well, I'm up 6 chords. Hopefully, I'll be able to get some help from my uncle (who plays by ear) when I see him in Coffeyville, Ks. thissummer.
I was hoping that there was some people over here on the west slope, so that we could get together & play some. I could use some help.
Ho, ho!
Tablatures have been used for plucked string instruments music for centuries. Lots of baroque pieces for lute were written in tablatures. I do think that the standard notation is very good for keyboards, and other instruments, but tablatures…
Agree. I started out, in the mid-60s - with rock and roll. E-A-D... you're ready for your first gig! Try THAT on a classical where you're playing all alone and the neck is really wide and you have to keep your thumb behind the neck. And look at the…

Welcome to the Acoustic Newb group. There are folks from all experience levels here and we learn a lot from each other. But there's no deep end to this pool, so jump in wherever you like.
