Hello from Alaska

Posted by Deborah Yohannah Peterson on October 28, 2016 at 9:28pm

I’m new to CBG’s, I’ve been looking at Youtubes and have ordered some lessons.   I don’t yet own a CBG, but I’m doing a lot of online looking.  

I have a life-long love of music and have been listening to blues for a while now.  I’m smitten with the 3 string slide and picking sound and hope to find the instrument that is just right for me so I can get started learning.

    Welcome Yohanna.   The lesson that got me going was knotlenny's CBG 101.   It is free and you can find it at page top.  Hover your mouse cursor over  'Resources'.   Beneath that, click on 'How to play'.   You can find that and other lessons there and for free.

    So, I'm headed to Melbourne, Florida in a week and a half.  I'll be catching up with a friend there who claims to have a CBG he's going to give me.  He can't tell me much about it - it might be playable, it might be a wall-hanger.  We'll see, I can't wait . . . .

      Hope it's playable. If it isn't, we might be able to guide you in getting it to be playable.

      Thank you, Paul.  I'll know soon.  Can't wait!!

      Like Paul said , most are playable, plenty of help here, and a couple of very good guitar makers from here live in Florida, and they might be able to give it a look over

      Thank you Darryl.  Who do we like in Florida?  :-)

      Among others, there's Ted Crocker in Stuart,[about 70 miles] from Melbourne, and G P Monroe, both make fine guitars and other stuff, both members here

    Welcome, Yohannah! :-D

    Welcome Yohannah. It takes time to get the skill, so just keep at it. It's not about how good you can be at playing, it's about how much you like to play.

    • Deborah Yohannah Peterson > Paul Craig October 29, 2016 at 3:46am

      Thank you everyone for the welcomes.  Paul, before I can get the skill, I have to get a guitar.  Still looking.  :-)
