The Time Keeper Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Many of you may not know it, but I've been teaching myself to play guitar. I have sung just about my whole life, but wasn't able to play guitar until I got my hearing aids. Now, I can hear the lower notes. What a difference in my world. I have posted this video to youtube as a Happy Valentine's Day card to friends and family AND also as a celebratory song for my 1 year of playing guitar (2/09/2009). So if you are brave Pirates, have a listen. Have your earplugs ready................................. The torture begins with a click Honestly, I hope you enjoy it.

HarborMaster Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 (edited) Honestly, I hope you enjoy it. /quote]I did ! Pretty damn good. Your accompaniment on the guitar was pretty good for just getting started ., but your voice even better . Excellent song selection for your voice.

The Time Keeper Posted February 12, 2010 Author Share Posted February 12, 2010 (edited) Thank you HarborMaster! I was raised in a home of constant music. My Dad had his own band for over 50 years, started as country and gravitated to bluegrass. He was a true entertainer. My Dad is gone now, but I know he's with me because I feel so happy when I play and sing. I've already had some small "gigs" some paid with money, some with food. LOL All in all, I do it because I love it. It sure does give me a bit of confidence to hear from people who aren't relatives. My relatives I assume are just being nice! Have a great Valentine's Day.

So far donations have totaled over $3,500) Edited February 14, 2010 by The Time Keeper Missed that last plank walkin'? Well, don't worry mate, get one of these here hidden clocks.

Rumba Rue Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Well you didn't scare me too badly. LOL! When I was still in high school my aunt wanted me to go into opera singing which of course I refused. I was in choir all throughout school. I play 12 string guitar (when I get the urge), but my voice is no longer what it use to be (I still can't read music and play/sing by ear). I use to sing high soprano in school, now I'm lucky if I can get to alto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Time Keeper Posted February 19, 2010 Author Share Posted February 19, 2010 I played my first bar chord last night! I got it 3 times out of 20, this morning 3 times out of 12! I'm teaching myself the actual guitar part of James Taylor's "You've got a Friend". I've been strumming it - but now I'm starting to sound like James.................. ha ha, right! I'm afraid it will be a while before this is ready for any video. LOL:D Missed that last plank walkin'? Well, don't worry mate, get one of these here hidden clocks.
