(hopefully) found that very specific teacher

howdy all

despite offers from some superbly qualified forumites, and a good many other recommendations, i believe i have found the teacher to take me forward from the rut in which i currently find myself. we commence lessons this evening. 1 lesson every other week at a very competitive rate.

in fact, it must be said that almost without fail, the teachers i spoke to had fairly reasonable rates. i was honestly expecting around the r400 to r500 per lesson mark and they've all come in if not a little lower, then substantially lower.

anyway, i thought it might be interesting for some to follow my journey. if not, just, well, don't. ?

i'll use this thread to post my starting point, progress and wotnot.

Also looking for a teacher

ok, was a great session. have identified the following areas needing attention:
- finger strength (like, obvs)
- getting myself up and going with chord changes
- play around with some leaker rhythmic stuff

at this point, that's it. starting (or re-starting, rather) with the basics. and going from there. i'm in like flynn. i like the guy, helluva player and a nice guy to boot.

updates as and when. toodles

Would you mind sharing who it is? I would be interested to perhaps try them out when I get a few more spare $$$s.

i don't think that'd be a problem, i'll just clear it with him first. the only thing i won't do in an open forum like this is share the specifics of the exercises and such i've been given. i very much doubt the generalities of the thing would be a problem (finger strengthening exercises and so on) but to go on and post the tab of the specific exercises i've been given by this specific teacher would be a problem, especially if he'd developed them himself, for instance.

i think that's something we'd all understand.
