Kicking Things Off! (Introductions)
I’ll start things off! I’m Sean, a guitar instructor from Texas, I have been teaching since the mid 90s. I’ve had a brick and mortar Guitar Academy since 2004. I’ve been teaching online since 2009. Tell me about you! I’d love to hear your story! Doesn’t have to be elaborate, just what you play how long, any favorite guitars or bands or passions, and anything else you’d like to share! I was a fixture in the Musicians Talk Forum on Ultimate Guitar, which many of you have probably heard of. This was where we all talked music theory and helped other guitarists. I’ve made many great friendship over the years from people there! Currently, I am one of the leaders in the Facebook community “Guitar and Music Theory” which has over 100k members. Beyond all of that, helping others is a passion of mine, and I have been fortunate to have picked up some very unique insights about music and making it easy for others to do the same. I really just want to grow a really tight knit community of like minded players, and hang out, help one another, so if you’d like to join in, welcome aboard, and I hope to be a positive influence in your own guitar journey. One thing that I hope we can do are those virtual meetups, where we just hang out and talk about whatever. and I’m excited to see where that goes. Below is a picture of my studio, where I’ve been teaching out of since 2016. Look forward to getting to know everyone and making new friends!

Creating an instrumental again.
I've made instrumentals for the songs "Lost Highway" and "Wayfaring Stranger". But it got me to thinking. When the wife and I drive in our car to the big city, I have an mp3 player that plays a lot of songs we like. When the mp3 player plays, "When Our Blue Moon Turns to Gold Again", my wife and I sing it together. Well, I thought I should play it on guitar and create an instrumental for it, so when the wife and I are out on the porch, we can sing together and it will have a break halfway through with the instrumental I create. So this is my first stab at making an instrumental for the song, and I think it will work once I smooth it out. Any tips are more than welcome.

On the tribute band trail
So we've experienced a few of these of late....last night it was 'The Eagles Greatest Hits' band (following on from ELO, Led Zepplin, CCR, Pink Floyd to name a few) We loved them a couple of years ago and thought we'd revisit the show. Different venue and sound system and after being excited about getting front row seats ...only lasted 2 songs before moving towards some free seats at the back and employing the tissue ear plug trick ha ha. Then all was perfect !! ....well apart from the fact that I couldn't zone in as easily on the guitars....but, sigh, I do value my hearing !
