Still Want to Play Guitar?
Did a song light you up back in the day? For me it was John Denver’s Leaving On a Jet Plane in 3rd grade, when a trio of 6th grade girls played it at school assembly. I couldn’t take my eyes off the guitar and knew at once I had to play. But there was a 4 year wait for lessons. That was tough because I really wanted to play.
I’m a senior now- so grateful for guitar and the amazing 60s/70s songs that have kept me company through all the good and bad times of life.
If you’re a senior and guitar still calls to you, you’re one of my tribe. It’s your turn now. And no, it’s not too late.

Losing Your Place In Blackbird?
Most players aren't tripped up by the difficulty level of “Blackbird”, but by keeping track of where they are in the song! There are the basic sections, but also short variations that make tracking your way through the song challenging. Best way to fix this is with lots of close listening- on repeat! There’s no substitute for that. But here’s a video I made to name these short variations and help my students identify exactly where they are in the song. See if it helps you!
