My Dad left me a Herk Favilla C-5 Overture in Mahogany. When he owned it he had steel strings on it and (Ugh!) he put a pick board on it. Kinda one of the dumb things he did w/his life. It is my favorite possession.

I also own a 8 course/ 13 Rosewood rib Lute hand crafted by the honorable Hirotake Watanabe of Japan.

My husband recently purchased a Yamaha F-310 for $50 and is learning how to play this polyphonic instrument.

My whole family played guitars and I go for long periods when I don't play. Then I practice a lot. It is both a time thing and a mood thing.

My biggest challenge playing has been learning how much pressure is needed to make a full bar chord sound. I usually make the mistake of using too much pressure causing some strings to buzz.

I had a wonderful teacher when I was young and learned to read music on guitar. My musical style is classical, folk, flamenco, country picking and licking.

I have written one piece of music for guitar in D modal called "Decent of Angels"

For me guitar is perhaps the most beautiful sounding instrument.

"I am leanirng Guitar. I ahve no teacher, I ahve to learn via DVDs, help a Brother out, What would you suggest? "

Learn the notes names of the 6th and 5th string and then learn basic chord shapes, for maj, min, maj7, 7b5 ...

Learn to play the maj and minor, pentatonic and blues keys

Practice, practice, practice .... and more practice : )

One never finishes learning Guitar
