David ,
This ” king of the no talent bum guitar wannabes ” is thankful to Guitar Noise and E media. I continue to work at it at 56 but you are wonderful . Play Guitar should be monthly because there are a lot of us out there. I believe a lot of Boomers will ” refind ” themselves and harken back to the 60′s through the guitar. david , i wish I had more money but i will try to send you guys a few bucks. I run a non profit here in Connecticut promoting live music. I know it’s tough but thank you again !
Joe

Hello to everyone!

Thank you, as always, for your kind words concerning my work – at Guitar Noise as well as at Acoustic Guitar and Play Guitar! Magazines.

Concerning Guitar Noise, the site is NOT gone. Paul (who owns and runs it) had to move the site to a new server last week. That is something that never seems to go smoothly. We’re up and running but there are still some occasional glitches. Your patience is appreciated.

And thank you all as well for the various suggestions for song lessons. I will do my best to try to work them into the list of lessons I’m putting together.

Be chatting with you all again soon.

Peace

David

I would also like to thank you for all your excellent work. Two months ago, on my 49th birthday, I received my very first guitar as a gift. A google search for “guitar lessons” found many sites, but yours on guitarnoise were by far the best. I was shocked to find that site gone as of last week. Do you have any news for us concerning that? Is there any chance you can re-publish those lessons on another site?

I too have a suggestion for a future lesson, and it is “Through Her Eyes” by Dream Theater. The lead is decidedly electric, (yeah!) but it’s so slow and mellow, my feeling is it’d be not only an excellent introduction to playing lead, it could also serve as the basis for a discussion of musicality.

Regards,
Jay

Hey Tony, I have that exact same problem. I have yet to figure it out.

First of all, thanks for teaching me how to play guitar. Second, if you’re looking for requests for a new lesson on GuitarNoise.com, I suggest Radiohead’s “Go To Sleep.” Playing only one guitar part falls short of capturing the extremely interesting layered guitars in the song, and I think it would be really fun to make an arrangement for the three guitar parts, but I don’t have the skill to do that.

Thanks again,
Brian

Hi, Love your work. Discovered you at guitarnoise was pleasently surprised to find you at “Play Guitar”.

Hope you can offer suggestions. Doing lesson 12 (beginner) “I Shot the Sheriff” and I came back to a recurring problem with my technique. When I do upstrokes while palm muting I keep sounding the hi E string. When I use fretting hand pinky across strings more often than not I keep sounding a buzz note from the high E string; because I keep getting the pinky on top of the fret higher up the neck. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks for all the great lessons! Tony Conn
