Jo Ann, First of all, please allow me to break that misconception by telling you that the opportunity to teach one of the Arts to someone is rarely anything even remotely approaching an "imposition" to most who can teach. Let those players who have already made the offer decide whether or not it's a waste of their time. If they made the offer, it's rather obvious that it's not. :O) High pitch hearing loss shouldn't get in your way. In the beginning, you'll need your memory skills more than your hearing as you learn a new language (music) as well as study a new map (the guitar's fingerboard). As you improve, you'll also learn how to strum and pick in ways that will allow for an increase in volume over what you had been able to do before. You'll also discover the best postures that help you to hear the guitar better. (fun hint: place the small extrusion of the center of your ear canal directly on the guitar and pluck a note) lol Peace, GMan The only dumb questions are the ones we fail to ask. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jo Ann Weaver" <bookworm54@xxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, January 26, 2008 10:53 AM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: OT- learning guitar- hey GMan > Thanks GMan, > > Will look around for a teacher.
