Posted 12 Jun 2010 5:47 pm How To Learn
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nan and I both had lessons at the american Guitar studio in Montgomery, Mary Cranford was my teacher as well as Sarah Hodges, they started us out on Diagrams, where you sturm all 6 strings to play the melody, We would get a new song each week if we learned the song from the week before.
We both took enough lessons to use up all the songs the had noted by hand. Then we were moved over to the OAHU Modern Note Method, in A nd E major, and E seventh tunings.
After 3 months we had A get together with all the student on Saturday where we all played together, this session is where Nan and I met, June 1946.
On a snowey date it snowed 3 inches, that day, WE went out on the roof next door me and 1 other boy made snow Balls, with nothing to do with them, Nan stuck her head out the window and I hit that red head in her red Hair with a snowball I had never notice her before, But that started a 63 year love afare that still works.
What a way to learn steel guitar.

My warmest greetings to you and Nan
