Progress at guitar class Posted on January 19, 2004 Instructor: What are you playing? What are you playing?!! Me (Getting my fingers crossed again): Uh. I think it’s A? No nooo. C? Ah. Uh… Instructor (Most exasperated now as I don’t think he’s had such a dumb student in a while): You’re playing the wrong string, dear. Me (Wishing there weren’t so many b***** strings): But why is it so complicated? I’m trying to play B and I keep playing E, by mistake!! Instructor (eyes rolling heavenwards): Okay, let’s check the score on TV now. As you can imagine, I’m still stuck at the string (also the instructor’s favourite): namely G.

Two noteworthy performances Posted on November 18, 2005November 18, 2005 I have to write about two performances that I enjoyed in the last week. One was last Sunday evening at the Palace Grounds – Octoberfest, the festival organized by Kingfisher. Since, beer is not something that tickles my fancy, I was hoping the music would be worth going for. On that note, I must also add, that I was pleasantly surprised by the way the whole set-up was organized. They had nice seating arrangements all around the front area of the stage, so you could chill out and eat your food and drink your beer and enjoy the music from wherever you were.

Songs from the wood Posted on February 6, 2006February 7, 2006 Jethro Tull as expected rocked the IIM grounds last Friday (Jan 3). It was my first visit to the much hallowed campus and whatever little I saw looked good. There was hardly any space for parking with all the narrow roads choc-a-bloc with vehicles. I made a reasonably early entry arriving with my precious pass in hand (thanks to Usha!). As soon as I entered the grounds, I made my way to the very front of the stage.

“Totully Tullified!” Posted on February 2, 2004 I see that my smart cat has kept you updated on my moves. It’s true, I’ve been distracted lately. But first things first. Let me tell you what happened yesterday. For starters, I had nearly left my entry pass to the Tull-Chaurasia show behind. I remembered at the last moment… Share this: Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Share on Reddit (Opens in new window) Reddit Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window) Pinterest Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window) Tumblr Print (Opens in new window) Print Read More

So Relax, I don’t rate myself very high on Guitar front but One Advice,be regular with you Practice Watch yourself consciously while you practice learn few things but learn them the correct way. Bad Habits picked up now will be tough to be undone So much for now Need any Guitar help shoot a mail(thats best I can help you from here) Reply
Patience, my dear… patience. I was thrown out of violin class due to what my instructor called “salacious glances”, thrown out of my guitar class due to what the instructor called “crooked fingers”, thrown out of drums class due to what the instructor called a “way too independent” spirit… I play the guitar and drums pretty decently now 🙂 How? Friends and loads of online lessons. Yay!! Reply
