One discovery let to another and a lot of things suddenly made sense and became clearer. My knowledge expanded and my playing improved. I learned all this in small steps.”

That paragraph hit me hard! I discovered your website last week, and have been slowly learning all the notes. I have been playing for 10 years and have never known a single note, just played scales and chords I was taught years ago. I never ventured outside my box. Now, I finally have and I was telling my significant other the other day that it feels as if a switch in my brain finally clicked! I know now what I’m actually doing..
Thanks!

Thnx for replying.. As I want my mind to settle down I want to explain to you my situation.. Our family is financially stable.. And as you asked, yes I will be able to support my family financially in future as the job I am doing is for the government and it has full job security.. My parents know that too.. They just want that I aim for the top position. And yes u were absolutely right that my parents want the best for me.. And Sir honestly, I am not blaming theit’s or this.. But those jobs demand high responsibility towards work which means whole of my time will be eaten up at work, there will be no space for guitar.. I will have more money may be, but will I be satisfied? its just this, that I didn’t join for guitar in my school because studies was Top priority, didn’t join after my school because I had to work hard with my career at college. And now that I have a job, is it wrong or too late to dream about being a guitarist? Klaus I don’t know what level I would reach at guitar but now I feel like I have an aim of being an accomplished guitarist and I will fight hard for it.. Sir am I doing wrong?

Hi Souvik,

It depends. How are your circumstances? How are your financies? Do you make enough money to support yourself?
Will you make enough money to support your (future) spouse and kids?
Your parents probably didn’t have the job opportunities you have now and they want the very best for you.
You can’t blame them.

But this is your life and your happiness.
Follow your heart.

your website is amazing and really helpful. you are doing a great job. you are really inspirational too. after reading some of your blogs i think you might help me with my situation as i am finding no one to tell or make them comprehend. i live in india. i am 24. i have a govt job. i am learning guitar since 2 years. guitar is my dream. i always think that i should have started earlier but due to my studies and career i couldnt. but now my parents are forcing me to go for a more higher quality job. but i know, then i wont have time for guitar and would have to move out of my home town. now i have a decent job, i get time for guitar but due to this forcing of parents a lot of things go through my mind like can i ever become good at guitar? will in future i regret not opting for better job? etc etc. i cant explain to my parents that the job i am doing is enough for me and its best as i get ample time to plan for guitar. i am confused. you may well understand my situation. please help sir. will be eagerly waiting for your response.
a fan of yours
Souvik

Hi Sue,

Chords with open strings are open chords.
Chords with NO open strings (like barre chords) are closed chords.

The chords in the post below are all open chords
