Beginners unite!

:cry: i ish also noob can i join:confused:

I need to see wether have enough guitarists (by that I mean of all levels) joining me for this thing before I can have a gathering. So...yeah, just wait and see how it goes first lor..

Hey guys just to sweeten the deal..I've got an idea..

Instead of just guitaring at some plain void deck, why not try out what nature has to offer??

We can have it at EAST COAST PARK!!!!

..or any of the national parks which come to mind. =D

*UPDATE*

We can try out here. Very very nice for playing guitar

Hello! noob here too!! sounds interesting!

if u guys do organize it at the park in the link, can i come too?? hahaha mear my house
 
Suure.

For now, I'll see the responses next week and I will also need another or 2 more lau jiaos to join me also since I can't be the only one teaching guitar to all the beginners. It will be more fun also, as we each have our own unique styles of playing as to promote diversity.

Eh...really lah, all those can play guitar one, support me leh! EugeneSmasher, LadyinTears, Godspeed all these people dun shy lah! lol

And also instead of this being some show and tell type of guitar session, this will be more of a dialogue session. That means most of the time you will be bombarding me (or us) with whatever you want to know about the guitar, what you are trying to play and how we can help you, what techniques you must use and what not. I wanna make this session as interactive as possible.

First order of business though.

gannie, you live near the Henderson Bridges there issit? Okay, assuming that we might have it on a saturday afternoon, I need you to help me recce that wether there will be a lot of people using the shelters. I predict there will be a lot of people even on a friday evening if you check it out. If there is, we will be relocating to Hong Lim Speakers corner in Outram. Also, I think there are also guitarists here who are unfamiliar to get to Henderson so do kindly provide us the directions via MRT or Bus......or car. Me too.

Secondly, I don't mind if there are a few number of people showing up, but whatever you do, PLEASE DON'T BANG SEH ON ME LAST MINUTE! I don't want any bull crap like when I already reach either Henderson or Hong Lim then you all call me and say you all got something on and stuff. You either make yourself free on that day or you inform me like at least 2 days before the gathering that you can't make it so that I know at least I won't be playing alone to a wall and making a wasted trip.

Thirdly...lol, I think is quite obvious but please do bring your own acoustic guitar along. It will be very inconvenient for me and the other beginners/lau jiaos to keep passing guitars around once we show our stuff and letting you try out. It will be quite awkward. Been there done that.

Yeah I think that's about it. Also if you want to also make this a killer chill out gathering, you guys can also bring stuff like chips and drinks. Not bee hoon or all that picnic stuff ah! Don't think they will allow it in the shelters. Except East Coast.

OKAY, that being done. I will be making up a list of you guys who wanna turn up for this thing. I will be waiting for serene to come back from holiday first, so we won't leave her out.

Tentatively the date will be on the 2nd of May at Henderson Bridges. But something tells me we'll be doing it at Hong Lim instead. No biggie though.

Cheer's everybody. Hopefully the response is good.

It's on a saturday, but like i said it's tentative so there are no confirmations yet. I'm waiting for gannie to recce Henderson and for the TS to come back from her holiday.

I think I made the list too soon. So yeah, just watch this space. I'll be making another thread up about this.

Thanks for your interest anyway. ;)
 
Ahhh not a problem dood. It's a joy for me to do this, although its hard organizing. In my time I had very few people who taught me how to play. So I'm glad that even at my level I can do this thing and also maybe learn something new from you guys which I myself don't know. It's fun =)

Hahaha!! ok i can go recce! no problem, to tell u the truth... even thou i stay so near i have never walked the bridge! but i have been to the park at it is usually very quiet... esp further off the main track... nearer the flats at the foot of telok blangah hill. i will talk a walk there next sat to see again. at about what time of the day?

very easy to get there, the nearest MRT station would be Harbout Front. from there u can take either bus 145 or 131 from vivo city and get off once u see the bridge. for people who dont like to take NEL u can get off at Redhill mrt and take 145 from the mrt bus stop, again get off when u see the bridge

for those who drive, u can come in from Henderson road. now i dont really know where u guys wanna meet, so when a place is confirmed maybe i can give u guys better directions.
 
May I suggest for the first session, that we meet up at a train/bus station or something like that?
Easy to spot each other as we'll be carrying gtrs.
 
Hmmm good point there. Okay sure ;)

Very very good! I like the response so far, I can already see our gathering coming into play.

When the TS comes back, I'll get on it.

eh gannie ah, I plan to have this gathering at about tentatively 2 or 3 plus in the day so you try around that time also. If there are alot of people we will relocate to Hong Lim.

Thanks!
