Any Questions?
A page where pupils, who have a question which arises between lessons, can keep in touch. Parents are also invited to post questions. Senior pupils wishing to help out less experienced pupils are welcome to contribute.
All questions and comments need to be posted through the comments box.
Important - if you are a pupil, please leave only your first name, year and school. This is standard internet safety procedure. These details will be enough for me to know who is writing (remember there are well over 100 of you).
Not so much of a question - more of an apology!!
I can’t make the Showcase event on Friday night as we have a family gathering which I MUST attend. Hope all goes well. How about some video/audio clips on your blog??

I’m not sure if Peter has plans to record anything. I will have my hands full with 34 guitarists (204 strings to tune - arrgghh) but will see if I can get hold of the mini disc recorder I used for the existing samples and then try to persuade someone to record at least our bit for posterity.

Hiiyyaahh Mr Coady
Its Emma Bald here.
I am having problems learning I’m A Believer that we have to learn for next week . I get the rhythm but I cant understand the notes. I know the first notes are a G but I have forgoten where it is :L
Could you please tell me the string and the fret please.

OK Emma - here’s the deal. Instead of me simply telling you where it is, I’ll help you look for it. Try the very first page of The Guitarist’s Way. Also - you might want to explore this little note finder http://www.musicards.net/music_flash_cards/guitar_notes.html# - if you want to know what an open string is called - click on the brown bit to the left of the strings instead of clicking on a fret.
Good luck
Mr Coady

Hi Ruaraidh
The tune is called Girl From Ipanema, I’ll post the chords at the top of the Guitar Group Parts. The event is Wednesday 1 Oct - and you (along with Callum, Andrew and Calum if he’s keen to take part) should see Mr Paterson as soon as you can.
Thanks for doing this.
