    YouTube is a great place to start with loads of beginners lessons. All about practice and putting in the time say 30 mins a day because you will get bored quite quickly with more than that

    Loads on YouTube with the likes of Marty and Justin are very good for beginners

    My teacher plays in a local band and as a musician for other bands, including one famous pro. I can PM you his contact details but I'll have to check with him first. He is doing lessons remotely via zoom during covid. He plays and teaches guitar, keyboards and music theory and comes to you - he is based in South Shields. If you can give a town/village where you're based I'll contact him and find out if he's taking on pupils

    me dads best friend knew the Everly brothers ! they would visit him in South hylton where he lived when they played here and he had all their records and signed photos of them together next to his fire engine, which is how they met, went to their concerts etc would love to have seen them in his house doing 'wake up little suzy' we used to go to see him sometimes to see his collection. i play the organ canny but not as good as Rick wakeman lol. Maybe we could form a group called the 'not606's !

    Marty is canny on YouTube but I think it all depends on what sort of style you are wanting to play. Face to face is also good to pick up the basics then do YouTube to develop your skills.

    Definitely and the likes of John Robson from Boro does online video face to face lessons via Skype. Get a few face to face then it will be a little bit easier to use YouTube. Some of them YouTube lessons baffle me with all the theory lol

    Aye, it’ll take a couple of hundred sweaty gigs and a fortnight in a ditch to get mine like his.
