It's been a little over 4 months now in Kuwait and as most of us have experienced, the first few months are always the toughest. Finding out which restaurant has the best view, which sheesha place is the best etc. Needless to say, there isn't much to do otherwise after work.

On such a nonchalant day, i made my way to High St. and bought myself an acoustic guitar. The problem? I have no idea how to play. So here's a shout out to fellow forum-ers (dunno if that even made sense); anyone know classes/ teachers or just strummers? Will be an awesome excuse to make some sweet noise.

Cheers.

whereabouts did u snag it and how much did it set u back, if u dont mind my asking

a lot of the peeps would say watch a few tutorials on youtube and then explore. i for one am just like u, in need of learning, ive mastered one tune which i forget depending on how long i go without practicing it.

Hi Legacy.

There's this very nice little shop ... almost a hideaway on High St. I don't quite remember the name, but its in the ground floor of a building where there is an underground clothing mall.

Got an Ibanez. MRP of 60, but got it for 45. & you are so much better than me, coz I don't even know how to strum. In short, so worthless that the YouTube videos didn't make sense either.

Anyway, a friend called saying there are classes which take place. Might be able to check them out this weekend.

Thanks a ton Dasanism. It will be great to catch up - surely will let the ball rolling at least.

Furkan, i had one friend scout for a couple of teachers and he landed up with one who gives out classes by coming to your house. we are waiting for his reply now, will keep you posted. Dasanism was kind enough to help us out, am sure keep jammin'

Does anyone know a good music school for kids, or maybe a teacher who comes to your house and that they can recommend from personal experience?
