Hey ,

 

I'm sitting in a coffee shop with extremely cold feet. The only seat left was next to the door. But I'm fascinated sitting here...

 

I'm a social creature.

 

A social creature that lives (out of choice I might add) in a reasonably isolated place.

 

Occasionally I get cabin fever and escape to a more social environment to work.

 

It improves my focus and recharges my need to be around real 3D people.

 

Seeing how others interact fascinates me. Body language, tone of voice and what's being said.

 

Seeing how other people learn and take in new information is also revelatory at times.

 

Some people learn through images and a visual style.

 

Others through constant note taking.

 

But for the first time ever I've found a new approach.

 

One of my students learns through metaphors!

 

For example, to get more volume out of a hammer on it's "hitting your head against a brick wall"

 

Rhythm's are described as "rolling down in a barrel."

 

We made a joke that we'll always talk in metaphors from now on, if anything starts to make logical sense then we've failed!

 

But we all learn differently.

 

A lot of people use TAB (Student Area TAB Link Here)

 

Some people work out songs by ear. (Earmaster Pro)

 

Whatever style you prefer I hope you pick up the guitar this weekend.
