Everyone, i'll be bringing my other stepson TJ to class Wednesday. I heard him playing Beethoven's "Fur Elise", and it sounded pretty good. I've heard him noodle with my electrics playing Black Sabbath's "Iron Man", and Blue Oyster Cult's "Fear the Reaper", so i know he can read TABS well. When i heard him playing "Fur Elise" finger style, i was quite surprised. He can hammer out the intro to "Stairway to Heaven", he's been playing for about the same time as i (about 9 mos.) and plays more songs, with less practice! Geez! I told him i thought he picked it up quickly (even his brother admitted to that, which is amazing---must be true, teenagers are always right!)I told him i thought his abilities would grow in the company of other musicians. He seems excited about attending. Dave, he's alot more humbler than his brother, and embraces theory. I did explain, however, that Slipknot and Deathklock wouldn't be part of our studies. He seemed ok with that!
