Gawd Phil, don't intimidate the poor guy.
I took lessons for two years; practiced and practiced but I never could get it. I just didn't have the brain (left side or right side) for it. Very dissapointed I always liked playing and the sounds generated, but I just could not for the life of me pick up the talent to string it all together in rhythm.
Watch Maestro Segovia's finger control,, his changes in melody, his cadence, tone and imagine,, if you will,, his thoughts as he mentally sings his way,,, through this incredible melody and composition! Like droplets of water falling slowly and cascading down to immerse your ever changing thoughts throughout a waterfall of melodic motion. It's easy to close your eyes and envision, yes?
Let me demonstrate - Let us say that you do know your chords, your finger placement, you octaves, changes and intervals. When you think in your head of a song or melody and then hum that sound or rhythm,, when you know the fretboard or better yet, know the octaves of a piano and how that can translate directly TO the guitar,, then without thought,, you can run that thought or melody ONTO the fretboard without second thought.
Make sense?
