Hi guys!

Finally! I once again can continue making video after emigrating back to the Netherlands! It was quite a stressfull ordeal. When we arrived, we could stay for a while with friends and family but we didn't have a place of our own! Thankfully we were able to find a nice place to live in the city of Den Bosch! Now that most of our stuff is out of the boxes I'm ready to get back to work! For this week's video I will take you through 'Apache' by the shadows

Thanks everybody for your support!!

Dear Thom, when you'll be settled and relaxed I will join you in Den Bosch for a series of 'full immersion' guitar lessons, hoping with your help to learn to play something. I understand that you are an excellent teacher and can play anything I like! For me it would be a great study-holiday, 3 hours of lessons every day, for at least 3 weeks! would you feel like it? :o) Best regards!

Loved this lesson, thank you for it! The Shadows, and specifically this song, were my gateway to electric guitar :-)

Hi Luca, I love the passion and commitment you show! 3 hours of lessons every day for 3 weeks! wow! I'm afraid I don't quite have the time to be able to offer that, but here is what we can do: for a price you can send me a video of you playing a song of your choice and I will listen to it and send back a personal response video with tips on your playing. Let me know if this is something you would be interested in!

hello, Thom, thank you for your kind reply. I started playing guitar more than 30 years ago, but from the beginning I had a big problem: small hands, short and weak fingers. So many chords I can't pick up, many famous licks I can't play... I need a short scale guitar, max 24", with a very thin and comfortable neck, high frets, high enough action. And then I have no musical ear and no sense of timing, so I really need a series of lessons with a teacher who makes me play, play, play, correcting me all the time. I never hoped to play complicated stuff: rock'n'roll and rockabilly from the 50s, classic blues and country, the American rock of Fogerty, Springsteen and Mellencamp, the Rolling Stones... all things that a guy learns in a couple of years of study, and I'm always standing there, because my fingers don't respond! So my proposal was a desperate attempt to ask for help, because YOU are the teacher I would like to have. Also because you are so ENTHUSIASTIC about the music you propose! So, what to do? nothing, I keep trying Cotton Fields, Call Me the Breeze, Apache, California Stars, Suspicious Minds.... all with no results... ah, I forgot: my right hand is as stiff as a brick!

Stiff is a brick , ha! Well I would then suggest to do a lof of strumming. You could do a few beatles songs, take on John lennons rhythm guitar parts. All my loving is is one that will definitely loosen up the hand!

when I have the guitar in my hand I feel like a child with an overgrown bicycle, difficult to reach the pedals, to turn or stop without falling off... should I switch to mandolin? :oD
