Willy and Hal

[A Moose in Love]

I have William Bay's 1A, and Hal Leonard's book 1 through 3. I didn't
make much in the way of progress using Willy's method, and find that
using Hal's method, I can progress at a more comfortable rate. I am
still using WB 1A, although for only about 1/2 hour per day, while
spending about 1.75 hours using HL. btw, I'm a beginner; 5 weeks into
learning this instrument. I used to play accordion when a kid; and
also played baritone horn in a marching band.
I must have gone through WB's 'Arkansas Traveler', I don't know how
many times. I'm still not up to tempo.

Statement or question?

I haven't seen the Wm Bay book but it has probably been updated by Mike
Christiansen. You might want to look into some of his other publications.

He's kind of the "Guitar for Dummies" type. K.I.S.S. method. :)

Sound a disciplined approach, although I'm not sure I want to know
what AT sounds like (practise... as for what's that, other than what
some may do, seriously, 8 hours a day, 8 days a week). I do however
like how a few among many classical composers are supposed to sound.
Some more than others, "levels" I suppose, as I wasn't either trained
at a musical observatory, conservatory, while under any particular
school methodology, or within masterly persuasions or tutelage. Past
any stigma of classicism, I suppose, and it's just so much written
music dating back five centuries or more. Mostly all available to all
and everyone for free online. Which, at least to me, doesn't mean one
can get away without improvising in a revealing sense of
professionalism attained, or not, if say to play a Beatles' standard
for the sake of flair. Almost if among a later tradition, considering
Chet Atkins' sole-stringed renditions, or one of Hawkes' sorts from
understudy credits to the Berkley School of Guitar ...

Couldn't be any worse than Arkansas Traveler, in hindsight;- Paul sat
around for inspiration ensuing across many way-past masters and hits,
listening in to an array from his father's songs, perhaps a mundane
but kindly-spirited fellow, if not limited in his role of performing
musician;- Funny, among fathers, namely Murray Wilson's musicality and
the sort of bastard he could be, how Paul come to then regard Brian
Wilson as his only serious creative contender at the time.

That's a good idea.
