Next in my never-ending series of questions...

I enjoy playing guitar but life would be more pleasant for the rest of the family if I could take some lessons and improve!

Last year, I did find a flyer (printer on orange paper) in the tourist office advertising guitar lessons but I've lost it and the tourist office no longer has that leaflet.

I'm particularly interested in fingerstyle blues, ragtime and slide, and would like to find a French teacher so I can improve my French at the same time as the playing.
A Google search suggests there is no-one closer than Poitiers - does anyone know of a teacher closer to Montmorillon/Adriers?

Failing that, are there any other people out there who would like to meet informally to play and learn?

Sorry Brian I can't help with that one myself maybe another member may know more. But it's gone out on our Twitter account https://twitter.com/AroundMontForum so hopefully someone can help.

I tried once when I was a kid as i liked blues even then, but could never get the hang of. I thought being left handed would have been an advantage as it worked for Jimi Hendrix, but it wasn't to be.

Hope you get a result.

After what seems an age, one of my high-trained pixies enters my top-secret bunker somewhere in the valleys of the Vienne with news of guitar courses.

Breathless and overly-excited she tells me there is someone offering courses in guitar and bass.  The numbers: 05 49 48 99 10 or 06 18 33 44 47.  Male or female is unknown but thought to be based Montmorillon.

The other startling piece of information she imparts is that there is a music school in Montmorillon offering all sorts.

l'Ecole de Musique Intercommunale de Val du Gartempe.
4 rue des Augustins,
Montmorillon.

05 49 91 16 70

email: [email protected]

Good luck with all that. Whistle

The pixie is facing a courts martial for taking so much time to come up with this potentially usless information. Thumbsdown

Admiral - many thanks to you and your pixies for this information. I shall call the Madame or Monsieur and report back,

In fact I had tried the Montmorillon Music School and they were a bit perplexed that anyone over the age of 18 would actually want to learn something. As I have recently (at least in my mind) celebrated my 21st birthday they were reluctant to accept the challenge.

Thanks again!
Brian

Hi Stephen.
Sorry about that. I've been so busy on various projects that none of the guitars had seen the light of day for 6 months or more. One day though. ..
