might sound stupid, but if you can afford it, a new guitar can help. The excitement of the new guitar can help to hold your attention and practice more.

I think what is important when it comes to tuning that a tuning is used that suits her voice and not necessarily what anyone else is using, I will think this through to see what I can come up with that might be suitable. The idea is to remove as many obstacles as possible and minimise the effort involved. This would also include choice of material, and i guess what i mean by that is to choice songs that don’t jump arouind too much into different keys and stick pretty much to a 1 4 5 type of pattern, this way the guitar could be tuned to an open chord (1) the fifth fret would be 4 and the 7th would be the 5 chord e.g in the key of D , it would be D G and A , the guitar from bass to top would be D A D Fsharp A and D, to play in the minor, just retune the 3rd to F. Whereas if the the voice was more suited to G , it would be G open , C at the 5th a barre and the 7th would be a D chord. The guitar would be tuned tuned from bass to top D G D G B D , for your minor, drop the 2nd B string to Bflat. I think you need tro establish the most comfortable key for the voice and then decide from there. And that won’t be too difficult deciding on a tuning once you know what suits. Otherwise you are trying to adjust the singer to the guitar or to someone else’s way of doing things, and that is back to front. Get back to me please.

Sorry bout the delayed response

Hi,
Can I get your comment on this? I am working with a Philippine young lady born with no arms and just foot-stubs on her hips. She would like to be a singer. I have a few videos of her on Youtube (here is one link of her writing, to show her dexterity http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFU4pGnnA1M, and another of her singing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCVKna3h82M&NR=1. (Both as a 16-year old, totally untrained. She is now in school, at the first grade level, rapidly catching up.) My question is per the guitarist Tony Melendez, who is armless and plays the guitar. Do you have an idea on the tuning of the strings? (I’m a guitarist, so I know the tuning can be simplified for bar chords.) I’m wondering if a 3/4 guitar could be used by her. She obviously has to have some help, but she walks, can pick up coins, is learning to play piano and read music. Thanks for your input.

Lovely video and song. Good blog too.

I’m rather tired of playing guitar to be honest. I’ve just given too much to it to be able to give it up.
