Hey folks ..... if you would like to review the tuition you receive from me please feel free to do - it's of great help to me but also to others in the area seeking guitar tuition. You’ll probably be best to use the words "I recommend" and the tag "Bill Higgins Guitar Tuition / Guitar Lessons in Dundee" ..... as it seems that these days Facebook doesn’t offer business pages a reviews tab. For the time being I've also allowed everyone permission to post anywhere on my page.

Happy 73d birthday to the great Mark Knopfler!
“I think kids learning from transcription books is fine, but I think the best way to learn music is from lots and lots of old records. It helps when you’re learning something new to have some sort of feel for what has come before. BB King wouldn’t play the way he played unless he’d heard Lonnie Johnson."
You have to start with American music in the ,20s. It would help if you knew about Irish and Celtic music as well. American music is essentially a nuclear fusion of blues and country. That's what the whole thing's about. Nothing else matters. You have to know the history of it, which doesn't involve listening to Otis Rush just once. It doesn't involve listening to Speckled Red once. It doesn't involve listening to Gid Tanner And The Skillet Lickers once. It doesn't involve listening to Bob Wills once. It's extremely foolish to have all these music schools create opportunities for talented kids to learn how to do technical things unbelievably well, when they don't understand where the hell it's coming from. Lots of people play music and don’t really hear it, which brings us to the subject of musical musicians and unmusical musicians. There are many impressive players who are far more technically adept than I am, for instance, but they're not hearing it, they're just doing it. Sticking stuff in the right boxes, depending on what the progression is.

The song that made Iggy Pop, Pete Townshend and Jimmy Page get into music A cornerstone of rock history.

I'm introducing some easy-to-play pop music to a young student of mine ..... wonder what she'll make of this one tonight. Still sounds amazing after nearly 50 years. Marc Bolan ... just a few chords, a great riff ... loadsa hit records ... pure genius. Bit different to the lesson that follows (which will be Led Zeppelin's acoustic piece "Bron-Yr-Aur") ..... https://youtu.be/TIAnR8nAMbc

T.Rex - 20th Century Boy Quality tune.

A warm welcome to my new students - Matt online in Edinburgh, young Emile in Broughty Ferry, Nigel in Tayport and Stewart, also from Tayport. Meanwhile ..... my regular student Jake has just sent me this. He said he feels like putting his acoustic aside and taking up the electric, having heard BB King in this clip. Guess what? To be really good at what he does, even BB says that he had to practice!
