[musictlk] can a blind person play guitar

[brother Timothy Clark]

i’m willing to give voice and guitar lessons for free. i’m not professionally trained though. 
 if that’s ok i’ll do help you with both for free via Skype. the catch simply is this. you promote my sites in exchange for my time and it will work out for everyone. 
 god bless you

I think you should decide for sure what you want to take lessons for, your voice or the guitar, since money, transportation and teachers are an issue. If someone here is willing to help you using Skype, great. But everyone's time and expertise are valuable, and you shouldn't expect something from them for nothing from you. If someone here is going to give you free lessons, make it worth their time and while!

>> Hello,
>> I've been considering learning guitar for quite a while.  I have a good ear and have solid skills on the piano, so that shouldn't be an issue.  However, I tried taking a guitar class at college and the one thing I really struggled with was locating the frets on each string.  For example, playing a chromatic scale on guitar was really hard for me since I found it difficult to move from string to string and locate the frets.  This is why I'm hesitating a bit on signing up for lessons.  Is it possible for a blind person to learn to play guitar? If so, any tips on how to make locating the frets easier? I really don't want to put Braille labels on my guitar if I don't have to.
