"It's no great honor to be blind, but it's more than a nuisance and less than a 
disaster. Either you're going to fight like hell when your sight fails or 
you're going to stand on the sidelines for the rest of your life." -- Dr.

Don Hoffer’s Guitar method for the blind  

 

Do you know if this course is still there, possibly with a different title? I’m 
searching on audio files in BARD and not finding any. Finding many Bill Brown 
items, but not this one.

I began learning guitar from a course from NLS called Don Hoffer’s Guitar 
method for the blind. Also a sighted person should have no trouble teaching 
someone who is blind the guitar. I took guitar lessons from someone who was 
sighted and had no problems. I also learned a lot by ear.

I imagine you're with the NLS BARD service? Because there's a bunch of 
material by Bill Brown. Hope this helps some!

HI all,

 

I am asking this on 2 lists since I have seen posts about playing musical 
instruments on both.

 

I am wanting to learn to play guitar, mandolin, etc.  I have no sight at all so 
would definitely have to learn to play in a tactile manner.

 

How have those on these lists who play instruments learned to do so?   I have 
no one near me who knows how to teach a blind person to play so I may have to 
do this on my own.

 

thanks for any help with this.
