I just searched with Bard Express beta, under Music I found:
Guitar method for the blind Hoffer, Donald Charles Annotation: Introduction to the guitar, with instructions for playing chords and chordal accompaniments to folk tunes. Contains instructions for learning jazz, blues, and flamenco guitar styles. Book ID: DBM00697 HTH, Richard, USA "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. Margaret Rockwell Phanstiehl Founder of Audio Description (1932-2009) My web site: <https://www.turner42.com> https://www.turner42.com From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Richard Sent: Thursday, June 6, 2024 4:55 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: learning to play guitar and other stringed instruments as a blind person 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.

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 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. -- Dan Beaver (KA4DAN) USA -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
