My Own Website - Mainly For Musicians


Recommended Posts

Well, I thought I'd take advantage of Mark's comfy new lounge, settle into a chair, and introduce my own website:

 

http://www.willflyguitar.com/

 

I've been playing for 50 years and music is a major part of my life - when it's not watches, of course! So, if you play music, or just like music, you might find something to interest you -and it's all free!

 

I'm sure you've also noticed, from Mark's earlier videos, that he plays some very nice piano - anyone else strum, blow, pick, bang...? :rock:

Nice one Will.

 

I actually cracked out my guitars this week as my son said he wanted to learn. So I was teaching him a few things and at the same time trying not to let on that my fingers were in pain lol. I haven't played for over a year and so the leather that used to be my finger tips is now baby soft.

 

Still it was good to play again - I missed it.

 

A friend of mine has invited me to accompany him to a song writers evening in Grimsby this Monday so I am looking forward to that.

 

BTW - I watched your latest vid last night and loved it - well done. For anybody who has not seen Wills Youtube channel yet, check it out as he really is amazing: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPG3dUiZm8-2ZSSq5YfqSPA

Thats a very interesting website Will and it's good of you to take the trouble to pass on what you have learnt,  much easier to learn from an expert, than the hard way.

 

Not having any musical ability myself, I am in awe of people who do.  I still entertain hopes of becoming a drummer (even though I do not own a drum kit) and dream of becoming the next Don Henley. Anyone willing to offer free or very cheap lessons in North Wales please get in touch.

Excellent - how old is your son, by the way? I didn't start playing until I was 20 - so the younger the better.

Excellent website Will.

I retired in September last year and bought myself a six string guitar, so apart from refurbishing watches, I have been attempting to learn how to play Blues. Up to now I have had more success with the watches, but I am slowly getting there with the guitar. I'll definitely be visiting your website now that I know it exists.

Hi Geo - lots of blues instruction videos on my YouTube channel.

    • Ok thanks Ross, I will give that a try!😁
    • Welcome my friend. 
    • Been there. Worn that Tshirt.  'ping'. Hands and knees. Nothing. Nada. 20 minutes? Ha! I found it 7 month later. How? Well, after advice from a member, I invested in a £4 UV light torch.  Hands and knees looking for a 'ping' from a Sekonda, found them both within 30 seconds. UV makes the jewel shine. easy peasy. Could have taken longer. Just lucky on the location of the search. Hope this helps.
    • Thanks Dell. I thought about silver soldering. Have never done it but would like to give it a go. Do you think to put flux on the butted joint then run the solder in or to maybe brace it with a piece of scrap spring steel?
    • Never and others. Yes, like you I do spend a fair amount of time reading the contents of this forum. I find it better that any other. Clear, lucid, no Prima Donas, and most of all an easy access without adverts. All thanks to Mark. God bless you mate. You give so much to many of us. What if? No Mark? Hypothetically. A forum. I did run a forum for a few years. Really enjoyed it, but became so engrossed that it did affect my health. I gave to to others to run. Not been back. It was very successful and rivalled a number of large paying sites. No adverts, no others but me. I did ask and listen to members comments and it worked well.    Costs Having a domain name, £10 annually.  Register the site with a forum company, free. Build the site using the forum company guide lines, free. It looked and ran almost the same a Mark's. All the same facilities. The cost was only £5 per month, but counted visits (views). If I recall, it was that price for 5,000 views. Each extra 5,000 views increased the price by £2 per month. Success was my own personal undoing. From £5 per month initially, it rose to £60 a month and looked like increasing. This was 10 years ago. I could not afford that, and asked it anyone would like to take over and someone did. I would assume that this is the price that Mark is funding for us all. His return is our continued comments on the internet about his course, and the fact that many of the big names on YouTube mention him as their Tutor. Those of us who have done, and are still using, his course, benefit. In comparison to other courses, I can't believe how cheap it is, and the value is exceptional. It is the structure that gives the value. Long may Mark reign. Ross
