Community News and Interviews for the Catskills & Northeast Pennsylvania

In this episode, Paul Andrews breaks down the eight most common mistakes he sees beginner guitarists make and, most importantly, how you can avoid or fix them. If you feel like your guitar progress has stalled or you're unsure what's holding you back, this comprehensive guide will put you back on track. From practicing without a plan to quitting too soon, Paul covers it all, offering actionable advice and resources along the way.Key Topics Covered1. Practicing Without a PlanMany beginners “noodle” aimlessly, not making real progress.Solution: Structure your practice sessions, even if it's just five or ten minutes per skill.Resource: Practice plans available in the Resources section of the Beginner Guitar Academy dashboard.2. Skipping the BasicsJumping straight to fun riffs and songs without building strong foundational skills (like chord changes, picking, and strumming) slows your progress.Solution: Invest time in fundamental skills. They're the foundation for everything else you learn.3. Ignoring Rhythm and TimingFocusing on the right notes but not on playing them in time leads to unrecognisable music.Solution: Use a metronome or backing track from early on. Internalise the beat by tapping your foot or nodding your head.4. Avoiding Barre Chords and Hard ShapesMany skip tough chords (like barre or C chord) because they're challenging.Solution: Face the hard shapes in manageable steps—power chords, then mini-barres, then full barre chords.Resource: Check out the Power Chords and Barre Chords workshops in the Academy.5. Not Playing Complete SongsLearning only riffs and song parts can be fun, but it leaves you stuck.Solution: Commit to learning full songs!Beginner-friendly song suggestions:“Songbird” by Oasis“Knockin' on Heaven's Door” (Bob Dylan version)“Come As You Are” by Nirvana“Zombie” by The Cranberries“Seven Nation Army” by The White Stripes6. Building Bad Technique HabitsCommon issues include collapsing fingers, muted strings, and stiff strumming.Solution: Slow things down and focus on form. Recording yourself and seeking teacher feedback can help spot and fix these issues.7. Comparing Yourself to OthersSocial media or peer comparison can rob you of joy.Solution: Compare your progress only to your past self. Chart small, incremental improvements.8. Quitting Too SoonNinety per cent of beginners quit within the first year due to unrealistic expectations or a perceived lack of time.Solution: Consistency is key—just a few minutes a day leads to breakthrough progress.Community News & ResourcesSeptember Live Member Q&A: Recording now available in the Academy's dashboard (video and audio formats).Practice Plan Downloads: Find them in the Resources section to help you organise and structure your weekly practice.Workshops: “Get to Grips with Power Chords” and “Get to Grips with Barre Chords” are available to Academy members.Key TakeawaysMistakes are normal! But with proper planning, patience, and guidance, you can overcome or avoid them entirely.Consistency and structured practice are your secret weapons.If you need a clear, step-by-step roadmap, join Beginner Guitar Academy with a 14-day trial for $1 at

Hosts Kevin Flynn and Alex Taylor kick off the show on a high note, celebrating a weekend of gorgeous, unseasonably warm weather with highs predicted to reach 87 degrees on Monday. They also discuss a major news story: the indictment of former FBI director James Comey on charges of making false statements and obstruction of a congressional proceeding. The hosts play and react to Comey's public statement, in which he portrays himself as a martyr standing up to Donald Trump. They also feature commentary from legal experts who believe the indictment is long overdue and a necessary step toward accountability. In other segments, they cover a variety of topics, including the new president and CEO of the Fargo-Moorhead Convention and Visitors Bureau, Shirley Hughes, who shares her vision for the community and provides an update on the city's convention center project. Agricultural Director Bridgette Readel joins the show to discuss the persistence of Asian beetles and a new online mental health tool for farmers. The show also touches on local sports, the history of Johnny Appleseed, and a surprising number of texts from listeners, one of whom suggests that western Minnesota should secede and join North Dakota. Timestamps: [00:00 - 05:40] A Hot Forecast and Comey's Indictment: The hosts celebrate a forecast of clear, warm weather for the weekend and introduce the main topic of the day: James Comey's indictment. ]They play a clip of Comey's response, in which he claims he is being targeted for standing up to Trump.   [05:40 - 13:00] Legal Experts Weigh In: Kevin and Alex play clips featuring legal experts who argue that Comey's indictment is a long-overdue act of accountability for lying under oath. They criticize Comey's actions, stating that his actions were responsible for the "Russiagate" hoax and that he should face serious consequences.   [13:00 - 18:30] Farm and Ranch News: Bridgette Readel discusses a new online therapy tool for farmers that has a high completion rate, noting that it is a useful resource for those in rural areas with limited access to mental health professionals. She also explains why a two-year hiatus from growing soybeans would not eliminate the pesky Asian beetles, as they have an alternative host plant.   [18:30 - 24:00] A New CEO for the Fargo-Moorhead CVB: Shirley Hughes, the new president and CEO of the Fargo-Moorhead Convention and Visitors Bureau, is introduced to the audience. She…
