GUITAR PLAYING FOR ADULT LEARNERS Three Grown-up rules 成人吉他学习者的三条成长规则
Throughout my life as teacher I have met and encouraged two types of adult learners. There are the children who take up a musical instrument,give up after a few years and come back to learning in adult life,and then there are those who never played as children and start to learn as adults. 回想我的教学生涯，我教育和鼓励过两种类型的成人吉他学习者。一类是小孩的时候学过，放弃几年后，又重新捡起来的成年学习者，还有一类是以前从来没学过的成年学习者。
Returning to play after many years does not mean starting all over again.Deep in your mind and in your finger is a memory of your initial learning. Now as an adult learner you have the possibility to use your mature intelligence to pick up from where you left off and continue to build. 放弃多年后，又开始学习的人，不是什么都从新开始，初学时的记忆深深存在于他们的手指和脑子里。现在开始重学起来的成年人，有可能用他们成人的智力去重建那些以前丢掉的东西。
Starting to play from scratch as an adult is a different experience,especially if you have never played a musical instrument. But here too you have the advantage of a mature intelligence at your service. 成年后重学一样技能是一种很不寻常的经历，特别是那些如果从来没有演奏过一样乐器。这两种人，现在的优势就是有了成年人的智力。
For adult re-learners and beginners I would suggest bearing in mind the following: 对于这两种类型的成年学习者，我有如下关于脑子里观念的建议：
Why are you doing? 1、你为什么要学？ Be clear about what you are trying to achieve,since you are extremely unlikely to become a virtuoso! 搞清楚你想弹成什么样？因为你不太可能成为一个演奏家！
What you can achieve? 2、你能达到什么水平？
You can become a fine musician and a good player. 你可以成为一个很好的音乐家和一个不错的演奏者。
How you could feel? 3、你能感受到什么？ Your music and playing could and should give you a lot of happiness, relaxation and fulfillment. 你演奏的音乐，能给你带来很多快乐、放松、和满足。
下面具体说说：
1、 Why are you doing? 你为什么要学？ Just because you can’t get your fingers round all the pieces you would like to play doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy having a go and get lots of it. Fred James, a great friend to me and my mentor when I was sixteen years old said something to me which I have grown to admire.’If something is worth doing,it is worth doing badly.’ This does not mean that you don’t try to play as well as you can.but it does help you to understand your limitations and yet appreciate and cherish the fine piece of music you are trying to play. 一首你非常喜欢曲子，但你的手指头就是搞不定，并不意味着你不能不能去弹，不能欣赏并从中得到很多东西。Fred James，我的导师和我的好朋友，在我十六岁的时候，我觉得很迷茫的时候，告诉我一些到我成长后我还非常赞赏的话。“如果什么事儿值得做，那已经很不值得了。” 那并不意味着你不需要尽你自己的可能把曲子弹好。而是帮助你明白自己的薄弱点，然后感谢和赞赏你想弹（而搞不定）的这首曲子。
2、What you can achieve 你能达到什么水平？
With your curiosity ,patience and determination can help you understand,analyse and appreciate music. This will help you play more musically. You can improve your reading skills so you can play in small ensembles and guitar orchestras. You could even turn your hand to arranging and composing your own pieces. 用你的好奇心、耐心和决心，去分析和欣赏音乐。这会帮助你弹得更有音乐性。你可以提高识谱能力，你可以弹些重奏和吉他室内乐。你甚至可以着手自己编曲或者创作自己的音乐。
3、How you could feel 你能感受到什么？
A sense of fulfillment and completion should come with you developing your playing skills. This sense may have nothing to do with actually becoming a good guitarist,but everything to do with enquiring and exploring through your guitar-playing that great universe-music itself. This has been my rough guide guitar playing for adult learners. 满足感和完成度会随着你演奏技巧的提高而来。这个感觉和成为一名演奏家没任何关系。这个感觉的与日俱增，是和你通过使用吉他演奏那些伟大音乐，去探索和搜寻有着密切关系的。 这就是我对那些成人吉他学习者提供的指导。
