GREAT find and thanks for posting. It is articles like like this that remind me that with time, I will learn the guitar. It can take YEARs as Tom had stated, but I will learn...
ReplyDeleteDy-sphoric...I ran across your post somewhere,maybe Amplifi3r,where you were talking about practicing once off work,and no motivation.So maybe this will at least give you a more focused and efficient practice regime,along with inspiring you to "pick it up and practice"... :-)....

Dy-sphoric (or Mike) - I have practiced two days in a row. For about 15 minutes in the morning and about 30 at night. Having a 3 year old, wife and chores, it is hard to find time for me. BUT I am working on it. Thanks for the motivation again...
ReplyDeleteHello again Mike...you know,the bottom line is...just have fun with your music journey's,period.When i teach,i teach theory mixed with song learning,this keeps it fun.So pick a "simple" song you like and work on it.Get the audio track,the tab and get started!Just listening is CRITICAL.Just listen carefully before even working on the song.Then work on one section at a time(intro,verse,chorus,bridge)Learn the chords first(section by section),then start on solo.But,just listen first and HAVE FUN....Greg
