Ill never forget day one of my guitar lesson. I walked in knowing just barley how to hold my guitar to walking out knowing the major chords and barley getting out "wild thing".

Its been years since that day. And ill go 6 months of playing it here and there then 2 years in the closet. I still remeber most of mu blues scales
That i would have to practice over and over. Looking back i see what they were for now. I was to young to take it to serious.

I always enjoyed knowing a little bit on the guitar. Going to parties seeing a guitar and strumming out green days "time of your life" to impress some chick i was trying to bang. Worked most the time.

Props to you hes for trying to spread the music love. If more people knew a few chords the world would be a better place.

Now what are your thoughts on my favorite band.....311. HINT. There IS a correct answer here.

Well, what I do is I usually pick up songs I like, and try to learn some parts of it. I believe I told you I was learning the intro of Enter Sandman? yeah something like that. I play Rock Band 3 though, does that help? I think it's helping loosen up my fingers. Also, I'll be taking my guitar to school. That should help a bit.

Well. "Rock Band" for guitar practice is essentially the same thing as Practicing Escrima with Soul Calibur. Why do I say this? It just doesn't apply. There's to many bases to be touched that you can't get without the actual thing.

think of it as learning how to play Soul Calibur in IV online.
It just doesn't work.
 
Suggested Resources

Because I'm really limited in illustrative resources, here are some free sites that help you learn guitar.
Listed also are books I find to be the best use of my even more limited money.


www.justinguitar.com - If you have the money, be sure to donate. This is a great guy who does great work.

www.musiciansfriend.com - Shopping. Great site!

www.flamencoclassguitar.com -If you have the money, be sure to donate. This is a great guy who does great work as well.

"The Guitar Grimoire"-Adam Kadmon

"Diatonic Major and Minor Scales" - Andres Segovia

"The Real Book" -Hal Leonard

Anything by Mel Bay; my personal favorite is "Mastering the Guitar"


"The Guitar Cookbook"- Jesse Gress

NOT "The GFA International Guitarist Cook book"

"Gig bag books" -My personal favorite is "Guitar Complete" Its great when you're in the midst of learning a new song and you need to improvise. Also BOMB in Jam sessions!

EDIT: If any of you fellows found a great book, Quote this post and let me know! Let's all try to help out our fellow friendos "get laid" learning guitar. lol
