Learning the Guitar

[axlgod]

It’s clichè, but practice, practice, practice.

I’ve been playing for a few years & I think I’m ok ish...until I see other players on YouTube.

pentatonic, arpeggios, hammer on, hammer off, divebombing, slides......yeah, fuck that.

just play along to a song you enjoy.
I recently learned how to play ‘I Disagree’ by Poppy (love her), & the tuning was in C.
That would normally be ok, but when you’ve got a Floyd Rose bridge, it was a fucker..& I mean, a complete bastard to tune

I got there in the end though.....don’t give up!

Agreed. Messed about with 'man if constant sorrow` for ages...i like to find me own way...hit you tube and found that if you tune top E to F and capo the third fret then it all falls in,

Feel like I’ve lost a friend. James James (formerly Privettricker) has packed it in. The best, most friendly, guitar channel tutor on the internet. Gutted. Hundreds and hundreds of lessons there for any intermediate level players and a fair few that beginners could master

still has me in fits of laughter.. but the truth is you either got or not

Hello, just seeing if anyone else started late ( I’m 41 ) or if anyone who plays has any good tips advice on beginners ?

I have never played a note of anything in my life :)

Have you got the intro to Thunderstruck nailed yet? It's a piece of piss....
