Just wanna say that I love this place...

Seriously. I'm 2 months in and rounding the corner on completing my Guitar Fundamentals 2 course. I look back to when I was 14 and my parents bought me a shiny new guitar and guitar lessons, and I laugh at the fact that I know 10x more now after only 2 months than I did after about a year of lessons back then.

I'm 30 now so attention and patience are definitely a greater factor working for me, but these lessons are so clear and well explained that it all just makes sense. Plus, if I have a question I can just replay the video or post it up in here.

I'm glad I found GuitarTricks.com. Next step... the purchase of a better guitar!

Hi tmoore. Yeah, pretty funny how that works, huh? :) Lots of good people here who will do their absolute best to help you along. Welcome and we'll see you around the boards. Happy playing!

Same feeling here. What's I love even more is that I am actually enjoying the learning process. It is not a chore or something I have to fit into a busy school schedule. I come home from work, spend some time with the family then retreat to the office for guitar time. It really is a hobby now. I even find theory incredibly interesting.

I wish there would have been something like this site, when I was learning to play. It would've saved so much time, had to figure it all out on my own. When I was learning, it was mostly records, not even CDS, you might get lucky enough to catch a great performance on TV.

Roy Clark on Hee Haw, or Don Rich playing with Buck Owens. Jerry Reed, and Chet Atkins, and a little Austin City Limits. Many jam sessions at bluegrass festivals, and other places too.

When I come up with my lessons I try to think of what I wish someone would have taken a few minutes to show me, and that's what I try to teach. You can go much further in a shorter time, if you don't have to figure it all out yourself. Looking back now, I wouldn't change the way I learned it, but it would have been much easier with GT around.

I'm still trying to figure out some of this computer stuff, been talking about figuring out myspace, facebook, and twitter. I'm getting there, but it's quite a process, lol. Have a good one, and let us know if we can do anything to help.

Damn, you sound exactly like me.

This is a good place to learn.

Cheers!
