Just bought my new guitar its a replica of a Stratocastor and it came with a little amp..sounds great..any how...what would you recommend, would you recommend having lesssons with a teacher or trying to learn on my own... :confused:

I have been playing a banjo..well reading some tabs and playing them for quiet some time but its a lot easier on the banjo, you only have 4 or five strings for a start and the neck is half the size in diameter, but i love the sound of an electric guitar and i desperately want to play at least a song...my trouble is is that i am very impatient, i know i have to stick in there and be patient...but what do you think..........cheers daz

i had a guitar teacher for 2 years and that really helped me with theory and basic techniques and song playing. but i found since i haven't had a teacher for over a yr now, i really progressed on my own. so there are advantages and disadvantages to having a teacher and if u have been playing banjo, and ure impatient then sites like this are a good way to improve as a guitarist
My amp is a weapon of mas DISTORTION!!!!

Obviously to have a teacher is good. But there are books for such things that can replicate but not replace positive feedback but some on us of finacially inert.
WWSD? What would stevie do?

I agree, a teacher is preferable but not necessary.
Blues is easy to play, but hard to feel.

Hi,
I have had a guitar teacher for about 4 months now, and find it really useful, especially if you have any problems as there is someone experienced to help.
I also buy tutorial books and DVD's from e-bay which again are worth their weight.
I live in Nottingham and have my lessons at Wayne's Guitar Shack on Carlton Hill in Nottingham.
Regards,
Antony
