hey guys,
I'm new here, and this place looks pretty awesome. But anywayserz, heres what I need help with, I didn't know where to place this but I thought this would be the best spot. I've been playing both electric and acoustic guitar for about 2-3 years now, and have just taken up the ukulele. My big problem is, I can play just about any song if you give me the tab for it, and I can create some stuff on my own. Its just that I don't really know any music theory. I don't know notes, I don't know scales, and I don't know keys or any of that jazz. I would like to figure out modes and scales and stuff that way I can actually do a real solo, instead of just playing random notes that sound good together. I want to be able to create songs that have a backbone to them, like in a certain key and stuff...I was just wondering if anyone could offer me advice in learning that kind of stuff, should I take lessons, what should I do, I'm pretty much in a rutt right now. I'm getting bored of playing old stuff, when I know there is so much to guitar and I just need to know where to get the information and learn it. If anyone could again, offer me any advice I would greatly appreciate it.
Thx,
Aaron

Read. This website, other websites, books, everything. Read it over and over. Chances are you won't understand a bit of it on your first time, but just allow yourself to digest what you read and if you don't understand something, just ask questions and you'll be miles ahead in no time.
