Hey there. You remind me of myself when I first started, but honestly, the guitar is a very rewarding instrument and all it asks of you is to practice at least an hour a day of good solid practice, not noodling. If you want to get better quick, just learn a couple easy songs and take it from there. You CAN'T be a good player if you're not planning on putting the work in. All the worlds best guitar players have spent their time in the woodshed, they've played guitar for 8-12 hours a day. It really all depends on what your goals are on the instrument. I'm willing to help you with whatever u need. U can hit me up on MSN Messenger at [email]ClickHereForAGoodTime@hotmail.com[/email]. I'd be happy to help...it's all I ever seem to do anyhow. I enjoy it.
