I guess I'm wondering, where do I begin? I have some music history, I used to play clairinet, flute, and drums...so, all I would really need is a little refresher to read sheet music. I guess the question is, should I start with that? or learn tabs instead?
I pretty much will be self teaching, lessons are not in my budget at the moment, but I do have some friends in the family that play guitar that I could go to for advice once a month or so...but they don't know sheet music (just tabs) so they can really only offer playing tips & such.
And can someone explain what a chord is, I'm reading up all I can on the guitar & I'm coming up with all these new terms that are really making me doubt I'll ever be able to play this instrument.
Can you recommend and good self-teaching books?
Anyone have any self-taught success stories?
Sorry for all the questions, I've been trying to research all day & now I think I'm more confused lol. Thanks in advance.
