Just wanted to drop in and say 'hello!'. I just joined the site. I guess I would be considered an 'intermediate' player. I've been playing for about 21 years, but I've only had about 6 months worth of lessons - so I don't know alot of theory, etc. I don't really have the time or money right now for a regular guitar teacher, so I thought this might be the next best thing. It looks like one of the best guitar lesson sites out there! I'm looking forward to learning from the site.

My only question is: Are there any actual 'lesson plans' here where you can progress through lessons (ie, from beginner to intermediate, intermediate to advanced) or is it all basically 'pick and choose'?

I look forward to joining in the discussion!

Welcome aboard, Dave! Any questions, you just ask. We've got all the answers! :)

Unfortunately, I do not have the answer to your question about lessons, as I am not a High Bandwidth subscriber. But someone will. You wait and see.

It's kinda both. You can sort each instructors lessons by style, difficulty and focus by using the pull down menus. Each instructor also composes their own tutorials that combine a number of similar lessons into a structure you can follow. You can also use the search feature on the main page to find just about anything you want. There's also a beginners guide: http://www.guitartricks.com/guide.php
...that takes you through several levels of difficulty to get you started.

Basically I'd just advise you to jump in and start looking around. There's probably enough lessons on the site to keep you busy for the next 20 years or so, but if you want something specific, request it in the Full Access forum area and eventually one of the instructors will get around to it.

Thanks for all the welcomes!

jeffhx - this thread was my first post here. Though I do hang out at the TDPRI (Telecaster forum) and FDP (Fender forum) using the same screen name. Maybe you saw me there?
