I pretty much started out form scratch here and I'm learning pretty quickly. They seem to make it easy to understand and I don't feel like it's over my head. Also, if you get bored or tired of learning scales and such, you can jump to something more fun for a few minutes to give your mind a break. Thsi website makes it easy for me to stay motivated with all of the options you have. It may be beneficial to sit down with an actual person now and then to make sure you don't start to develop any bad habits. But, either way you can't beat this site and the instructors here!!!!
