If the guys at the open mics are jerks, they're jerks. Generally, though, most musicians are happy to share what they know. I'm most likely "beyond your skill level", but if you lived close by I'd be more than happy to show you some things to get you interested.

Talk to music teachers in your area, put your info up on Craigslist, go to your local music shop and see if there is a local billboard. Get all these numbers and e-mails and call 'em up! If you don't get at least one guitar buddy out of that, then I'm sorry my friend, you live on an island. The type with the single palm tree.

I don't know if my contact information is listed on my profile, but feel free to contact me with any questions you might have regarding guitar, motivation, or music in general.

Best regards,
