Hello Everyone!
I am new to Guitar Tricks and this is my 1st post.
I am not "new" as far as guitar playing goes, but I am new to taking lessons.
I've been playing for personal enjoyment for many yrs, I simply love everything about guitars.
I worked for Fender for a short period, and have built my own electric Guitars, and I have a nice Carvin acoustic.
I finally decided to take lessons out of simple frustration, lol!
After signing up, I decided to find a starting place.. ( I'm not a beginner, but where am I actually??) and immediately got myself lost!
I've found I'm having difficulty categorizing exactly what I know, and what I don't know (the "don't know" list is far longer than the "Know" list, lol!)
So, what I've decided to do is to go through each lesson, from the beginning, page by page, and find/work on the stuff I should know.
I think the best advice for someone new to the guitar would be to learn the basics well, you'll go father and have more fun with a strong foundation under you.
Meanwhile... I'm still practicing! ~ Puck
