I'm Dave

Been at this for about 2 months now. I used to play basic guitar chords a long time ago and decided to start again and learn more.
First I bought a uke. Then I sold that and bought a 3/4 size yamaha classical guitar. I just ordered a full size Mitchell acoustic electric because I think that will be better for me to learn on since I like country, rock, and blues. I'm expecting to get it around next Tuesday.

The lessons seem well organized. I'm not sure whether to try and master one lesson at a time or work on several at a time. Still experimenting.

Any suggestions for this beginner will be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Dave - welcome!!

We picked up a Mitchell acoustic guitar (3/4) for my daughter to learn on. For the money, it is a gorgeous well made guitar with good action. I was shocked at the quality binding and gorgeous finish. My daughter was drawn straight to it. Assuming the larger ones are built just as well, you should be pleased with it.

If you get stuck on a lesson, it's OK to move on but keep working on the skill you need to work on. There is repetition as you move forward, so whatever you were struggling with will likely come up again.

The key I find is to keep moving forward. Otherwise you get bored and frustrated with something that is supposed to be fun!

Welcome, Dave!!
So glad you are with us - Lisa

Hi Dave!

Hi Dave, I've played a Mitchell before and liked it. There's nothing like getting a new guitar!

If you're starting out it's really helpful to follow a course like Guitar Fundamentals, but there's nothing wrong with bouncing around to find other lessons that interest you too, it's good for motivation. But sticking to a course while you do that will help you progress with a solid foundation and that really makes a difference.
