Hello from Boston

Guitar hobbyist here

Hobbyin' is where it alll begins, hi spconn3 welcome to guitar tricks!

I really love to play on the worship team at church. And for friends when camping out, stuff like that

Hey Folks
I've been a member for a few years now & have been using the site all wrong. I'd play the guitar for awhile & put it down for months. I then would go on the Guitar Tricks website & try to learn the solos from Hotel California or something like that. Obviously, I couldn't play it so I would put the guitar way again.

This time I am starting at the beginning. I am learning things that I thought I already knew. My advice to anyone would be to start at the beginning. What may seem like an obvious thing has greatly improved my playing. I still can't play the solo to Hotel California yet but I will after I follow the courses from the beginning.

Welcome to a new beginning! :)

I am also the impatient type but, plunging in the deep end when learning an instrument does not work. Not for anyone. However, if you take it one step at a time and are disciplined about regular, daily practice, you can progress very fast.

So, take it step by step every day, and before you know it, you'll be in the more advanced lessons.

I've been taking lessons here for the last two weeks every day, and I'm almost through level 1 beginners. But I won't rush through this even, because I want to make sure I can change all the chords in the beginners series with ease and in time. This is crucial to playing songs at the right speed.

Anyway, you are now on track! :) Don't lay down your guitar until you are through all the lessons and you can enjoy the fruit of your labours.

Stringybark,
Thanks for the advice & encouragement. Sounds like you are doing fine. Keep up the good work.
