I'm just starting out on the guitar as an adult learner. I'm 26, I played briefly as a teenager on an acoustic guitar and on a recent deployment to Afghanistan I decided I wanted to get back into it once I got home and spend the time to learn how to play well. I'm home now and bought a guitar over the weekend. I got an epiphone les paul because I love the sound of the les paul guitars and some of my favorite artists use them. After a long search and watching youtube reviews I decided to go with this site to start out. I currently am not taking any lessons in person, although my girlfriend has offered as a fellow musician to help teach me, I may take her up on it.
If anyone has any suggestions to other sites for supplemental learning in a fun way please let me know! I'm also using JustinGuitar's free tutorials and the rocksmith video game.
