My Name is Rick and I am an IT executive at a large Fortune 10 firm, father of 3 under 4 and live in the Metro Detroit area. I have played drums since I was 7, and took up violin at 26...now, at 39, I am trying to figure out the guitar. Youtube would make me believe that it is the easiest instrument in the world to learn and that I am just a terrible beginner.
I've been noodling around on my acoustic for about 8 weeks and just picked up my electric on black friday (asking Santa for an Amplifi 75 for XMAS).
I've been working through the justinguitar.com site and have an accomplished blues guitarist buddy on call for questions and help. I think I know 10 chords or so, some faster than others, and still can't switch very quickly.
I'm really hoping that Guitartricks will accelerate my learning.
