Hellooooooo!!!!!

Okay, new here and looking to help myself learn guitar! Have been at it for a very short time, I have books, magazines and am hoping this will help too! Maybe even get some lessons in time! So just thought I would say hello!

Helloooooooooo to you to.
If you want to teach yourself the guitar, this sure is the site to get you on your way. Its got tons of licks and excersises man. I visit this site all the time. Theres always somethig new to learn plus I've posted a few of my own lessons. (check em out if you wanna learn some theory)

Welcome, Dhampir!

Browse through the Tricks section, as well as the Guitar Basics threads. I'm sure we can get you feeling better than your signature implies :)

Thank you for the words of encouragement. I am trying so hard. It is hard sometimes and I have owned a guitar for years and never really taken it seriously. I used to pick it up and then give up after a day cos there was no improvment. But now i am older and know that perserverance is the key. I can play the intro to sweet child of mine, all of Mama said by metallica and most of hero of the day! But now I am gonna pretend I know nothing and start from scratch! But cheers again. Its nice to have support!

Welcome pal :cool:

Keep all those magazines and the CD's that come with them (if any) Magazines have proven invaluable to me when learning new things....especially 'Guitarist'....if you live in england....if you dont, try their web page.

And dont pretend you know nothing, build on whatever you can do. Mama Said's a good one for the beginner. The last band I was with always used it to soundcheck before gigs coz its easy to warm up those fingers.

wazzup dhampir. if i were you id start taking lessons pretty soon. they help me a lot.

also, a word of advice-
dont click that "Hit the target and win a free gift" thing.
Its kinda annoying.

Also, start yourself off now and train yourself to learn material from CD's (or LP's as they were once known).
There's no better teacher than the experts who make records...plus it developes your ability to learn my ear.
(comes in majorly handy when you join a band and have to learn a ton of cover tunes).
Before you know it, you'll be able to tell what notes and chords are being played just by listening to em.

hey schmange, congrats on 100000 hits or whatever. :D
