Hello everyone. I guess that I should tell everyone a bit about myself.
I started my musical training with a trumpet a long time ago. Never really got very good at it, but that's what happens when you're a kid and your parents force you to learn an instrument. I did pick up some basic piano from a relative (really dusty skillset). When I was a teenager I started to learn bass and played on-and-off since then. Recently I've decided to get back into playing instruments and try out guitar.
Okay, not try out, I've actually wanted to learn guitar for a while and the neighbors don't look at you like you're insane when you're playing a guitar on the porch (bass is a different story).
I'll admit to being a bit lucky in my learning. A few of my neighbors play guitar. The closest one knows a few chords and is a really good tab player. Then there's the "acoustic bigot", really good guitarist but he dislikes electric guitars (good thing I have an acoustic and an electric). He's a bit impatient though. I've also met a few players at local music stores who have been really helpful.
I hope to learn to play rythym guitar. Tempo is easy for me (bass experience helps with that), strumming is a bit a pain (used to just using two fingers or a thumb). I hope to learn as much as possible while here and I'll try to help out others with some tricks I've learned.
What is this "strumming" of which you speak?
