I'm novice guitar player who picked up a guitar in my teens (early 90's, pre internet) and never really developed the drive to learn and understand the instrument. After all, there were girls to chase! I finally convinced my wife to let me give it another go in August of last year and found guitar tricks a couple of weeks after i started. I signed up for the free trial and dived into Lisa's fundamentals course and felt....bored? I want to be clear here, that this is in no way a criticism of Lisa's course. It's fantastic and has a wealth of great information that i really didn't absorb properly. I didn't renew after my 14 day trial and have been trying to teach myself via tablature and youtube videos. After wading through bad tab and video after bad tab and video it occured to me that this stuff was all already available in high quality, with video lessons and great instruction right here at guitartricks.com!! I mde a vow that the next time there was a $99 a year promotion i would take advantage of it. Thankfully i received an email yesterday morning about the Blues promotion and the aforementioned $99 annual cost and signed right up. I'm determined to go in this time with more of a clear and receptive attitude and mind. I picked up right where i left off on Lisa's course this evening and feel like i've been reinvigorated. I've been trying to play songs without the proper technique and fundamentals down and it's been slow going. I'm extremely excited to take this next year and try and develop my playing. Lisa, thank you again for your dedication and clear instruction on some of the most important things i'm going to learn about playing this pickin' fiddle of mine.
