Hey all! Well I just joined! I have always had a guitar for as long as I can remeber. But I never really got serious about it, yeah there were brief instances here and there. But nothing I ever stuck with. I would say I know open and can play barre chords (e formation) I know 1st position minor pentatonic, but can't make it very musical. I can't seem to connect positions 2.3,4 & 5. I have tried and had varying successes. But no light bulb, oh I got it moments. Basically in a rut.

im really looking to take my playing to the next level, hence me joining. To go from a open chord strummer (I try to sing too) to riffing in between chords and walking up and down to and after chords. And I don't know other places other than open and barre chord position to play chords. I see people playing non barre chords all over the neck and aim like what?!? Add the flat fifth and all that stuff....clueless.

Suggestion on where to begin?

Hi billharrigan8,

Seems like you have some experience beneath your fingers. I think you're somewhere between Guitar fundamentals 2 and one of the experienced courses.

Check out Fundamentals 2 here: https://www.guitartricks.com/course.php?input=fundamentals2[br][br]

Rock Level 1 here: https://www.guitartricks.com/course.php?input=rock1

You might be ready for Rock Level 1 I think!

Hope that helps!

Welcome Bill!

How exciting to know you’ll be filling in some of the knowledge and skills you need to take what you already know on a rocketship ride to the moon!

This is going to be FUN.
