People learn in diffrent ways. Some need to be led and some just want to wander. Both can work. I learned before there was home computing. Which ment I learned from records... remember records? I learned by listening and trying emulate what I heard. I learned guitar.

However I joined GT to learn new techniques. I hardly used the core lessons. However I have been here for a long time now. I continue to pick up skills, and I really like having an authority to ask questions. From country, to folk, to rock, to jazz, and even to classical music... it is all there. I do not want to return to learning by simply listening, it is much slower!

Start looking for skills that interest you on the index. Let those searches lead to to what you want to know. If you don't know what you want to know... I would suggest you finish the basic courses. They offer a broad scope of critical information about the art of playing guitar. The skills you seek are all here, you just have to figgure out what you want and go for it.

I would also point out that the biggest hurdle for most people wanting to play guitar is keeping up consistant practice. No matter what you decide to do... If you want to play guitar you are going to have to keep up persistant practice. There is no progress without that.... PERIOD!!!!!..... END OF DISCUSSION.
