My name is Dianna and I took a few lessons in high school back in 1983 and just had a hankering to pick up a guitar again.  My husband bought me a pretty nice used guitar for my birthday a few years ago and now have paid for a membership in Guitar Tricks.


My goal:


Learn A Horse With No Name by America.

Hey! I'm also from Idaho. Welcome and hope you learn the song you want!


Green day, Blink-182, Good Charlotte, Simple Plan, and Falling In Reverse. The five best bands of all time.

What aspects of playing A Horse With No Name are you most excited to master, its iconic strumming pattern, chord transitions, or the overall feel of the song?

Welcome, Dianna! (magggs10)


Congrats on getting out that guitar, and on joining GuitarTricks for the BEST lessons! We are so glad you are here. 


'Horse With No Name" used to be one of my favorite songs to teach to beginners when I was teaching in-person guitar lessons some years ago. 


Great choice!


Once again, welcome - and have fun!
