Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste...lol...Hello all.. I stumbled on your site and had to become a member. I have been playing my guitar for about 8 months. The internet has been has been my instructor and I have had moderate success. I downloaded all of the major, minor, barred,seventh cords and a few songs and went from there. Now I can play about 60 songs...well I can play the rythem for about 60 songs but I am having trouble with scales and playing lead, but I plug away everyday trying to get better. I have found that I have greater success playing good ole country and old rock-n-roll with my limited rythem playing ability. If anybody has any tips or practice techniques that would help me advance, I would greatly appreciate them.
