  • Guitar movement while standing up + hello !DateWed Aug 31, 2016 11:57 am

    Welcome aboard. Can't say I've ever had that problem, but as we say in America "Suck it up buttercup". Myself, I practice sitting and play standing.

    Perhaps I should re-phrase.
    Start with the material that's publicly available.

    I would start the free lessons. There's more than enough material in modules 1 and 2 to keep you busy several hours a day. Heck. I've spent 2 + hours just on the finger permutations alone and that's with my metronome at 140-160 bpm playing 8th and 16th notes. When you become proficient with all of that, then I would sign up for the paid lessons and get help in trouble areas and things that need further explanation.

    Thanks, spiders are not difficult, ladders just feel awkward to me.

  • Guitar Instructors, Methods, and WebsitesDateMon Aug 15, 2016 11:16 am

    I can't say much about other websites, but I do take in person lessons mostly because my improve skills suck. I don't know how one would go about learning improve skills from a website. You pretty much have to play with other people.
    What haven't liked in the past is instructors who do a quick transcription in the half hour slot and send you on your way.
    Or you get a Mel Bay book and are told to "Go work on this stuff" They do not teach.
    I like things explained, why do these chords go together? It's not a I IV V, how can that work? I went for a long time not having any idea what I was playing and got really tired of it. Find a good teacher.
    Interests? I have a huge interest in theory these days. I don't know why. but I do.

    You folks don't talk much, you must be busy practicing.
    I found Pebbers stuff about a month ago and have been working it daily. I play at least two hours a day and have been playing close to 30 years. I was amazed at how much I could not play, as well as uncovering several weaknesses in the process. For some reason ladders are giving me the most grief at the moment. But they get easier every day.
