The Guitar Players Thread

Nice, I dont really have the patience to learn songs all the way through.

Me neither. Thats why it took me so long to learn and a bit of encouragement. The guitar is truly one of the most frustratingly difficult but beautiful instruments in the world.

Youtube is a wonderful tool and offers alot of guitar lessons. Too bad it wasn't around when I started playing, would have been great.

Marty Shwartz is the man! I have learnt so much off his videos.

+1 for Marty

Dude explains it all great and has a wide range of songs to learn.I'm looking up his blues stuff these days after getting sick of strumming and changing coords.

Heard a dude on the radio today, some pretty damn good guitar player, he was being interviewd and he said that in his opinion a beginer should go straight to jazz and blues, after getting to know a bit of that it would all look much simpler.

I played on and off for 20 years..learned from friends, mostly. I've owned many acoustic guitars over the years. 6 and 12 strings. I played a kind of bluegrass-jazz-blues style. I learned a lotta older rock, like many Zeppelin, Who, Santana...etc.

I learned a lot of the songs in the 70's, 80's, and some 90's. Lotsa beatle songs. I liked playing some southern rock, like Charlie Daniels, Alman bro's, some funky jazzy type note progressions too.

I redid a jazzy version of summertime, and liked bluesy-jazz. I got into finger-pickin' around this time and liked Hot Tuna's guitar player, Jorma Kaukonen, and David Brombeck.

i now have a very nice limited edition jumbo body Yamaha 6 string, but i haven't played for a long time.

If you go to Marty Shwartz website, you can get a 3 day free trial of all of his videos. There is all sorts of lessons on blues and rock etc.

I'm using it right now, it is really good.

Does anybody find it hard to sing and play the guitar at the same time?
