Hello you are in the right place..Since you have the basics of technique I think you should really check out the theory to understand basics (chords etc)..
I would suggest first checking Andrew's theory lessons by following this topic https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...t=0&start=0 - in which all lessons are structured in order and by level... After that I would suggest some of Kris's 101 lessons like : https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/how-to-use-a-metronome.htm https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/beginner-...nner-scales.htm https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/how-to-practice-guitar.htm After that you can check out lesson series (they are structured!) for certain topics like Chords , Pentatonic Soloing its easy to chose there : https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/lesson-series.htm Hope this helps! If you have any more certain topics you would like to cover and need lessons for it please ask !

QUOTE (Dreamcatcher @ Jan 2 2009, 04:50 PM)  1. Some structure like start here do this lesson that lesson..so on and so forth. 2. learn how to read these diagrams so I can understand what all the colored circles mean and where they are pointing to. 3. learn the patterns in such a way I can visualize them (if Possible) These questions are too often asked here on the forums, so for all, I have made a small beginner program to follow, bare with me: SESSION 1________________________________________________________________________________ Here are several simple lesson that you should definitely check out. It's Andrew's First Steps series. You may already know things from them, but it is definitely a good to watch them: First Steps 1 First Steps 2 First two lessons above are IMO for people who are taking guitars for the first time in their hands, so be sure to check them out if you are just getting to play the guitar. First Steps 3 First Steps 4 First Steps 5 First Steps 6 These 4 lessons are essential for every beginner player to watch, as they contain a lot of interesting and helpful information about things every player should know. SESSION 2________________________________________________________________________________ If you don't know how to tune or restring the guitar, or use a metronome, definitely check out: GUITAR TUNING TUTORIAL GUITAR RESTRINGING TUTORIAL (no floyd rose tremolo covered yet) USING A METRONOME SESSION 3________________________________________________________________________________ When you finish with this basic learning you can warm up your hands with these lessons: Warming Up With Marcus Siepen Right hand Basics SESSION 4 - THEORY___________________________________________________________________________ At this time every player should be aware that guitar playing should be definitely backed up with some knowledge, or else how can we know what we are doing! So in parallel with every video lesson, let's read some of great Andrew's theory lessons here on GMC. For starters, let's read these 3 great articles to help you get to know theory basics and reading music and diagrams for guitar. Theory Basics For Guitar Reading Music - Tabs Reading Scale Diagrams SESSION 5________________________________________________________________________________ After reading some theory, now it's time to learn the pentatonic scale. We have 2 assignments for this session - 1 article and 1 big series! Theory Article 1 - Minor Pentatonic Lesson 1 - Pentatonic Workshop Series - Video Lesson Series to help you master the pentatonics SESSION 6________________________________________________________________________________ In this session, our assignment is to read 3 great theory articles and then tackle 2 basic power chord lessons: Theory Article 1 - Degrees of the scale Theory Article 2 - Intervals Theory Article 3 - Power Chords Lesson 1 - Beginner Power Chords Lesson 2 - Smoke On The Water SESSION 7________________________________________________________________________________ In session 7, we are slowly starting to cover the chords as well. We have one theory article and several basic chordal lessons: Article 1 - Intervals, Chords, Triads and Harmonies Lesson 1 - Chord Basics Lesson 2 - Barre Triads Lesson 3 - Open Chords Strumming Lesson 4 - Pop Strumming SESSION 8 - THEORY___________________________________________________________________________ In this session we will cover some more theory articles to prepare ourselves for the future assignments. I suggest you go through them as they are very essential! Article 1 - Circle of Fifths Article 2 - Chords For Scales Article 3 - CAGED, Part 1 Article 4 - CAGED, Part 2 SESSION 9________________________________________________________________________________ In this session we will cover some basic modes knowledge, including one article about explaining modes and some lesson exercises: Article 1 - Modes - Introduction Article 2 - Modes - The Theory Lesson 1 - Modes - 3 note per string patterns - Alternate Picking Lesson 2 - Learning the modes Lesson 3 - Seven Strings Modes 3-Notes Lesson 4 - Modal Solo That's it for now!

I would also strongly suggest to go for the MTP program, it will be an excellent way to structure your progress through uploading regularly video's of lessons given by the mentors
