My name is Daniel Roberts and i'm 20 years old. Newly wed and my wife is a piano player. I get jealous of her talent and I want to suprise her by learning electric guitar. I have no idea where to start. I've sang in jazz choirs, but I forgot everything about reading music. So I have no idea where I would start. Please someone let me know what video or lesson I should use to learn even the basics. I dont want my guitar to sit here and get dusty because I couldn't find anyplace to start Thanks for all your help and in a few months I hope to suprise my wife on our anniversary by playing a couple songs. Hope to hear from you -hex Hi Daniel! You can try with the beginners section's lesson. You have great exercises there! https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/beginner-...eo-lessons1.htm -------------------- My lessons

Hello Daniel.
You can find explanation on reading tabs here: http://guitar.about.com/library/blhowtoreadtab.htm Maybe it's best to try to learn the chords for the start. But You should ask some of the theachers here on forum. They probably knows better than me how you can start with your learning. Welcome on the site. Iggy. |

Welcome hex!
For a complete begginner I would say the power chord lesson is a good place to start! Krisotofer |

An exercise i found extremely helpful when i first started playing was to play on the low E string (the biggest one) 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 and repeat. I just alternate picked that constantly and it really helped get my technique down. Also, don't be hesitant to get live lessons with a teacher, they will be able to correct your flaws much faster. Pavel has a similar exercise in the beginning of his Alternate Picking series. 'Small finger movements and pick like hell' It's been good for reminding me that I need to get control over my left hand so the fingers don't make so big a motion. -------------------- Guitars: ESP Semi-Hollow Eclipse, 1984 Ibanez Roadstar RS440, Peavey T-60, Daisy Rock Rock Candy Custom

Hope to hear from you -hex Didn't think to mention this before, but I'll post it now anyway. There's some great advice just in the Intro section here that doesn't always repeat. There's some fantastic advice for a newbie in my Intro posting in January here. I've been trying to keep in mind that I'm supposed to suck at this for a while until I put the practice time in to get the basics down. I'm still working on getting past the "everything I do on guitar sucks" stage and it's good to remember that it's normal. -------------------- Guitars: ESP Semi-Hollow Eclipse, 1984 Ibanez Roadstar RS440, Peavey T-60, Daisy Rock Rock Candy Custom
