I'm Andreas and I come from germany (hope you excuse my once a while bad english
)I joined this site very spontaneous a few days ago - and, by the way, I'm very glad that I did so.
I play guitar for something about 6 years now. I startet at the primary school where my music teacher offered guitar lessons. There I learned the first chords (anyone know the smashing song "The Cock Is Dead"? I nailed it!
)I played for about 1 year. Well, then I unfortunately put the guitar away for several years.
With about 16 I suddenly discovered the electric guitar, and it hit me very hard
I still knew the chords from the primary school and started to play again. I took lessons from 2 different private teachers, learned something about theory (not much), and something about technique (also not much I think).I canceled the private lessons completly, unless I wasn't satisfied with my technique, and the teachers I had couldn't teach me something like that, well at least I had that kind of feeling.
So I started to read books about this topic. But, unless I doubt really quick (kind of..."well, am I doing it right this kind?"), I didn't reach my goal with this way.
I also tried an online course, but it just offered cheap interaction. In fact it also didn't took me higher.
So, to come to an end, I'm already a bit frustrated, and don't really think that I can become a fast picking guitar player. But, and there it comes, after a few days as a member of this really great community, I'm motivated again.
So - Hello to you all!
best regards
Andreas
