And the forum is a very good support group as there are people in the same boat as you too 16:46:39 Boundary Layer: :) 16:46:43 rokchik: Plus the more experienced guys are a great help 16:47:05 Boundary Layer: ya 16:47:05 rokchik: There is sooooo much info on the forum 16:47:16 Boundary Layer: (this chat window is soo slow to post...) 16:47:45 rokchik: You've only been playing for a little while right? 16:47:57 Boundary Layer: the theory section seems pretty solid - or like it will be once Andrew fills in the gaps 16:48:07 GuitarDude: hi everyone 16:48:08 Boundary Layer: ^1 month, almost to the day 16:48:18 Boundary Layer: ahoy 16:48:32 rokchik: The theory section is awesome....Andrew is very helpful too for questions 16:49:09 rokchik: hey guitardude 16:49:17 Boundary Layer: was thinking it'd be cool if they were done as podcasts (noticed several suggestions that there should be vids) 16:49:28 Boundary Layer: --at least for the ones requiring little in the way of visual aid 16:49:36 rokchik: yeah...I think its being looked into 16:50:17 rokchik: but I find the theory lessons pretty easy to follow. They are very well written...and Kaneda usually has some great additional info posted too 16:51:36 Boundary Layer: ya, easy read, just that i think i'd much rather be playing (poorly) a new riff, rather than reading 16:51:57 Boundary Layer: could listen to a podcast while I'm away from the guitar for whatever reason 16:52:47 rokchik: just some advise...when I got on here I was really overwlmed by the amount of content and there is even more now....stick with the lesson set up Kris has in the begginner section and maybe do some theory and you will be on your way. 16:53:28 rokchik: may seem boring or mundain but it will help alot for the future lessons 16:54:07 rokchik: podcast would be cool. 16:54:12 GuitarDude: ya 16:54:40 Boundary Layer: they do a get a bit tedious - i started into the 'other beginner stuff from the vault' that he highlighted on the beginner page, just for a change of pace 16:55:01 Boundary Layer: can only do the pentatonic scale for so long before i get tired of it 16:55:43 rokchik: it's good to switch it up to keep yourself interested..i found that anyways. 16:55:49 Boundary Layer: but ya, certainly will keep practicing those exercises. I need quite a bit of work on the beginner licks one 16:56:19 rokchik: the begginer section is the foundation for a lot of the other lessons so it is good to stick with it 16:56:27 GuitarDude: i would like a guitar slaping lesson =P 16:56:36 Boundary Layer: rather than play a clear note, i quite effectively mute the strings with my left hand instead, when i try to pick up the pace :D 16:56:54 rokchik: But you have to develope what works for you....I'm just trying to give you some starting points....sorry if sounds kinda naggy 16:57:10 Boundary Layer: no, not at all 16:57:10 Boundary Layer: appreciated 16:57:47 GuitarDude: for how long have you been playing rokchik? 16:57:54 rokchik: cool...well I don't mean to cut it short but I have to in for some OT.
