Just started playing guitar about 1.5yrs ago. So still very much a beginner.
My goal at this point is to get good enough to cover the songs I like which includes just about everything except country. So anything from 80s,90s to Indie to Rock to Metal. Really just love playing and the whole process of learning to play.
My primary learning environment has been the game Rocksmith. Can't speak highly enough about that game. Honestly wish I could find an instructor that was familiar with it. I think it has fantastic teaching potential.
I try to play everyday for at least an hour. I notice progress but it's frustratingly slow especially as a I get better.
I love technology so I recently picked up a Variax and love how you can change the tuning at the turn of a dial. Comes in really handy when you want to play songs in Rocksmith in Eb.
One of the things that drew me to the site was the Beginner Solo in D. If I could develop my skills to be able to play that I think I would be happy. Well at least for a little while
Cheers
