To Late To Learn? =), - Options

[OldManPete]

Hello GMC, i´m a 40 year old guy from sweden who just bought a guitar and amplifier and i signed up to get some help and inspiration during my quest to learn to play that beautiful 6 string.. I am totally clueless when it comes to guitars, chords and scales, but i really love the electric guitar as a instrument and i really want to learn to play it.

My favourite guitarists include Gary Moore (he was my first guitar-hero) Yngwie Malmsteen, Jeff Waters, George Lynch, Dave Mustaine (really underrated guitarist/writer) and Eddie Van Halen.

Now you know roughly what kind of rockmusic i am inspired by, i am not aiming to be as good as the above mentioned ones, but i am going to try to become a descent rhythmguitar player that can write some own stuff.

See you all on the forums and prepare yourself for many questions

Hi oldman from Sweden (inte fan är du för gammal inte! Jag är snart 33!)

I started to play guitar about 1 year ago. I had played some bass earlier but not muchl. I started watching
the free ones here but pretty quick I became a member. Start off easy... do simple lessons but try
also the more difficult ones because that's how you get better. It's also very important to JUST JAM and don't
try lessons all the time... Use Addictive drums or EZDrummer and loop a 1-4 bar rock groove and just play around.
Some shiny day you will start to know your way around and hit really cool notes..
I practice pretty hard, I play mostly metal, rock and blues... Don't mind the scales and chords for starters...
Just play, have fun and concentrate on playing... more than on theory. (don't hate me instructors!)
Theory come in 2nd place for me... all the time. I still don't know a single chord on the guitar honest but I
can play pretty good after one year... wow, this post got way bigger than jag hade tänkt från början! Hahahaha!

Ses!

Jonas...

PS. Jo, så här låter jag idag på guran, detta är min senaste låt:
