Hello JT welcome to GMC!
 Sorry to hear that you had a rough start with your guitar teacher man, it can certainly be demotivating. However, you managed to start to play again, and you came to GMC! Here are couple of important activities that can serve you as a guideline on the site: 1. Start by learning complete GMC lesson. Use the "Search" option in the upper right corner of the site, and search for your favorite band, technique etc.. You will find advanced search options as well, so you can choose level of the lesson. Try to pick a very easy one for a motivation boost. We do have considerable number of easy-to-do famous song lessons as well! For example, check out this lesson of mine: Wonderful Tonight - Eric Clapton. Check the main video and slower videos, and if you can tackle the whole lesson - do it! I guarantee it will be rewarding! 2. If you come up with any problems, be sure to write us in the main board forum. It is certain that you will get an answer the very same day, often in the next couple of hours! 3. Once you've mastered your first lesson, try to do some theory too! It's important to know your patterns when playing guitar. I recommend one of my older lessons:Pentatonic Workshop Level 1 - CAGED Format and Timing Exercises 4. Have fun playing guitar!

The good news is, you have come to the right place!
Welcome! I'm Todd and I do Video Chat Lessons every Saturday @5PM EST, where we take two hours and help folks get over that "hump" that's standing in the way of them getting better! There are tons of killer instructors on this site and a great community of players. You almost can't help getting better just being part of the gang here. Of course you will need to practice still Here is a link to all of the notes from every Sat Clinic we have ever done. (About 60) and each is broken down in to easy to learn chunks. There's a TON of stuff but each is a very digestible bit. Try a few! http://bit.ly/lessonnotes See you Sat! PRACTICE! Todd QUOTE (axewerks @ May 22 2011, 10:58 AM)  Hey guys I would like to introduce my self. My name is Jeremey but I go by JT and I'm a 39 going on 17 year old player. I'v been noodling around with the guitar for give or take 20 years now. My problem is after 20 odd years I still cant play! I can play the intros to a dozen or more songs but thats about as far as it goes. I tried lessons a few years ago, had a teacher come to me to teach me theory and neoclassical. I tried this for a couple of months but I felt like I was not heading in the right direction to achive my goals. My instructor did not even own a electric guitar or really no how to play with a pick. I was so frustrated and mad I gave up playing all together. I found Marcus Lavendells youtube page and thought I would give this place a try after taking some time off. My problem is I'm not sure where to start. I feel like I'm at a intermediate level with right and left hand skills but I'm a beginner at chord theory and scales ect. I'm trying to avoid setting on the edge of the bed noodling and not getting any where. Any and alll advise is appreciated. Thanks JT |
