Hi all,

I bought a guitar about a month ago. I have always enjoyed rock music ( especially Michael Romeo and Jeff Loomis!) and I need a new hobby to occupy my mind as I have just finished an intensive university course. I decided to get a guitar and have a go and relax.

I don't suppose I should say this but I Don't think I can will get to a very high standard my hands are not very big or flexible. But I'll see what I can do. I have tried the F chord and I see what a challenge I'm in for (to do a Barre chord is a distant dream for me at the moment). Anyway my aim is to enjoy my new hobby and try to be the best I can.

I am working on some beginners chords and the A minor pentatonic scale to see if I can free up my fingers. I will look at learning some basic songs after a month or so on this. I would appreciate some of you more advanced player's suggestions on the best way forward and some recommended easy to play songs available on this site.

All the best and talk to you soon.

Welcome to GMC smile.gif And about where to start i think most people (i did) started by just using chords then learn some simple songs and get a good alternate picking technique.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the welcome. GMC is a good site I never been on a site with so little abuse and disrespect on a forum. Perhaps its because everyone on the forum has the same interest.

Thanks
