There may be players that are different than me and experts in other areas that don't interest me but I'll not be "deaned." lol If you say you learned to rock classical jams finger-style before you learned "rhythm playing" then all I can say I don't believe you or in the alternative that makes no sense.

First, Tom: I stand corrected. Second, many guitar players learn to play with their fingers before ever picking up a pick and strumming. I'm not sure what's so hard to understand about that. It's not the norm for people just grabbing their first $100 Ibanez and looking to play Free Falling but it is not as uncommon as you might think. Edited March 8, 2011 by Peace
TheMadCap Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 tab sites are hit and miss. May of them recycle the same stuff between them, and if you get one that is wrong, it gets spread around. I have a few that I really like to use: http://membres.multimania.fr/phyzik/Musique/ this has some Zeppelin, Beatles, Floyd, Bowie, Radiohead, but be WARNED. It is full of popups which is quite annoying. http://www.cygnusproductions.com/rtp/ the Rush Tablature Project - no explaination neccessary. Recently, I have been using this: http://www.songsterr.com/ It is free, but for 10 bucks a month you get lots of other very useful features like Print function, zoom, repeat, speed, etc. Most of em are pretty good, but they are written by users so some are crappy. I would also agree that youtube is a great source for lessons, I have learned tons of songs that way. Pretty much every song you can think of is being played by someone on there. Good luck Pooj...

I mean, yea....it's not the only way it happens. I'll give you that. But c'mon now...I've seen countless people I know get into it...I see all the people at local music stores...I've seen the way people who teach lessons work...strumming Free Falling on your imitation strat is the way to start! lol

You're a self-proclaimed world-class expert in guitar teaching who doesn't know that quite a few people actually do learn finger-picking before anything else...and I'm retarded? Kid, you need to get out more.

I always recommend at least a couple of lessons with a professional, just to make sure you don't "learn" any bad habits that you will have to "unlearn" if you want to get really good. Prepare for sore fingertips for a while!

The Poojer Posted December 27, 2012 Author Posted December 27, 2012 Anyone familiar with dangerousguitar.com for online instructions? There are some good reviews...just got a groupon deal might take advantage of.

The Poojer Posted December 27, 2012 Author Posted December 27, 2012 i just got the guitar back from my son...and i want to get him involved in lessons as well...he and i are separated by 4.5 hours so I can't just sign him up with a local(to me) instructor. I have a very basic understanding of the guitar...i need lessons though. On 12/27/2012 at 1:17 PM, Beerball said: So, between March 6, 2011 and today what have you learned?

I love that commercial because of the kid. His movement and intonation as he loosens up his arm are perfect.
