Anyone Have Guitar Lessons?

Posted in guitar lessons on 09. Aug, 2010

Another guitar lessons question has come in this week. Let’s tackle it straight away:

Question: Alright, my friend wants me to join his band, and has let me borrow one of his lesser quality guitars, an amp, and obviously the case and pick. Basically, he taught me what everything on the guitar was called, the neck, headstock, frets, strings, blah blah blah.

Problem is after that, he left. Leaving me to figure out how to play by sometime in October. Is there anything that people out there can tell me? I know that a lot of guitar players (By the way, he wants me to play rhythm guitar if that helps) were self taught, but how? If there are any free online instructional videos and/or guides that someone can link me to, please do.

And if there are any people who have tips and pointers to give me, I would REALLY appreciate it. Thanks!
And no, saying blah blah blah doesn’t mean I’m not into it. I really want to learn, but I thought it would be a bit pointless to go through each piece of the guitar that I can identify, seeing as that’s not what I need to be taught.

However, think what you want.

Answer: blah blah blah, looks like you’re not really into it.

Edit: Never let anyone force you to learn to play a ‘position’. Tell him you’ll look into it and concentrate in that major but never settle down for it. Your goal is try to learn everyhing that interests you.
