Been playing guitar for 7-8 years now
Friend tought me when i was first starting, then i got lessons to learn the basics.
Ive been in the Jazz Department at a Music schoo Fine Arts Center in SC and was learning from a world renound jazz musician.
Ive played alot from classical to jazz to rock to metal and all around.
Lessons are great, you can never stop learning and once you have gotten to where you cannot learn anymore, or create new, its time to quit

Yesterday... I was a little disappointed.
We did not do much.
We learned like... the next 20 seconds of the damn song...
and the one part is wayyyyyyy tooo hard...
It's mad fast and I can't do it.
So I hope I can play it by next week.

This is my 17th lesson... well... 18th in my teacher's books.

if you play guitar its easy to tell when someone messes up with distortion.

imo you need to learn about different styles to actually have a style of your own. but that takes years because they want to teach you all the beginner crap even if your already way beyond it. find a cool teacher, ive went through many most are just their for the money

go for lessons

Here's some lessons for you:

when i looked just at the start screen i thought that was herman li and was going to lol.

Dont be discouraged =] I just started playing guitar not to long ago also. I took a beginning guitar class last semester in college and it took a lot of practice for a lot of things. I always tried on my own to play the parts of songs that were very hard at a muchhhh slower way and eventually built my way up to a faster speed. I love the guitar, very beautiful instrument. Just wish I could play it a whole lot better lol. Class at time was very repetitive but I guess thats why practice makes perfect? Best of luck on that song and the class
