I'm looking for somewhere to take Guitar lessons in or around carrollton, smithfield, by the James river bridge. If you know any where post them up.

 

or in Newport news close to bridge.

 

teach yourself, take lessons after you get decent

 

I'm trying to teach my self, but everyone i talked to told me they learned more in a couple of lessons than they learned in months of doing it themselves

 

i taught myself and im better than my bro and he took lessons

 

I taught myself.

All with tabs, sounds. Etc. I've been playing for around 3 months, and I'm picking it up well.


Learned dust in the wind tonight. Thats a hella hard song.

 

Just try to learn the major chords (A-G) then you should be able to pick up songs pretty easily. Look at artists like Jack Johnson or anyone that does alot of acoustic stuff (like Hootie & the Blowfish, cheesy songs but easy to learn), that'll help you get that basics down. Then just build on that. There's not much an instructor can tell you that you won't get from a book (for basics anyway).

 

i am glad i found this thread, i am thinking about buying a guitar and learning as well.

 

same, except VW gave me one, probably sucks, but free is free

 

i am looking at the ibanez starter pack from guitar center. $240 for the guitar, amp and all needed accesories
