When you got back to guitar in 97" did you have a guitar teacher? Thanks for this video, it has helped me avoid short cuts in my learning. I am at a point where I feel as though I need a teacher as I have been self taught for the past two years. This one video has kept me on the right road.

@oaklandfla2 Yeah, I went to one for about a year. He couldn't play as good as me, but he knew things I didn't. But my biggest discoveries were from my own research. have a look at my new website if you like. it's called GuitarToolbox. You may get something following along there. :)

Em 19 years old i play guitar i don't want that to happen to me what do you recommend? What are each of the steps? If you could define them.more clearly.

@lilgrim131 If you're serious you'll go to a good guitar teacher.

umm this was a good vid BUT you didnt mention what exactly each step is except for the first 3.

This message has helped me stick to the basics more than any other message. I started about eight months ago and was tempted to take other avenues like tabs etc and came across this message. I am now sticking to learning it from the ground up and even though its time consuming I can already see the benefits. Thank you so much.

I'm not entirely sure that's what happened to me. For instance, I can play Vai's 'For the Love of God' from start to finish more or less flawlessly, and I can explain all the legato hybrid passages and the staggered rhythms, but if you asked me about the actual theory behind it, I'd mumble some stuff about lydian scales and run away (maybe). It's possible to get a long way with technical skills, but fall behind on the music theory. Ah well, I certainly have my work cut out for me :D

@lilgrim131 Its not so much what you need to buy, its more about where your planning on going with your playing. From experience I can tell you that most guitar course books are pretty much the same, once you get the basics down what you'll really need is some one on one practice with better players and good teachers, it can do wonders. When your confident, try focussing on a particular style of music that you enjoy.

more importantly relax and have fun with it, and above all, practice.

good luck

nice way to put it,

I know exactly what your talking about, i've been playing for over 10 years. seeing as I was self taught I ended up in a place where my fingers and technical skill far outshadowed my musical knowledge, I could bend it like B.B king but I couldn't even explain what a key was. I only managed to fill most of the gaps in the last few years and ever since my playings done nothing but improve.
