I am enjoying playing the guitar I received on Christmas Day. I wish I could attend more than one live concert/performance.
Unfortunately I suffer from claustrophobia, so attending concerts with large numbers of people isn't possible or to my liking.
I do however buy your recordings. It is possible to do so without having to like a Band or anything written or said about them.
My interest is not personal and it is my preference that it stays this way. Bye.

HA! Who would have ever thought that Tom Petty EVER played a Gibson Flying V? Even got the aviator glasses going! LOL! Damn glad that guitar isn't red.

Is this a good keytar? I am searching Goodwill stores high and low! Timbo, where are you?
Wow, it's been a while.. This thread has been dormant far too long, and even much longer since anyone has posted any fresh gear.. Seems like a good day to break the trend.. Just snagged a Peavey Rotor EX, should be here by the end of the week, will get the obligitory pics up when she gets here.. Have had a serious jones for aFloyded explorer for a while, and I have looked long enough for an Imperial to finally give up on one.. Thought it would be a nice change to go non Jackson and shortscale for this one, too.....

Just Saw Akiro Takashaki. Guitarist from Loudness. He is a guitar master. A madman of the Axe. It was amazing to see him control the instrument.

Yes, you do.. That is where the patience factors in.. If it was that easy, everyone could do it !! Don't expect to rock out Diary Of A Madman in a week or so.... Staying focused on the goal is the key, don't expect major advancements on a daily basis.. If anything, record yourself once a week so you can hear how you progress to maintain positive momentum...
You have to deal with sounding bad in the begining. That was easier to do when we were young.

Thanks guys.
I'll check out youtube and google beginner lessons and see what I come up with.
Anything to get me started.

Time is what you`ll need, and lot`s of it. Once you find that groove, you`ll figure things out easier and then it will come together nicely, but as SDB allready mentioned, time, time, time with patience , patience , patience!
Good luck

I learned by listening. I would watch the guitarist to see what sounds he would get and where his fingers were at. I loved the guitar and the sound so much that it motivateed me beyond anything to learn. I would watch glen alot. I would play along with the priest records. Black sabbath riffs are always killer. They make you smile inside when you get the changes down. It takes time. you need to be motivated no matter what. It comes down to how you manage the different techniques with your hands and body. That is a major factor on your tone. And the reasons for weilding the axe affect your phrasing.

I haven't studied guitar playing at all. When I started last December, I just googled for Judas Priest tabs (as well as looked though this sites tab section) and started playing. My friend who was played a guitar for like ten years has taught me a little bit about how to improve my finger dexterity, but nothing else. When I study a new song, I just look at the tabs from the 'net and listen to the song inquestion to get the rhythm correct. Then I'll just go through one structure over and over again until I can play it at least with the same tempo as the original. Then I'll move on to the next part, until I get the whole song nailed.
Mind you though, I can't play any solos at all, as my fingers aren't that fast yet.

Budred,listen to SDBinNY. Just Youtube it and wing it man,blah the guitar lessons....who wants another text book scale guitarist anyways right? I never took lessons but I taught myself by watching Glenn and K.K. but mainly Glenn is and always has been my favorite.
I am not as good as Glenn obviously,my solos are more like a Jimmy Page,Ace Frehley, early 70'sTony Iommi style....I can do a few fast scales ect... without sounding like them if that makes sense so I never got advanced with insane sweeps,insane scales fast as lightning ect....its funny because when I was younger thats what I was aiming for but now I wouldn't want to learn how to get "better' because it would ruin the style I have now because nowadays everybody sounds the same. As how to learn yeah just youtube it and wing it from there.
I unlike some of you guys can't afford guitar lessons. Not to mention the gas to get there.
It would be a twenty mile drive.
I also work full time with varying schedules. I was just hoping someone
would clue me in on a good place to look to start teaching myself.
Glad you're concerned enough to ask though.
