as per my comment on Joebloggs post im really itching to get learning the guitar but i dont really know where to start......im not a die hard musical enthusiast so i appreciate allot of different stuff............i wouldnt be into thrash metal or anything im more into keeping it chilled and relaxed.........and heres the thing....ive got a real nice bass guitar...a hudson pb 9 performance bass, amp etc........i had a bass when i was a teenager & indie fever was going on so i kinda followed on from that but i just cant get enthusiastic enough to get into it.....bass is more of a support role and in hindsight id much prefer to be strumming away on an accoustic or learning some evil licks.
I dont really want to learn via one of those books....you know the type where you get a cd...they bore the shit outta me......i've got an old accoustic guitar up in the attic that i can get started on to see if i can prove worthy of something better, needs some strings and wont be that good but neither will i so it will do for now.
But whats the best way to start as in should i stick to either rhythym or lead..or can i mix it up while learning...........do i have to learn scales first or can i just learn the chords and crack on a bit.
Exup says i should learn the blues.......i like blues......but are there any other suggestions as styles or artists that i can look up.....im thinking shit like credence clear water revival and the usual famous stuff but there is undoubtedly a whole world of artists ive never even heard of considered. I actually like allot of sheryl crow stuff.
Is it a good idea to get some lessons.....i often wonder what the foc they can teach you and no ammount of lessons will make your fingers contorted properly like good old fashioned practice surely
Any other general suggestions
Im just really getting focced off with evening telly and i sit listening to it every night and getting pissed off while generally wasting time mooching various websites...."the thrill is gone
" [size=78%]and im thinking why not get into the guitar instead, especially now in the winter when theres little else to get up to apart from get pissed........get pissed and play guitar sounds better.[/size]
Cheers
