Learning Guitar

[BinFrog]

Keep learning. I wish I had time to learn more these days, but usually when I have time to play guitar I just want to jam out for an hour.

After playing drums since I was a kid last Saturday I purchased my first guitar (acoustic). I figure the best way to learn is to take lessons and took my first lesson the other day.

Boy is this a tough instrument compared to a guitar. You need to be so precise! I find it very hard not to touch the string I am not supposed to

I am 34 and FINALLY pushed myself to learn guitar after wanting to know how to play for the past 15 years or so. As a massive music fan who enjoys listening to almost anything and love the feeling I get from hearing a great song, I had always wanted to learn, but never, ever acted on it. Until I casually mentioned to my wife in the fall that I had decided that I wanted to learn guitar and she bought me an acoustic one for Xmas.

I have only been playing for about 3 months but feel I have come a long way in that time . . . I am anxious to learn more and develop, but it most certainly seems a daunting task...

I recommend checking out his YT channel. I think it's been mentioned ad nauseum, but I'll plug it once more! He has some great tips/exercises/advice for beginners and I have found it helpful in the short time I have been playing:
