Any experienced guitar players have advice on how to learn better?
I played very little in highschool and now, 15 years later, I have the urge to go back to it. I've been playing for an hour or so most days for the last month which I know isn't a lot but lets be honest, it's just for my own enjoyment, I have no illusions of being a middle aged rock star.
Anyway I was wondering if people had any advice, good resources, sheet music that isn't garbage?
In my position would you go the self taught route or is it really important to have a tutor? I'm particularly concerned about picking up bad technique and then practicing that, I feel like that was a big part of why I gave up in the first place - fucking up the same things no matter how many times I did them because I learned them wrong.
Thanks all.
Friend of The Devil is a fantastic example of what you’re talking about playing with a pick versus finger style. It’s two people on recordings and live, so all the transcriptions are those two parts, one playing a walking baseline in g and the other soloing over chord forms. When you try to combine the two parts as written it seems impossible, but when you try to figure the song out on your own by listening you just finger the appropriate chord that allows for the baseline.
