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.     [Show/Hide Quoted Message] (Quoting Message by jimmyjames from Tuesday, May 10, 2011 8:14:35 PM)|   |   | jimmyjames wrote: |   |  Why not just go take guitar lessons?    |   |   | Budred wrote: |   |  Most people posting here seem to know quite a bit about guitars. I got one for christmas and I need to learn how

a "Bad Monkey" tube overdrive and a "Main Squeeze" compressor. I bought a Korg tuner and he showed me how to  
tune my guitar. The only thing now is to start learning. Is their anyone here willing to help a newbie. I was hoping 
someone here could suggest a site to teach me some "simple" things to practice and help myself get started. I've 
never touched a guitar before so any advice has to be simplistic. Could anyone tell me what  these pedals do. Any 
advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm to old to become a musician but I've always wanted to play 
a guitar. I don't expect to get great I just want to learn to play something. If you guys only want to talk to advanced players 
it's all good. Thanks, regardless. Peace! |
