  • Primarily, keep listening to, learning, and analyzing music you love.

    Can do. I’ve noticed as I learn, the videos of the guitar players look and sound different to me. I’m picking up on the sounds of techniques, and visually understanding what the left hand is mostly doing whilst associating the sound to the hand shape.

    my right hand sucks something fierce but I think that’s because I’m going from finger style only, to flat picking and skipping the strumming step?

    I have lessons on the 4th, so hoping they can push some theory. we’ll see. I’ll take a look at those books though esp the 1st one, I haven’t read any music in like 20 years so it’s a good refresher for sure

    thank you

    no clue… my phone doesn’t get calls or messages from anyone anymore. I don’t even know why I have it tbh… I keep checking if someone sent me any message in my personal life, and it’s always no. I could move/change my number and I’m sure nobody would notice for a long long long time, if ever.





  • good to know, I’m currently not even trying to play songs specifically, but more just have good sounding chord progressions to get familiar with the guitar itself.

    example: https://youtu.be/GMiMhYLsxB4 starts at 0:25

    I am also learning like Billy did, and obviously doc Watson… eyes closed. I want to feel the guitar and music, not rely on my visual senses.

    it’s going to be a long road of learning. already at the addiction phase. perhaps I will try to get some songs under my belt that encompass a few chords that I already know to help me with my rhythm game
