Excellent post TX...i've been playing over 25 yrs even traveled the road with several bands.... i sport a custom left handed gibson les paul...RADARTxLonghorn said:I play. How new are you to guitar? If you just picked it up, I highly recommend getting a buddy to show you some stuff, or pay for a handful of lessons.
Right now, you don't really need that many lessons anyways. You need to learn basic chords and practice changing from chord to chord. Basic chord movements, like I-IV-V progressions and whatnot. Basic scales like minor pentatonic and major pentatonic.
And then just do those over and over and over. All what I just said could be covered in one half hour lesson, or a buddy of yours could show you over a weekend. The reason I would recommend a person is because they will see how your hand placement is, etc., and can help you immediately. Don't get into bad habits at the beginning.
After you have learned these basics, then you can go get more lessons. Otherwise, you will just spend half the lesson changing from one chord to the next. Waste of money at that point in your learning.

Thanks, I have a Hamer. I almost got a black les paul gibson, but decided against it since everybody seems to have one...and now I want one, lol. Damn, those things are sweet. Heavy, but sweet.
I would love to get a chance to be on stage with a band. You must have some interesting touring stories to tell.
