Nice . I recommend the Justin Guitar course , tried Fender play but found it a bit dull and just couldn't get into it
Thank you! I've been looking at Fender and will look at Justin Guitar too. I've heard the same thing about the Fender courses....
Thank you. I'll have a look at that app. I'm also getting a teacher once a week just to keep me motivated and on track.

Just realised this is a new thread, oops.
Because of your recommendation , I watched Justin on you tube.What a brilliant explainer on how to approach playing.
That is a thing of beauty
Yeah I got bored easily with the fender one agree he has a great teaching method
Well done. The low action on your electric will make it easier to play and practice for longer at a time.
I've heard the same from others which is why I went electric. Thanks for confirming.
Ultimate guitar is excellent. Even the free version works great.
I've got the away version lol
Not quite the 5 and dime, but I learnt on a massive steel string jumbo acoustic my Mum got me from Scayles music in Newington, ridiculous high action. Baptism of fire!
Taking lessons should help enormously, not just for the obvious stuff like the music itself, but posture, instrument care, avoiding bad habits, etc. - all things which can make a huge difference as you progress.
I really, really like that.
Absolutely. And my instructors been playing for about 45 years and is unstructured in a good way. He's all about what I want to learn, having fun and learning to play well, not fast in the beginning. Fast comes with time but playing chords clean is something that's important from the beginning. He lets me jump right into songs I want to learn and then I practice, practice. When a song has a new chord or a new way to play I haven't come across before, that's when we go over it. For instance I wanted to learn Wish You Were Here and that was the time we started in on what's a Hammer-On and a Pull-Off. The way he teaches keeps me really interested and I practice so the next time I go to him I don't look like a complete idiot. He keeps me on track which is what I need.
progress is slow but good fun
That too....I meant I really like your guitar.
Obviously practice is important for the pupil but it also helps keep the tutor interested too. There's nothing worse than a student who doesn't make progress as the lessons end up like groundhog day. I taught music (pipes) a few hours a week for years. I could have done a lot more and earned some decent extra dosh but I couldn't be bothered with pupils just going through the motions.
Torture!
I like it too , I'd like it even more if i could get it to make the right noises lol . I recently bought a Boss Katana Mini too , some noise from an amp that would fit in a shoe box
My attempts made everybody's ears bleed
what ye playin it in?
yep exactly the samewhat ye playin it in?
I used to do it in E (so main riff was E ----D/ A), easyish chords to do twirly bits (as ma ex calls them) in as you progress....
Mind you, I could only sing it in E anyway
I'm now playing bass where muting strings is an advantage and 2 less strings to worry about . Recently started The Bass Buzz course when i realized my technique was shite
No baked beans!
Not dissing you , but if you cant play a 12 bar......
