Beginner Guitarist. Please Help!

Sign in to disble this ad
Hi all,

First off as a new member I would like to say hi to everyone! I am really excited to join the community! I am in need of some help! I am learning to play the guitar and could use some advice. My friend recommended the below E-Book on how to play guitar by Stefan Schyga and it has been pretty beneficial. However, it is a little broad and I could use some backup information. Would any members happen to have any free resources on how to play the guitar and/or expand on Stefan Schyga's theories? I appreciate all you help and let me know if you need any additional information. Thanks again!!

first thing you gotta do is trade in your guitar for a bass.

Why are you making fun of him? Do you want him to know that bass players are dicks? It takes some guts for a rank beginner to post on a public forum as this and ask for help.

I tried to look at the book you reference in your post and was required to "Prove I was a human" by asking me to click and get an insurance quote. I don't know if you're serious or a clever spammer.

It was only a friendly joke, I'm pretty sure that that OP can handle it.

Hi all,

No worries my feelings are not hurt, haha. I can take criticism. I appreciate all of your feedback.

I just went on the site again and I saw that "prove you are human" thing. I actually downloaded the e-book 2 weeks ago and that wasn't there so I haven't had to go on the site in a while. I just did it and nothing bad happened.

Anyways... thanks again everyone for your humor and help! Take care
