Hi,

My recommendation would be to find the best teacher you can find and take lessons.

This will speed up your learning process in a BIG WAY!!!

Also, don't start off trying to learn really hard and complicated tunes. Pick some easy things and work your way up. Make sense??

But I would recommend lessons!

I hope this helps.
