Hi, I recently joined and would like to ask some advice about where to start.
I played acoustic guitar for 6-7 years, strumming and playing self-tought finger picking, playing songs and singing, even wrote some myself but without much ambition or serious focused practicing, just for fun and to relax. I can play open chords and barre chords no problem, most minor, major and 7 chords at various places on the fretboard and know a few special ones learned thorugh songs.
Recently I bought an electric guitar, a Yamaha Pacifica and now I want to study the instument with the goal of becoming a "real" musician, understanding music theory and how to put it into practice; technique and theory for soloing and accompanying; composition skills; probably reading notes. In short: everything. I am ready to invest a fair amount of time into it. So far I have decided to start with blues, because I like it and because I think it is the basis for a lot of other genres. Learning pentatonic minor and major scales right now.
Guitar Tricks have such a vast amount of lessons. Would someone advice me where to start? I am not a beginner on the instrument but I am a beginner at soloing and truly understanding music.
Cheers,
Henrik
