I'm trying to use GT to learn "properly" and so practice what I've learned every day.

I also use you tube to learn a few recognisable riffs which keeps me interested and stops basic practice from being monotonous.

It can be a slow process but you'll start to find that you aren't struggling as much as you were - it's almost imperceptible, just don't give up!

db_208,

Thank you for this comment. I too felt that Lisa went painfully slow, but I thought that maybe I could just skip a little ahead until I got beyond simple chords; I am 50 years old and feel some of the beggining is too elementary. I tried other online sites too, but I wanted to follow a course that has a begining middle and end, and guitartricks seemed to offer that. I feared that skipping ahead could be damaging. e.g. I might miss some important instruction. After two hours of viewing simple stuff, I was frustrated, but I think I will skip ahead a little to get a better feel for the site.

Tone,
