I don't know where I am with my guitar so I thought I be a complete novice even though, I do know the frets, strings and so on.
What I do strugggle with, stringing the guitar, what it means by half tuning down, or full tuning down. Therefore, I thought I learn everything from scratch.
I did have guitar lessons but I felt it was a waste of time as the teacher wrote me cords and told me here's how to play now you practice at home. Half of the time I didn't know what the song was. I didn't know if I was playing correctly or incorrectly.
Hence I decided to use this and see what I can get out.
I wanted to play the guitar as a child but my father wouldn't let me, instead he got me a recorder and I had to learn on that, I got bored of it as it was something I didn't want to do. My dad was worried I would be in a rock band and well, I think what is wrong with a child wanting to be in a rock band if that was my choice? Now as middle aged I really want to learn to play, I'm like kind of like I'm too old for this. Especially with poor vision too. I never really had the help or support to guide me through playing. I hope this site gives me that.
Thank you.
Malcolm
