05.22.10 | I just taught myself guitar. I took a few off this douche country and western guitarist and he sucked, so i took matters into my own hands. I'm sure a good teacher would help, though |

05.22.10 | My teacher's pretty young, probably not more than 10 years older than I am but he's a pretty talented jazz guitarist from what i've heard. I was going to teach myself but I wanted a place to start to see what it's like. |

05.22.10 | Never took lessons, probably should just for technique sakes. |

05.22.10 | best thing to do is find a teacher who you can connect with on a taste level... most likely with heavy music im guessing. but also if hes trained in jazz then you have the perfect combo. you need a guy you respect so that when he pushes you, you will actually listen.
i stopped having lessons for a while because i hated my teacher, but when i found a guy that was into jazz/metal, it made a huge difference. best decision i have made. |

05.22.10 | I know like one scale and i use it continously. Come to think of it i think i need to get guitar lessons off a good teacher for theory sake |
Waior
05.22.10 | I took music theory for a grueling six years but it's all come back to bless me. My guitar teacher was awesome, got a lot of awesome fingerstyle, jazz and folk techniques out of my time with him. I've been self-taught for the past two years now but I'm still using material he gave me to help improve my playing and it's still remarkable what a difference it makes.
Stay in school, kids. |

05.22.10 | haha by the sounds of it, you really need some help with that. |

05.22.10 | nah this guy's talented definitely, when I mentioned it to one of my guitar-playing friends he said that he was ridiculous, and i'm into jazz a lot because of my drumming. |

So fucking true. My first serious teacher loved Death and Cynic. His dad was a roadie for death. He apparently touched chucks guitar when he was 5 years old.

Phantom
05.22.10 | I've been playing guitar for quite a few years now and have taught myself most of the essentials of guitar/music theory but could benefit from some lessons just to advance my knowledge, but if I didn't it wouldn't adversely affect my playing.
Plus I have better things to spend money on right now. |
