My brother didn't pick up guitar until he was 18, but he basically played it nonstop when he did, until his guitar strings were gleaming with the fresh blood from his torn fingertips.

He got fucking good fucking fast because fucking would not put that fucking thing down.


i used to be like that when i started playing

but recently i've been getting really rusty because i go thru this vicious cycle of playing and then getting discouraged because i suck and then not getting any better because i don't play

i want to take lessons this summer so that i actually have structure and someone giving me songs to learn as opposed to just fucking around and looking up tabs whenever i feel like playing something

Private lessons help a LOT. As long as you are actually practicing.

Go to a music store and buy a beginner learning book (or whatever level you can handle). Adult level, so it has a decent pacing.

Don't ever feel bad about using a learning book. I'm still using very high end learning books, as while they don't have any simplified songs anymore, they help give me some nice organized song progression that is letting me progress into the most difficult of songs.

Not to mention it gets me some stuff to keep my playing skill fresh, without having to hunt down some sheet music to play.

My dad plays guitar in a band and helps run a small record label.

My brother can play guitar very, VERY well.

And I... have no motivation to perform music anymore. :I

getting a book is a pretty good idea. when i first started i had guitar for dummies taken out from the library and that got me to practice like fuck

so getting a book will actually give me a goal to work to e.g. learning the hardest song in the book or whatever

which is good
