Hi all

Live in Randburg, just started playing, no formal lessons though, mainly watch youtube to learn a bit. Guitar is an Ibanez EW series. Listen to anything really.
Enjoy christian music, Hillsong, and so on. Would like to meet groups that I could learn from. ?
    Hey man!!

    Good to have you here!
    We were all newbie's once. It all comes with time, patience and ALOT of practice.

    post us a pic of your guitar!
      Hey welcome, it's a great journey and you are at the right place!
        Welcome. Everytime, I get to learn something new, I feel like a newbie again. ?
          Welcome. You've come to the right place. ?

          If you using youtube to learn from try checking out Marty Schwartz. Some really great lessons for beginners.

                no! worst advice you could ever give!

                dude/dudette, you must also learn the blues scale. your playing will advance no end in one half-hour spent learning this scale. ?
                  Haha i was being sarcastic, many people have gotten pretty far tho just using that, :-\

                    Blues scale changed my life once I started practicing it

                      i know, was just adding to the sarcasm. i think we all know that - no matter how far you'll get using just the pentatonics, or even the blues scales - it'll never be enough. there's a vid up here somewhere by arno which does show just how much you can get done with the simplicity of the pentatonic shape, though. pretty good watch.

                      peace!

                      (ps to spar - there's always more to learn when it comes to guitar. but you gotta start somewhere, so don't worry about the enormity of all the stuff you have to learn, rather concern yourself with getting the hang of the little things, one at a time, and see where they lead. justinguitar is great, and you can be quite specific with searches on both google and youtube in terms of techniques and other stuff you want to learn - go check it all out. that is, if you can't/don't want to get a teacher, or a teacher you really click with.)
