So I Got a Strat Today..
Coreh:
for free.
It's brand new, and I've been commanded to learn to play it.
I have a guy that'll give me free lessons on my free guitar whenever I need them.
Is this is a sign from the guitar gods?
I'm pretty pumped to try to learn, but I'm wondering if it's insanely hard to learn.
I've heard mixed claims.
Tell me what you think, QC Forums! Especially you guitar playin' fools.
Am I good enough to join your ranks?
Ishotdanieljohnston:
I have no idea, but HOW THE FUCK did you manage to pull that one off? Yes, my freind, this is deffinitely a sign from the rock gods.
Jackie Blue:
Don't take lessons. Teach yourself. You can look up all the major chords online. (And the minor ones, too. GET IT! Ah, guitar humor. Ha ha.)
Seriously, many of the best guitar players taught themselves. It frees you from the conventions of how guitar "should" be played and lets you sound unique.
Basically just bang on it until it sounds good.
Hat:
Honestly, if you can get lessons for free, you'd be an idiot not to take them. Even if its just to pull you up on sloppy technique and shit you're picking up while teaching yourself. I know a couple of extremely awesome guitarists who taught themselves everything about actually playing the music, but had sort of petered out at a certain point because of the limitations of their technique.
I mean, you probably don't need the lessons if you're going to just bang around on it and maybe join a pretty average band, which is still a fun as way to use a dang old free strat as I can think of, but if you don't have to pay for them, it couldn't hurt. Since I started learning the guitar I found having a teacher is a great way to keep your motivation up when you're feeling a bit worn out by the constant practice and painfully sluggish improvement.
Jackie Blue:
Thurston Moore never took guitar lessons.
The defense rests, your honor.
(IIRC neither did Hendrix.)
