Learning to play guitar...

<< < (3/3)

La Creme:
My personal advice as a player of instruments (violin and cello in elementary school, piano from kindergarden grade until about 7th grade and guitar for the past 5 and a half years) is to LEARN KEYBOARDS FIRST. That's the easiest way to learn theory.
Next, get rock guitar lessons. Learn scales, chords, and all that basic crap. After however long you feel is necessary LEARN JAZZ GUITAR. This will help you immensely in all music you play (yes, even metal). I know it helped me a buttload.

BusterKeaton:
Learn all you can about music theory, so that youll have the mental capacity to understand music, So you know what keys to play in and how to recognize them and understand how music moves. And in the mean time PLAY!!! my heroes are the old blues guitarists that spent 7/8ths of there lives playing a guitar, Like the guy in my avatar Robert johnson. ¨Play till your fingers bleed then get drunk and continue playing the booze will kill the pain, And keep a wet rag handy to periodically wipe the blood off the fret board.

uberjon:
You should also record yourself as much as possible, it will help you hear where you are making mistakes and see if you are keeping in time.
