Planning / How-to Tips

	Rollsy71 says: 06/22/2007	Bought an acoustic through e bay - bit of a bargain to be honest and a quality guitar for the price - and have a couple of self teach books / dvd's which did help. I have signed up for a 10 week evening class locally which has brought me on leaps and bounds - i would definitely recommend you do this as its generally only an hour a week, and for me personally, it all sticks better than from a book!
	twisted says: 05/06/2007	I've purchased an electric guitar and a tutorial dvd in place of going to a class. I'll give an update on whether that helps or not.

Anyone at any level of guitar can be in the jam. http://www.steveroby.com/Jimi_Hendrix_Archives/Register.html The perfect reason to learn those few chords!

	susiew says: 10/16/2007	That's awesome. I kind of slacked off after a while but want to keep learning. The guitar strap company is a totally cool idea!
	guitarmongrel says: 10/11/2007	I am totally high on learnimg to play the guitar better. A couple of friends and I have gotten together an started a company that makes custom guitar straps. http://www.italiastraps.com/process.html I've also signed up for some courses at the local JC in classical guitar to improve my technique without a pick... My only problem is spending too much time playing guitar :)
	Artful says: 07/02/2007	I might find a college course on this
	susiew says: 06/24/2007	You just reminded me I should sign up for classes this summer! Have fun!
	susiew says: 03/26/2006	I joined a once a week group guitar class. A week after starting I can play Happy Birthday! I am accepting bookings for children`s birthday parties. :) We are also learning a White Stripes song. That way when the kids boo me I can wow them with how cool I am. Seriously, after just a couple of lessons I felt like I can really learn to play decently. Seeing that today I "jammed" with the teacher playing the blues I felt I could say I've "done" this goal although I plan to continue to keep learning!
