I am at a beginner level as guitarist, played on and off for a bit more than a year, but to be honest to much of it is "off-time".
Right now it is more like 3-4 weeks (1 month) being consistent...and then 1-2 even 3 months of sporadic pracitcing or just playing/strumming.
Started out with a dreadnought Freshman FA400d wanting to learn some chords, strumming tecniques, to be able to play more and more of my favourites.
Yeah, I know It is not in the pricerange many may look when buying your first guitar, but does not say much about my playing. Just got it at a nice price....and hey, It is usually worth paying for a little more quality, right ?!
Anyhow, love the guitar, nice solid wood guitar for a sweet price. Just great, and guess it will sound better and better with time I guess. So guitar is just fine, but my playing aint!
And most of all, more and more I am starting to enjoy and want to learn fingerpicking so now I sort of want to start of with something basically new to me again.
It is just something that feels relaxing to me, both listening and trying to play. And that is really one of tjhe things I love most about playing...do not have that need to be great, love the mix of fun and relaxation!
Problem is, much of my guitarfavourite-folders/bookmarks in chrome is based around chords/strumming/song-sites etc.
And now I would appreciate and love to get a few hinst and pointers to sites helping me get going with fingerpicking.
I follow Steve E:sa course now on Jamplay and would mainly appreicate the following to complement those episodes.
1) Some sites or youtubevideos helping with a few very simple songs, ballads etc that ) I can practice. You know, just to get the feeling and the joy of actually "playing a song".
Would be nice to have at least 10 easy beginner ballads/songs to play.
Real songs or "for practice" does not matter. Also preferebly where my left hand dont have to travel to much up and down the fretboards.
Dont mean it have to be supereasy, as in learn in a week or so. More like needs practice but very possible for a beginner to learn. (with a little patience)
2) Some site/series of youtubevideos etc around the "most importnat" scales/patterns that preferebly do so combining suggestions on practicemoments/sessions and theory.
Preferebly around those scales/patterns that will be most helpful and improtant for me to know as a beginner.
Hopefully this, together with Steve E:s courses and some free time during the summer holidays can help me get a new kickstart and a better consistency the over the summer!
Well, that together with a nice little summerpresent found on sale and ordered for myself; A new Furch vintage-guitar that accordning to reviews etc on the web should be great for some fingerpicking ....and some relaxed jamming in those summerevenings
Really appreicate all help I can get friends, and if you have any other sites, advice etc that may help me..
Well, anything helping me get going and stay motivates is a great help! Thanks in advance![]()
