Any tips for learning guitar? I’m an absolute rookie.

I found a nice starter guitar (acoustic) the other day for a steal of a price, I’ve always wanted to try so I couldn’t say no.

I’ve been just strumming and practicing chords, hand posture, finger placement, etc.

Should I just hop into learning a song?

I am ā€œself taughtā€

The stuff that paid the most dividends early was all the ā€œnon funā€ finger exercises. the finger strength and dexterity unlocks all the other stuff

i wanted to just jam around and have fun, but i made myself go half and half. seemed to keep it fun enough to keep going but also made actual technical improvements

This might be what I have to do, I’m bad because I get bored of things easily. I figure if I can do some song learning as well as finger exercises it’ll probably keep me entertained enough.

Finger dexterity is a bit of an issue because I have sausage fingers but we’re workin’ on it šŸ˜‚

How’s the book coming along?

really really well.

just incorporating reader feedback.

i’m going to go downstairs, make an expresso, and sign the contract of a smaller publisher

Good for you!
