Any grown up person who decides to learn something completely new is like a brother to me as I do that all the time, it is as if the freshness of the new reshapes the body. I play the flute but marvel at those guitar-players; how do they do it ?? All cudos to you for wanting to learn to play the guitar !
If you want my advice; do take a teacher. Sitting with a Master is a very interesting thing and will speed up the learning immensely. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMhqqEfiO3Q https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMhqqEfiO3Q Other guitar heros include these two obvious fellows, the chap at the left is actually a master-guitarist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzRYQz_ramI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzRYQz_ramI A guitarist extraordinare: Bill Frisell: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NO-1Euq2RBk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NO-1Euq2RBk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3nzloBmuPE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3nzloBmuPE Guitar-playing on a high level: John Scofield: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WPGdjZr8PI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WPGdjZr8PI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqCyb_jGAMo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqCyb_jGAMo (Snake Dance) Another American guitarist of high esteem is Ry Cooder: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6ymVaq3Fqk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6ymVaq3Fqk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-e0XvZHYGA&list=RD_oYzxkfzJZ0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-e0XvZHYGA&list=RD_oYzxkfzJZ0 Enjoy !
