when i first picked up a guitar someone taught me 3/4 time by pointing out the start of small town from live on 2 legs. 1,2,3,4,2,3...
I pretty much still hear eddie vedder's voice whenever i play a song in that time. is there any sort of trick like that with songs in 5 or 7?

How's your playing going, Bam? Did you just pretend to pick up guitar so you'd feel less emasculated when wifey says you can't play your drums?

I guess as well as you’d expect for a 40 year old who plays just about every night for four months for like 20-30 minutes per night

what do you play on? i've only played on acoustic guitars, i've always wondered if using an electric guitar would make learning easier.

Acoustic is always going to be more difficult because of the need to press harder on the fretboard. If you switched to electric I think you'd find yourself gliding all over that thing.

Co-signed. Buying an acoustic first set me back nearly 2 years in getting serious about learning to play

I mean, it's still transferrable. Like how Ament talks about playing his 8 string (paired) bass and then returning to his 4 and it feeling like a toy because it was so much easier to handle. I don't think playing acoustic is a setback, it's just a little tougher on the hands and fingers.

Set back as in I gave up because it wasn’t fun. Electric is way more fun then when you start to get the hang of it, acoustic becomes fun.

:thumbsup:

i'm gonna try to get one by the end of the summer. i've played long enough i can usually hear simple melodies/chord progressions and play them, but i've literally had 2 guitars in the 15 years i've been teaching myself and both are acoustic.

You're both horrible ambassadors for learning to play guitar.

That's not true. This thread is a hot topic and I brought it to life.

You could pluck a ton of posts from the gearhead thread, merge them here, and they would make sense and pre-date you.

Guys. I am learning Daughter right now. It is in a different tuning. Not sure if you all knew that or not. It's quite easy once tuned correctly.
