Rec | BEEN PLAYING HELLA GUITAR LATELY

⭐

something about learning a song in its simplest form and then adding complexities to it yourself. Musical opium. Keeps me awake at night its that good.

NOT SURE IF THIS IS HELPFUL BUT HERE GOES

i’ve also been trying to learn guitar for a while, and while it may not be the easiest way to do things, the most engaging thing i’ve found is learning songs i reallyyy like – so i’ll really stick it out – and then also making my own songs with both chords that i know and chords i don’t eg. just randomly placing / moving ur fingers around until something sounds nice. while you might not learn and memorise every chord ever this way, it keeps you actually playing the guitar (even if it‘s a bit shit) + i‘ve come out of it with some of my favourite melodies!

Learn via tabs and write your own songs

I was in your same position when I was younger & decided to take lessons: friend, it completely made me hate the idea of playing guitar. I wanted to rock and roll but they were having me learn hot cross buns. One day I put my guitar into its case and slid it back under my bed where it stayed for years. I only took it out again after some friends and I jokingly created a band, ironically. At that point there was no taskmaster other than my whimsy, so I learned what a power chord was and went bananas. With every goofy punk song we wrote, it seemed like I’d learn a new technique or chord to utilize and it was fun and exciting. After awhile I learned about tablature and how many people would notate the songs I loved, and so I used those to pick up new progressions and such. It was helpful because every now and again a song would deploy something I had never tried, but it was easy to learn when motivated by the song, ya know? Anyhow, that’s my two cents.
