I have a pedalboard, and recently bought an extra large guitar case which fits all my odds and ends in it.. so I don’t need a gig bag anymore

Agree completely that a broad understanding of basic blues guitar is essential for almost any player

I’ve had private lessons before and they’ve been so beneficial since the instructor was someone that I could mimic and respect.

They might get a little pricey sometimes, but all good things come at a cost whether it’s time or money.

Umm yes there is a difference between learning lead and rhythm, but they do tie into each other. Often lead guitar exercises are used as an easier way to introduce new concepts or techniques, but you can often then apply those ideas to rhythm playing.

Any good instruction material will help you with both skills.

I can’t stand learning from DVDs – too hard to work it out note for note when they do something fast!

You’re exactly right about a teacher being able to spot mistakes that you don’t know you’re making! I started learning from an old Mel Bay book that I borrowed from my uncle.. it was great material. But when I finally got around to getting a lesson, my guitar teacher pointed out that i tend to hold the guitar with the headstock pointing down and tilted away from my body.. basically making everything harder than it needed to be. It took a while to correct this, I’d had a whole year’s bad habit in holding the guitar wrong.. I managed to break out of the habit though, just by being mindful of how I was playing.

Awesome..

I figured it was easier for people just to flick through the exercises on Flickr, than to have to scroll through the category page
