So, after owning a guitar for most of my life, I thought I'd finally learn how to play it. You, happy readers, get to be witnesses to my progress. Before we get into it though, I'd probably better bring you up to speed as to where I currently am.
Guitars - a Hamer arch-top with two humbucker pickups (the main one I play) and a Bently acoustic.
Amps - Vox AC30 headphone amp (sounds awesome) and a POD 2.0 (also very cool).
Materials - Musician's Institute's Rythm Guitar(RG) and Guitar Fretboard Workbook(GFW) as well as a music theory book.
Current status - just completed the first chapter of RG and the pain in my finger-tips is starting to go away (yay). I've also memorized the 5 root patterns and major scale pattern as defined in GFW. To help me learn the notes on the fretboard, I've written a little computer program that places a dot on a fretboard diagram and checks my guess. Kinda geeky, but fun never-the-less.
