BASS GUITAR THEORY ONLINE
I want to give up on guitar! Can you PLEASE HELP ME!!?
I’ve tried online lessons, books, and a teacher but guitar just seems like a different language to me. One I don’t get. There is so much theory and structure involved and nothing seems to be able to teach me all that. I used to play piano and it was more than 2x easier. Idk what to play now. What’s a good instrument? I wanted to start a band so are bass or drums good and easier instruments to play?
Tortuga Tom – what do you mean
Ok this is why i don’t suggest going online for lessons.Different teachers, different methods,and different ideas on the guitar can confuse you especially if you’re a beginner. I suggest you find one good book, guitar system, or teacher and stick with them and them alone make sure there style works for your. I’m going to suggest CVLS they have great books at www.cvls.com and free guitar lessons at www.freeguitarvideos.com. You have to stick with guitar you just can’t go into another instrument because you think its easier because learning any musical instrument will take time and patience and if you lack drive then learning the bass can be just as difficult as learning lead guitar. There were three things i used to stay motivatied when playing guitar
1. I stuck with one system CVLS i stuck to there straight forward method and didn’t worry about the other millions of teachers out there. THey were good, they explained everything so that i could understand it there lesson were helpful, easy to understand, applicable to me playing guitar with other pros(in other words they taught me how to improvise), and there stuff was challenging it was stuff i wanted to learn and stuff that i had to sit down for a good while and just practice.
2. Playing with others. It would greatly benefit you to find others to play with. I suggest you start off somewhere your familair with does your local church have musicians.Quite often church musicians are some of the best. If not find some old pros who you have some sort of realtionship with. If you can’t do that start your band with people on your level of musicianship or who are a little (not a lot) more advance then you’ll find that the sucky stuff you do sounds much better with a full blown band and its sound backing you trust me I know.
3. I not ashamed to say it God was a big part in my playing. Now you may not believe or whatever the case may be but It just feels good to have the reassurance that you have somebody watching your back and supporting you every inch of the way.
4. Okay i know i said three but another important thing to do is to listen to great music. This to Good bands that you love try to learn there songs it’ll give you a goal and ideas for making you own song.
So in conclusion dude don’t give up If you have anymore questions i’ll be glad to help stick with it guitar is an awesome instrument.
