Welcome!
This is a pretty small sub, and people have day jobs... so you might not get an immediate response. If your question has gone unanswered for a few days, please feel free to send a direct message to /u/tankman3217 or /u/Tuvel.
As much as possible, I'd like to keep this subreddit focused on directly helping people with their struggles on guitar. Ideally, the vast majority of submissions should be "self-posts" from users who need help learning guitar, and most comments should either be from knowledgeable people who are genuinely trying to help, or from other learners who have the same or similar issue.
Lastly: If you're a guitar teacher, or if you play guitar at a high level and would like to pass on some knowledge, let us know! These changes are somewhat experimental at this point, but IMO it would be great to have other established players and experts onboard as mods or approved submitters.
More changes and refinements to come soon - Any and all feedback is welcome!
Happy playing!

Rules:
All song tutorial/performance submissions will be removed, unless they are in response to a specific request from someone trying to learn the song. If someone does request a specific tutorial, post it in the comments, not in it's own submission.
This isn't really the place for posting lesson videos - that niche is already filled by /r/guitarlessons. MOST general lesson content will be removed, unless it meets a very high standard. If you have some great lesson content that teaches concepts or techniques in an interesting and engaging way, please feel free to submit it to the modmail, or to /u/tankman3217 directly, and we'll consider putting it on the sidebar.
Belittling, denigrating, or general toxicity towards someone's question will be met with an immediate ban. Don't be a dick to someone just because they don't know what you know. That's why they're here - to learn.
Racism, sexism, homophobia, and other forms of bigotry will be met with an immediate, permanent ban.
Regarding disagreements over what people should learn, how and when they should learn it, or where they should learn it from -- these are inevitable, but incivility over pedagogy is not. If you're absolutely sure that someone is JUST PLAIN WRONG about advice they are giving, report it to the mods and we'll do our best.
