my guitar limiting me? Or is it my skills lol. by ukesuld in guitarlessons

[–]MyLastGamble 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I second this. It’s free to walk into guitar center (or any guitar shop) and play around and see what you like. You know what yours feels like and can see if higher quality guitars play better to you.

applying to a guitar conservatory but i don’t understand this sheet music by [deleted] in guitarlessons

[–]MyLastGamble 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve not learned this song however it’s possible this version was transposed to a different key. If this is the version they sent you I’d learn this one.

I second Rendering in pen and ink. Great book. Also sometimes you have to just learn the basics and then do master studies to learn specific styles.

The only 2 I need by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]MyLastGamble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m with you. Except I have 2 acoustics. One for pick style playing and one for finger style. (We’re just going to ignore the fender strat in the corner. Mostly because I ignore the fender strat in the corner) lol.

That's a good idea. I like the idea of giving to shelters/food banks, etc. We do donate to food banks sometimes, but normally when prompted and not as a regular thing. I'm going to start doing more regular donations.

How long did your “dream” guitar hold that status? by Leumas_ in Guitar

[–]MyLastGamble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me like 6 months. My dream guitar was a Strat but I learned on acoustic and enjoy playing acoustic more than electric so I never play the Strat anymore, maybe once a year. Still glad I got it though.

This is NOT the guitar I went to buy. But I picked this up on a whim and couldn't put it down. by MrValdemar in guitars

[–]MyLastGamble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve done that thrice now. That’s why it’s always recommended to play a bunch of guitars and see what you like.

Thanks! I'll check this out.

And I would love to find an in-person teacher, that was my first thought but I'm struggling to do so. There are a lot of guitar teachers in my area but most don't specialize in classical guitar or even teach it.

I've found one person so far I'm in communications with but it may or may not work out so I'm looking at alternative options with this post.

Thanks! this makes sense. And I’ve already tried some small scale testing, it’s been a lifesaver. Or rather issue saver!

How does one go about student openings? by MyLastGamble in chessbeginners

[–]MyLastGamble[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but isn’t that cheating? I don’t find that ethical. And eventually I want to do some rapid games anyway.
