Thank you so very much. I must admit, I'm still confused but I will print this off and see if it starts to become clear.


I saw something for sale on eBay that is a big circle that you are supposed to turn the dial and it tells you all the scales and things. They were asking about 9 dollars for it. Do you think this is of any benefit to me or am I too new to make sense or use out of it?


Thanks again so much. That was so nice of you to go into such detail to help me.

Hi, I can't thank you enough. I have printed off this thread to learn from.


I tried taking lessons at three different times in my life and stopped for various reasons, but it was really clear that I just can't seem to learn to read music. I will try to learn theory and see if I can gain a better understanding.


I recently bought this cdrom online that teaches you a memorization technique to learn the entire fretboard, but I don't understand what that will mean to me if I can't read music. Maybe your suggestion on theory is the key that will open my undertanding. Thanks everyone!

Thanks Kahuna! I can play all of those chords as someone showed me how to years ago. I just never learned how to play properly. I can only play bits and pieces of things. House of the rising sun and part of Hey Joe. Wow! I'm ready for my close-up Mr. DeMille...LOL


Anyway, I am printing off your advice thank you for taking the time to help me.


I hooked up that Esteban guitar (the pretty black one) to the amp tonight and I played Electric guitar for the first time ever! What a rush! I can't even play yet and I loved it..LOL

Thanks Ken. I found a site that showed 3 scales it said I should learn. I printed off the first one. All it says is Major Scale but I don't know what letter it is (a c g etc.)so I'm a might confused. But I'll take your advice and work on one song and scale at a time.

Hi all,

I am just learning to play on an acoustic. You can laugh..but I bought one of those Black Esteban guitars and the dvds. I am learning Malaguena but I am also trying to learn Stairway to Heaven from an online video and two others.

What I would like to know is how to plan out my practices. I'm also trying to learn scales because everyone says it is helpful but I have no idea what I am even looking at. It is all Greek.

How many songs do you guys work on learning at the same time? I want to practice but then become immobilized because I have too many instructional DVDs and online lessons and I don't know what I should be doing first. Sorry this is so disjointed but it illustrates perfectly how I feel right now..LOL Please give some structure to this poor confused soul...Thanks for any and all help...Jace

I'm glad you asked this question and I hope some of the pros will come in and answer. I, too, am struggling with this and am having the hardest time figuring out tabs. Am I supposed to make a choice between the notes and the chord? Am I supposed to play the chord and use some special picking pattern to hit the notes? I've all but given up on tabs and have been spending a fortune buying videos so I can learn a song by watching someone play it instead. Please help us somebody. Jace

I found a celtic album on amazone with a song called Evangeline by a female artist. If you scroll down to song number 12, they will let you listen to it so you can see if this is the one you are meaning.

There used to be a song I played years ago called "Master Jack." and the picking pattern was pretty neat. You start on the 5th string and pick down every other string.Pick 5,3 then 4,2 then 3,1. While doing this change the chords from C to F to G or G7 can't remember. It sounds cool the faster you get at it. Let me know if you try it and how you like it. Jace

Hi, I'm afraid that although I can play some, I never learned much about the guitar so I don't know what a set up or action is. I did find a wonderful site that shows strength and speed building exercises though. Here is the url if anyone wants to try some of the exercises:
