Thanks for all the advice fellas...I've wanted to play the guitar since I was young. I got on this site, and seemed to pick things up pretty quickly, to a certain extent. But, maybe the old adage is true that you have to walk before you can run, and patience has never been a virtue of mine. Keep the advice coming...Much appreciated!

Hey fellas, started taking lessons (only been to one so far) and the guy is trying to teach me how to read music...while I'm sure it's a good thing to learn, is this method really necessary at all? I'm starting to understand tabs a little more (thanks to this site) but I don't know about the whole reading music thing. I guess it's helpful, but I'm not going to play something that I don't know...So the real question is, do I have to be able to read music at all, to be able to think on the guitar? I want to understand, feel, and think on the guitar, rather than just memorize where to put my fingers. I hope this post makes sense, and would appreciate any advice to be able to truly understand and play the guitar...Thanks in advance, and sorry about the rambling!

Thanks for all the advice Ken and Ron!! And No, I'm not your buddy from dumbarton Ken, just another punk with a sick sense of humor.

Great site! Never taken a lesson before, but picking things up pretty quick because of this site. I know I'm probably doing some things wrong, but at least I picked up the axe that's been sitting in the closet for years, and learning some songs...Thanks!
