How did u learn to play guitar?
Question by David K: How did u learn to play guitar?
Just wondering if you took lessons, listened to music you liked and learned to play the tabs for it, books, DVDs, etc. I am wanting to learn and cant figure out the best way of doing it, Ive had numerous people say to just read the tabs and only try to play the music you like, then Ive had some disagree with that. So, how did u learn to play and what kind of music do you play?

If you only play songs through tabs, you will only know how to play other peoples songs, and if you want to write your own, they become ripoffs of other riffs. Learn guitar theory, and you will be able to write better, and improvise better. If i need a solo on the spot, I pick a scale, a key, and roll with it
