Kaitlyn asked:


I dont want to learn how to read guitar tabs, I want to learn how to read notes. I have played violin for 8 years and I know how to read notes, so will that help me learn faster guitar notes? I just need to know I guess the basics of the guitar, to see if I really like it or note. Thanks in advance.

I just started learning guitar on a more than casual basis.
I just started learning guitar on a more than casual basis. I can play by ear but I realize that I am cheating myself out of an education. I need an explanation for the why do scales work and how they fit together.
I understand learning scales are fundamental to everything else but what I don’t understand is why? Why do they work together. Math behind it? Etc. I could quite possibly mind numbingly memorize them but that wouldn’t mean that I had a full understanding of it.
I actually play keyboard by ear also and I have memorized the layout already. I have tried books and they all start out with crappy excercises involving ode to joy and auld lang syne.

I’m 16 and always wanted to learn how to play guitar. I previously took piano lessons when I was 13, quit ( Piano isn’t my cup of tea ), and I think I might want to try taking guitar lessons. How difficult is it to start learning guitar compared to other instruments if you have a teacher? I played the saxaphone back in 5th-8th grade for the school band, but I never was that great at it. Thanks!
