I found this site a while back and have been visiting it every day since then!. I go there to learn to play songs, get equipment reviews, and also to vote!. http://www!.tubestreamer!.com sponsers someone off of youtube each week and posts them as the "weekly streamer" This is kindof cool and gives people a change to make it off the youtube site and onto other pages as well!. I noticed when I first started going to http://www!.tubestreamer!.com a few weeks ago, that there were changes being made to the page every day!. I think the site is fairly new, but again has given me answers to most all of the questions I had that were guitar related!. If you don't see something you are looking for, just use the search!.

Great page with great guitar content, of which most of the time has had exactly what I am looking for and more!. I noticed there is also a new section that is a web forum area, and rumored a classifieds posting section for guitars and equpt coming soon!. On the email reply I received from http://www!.tubestreamer!.com I was told that there would also be another place added soon for everyone to upload their own guitar videos and tutorials!. I found out it will be the "sister" site of tubestreamer!.com and the domain is called youstreamer!.com Definatly a website worth bookmarking in my browser, and hopefully it will be as much help to you!.

Visit, sign up for the forums, and browse around! Thank you for reading! http://www!.tubestreamer!.comWww@QuestionHome@Com Get some instruction from a live person paid or free, but where they can see and hear your progress!. That is the only way that mistakes are going to be caught early before they become serious or discouraging problems!. The use of web sites is a bonus, but not the way improve your skills and definitely not the way to begin!.!. Remember that you might be able to teach yourself how to fly an airplane, but I would not want you to be my pilot!. To learn some things you need a teacher!. I recently talked to an excellent guitar player who said he had never had a lesson!. After a long conversation, he admitted that he had sat with good players and they had made suggestions!. He had played and ask people for help!. He sat and listened to other players and then ask how they did something!. That is what lessons are!. He just did not pay!. If you sit in your room and work from the net or a book you will never know if you are doing it right!. Www@QuestionHome@Com Simply put!.!.!. NO!.!.!. you can NEVER become a great, self taught guitarist because it takes that input from a TEACHER to correct ALL YOUR MISTAKES!.!.!. and if you have been learning on your own very long, you may NEVER correct all the things you are doing wrong!.!. and when you are a sloppy player because you learned on your own!.!.you will NEVER be a great guitar pickerWww@QuestionHome@Com You can do anything you set your mind to!. You will have to be dedicated and disciplined!. There are great benefits to having an instructor and in most cases it will help speed up our progress!. However, many players have become great with little or no formal training!. Dimebag from Pantera was an outstanding example!. He could not tell you what he was playing but he could play anything!. Www@QuestionHome@Com Well u could try coz my bro in law had learnt \to play the guitar all by himself!. However it took him two years to be able to play well!. I would suggest u take a couple of lessons first and then move further by urself!. good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com see: Jimi HendrixWww@QuestionHome@Com |
