I have been playing for a little over a year, and I know quite a few chords and I can put together whole songs but I want to get better--- maybe to the point where I could play with a band, or at least be able to jam with friends. What do you recommend as a daily learning strategy? I am eager to learn, but if something is super complicated I tend to get frustrated.

Where can I find scales to work on??
2006-06-29 10:55:56 · update #1
tabs - www.guitartabs.cc
i like this website no b-s pretty straightforward
to get better?
finger weights
long tones
pentatonic scales
then majors and minors
then if you get really good try to follow some Trey Anastacio scales. Learning "Stash" for the first time is so rewarding.
Dont get frustrated or if you do take some time away from the guitar for just a little while then come back to it. Also, find things to play that you enjoy playing, or jam w/ some jam friendly songs where you can easily pick up on a scale...pretty much any slow grateful dead jam. Darkstar is especially good.
ive been playing for a while now, guitar is alot of fun!
peace out. hope that helped some

I like guitaretab.com. I can ususally find the song I'm looking for.
Are you self-taught? Maybe try some lessons at a music store. I'm not sure there is a way to get good fast, other than practice, practice, practice...

I use ultimate-guitar.com. They have everything, easy to access.
Try doing scales. Basically, you're moving up and down in different 'keys'. It helps tune your ear and learn where the sounds on your guitar are, you can use them to build speed and flexibility, all sorts of things.
When you hear crazy riffs that fly all over the place ("shredding"), these are basically based off scales that they've gotten really good at.
Good luck, have fun with it don't push yourself too hard.

to get tabs go on google and write the song you want and it will give you a site with tabs. as for getting better and faster, the only thing you can do is practice and play your *** off.

Guitar tabs: Chordie.com & Wholenote.com.
To get fast: Learn a riff and play it as fast as you can everyday, over and over and over. You will get faster for sure.
Do this for all your riffs. It's just like lifting weights.
