Becoming a better guitar player electric and acoustic.?

Question

Hi
I had been playing Classical guitar for 3 years untill i gave it up because my private tutour moved away. 12 months later i have decided to play again, im now saving up for an electric guitar and am playin my folk guitar. Instead of playing classical i now want to play rock. Are there any songs sites books etc which can help me start off rock with an acoustic guitar and then movin onto to electric? Any tips on how to strum chords more effectively and how to switch between notes would be good and how to play like Jimi Hendrix and other pros would be fab.

Thx

Answer 1

Kid, if you need books and tutors, you better drop it all now. If after 3 years you don't know how to strum or "switch between notes," whatever that meant, you're a lost case. Hendrix never needed anyone or anything to haul his rear toward learning.

Wow! You sound just like me! My mom made me take classical lessons. Hated it, and stopped touching guitars for years, until I was able to afford my first electric. For the same reasons, too, I wanted to RAWK!

Anyways, I hope you learned some stuff from those lessons, 'cause they will go far. My advice to you is plug it in, turn it up, and start playing! And keep praciticng til you sound like what those guys on CDs sound like.
