Anyone currently consumed by their hobby? I'm obsessed with learning how to play guitar!
According to my guitar learning sw, i've put in ~2500 hours over the last 2 years, that's >3 hours of practice a day every day.
Yesterday I practiced 10 hours, already have 2 hours in today. I dream about playing and even have figured out how to play a difficult measure while sleeping and gotten out of bed to play that part I just figured out! nutty right? :) |
What is a "guitar learning sw" ?
|
I am into cycling and usually go at least once a day, if not two or three times a day.
This was Treasure Island weekend before last with San Francisco in the background.... https://scontent.fsjc1-1.fna.fbcdn.n...44&oe=56109AEA |
Start playing with people, drummers, bass players. It will help your meter.
And its fun. |
I think I need a hobby to be honest lol...
|
i wish i had time for a hobby.

either way, there is software available to learn how to play guitar. I'm using a combination of Rocksmith, Rocksmith 2014 and justin guitar lessons |
andy schiller is a pretty well respected online guitar instructor.
in this video, he takes you through the essentials of beginning how to learn guitar via Rocksmith 2014 |
I have Rocksmith but something about the mirror image of the neck throws me off.

I have spent a lot of time and money on music production as well. Mainly Ableton Live 9, I'm okay with Logic X.

I'm probably as bad at what I do as you are at guitar. We would be a perfect fit! LOL. I read what you said above about waiting six months to play with others. I did one session with a friend, he was using a synthesizer and we plugged it directly into Live. I recorded loops as he played and then modified the loops with effects and various cutting techniques. I ended up with half a dozen loops that made sense within 30 minutes and he had no clue what I was doing, LOL. Anyway my point is, do it even if you suck, it will drastically speed up your learning curve. |
Oh and Live is quite an adventure in itself to learn. Since you want to focus on guitar, I would recommend getting something like Reaper. It's a lot simpler and easier to use, plus it's super cheap. Of course if you are on a Mac, just use GarageBand, it's a nice piece of software and pretty easy.
