Guitar players?

[bluewolf]

For our resident guitar experts..

It's been the best part of 20 years since I last played, but I've decided to bust the old acoustic out of the attic and have another go at it.. The style I'm looking at will be mainly Folk / Americana / Hillbilly...

What are your suggestions for websites/online training sites? Looking to get the basics back before I start the lessons..

Thanks in advance..

Don't want the marshmallow elbow to fall apart while strumming do we?

You do work in Burnley, after all.

Tis true. It's how I communicate with my people. They're all better guitar players than me though. The 6th ginger really helps.....

Playing the guitar is pretty hard on your left fingertips (assuming you play it right-handed) but not on your elbows.

Oh you got there first.

Another vote for JustinGuitar to get you going - and more tbh, he's very good. Once you've got a few chords and a little technique down, head over to Ultimateguitar.com for the transcriptions to your favourite songs and try your luck. There are video lessons for lots of them as well to help you along.

Thanks for the replies guys. Going to check out Justin Guitar later and start re-learning the basics.

You can tune a guitar but you cannot tuna fish unless you adjust the scales first!
