Currently just trying to get down left/right hand movment with some practice... chords? Not sure if thats the right word for them. E -----3------6-------- Followed by B ------3------5-------- Followed by same on G and D, and A and E following Low E pattern. I do that acending and descending. That was week 1 lesson, once I got at a decent speed (descent for me anyways , with accuracy). I moved onto this pattern. E ---3---5---7 Same pattern for B, then starting on G I go down 1 fret ( 4--6--8) D following, then again on A moving down another fret ( 5---7---9 ) High E following. Doing this one Descenting and Acending as well. This week I started alternating between the 2 patterns. Need to find a something a bit more challenge for this week. Yeah... kinda pathetic, but have to start somewere Edited by Madmecha, Jul 19 2009, 02:01 AM.

I would like to down the road, I figured getting some basics left/right cordination first would help greatly. I'm definitely enjoying it so far, even at its basic level. Been trying to at least practice 30 minutes a day.

Are you using a book/books or DVDs or the internet??? Have a look at my "guitar diary" blog in my profile page that describes my tutored lessons with from week 1 onwards. 'First' entry is on the last page... Maybe it'll give you ideas and keep your motivation up. Most of all, keep enjoying your journey Cheerz Mark H
