I'll admit learning guitar can be tough. I taught myself, and after a year and
a half I'd say I have more talent than these only power chord bands. I'm now
starting to delve into the realm of soloing and I think I'm getting there. My
piano background definatly helped me through it. I just tried to move piano
arranged for guitar back over to piano and I realize how rusty I am, but I can
improvise real well on piano. If fact I was at a party and I was just fooling
around and a friend of mine asked me to kepp playing because he liked it, and
this kid is a real good drummer/brass/guitar player so it was a valuable
opinion. I think playing rhythm is pretty easy depending on what it is. If it's
just all open chords I should have no problem after about two or three runs of
the song.
Anyway gotta go
buh-bye
