Hey guys, I have been playing a long time but I always play the same things whether it be hair metal tunes or writing and recording my own Satrianish music. I'd like to branch out and learn to fingerpick or play country tunes or play more acoustic stuff.
Is it just about learning different songs though? I actually bought an LP (I'm an Ibanez guy) so I could change up my writing a bit, a different guitar usually sends me in a different direction.
I thought about taking lessons with a talented local blues guy, just something to learn something new. I guess I'm really just talking about chordal stuff. I did the worst thing I could do for myself when I first started. I tried to learn Satriani stuff really early on and did not pay attention to chords and stuff until recently. While I know the open chord stuff and the closed barre chords, i don't know too many others, nothing exotic.
I know I should probably grab a chord book and start learning but learning with no context doesn't always stay in my head very long. I need direction, someone to guide me to make sure I dont wander off, that's my ADD talking
Thoughts on how to proceed?
Jeff
