just checked them out. There are tons of good ones. Thanks again...
Glad to help. That should keep you busy for a few months!
Meant to add that I use an app called ProTube, since it supports background audio when listening to YT videos. That frees you up to record or mess with your amp/effects.
few lifetimes. thanks for ProTube tip. checking on that now.
darn. Youtube forced Apple to remove Protube from the app store Sept. 1st!
Was unaware of that. There may be other alternatives on the App Store, but I haven't searched in some time.
B_ _T T_M _ ! will allow you to download, record, slowdown, and repitch material from YouTube. Apple have not yet gotten their slimy hands on it. 4.99 in the App Store.
B_ _T T_M _ ! ?
He's talking about this, censoring out of fear that Apple will catch on and remove it like so many other YouTube 'service' apps.

This thread is absurd . 50 million online guitar schools and YouTube vidoes. No shortage of information anywhere. I don't get it .
that's just it. too many possibilities.
By my favorite outlaw developer!
A folk hero for our times.
Just sit down and make love to it... there is no easy way, just the right way for each person.
That's because anatomy, age, time... is different.
BUT: The guitar will love you more each time you use it
Learn 3 chords and take it from there. More than 3 is just showing off, said Woody Guthrie
Thanks, I didn't know about this!
I'm the last person to ask about progressing on the guitar, been playing for over 25 years and Wonderwall is a stretch.
Well my 2 cents , lol.... keep it fun, dont be too hard on yourself, I'm not where I want to be on guitar either , I probably never will be but the more you turn it into work the more it will be. Dont forget the " play" in playing guitar, lol
Hey, there is this amazing interactive one-to-one realtime thing called 'a guitar teacher'....
Apologies for the sarcasm, but 3 pages of this thread and no one has mentioned this! Get a good guitar teacher to help you (as well as all the other stuff listed above which is admittedly cheaper). You can even do skype lessons now, but if you get an expert to listen and look at what you need, it could save you a lot of time.
I only had one guitar lesson, from my mate's mum while she was ironing. She told me two things which have stood me in good stead:
The first I think was really important, to the point where I used to practice at night with the lights out. The second is useful but something that is more down to taste.
I would add one more rule:
Not everyone can afford a teacher: I couldn't, for most of my life. When I could, though, everything accelerated.
Another accelerant: playing with someone who is farther along than you.
Doubleplus for that accelerant.
This too seemed absurd:

Get a good starter guitar....
Keep a guitar next to your chair. That's what speeded up my playing - it'd be next to my armchair and I'd noodle along to the telly adverts, and during other idle moments. Nowadays to avoid annoying Mrs Monzo I keep it next to my chair in the office - noodling while booting up the pc, waiting for stuff to download, playing along to something on the radio.
Sounds silly, but it becomes part of you, like an extra leg, and you concentrate more on what you're playing. Hendrix apparently had a guitar strapped round his neck at home all the time, he'd even noodle while in the kitchen cooking. Noodles probably.
Get a teacher. They can see exactly what your strengths and weaknesses are. They also challenge you. It's exactly like a physical trainer, in that there's a motivational aspect also.
The problem with do-it-yourself methods is the sheer vastness of info (major info overload). You hunt a peck to find your level, and most of it is bewildering. Add to that the zillions of 'genius/self taught' success stories, it's no wonder
progress is slow.
It used to be a teacher was the only real option. Sure kids can do the self taught thing, but a 64?
The statement 'as fast as possible', is a red flag, but this is a common request for many teachers, so they know how to go about it. Not recommended, but WTF

must be fun changing the strings
It takes time and patience and frustration but when you're way past the uncomfortable blisters on the fingers stage then hopefully inspiration comes.
Straight and simple it takes much effort like any thing else

What seems absurd to me is all the libraries with all the words and wisdom in them and humanity seems no better off as a result.> @CracklePot said:

I have been working with Joseph Alexander's books (Modern Guitar and Blues books) and they are superb. I love his philosophy and feel a lot of thought has gone into advancing quickly in the best possible way. This is perfect for me at this time! So thanks for the recommendation.
1- There is no easy way
2- Always always always play SLOW at first when you learn something
3- Playing songs is fun, but not so good for improving
4- Ask yourself if you want to have fun or be good
5- Focus on exercices that helps you practice a difficulty. Ex: I you want to practice skipping string, focus on that only with an exercice.
Don't forget to always start SLOW! When you play fast, you make mistakes and your brain will register these mistakes as part of the thing you want to play.
