i am a new member forgot to introduce myself sorry.i am 61 and out of work for 1 year . so spare time filled by improving my guitar skills , by youtube and free guitar chords.I also started up my own website . clivelombari.wordpress.com mainly about old photos of my village and women celebreties/sportswomen. that is how I designed a new concept for hitting the right notes on the fretboard. Don't know if anybody had done it before.I think it works gr8. I have only just marked up my fretboard.and started using my new concept.

Nobodytoldme....Hi welcome to the forum.......Regarding your idea........Stop right there pin yer ears back and listen ...

You are dealing with intellectual property.. you are, and i mean no offense, a small fish trying to swim in very big pool......

You have to protect you idea in the correct manor.......before you go around on the internet....Although you are not aware you are doing yourself potential damage, if ever there was a breach of your confidence or if you where to apply for a patent.....

First things first...Remove any information off the net and then forget you put it there.......

Then.....protect you idea...stick around as i can help the cost is 500 post on the forum.....

Although i am not a solicitor i am fully qualified in all aspects of intellectual property law.....

I`m a new member (59), and have been thinking about how guitar is taught by teachers, or by books, and I can`t find any that show any signs of having anything based on good educational theory, such as the Learning Hierarchy, which basically says that accuracy should come before fluency (i.e. don`t worry about speed, until you can play the chords / licks accurately). My last tutor tried to move me on much too quickly, and I got very dis-illusioned, until I realized what he was doing.Very interested in your method - tell me more( if that`s OK ).Thanks.

this is where the metronome comes in..learn to play something first correctly and accurately at a comfortable tempo..doesn't matter how slow..then ..increase the tempo of the metronome gradually ensuring that you can still play correctly and accurately ( of the same piece of music ) ..the rate of progression depends on the motivation to practice of any particular person

ps make sure you've got some strings and dots on your guitar

polly is right slow and steady.......plying slow is the only way to build speed.
