Learning Methods: How do YOU approch the guitar?

Post by jb3.1 »

Greetings!

I'm but a humble noob to this forum so I'll give u some background info. Been playing about 9/10 years and recently got interested how people approach the guitar, in terms of their learning process.

I'm doing a bit of research on it at the moment for a project. If you fancy helping me out and taking part please click here:

http://www.kwiksurveys.com/online-surve ... I_cd9f586d

It's only 10 questions and will take no more than 2 mins to do.
Once I've got a decent amount of results I'll post my findings here so if any of you guys are interested you can see the results

Some of the questions might be a bit tricky to answer, so if you have any problems/ other thoughts just pop the in the 'Any Further Comments' box at the end of the questionnaire.


Cheers dudes! :cool:

I didn't check it out, but I'm glad people helped you.
For me guitar is a personal thing and if I can learn from others that's great, but it's been over 40 years since that happened. Of course, we youtube, but I haven't checked it out much
