Anyone can play guitar.

Can they hell!

Very hard to master IMO.I've been practising for 2 months
now,and i've got quite far.I know a lot of people find it
hard,but I found it even harder,mainly becuase I don't
really listen to guitar based muisc,apart from,Sigur
Ros,Radiohead,Floyd ect.
But I found after learning the basics of guitaring,my
musical tastes have changed.It brings a whole new light on
music being able to create it yourself.
Has anyone else noticed learning to play a certain
instrument can change the way you listen to things?

definitely!!! I used to only listen to punk back in the day
(don't ask me why) after learning to play (to be in a punk
band) I started listening to more complex stuff like Led
Zeppelin which over the years lead me to Aphex somehow....I
understand completely

Thats how I got into Floyd.

I actually appriciate good guitarists,like Clapton,or
respect rather.
I've become rather open minded on the matter.

I learnt classical guitar but got so sick of it by the end
that gave up listening to anything that remotely sounded
like convential scales and chords etc for a long time..I
fell into the arms of Sonic Youth and Noise...

hmmm Im just learning how to play classical but I think I
understand what you mean flea, sometimes it starts to sound
all the same

I haven't got as far as Classical yet.I'm just trying to
grasp the basics of Jazz,fuck its hard.But to help I'm
learning how to read music,first.

Damn sounds familiar...
Jazz is difficult to play
A friend of mine is a jazz major and some of the stuff he
plays is insane

Learning to sight read helps
if you need any help let me know and Ill tell you what I
know

I dunno, there's that bass player (in some rock band I
forget which one...)who only has 3 hands on his chord hand
and none on the strumming hand :)

I play about 0mins-5hours a day.
I still can't get radioheads-lucky just right,but I can do
much more compliacated stuff.
I was thinking of trying bass,but I haven't got that kind of
rythm needed.
I play electric,but I can't play acoustic at all.Shame.

i was told to lean to play the accoustic first because its a
lot harder to play, i.e., harder to dampen and fret the
strings. and it turned out to be right.

I know i've done it the wrong way around.My guitar teacher
even says so,and moans at me all the time.

I need to get a little faster at chord switching too,I
focused to much on lead work.
Actually I think i'm off to practise now.

yeah I started electric myself...difficult change to make to
accoustic

classical is kicking my ass right now because of the larger
fret board and nylon strings

Nah. Piano dude here. Never liked those campfire dudes i
know and hate. kind of put me off guitar! But i know some
real talented guys, but they all play metal! is it like that
or what? The technically best guitar players are drawn to
metal? hmm. anyway, i personally feel that my piano lessons
have given me a lot of understanding of music, and that has
brought more appreciation with it too! (well, also basic
knowledge of music theory, note reading and so on.)
So nothing wrong with learning something! it wont destroy
you.

I agree with you there, Priest - I too am a piano player
foremost, and I know a lot of theory and techniques because
of it :) God bless it!

Piano is an awesome instrument I agree
I love the sound it makes
But listen to Julian Bream if you want to hear some
incredible guitar work (that is if you like classical)

About using "dude" don't stress it I say "damn it" way too
much I'm noticing

Most good guitarists are drawn to metal 'coz thats were the
moneys at.
Theres not alot of money in classical,but I know there are
people out there who don't play guitar professionally(band)
who are exellent artists.
Same as most instruments/genres I suppose.

I'm playing the guitar for about 10 years now. Learned most
from some songbooks (if there were only the internet then
with al those tabs :) ). If you can grab some chords
already, you can play a bunch of known songs.

I took lessons for 3 years, but I was the worst student...
I'd never bother to learn scales or notes, or how to read...
most of the time I just went there and jammed with my
instructor. I might not have put any effort into learning,
but it was alright with him because we were both into the
same shit, wheras most of his other students were tools that
wanted to learn how to play Green Day or Blink 182. Anyone
truly CAN play guitar if they just want to play some of that
stuff.

review of your post:

"Anyone can play guitar."

uh, are you trying to make a statement that anyone can play
a guitar, or trying to ask if anyone here can play a guitar
or what?

"Can they hell!"

Wtf?

making their legs to chirp.
