What should i practise on the guitar to get good?
ive been playing classical guitar for 2 years at my middle school, but there are no classes i can take in high school. From the way things are going, i think i might not get a private teacher. I want to get better on my electric, playing lead and rhythm blues,metal,rock, and maybe jazz, but i also want to contiue with my classical a little. Im just not sure what to practise on my own so i can be good and stuff.
This beginners (and improvers) course starts at the very beginning. After the first 10 lessons on basic chords and strumming you can move onto other areas – I usually teach things in roughly this order, to offer some variation, but feel free to mix it up a little and tailor it to fit what you want to learn. This is just a suggested progression.
It is very important that you understand that there are many ways to learn the guitar and there is more than one correct method. What I offer you here is a method that I have developed for teaching beginners over many years and I have found it to be effective. But it doesn’t mean any other method won’t work.
Learning songs is an important part of learning the guitar. You can either follow my advice and get into transcribing (working out songs off CD yourself) right from the start, or buy some books with many songs in it, or just use the internet to get free tabs. But be warned, many web tabs are completely wrong! There are many guitar methods on the web, some made there by students or beginner players and sometimes I have seen very bad advice offered for beginners on the web. So if not here, make sure you study with a reputable site.
If you have any questions I will be happy to answer them in the forum, please leave the questions there.
Take care and I wish you the best of luck.

oh, i can’t wait till all those pretentious "Top Contributors" and that one Berklee a$$fuk and that nasty a$$ hoe "mamianka" come on here and start spreading their gospel about getting lessons and not being able to be good without them and all that horse dung. (popcorn cooking)
i think you’ll be fine with a 2 year background.
WEHEW that there rayguita is sharp as a tack!!she said she might not be able to get a teacher thanks for stopping by though!! so much better than t.v.

That’s what I played and the only the only one I played. I got good at it. It goes like this. All day all night Mary Ann down by the sea side shifting sand. Thank you for asking me. Sincerely, Roland

To become better u gotta mix styles and techniques i have learned multiple techniques and im pretty good at them try just normal picking, flamenco guitar, or try some hybrid picking these techniques really help.
