Hello everyone,

I really want to learn electric guitar. My favorite electric guitarists are BB King, SRV, Buddy Guy, Eric Johnson, David Gilmour etc.

How difficult is it for a fingerstyle player to learn electric guitars and be able to play Blues Solo? I only play with thumpick and three fingers and never learn to play with a pick. And I am very new to scales etc. I personally feel that learning online lessons could be a better option then going to private classes…Anyone here knows a good source for online lessons for beginners interested in electric guitars.

I applaud your decision to go online. A good source to learn electric guitar for beginners is hotstrings.
This is a cool new and fast beginner course without notes. Here you learn a short version of the basic elements of playing the guitar. The crash course has 30 daily lessons of different song styles such as rock ballads, pop songs, reggae, modern pop, funk and soul. Direct downloadable to your pc.

Hi karlose

WELCOME to the forum,
and thanks for your post.

Thanks for your initial post.
At the end of the day it's all down to practice.
You're lucky in one aspect, as your play fingerstyle,
as I know many pick guitarists, who'd like to play like that!

There are many guides to playing guitar,
and the link above, is as good a start, as any!
Private lessons are expensive, and I find somewhat limited.
The teacher has to be every good, if they
are to teach you well, as in most cases,
you will only end up, as good as they are!

so... how did you get on with your guitar learning? or was this another load of spam shit? lol
