Any experienced guitar players have advice on how to learn better?
I played very little in highschool and now, 15 years later, I have the urge to go back to it. I've been playing for an hour or so most days for the last month which I know isn't a lot but lets be honest, it's just for my own enjoyment, I have no illusions of being a middle aged rock star.
Anyway I was wondering if people had any advice, good resources, sheet music that isn't garbage?
In my position would you go the self taught route or is it really important to have a tutor? I'm particularly concerned about picking up bad technique and then practicing that, I feel like that was a big part of why I gave up in the first place - fucking up the same things no matter how many times I did them because I learned them wrong.
Thanks all.
I never liked “this machine kills fascists” on a guitar because it’s not a machine it’s a fucking guitar. It’s an instrument “this guitar kills fascists” or “this instrument kills fascists” is better than a machine.
When I was grabbing the image I saw an article that explained the backstory and Guthrie first saw the phrase painted on a lathe in a weapons factory in NY during WW2.
The article posited that the point was that the folk revival was something that came out of and was shaped by modern, industrial society, rather than being a traditionalist movement that longed for some idealist vision of an agrarian past. Not a rejection of modernity but a fusing of modernity with more human centric values. I dunno, I think it's cool even if it doesn't make literal sense.
It has also given us "This machine makes folk music" written on guns which is just a stellar bit
