Thanks to this thread I’ve picked up my guitar again.
Couple of years ago had some lessons every other week and playing and understanding came on pretty well.
Also learnt some chords when at school and tried to play like xxx.
Fast forward to lessons and I decided to just be able to noodle and not learn any songs.
If I want to learn a so g I get the tab. Most of the time j just muck about
Biggest tip was using backing tracks to play against. Also pentatonic and blues scales are the only two I know. But could work out others at a push.
Also found a ditto pedal really helped. To look my own backing to then solo over the top.
Have fun!
