Well, I think the Bill Brown stuff is pretty popular, but he sort of
does the method you said you didn't like, doing songs or runs and such.
If you want an instructor, you could check out music stores around
there, they might teach you just what you want to learn.
I don't know how advanced you are on the guitar, but baring anything
else, I had done remote lessons
and if it's cords and some scales you need, orsome technique, I could
step up to the plate and try and help you get a bit further down the
road, there are also tabs and guitar resources all over the net, and
books, take your pick.
I admit this sort of thing works better in real time, but a good phone
system and hands free could work too.
And I'll give you a good rate, you couoldn't put me in Eddy Van Halen
class of guitarist, but I can certainly hold my own, and it might be fun
and challenging.
Are you wanting to learn electric or acoustic?
If you want to build up hand strength and stamina, I think acoustic is
good.
If you don't care about theory so much as feel, or learning riffs, and
listening to stuff and trying to do what they do, and having stuff
recorded, so you can review later, that's how i teach.
But aside from a shameless plug for a gig 'grin', your best bet is
probably to find a good local teacher.
he could watch your technique, like if you were here, I could see or
feel what you were doing with your hands,
and this kind of thing is harder to do remotely.
Not impossible, but a good local teacher could make sure your not doing
anything that might hinder you.
But in a way, whatever works isright.
Look at all the guitarists that played wrong that made it bigt?
Good luck man.

Hey guys, so I'm thinking of picking up the guitar again, and was
wondering if anybody had some audio material or knew of a good place
where I can get started? Here's the thing, I don't want a thing where
they teach you a song or teach you chords by teaching you little songs
or whatever. I'd rather be given the tools and go doing my own
building. This is how I teach my students when I teach piano, and it's
more effective than teaching specific things; so if I can find some
site or audio tuts that will teach me scales and how to create cords
etc, that'll be what I'm looking for! I know music theory and all
that, took classical training and all, so don't need that either. Just
need to refresh my memory on what I started learning a few years ago...
Any ideas/suggestions?
THX, D!J!X!
