There are so many sites , and if like me you are continually searching for info, the advice on those sites differ greatly. For beginners it is a minefield of right or wrong.
Or is it, as i suspect, a matter of what you find easier for you.
It's amazing that there is so much info out on the 'net. No doubt it's confusing. Being able to communicate how to play the git is one thing, but then there's the aspect that there's no right way to learn. There are paths, and to determine the 'correct' path is not going to happen. It's almost a matter of 'experimentation' and, dare I say it, some sort of trust.

I guess I'm a little biased, but I really believe that to avoid confusion we contributors here at GfB&B will give you all the info you need! If it's not there, please just ask. We'll get ya going in a good direction. Tell us what you want to learn!

Becoming a great guitarist has less to do with fancy moves than it does becoming a master of the basics and learning musicianship.
It's not what you can't do. It's how you play what you already know.
