[Tricks]

Hi everyone, been reading and trying to learn off your forums for a couple weeks.
I must say, playing the guitar is hard work and takes some dedication, of which i'm trying to find the time to dedicate to.
I have always been a huge music fan, i mean almost every single genre, from Hardcore heavy metal to the blues, from metallica to steve earle, from Townes Van Zandt to skinny puppy. I don't care about labels, i just like what moves me. I got into heavy music certian groups of friends, as is how i got into techno, rap (very certain types though) new wave and even new age. My dad got me into rock, he was a huge rock fan, all the british music which sculpted rock and roll, like The beatles, led zeppelin, Rolling stones ..Etc... To blue grass, blues and even disco. I know alot about music and get calls to solve arguements about bands songs etc all the time from my friends. ( Although i still call my dad till this day for the big stumpers) Which is why i' alway seem to get embarrassed when people ask what instrument i play.
I played the trombone for a couple months when i was 15 and gave it up, but thats about the extent of my music abilities. I have been trying the true beginners lessons from this site and just wanted to say THANK YOU, I can almost pull off Knocking on Heavens door.
I am still having a hard time with switching chords but, i am pretty stoked that i can sometimes do it.
I do intend on getting lessons now, which i wouldn't have without this site, because i was afraid i would waste my money by not going to them(i have a bunch of useless exercise and other things iv'e spent money on which i never use) but by googling and finding this i have actually tried and have been progressing (slowly) to where i know, with effort i can learn this instrument.
So HI and THANKS for the lessons and a valuable forums.
Jeff.
