Hi, my name is Ken.
Hi my name is Ken, I've never played a guitar before yesterday. I recently quit my job (to become a full time student)... I decided, to follow my childhood dream to become a doctor (oodles of school, but I'll manage)... With my new found conviction I also decided to follow another childhood dream, and that is to learn to play the electric guitar. So here I am, green as can be. Since school occupies the majority of my time, and all my funds go towards it, I don't think it's fiscally wise for me to invest in lessons. With this said, I've decided to teach myself, using, books, interactive media, and pretty much anything I can get my hands on (I'm a pretty good study)... Some may think this as foolish... but Jimi Hendrix trained himself... and he's a god (not trying to compare myself to Jimi... just trying to make a point)... I wonder if anyone who is even remotely good with the guitar (was self trained themselves), if you are reading this, what methods did you apply to the maddness?

Welcome to the forum Ken and good luck with your studies (both academic and musical). There's no doubt that someone can teach thmself to become a good player. Set yourself some realistic goals and structure your practice towards those goals. When you've achieved them set some more. Most of all have fun.

The GfB&B Guitar Slide Rule
Download the PDF of the 'Guitar Chord Slide Rule', print it out, fold it together and you'll have at your disposal a very neat tool that will not only show you all the positions for the main flavors of chords, but will also teach you a very important lesson about how the guitar works... It consists of a folded sleeve and six double sided inserts, instructions for cutting it out and folding it together are included with the PDF ... it's very simple to do, and if you botch it, you can simply print it out again!
