So, I bought my very first guitar yesterday at the ripe age range of my early 30's. I'm opting out of paid classes, but invested $500 in a guitar that was assured to me to be long lasting and solid for my entire life. No small chunk of change for something that's a pretty paperweight.
What would everyone's suggestion be to actually getting into learning?
I WILL self-teach, and youtubes been great for basics (strumming, posture, chords) but what about things I'm seeing online, like chord progression, or when I listen to music and you audibly hear ONE string plucked.. there's nothing like that described when learning. I understand PRACTICE, and I will be. I'm driven to give an hour a day towards this but I just think some defined direction would go a very long way. Some milestones to hit, some tests to prove to myself.
