GuitarJim Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Hi all, I'm from the USA , New York. I used to play as a young teenager 50 years ago but life got in the way so I put my music an the way side. I have a couple of vintage guitars, a early 60's Jag in excellent condition and an early 60's ES-125 in excellent condition. I also have a Titan 3 amp in excellent condition. I lost my mind to a 2021 Les Paul 60's Standard Bourbon Burst and took ownership yesterday. Please understand I'm not bragging just sharing my gear. So I have plenty of gear, just no skills! I remember some stuff but have a long way to go. Any suggestion how to re learn this amazing instrument? Thank you in advance and be safe!

jdgm Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Hi Jim and welcome Like the sound of that ES-125 - my vintage!! These days there is so much on youtube that learning is potentially a lot quicker than in the old days. And enjoyable. I use a computer auto-accompaniment program (Band In A Box) for practice which is an incredible resource, and the sort of thing we could only dream about back then. E.G. If I just search for 'guitar chord shapes' - this is with Google - https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=guitar+chord+shapes IMO re-learn primarily via songs and the 12-bar blues sequence and variations. 🎸 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
