Hi, my name is Sean. I'm a new subscriber to online lessons and new to the forum. I've been learning guitar for about 3 years now, started with self teaching using justinguitar and whatever other online lessons I could find. I have picked up my guitar every day to practice and jam for as many hours as I can in that three years time, I just can't put it down. After about a year of self-teaching I started taking private lessons from a local player here in Baltimore for almost a year. My main reasons for in person lessons were to eliminate any bad habits I was forming and to improve on technique. Unfortunately my teacher had no plan. He's a good player but he'd just teach random stuff every lesson, he wouldn't even know what we were working on in the previous lesson. He just wanted to teach me tunes. The one thing he did help with was some theory stuff I was having trouble understanding.
Well I just happened to come across Pebber's name somewhere on Reddit so I looked him up and started watching a few vids. This is exactly what I was looking for so I immediately singed up. I am blown away by the depth of material Pebber has on offer here. I'm just starting to look at more material and have started with picking exercises and some left hand stuff. It's amazing because I already knew I sucked badly but after just trying some of the simple exercises I realized I sucked way worse than I thought. Just doing the spider exercises makes me see how retarded and weak my fretting hand is, I feel like an infant trying to become a beginner. Well, I'm really stoked about what I'm seeing here and I can't wait to improve my technique as is so desperately needed. Once I get my mind wrapped around the first modules I will post some technique vids to make sure I'm doing them correctly. Sorry for the rambling, just wanted to say hello! :) And I thank Pebber for waking my ass up to how bad I am! Peace!
