Hi Mike D, I would ask around locally for a good teacher. It always helps when starting to have someone who can work directly with you. That's my best advice. Thanks, Duke
Yes Steve, That is the original version with Fenton Robinson on guitar. Duke
Hi Mike, Thank you! I am happy that it is helping you. Please help us spread the word! Thanks, Duke
Mike, have you checked out Truefire? Just like here, a monthly fee gives you access to everything on the website and every course includes pdfs of tab and jam tracks. The combination of that website and this one has improved my playing immensely and they have lots of courses for beginners and intermediate players.
Thanks Duke,
Here's one I found on YT.
Is this the Fenton Robinson version?
Duke,
You are way ahead of me. I'm 58 and just getting back into guitar. I had a year of lessons back in high school. What is the best method for me to learn the guitar again? Any online teachers or programs that you can recommend that will get me up to speed as fast as possible? I don't want to be a concert guitarist. I just want to play country and blues.
Thanks,
Mike
