    My name is Luis, I'm from Mexico and I'm 26 years old.

    I started to play the guitar since I was 15-16... Sadly, I do not play like someone who has been playing for 10 years I stopped playing around 5 years ago due to the university and other personal matters.

    And after 5 years here I am. Learning (almost) from scratch and going back to something that once made me happy!
    This time I want to do things right and learn basic music theory, do exercises instead of just learning songs and actually practice with a metronome

    Syn is one of my favorite guitarists so it feels really nice to be here.


    See you around!

    Welcome to the school Luis! Glad to have you here! It's good to hear you have decided to pick up the guitar once again. Like Calvin said start out from the very beginning to setup a solid foundation for your playing. Once you get through a few lessons and pick up a couple of riffs your muscle memory may kick back in and you'll be back to where you were when you set the guitar down in no time! If you have any questions feel free to ask away! This is by far the friendliest and possibly the most helpful forum I've come across.

    Welcome to the Family!
    I totally know that Feeling! I've been playing since almost five years and I could be soo much better by now.
    BUT If you really want it you found the perfect Plattform to improve immensly!

    My Tip: start from lesson one and Spend some time with each, maybe make a Video about some Lessons and how you apply them and ask questions. This is an amazing community and getting Feedback is an important aspect of improving

    Yesterday I started the beginner's lessons and since my theory knowledge is not that great I'm actually learning a lot :3

    What do you already know?

    Talking about music theory... I only know some major and pentatonic scales. I also learned how to build chords but never practiced it.

    About guitar technique, I think I have most of the beginner/intermediate stuff covered. Things like palm muting, alternate picking, hammer-ons, pull-offs, bends, pinch harmonics, etc. I never got into advanced stuff like tapping and/or sweep picking.
