Where should i start with guitar?

Question

I've been playing guitar about a year now but only accoustic and some electric, i've been wanting to move on to lead guitar but dont know where to start. I know how to read tabs and stuff like that but where should i start with learning lead? please give a detailed answer

Answer 1

scales and chords. they develop your dexterity very well. learn the basic "cowboy chords", then move on to movable chords. learn tha major scales and the pentatonic scales. I recommend using these sites for details.

Answer 2

Go on YouTube and look for Siggi Mertens. He is brilliant! You can download from there to your P.C. and learn at your leisure.

Answer 3

what the first answerer said

and

forget the TAB

learn sheet music

TAB will take you no where

especially if you wanna be a lead guitarist

if you wanna compose your own music

then here is where you should really forget the TAB

and learn a little bit about music theory

Answer 4

If you are too old for music school, then consider getting private lessons. The best thing to do is to get a teacher because you will learn faster and you will learn correctly [ technique, etc. ]

Being a musician myself, I wish you the best of luck! :D
