So I've been trying to learn guitar and I think I'm stuck.

I've learned a few simple songs but I feel like I need to practice other things.

How did you learn guitar, and in what order? Any guitar players wanna help me out?

Thanks Flood.

no it's "its got to go" you wouldn't say the "it is got to go" would you?

1.) Picking

2.) Fingering

3.) Chords

4.) Notes and Lines

You don't want to start off by learning songs. It'll be way harder if you don't have a solid base to learn off of.

Seriously though OP. Learn some scales and do finger exercises.

Is strumming really that difficult? You're raking your fingers or a pick over the strings in order to play chords.

When you first start playing you need to practice strumming up and down. Especially up as it is more difficult when starting.

Edit: It isn't difficult but you need to learn how to do it properly first.

If I drank that much coffee I would cry decaf.

I just found something simple to play and just built off that. Practice, man. A lot.

Also, try and play as many different types of music as you can.

Alt account #4 because i can!

what i do: practice a song that is too hard for you to play. but, keep doing it. once you can do it at half speed, pick a harder song.
