How long did it all take to Click????

This is where we should point out that John Frusciante quit playing guitar for 5 years and came back and sold more than 10 million albums.

You two are more than helpful, thanks!

Didnt he record two solo albums in that perid?

he did. they're great but no one bought them. I have them, though.

Yup, same as with Syd Barrett, people only know the stuff he did with Pink Floyd. John's solo work, espescially the earlier ones, are not very accessible but they're great nevertheless.

we must be cooler than average, arjen!!!

If you bought them, then SOMEONE obviously did buy them!

:D :D :D

I agree with everyone here, I also think you can "click" with each chord you nail down. I remember,and I'm sure a few others as well, finally getting the "F" chord! It was something small,but now I was able to learn songs with the F chord. you have to crawl before you can walk, and you have to walk before you can run!!

Enjoy the ride!!

My Guitar teacher has given me a song going from a g to a f, i can see that it is going to take some practice.. :x

Try this one Chuck
The chords to Freebird are not hard and sound really nice.
something like this

G, G
D, D
Em, Em, pause, Em, pick open strings high e, b, g
Em
F, F
C, C
D, D, Dsus (hold the D chord but drop your pinky where it is (on third fret of e string))
D
repeat

I've been playing guitar for about a month (I played bass for about 4-5 months) and I can play chord to chord smoothly (2-3 hours of practise per day). I think when your in that focus where you want to learn you will learn something, and it feels good knowing you've just broke another barrier. I dont consider myself talented, but I can set my mind to something and make proper progress.

So for me, a month in and I'm playing as good/better than friends with about a years experience. I think it depends on the person and their drive.
