Thanks all for the good advice.

I tried it, and it sounded like crap...Oh wait. Thats not the guitar!

Download some backing tracks to play the scales with. Its not boring when you "play with the band". Heres a couple of (free) sites that have everythin...

This ones almost identical. I feel better now, even if I gotta hang it on the wall.

Thanks for the links. I'll check into it.

I forgot....The backtrax do make practice fun as hell. Here's a good free site for backtracks. A few even have the vocals. ...

You made a good point Sleutelbos. Just starting, and being 44 years old, I think i'm trying to cram to make up for time.

Thanks Boogie
