so this is how you learn how to play guitar in 2025

after half an hour of analog video troubleshooting i have decided i will just use the dvd-rom drive

this book does of course also have the accompanying video content available for online streaming, it was published in 2016 after all, i just enjoy physical media

by the way i would like to direct a special “fuck you” to the people who legislated that macrovision copy protection has to be present on analog video, because i believe you're indirectly responsible for the playstation 2 not supporting rgb video out for dvd playback specifically

why does the standard numbering of guitar strings go from the highest-pitched string to the lowest-pitched string. this has always annoyed me

okay shitposting aside i think i already love the format of this book, ”Spela elgitarr från början”

the concept is: 35 real songs, arranged with notation and tab in a pedagogical order, with a CD containing guitar-free + full tracks for each, and a DVD containing video lessons

naturally there is a caveat to the “real songs” bit: the first five are simple things written by one of the authors. for example, the very first song has you play nothing but E and G on the low E string as single quarter notes. i'd be surprised if they didn't do this really

given i have technically been playing guitar for half a year, the first song is obviously piss easy, and i learnt almost nothing from the video for it.

but i am loving the format already because fully-arranged backing tracks with main guitar removed makes me itch to improvise!!!
