If you were starting today, what’s the best way to learn?
Geek99 replied to Useless Eustace's topic in General Discussion
Theres also the minor point that learning vocabulary and concepts from a teacher will make understanding online videos much easier as you’ll have a better idea of what theyre trying to express -

A good teacher will cover hand technique, tuning, basic shapes. Your short scale will make this much easier -

Antibiotics are amazing. @Matt P is better now. The filthy infection has gone and he treads the path of the righteous man and woman by sticking to a great instrument and ditching the weedy things. If it were me, I’d take a few months of lessons to get confident. Online makes you sound great to you. As someone above noted, you have to sound good to other people to make tangible progress. when you can confidently tell strings apart, find notes and not think about which fingers to use, then consider online. think about it like this- if you were starting to drive cars, would online/only be a good option ? However once youre changing gear without thinking or looking down, you might want to consider hazard observation training or motorway skills but only a human teacher could get you there to that point -
Bq250 is a solid choice

Youre misunderstanding- I was joking that you must be a bass player mentally because you can do that stuff. Your average guitarist would not analyze their goal/progress in this way. “It’s loud” and “where’s the fuzz pedal?” Being the extent of must of their musings. -

The mere fact that he’s even asking this question shows he isn’t a secret guitarist the use of grammar and punctuation are also strong indications 👍 -

Yes I had one of those and the pickups were terrible. Beware that they might be the same size as each other though, which was normal on early Mex but a pain for pup replacements -
Agree next it’ll be “well I didn’t mean to buy when I went in, and someone else actually paid though I did give them the money…”

It’s still a purchase, whether or not nostalgia is involved. off with his head …

To be fair, it’s deviance by proxy as it wasn’t his.
