OK, I'm teaching myself to play the guitar, but 4 some reason I'm still not getting very much better... and it's pissing me off, for someone whose already trying to get members for her band. Does anyone have any strategies to get me playing better? I mean, I lack the cash for lessons, I have only the cash for guitar books, equipment, and hopefully (sometime soon) an electric guitar so I can have an electric and acoustic at my disposal. I'd appreciate advice.. thanks

I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

Barre chords are just a diffrent way of playing chords they're all basically the the same shape just moved up and down on diffrent frets, which changes the note......him could one of you real guitar pros offer a better description for her, or maybe a picture?

from experience, definetly hold out on the band thing unless you want to be the singer/rythm guitarist and are able to find a more experienced player for lead guitar. especially if you have small and/or weak hands because it will probably take you longer than the average male to learn to play; barre chords will be a particular problem. you will get frustrated and calloused so don't expect to become a pro overnight, even if you play for hours every day. it takes time and patience. most people i know played for at least 2 years before joining a band, just keep that in mind. i know you want to start one now but you're only like 14 right? trust me, you have time. at least you're starting at a relatively young age.

Easiest? I never thought one barre chord was tougher than another. Its all the same...just wait till the seventh chords start.. and then the fingerpicking...and then the fast picking...
or some other order...

I don't bother with sevenths yet. Yikes.
