I would love to see a teaching section on this forum. I nominate Larry F for teacher. I'm just kidding Larry, that would mean a lot of work for you.
That's the one thing I think is really needed here. How we'd go about doing that I don't know. But a lot of us guitar newbs don't have the basics down. I've even found when getting guitar lessons that most instructors don't teach enough of this. I mean isn't it important to know scales, modes etc. I mean I don't want to be a lead guitarist (that would be cool to be able to do both), I like rythum guitar but I do feel it's necessary to be able to understand music and how it functions. Too much seperation between the two, in my opinion.
Do you guys think this would work and if so, any suggestions? Or maybe it's something that can't be done???
Even if we had every week a page/lesson/exercise taken from "Fretboard Logic". Maybe we could just scan it in???
Just a thought.

Scanning and posting copyrighted material is a bad idea, one that could create all sorts of headaches for Paul and the forum.

I don't mean to shoot down your original idea of regular exercises, from which we could all learn something; I just think that no one should use the TDPRI to violate copyright considerations.

Whoops!! I forgot about that little fact. Sorry for that Paul. Maybe the material could be collected and written out then????
I, by no means, would do any copying of copyrighted material. That's against the law.

My apologies as well, hugo. Reading my post again I probably sounded a bit snippy, which wasn't my intention.

The weekly exercise thing could work, but probably as different threads in this forum. There are, I suppose, several options: posting exercises; buying and working through the same book, such as Masters of the Telecaster (just an example), and then people could post problems they're having and perhaps suggestions to help others; and other, perhaps more practical, methods.

I think Justin Guitar is brilliant! I've learnt a lot of that guy by going to YouTube & watching his videos.
