[quote name='CocheseUGA']OK, so I decided I'm going to try to learn guitar for the third time. Unfortunately, the Altoids Amp I was working on last year doesn't work so well anymore.
So, I need to find/build another pocket amp, and I also need to figure out the best way to learn...for real, this time.[/QUOTE]
Find some songs you like, start trying to play them.
Fail miserably.
Figure out what techniques are used in said songs, practice those techniques till you're bored.
Try playing song again, note improvements.
Repeat.
That style of learning worked best for me. No point in learning techniques you're not gonna use. Learn stuff as you get to it.
I dunno what your stance on music is, but I play music for enjoyment, not to worry about, "OMG bend ur fingerz this way~~!! Pick like this!11"
If it sounds good and you have fun doing it, you're awwwwwright.
