Hello everyone. Im well,kind of beginner,i used to play long time ago ,now i started again.
This time im following Justins course,and enjoying it so far,however my music intrest is mainly in rock ,ACDC Ozzy ,black sabath… so i find myself getting distructed in the middle of playing open chords,and start practicing power chords and solo.
Now im not sure if thats ok,or i really should follow all tje modules,and just get tjere when i get there?
Patients is not my strong side.
Hi Emile,
this abobe should be …
I wish you a lot of fun and I promise you that it will go faster and better if you do the lessons a little more in order, there is good and decades of knowledge preceded by Justin,

I tried and failed to learn guitar in the past and a big reason was that I was distracted by all of the fancy stuff, I learned a few riffs but riffs are pointless without a song to go around them.
I’m sure there are people who bypassed the basics and are now rock gods but personally I think you do need to have more patience. Perhaps a compromise might be to do your practice from the course and when you’ve done that, have a few minutes playing with power chords, but don’t neglect the basics
Yes following the modules and learning the basic WILL help you play AC/DC amd Black Sabbath etc. eventually. But also maintaining interest is important. I definatly mix it up, break up your practice time between learning the things you ‘should’ do and the things you want to do.
Your gonna get alot of excellent feedback from this one. Yes basics are important, yes you should have fun and a dirrection. Which you do from the sounds of things. On the right track brother!! The basics absolutely get you there!! Such as open chord power chords which AC/DC uses. I’m there now. But not without expecting too much too fast. Practice makes permanent so practice perfectly is a good mantra! And above all, please remember…Rhythm is King! You can flub things up, but if your rhythm is solid,most won’t have even notice. This will really help for your solo’s. Any excellent lead solo has pretty much bang on rhythm! Most importantly have love for your instrument and realize all these beginner items will adventually trigger little revelations…ah so that’s why this is a certain way…or even better…holy crap I can do it now!!! Such a great feeling!
Rock on!
Rock on!

Consider learning a song, start to finish. And do your song so it sounds like the song your wanting to do. By yourself.
You may even need to resort to recording the parts individually.
I find playing a whole song will keep me from being distracted as there are generally multiple parts to any song. So the distraction is to learn another part of that song until it sounds like music and not just rambling around the fretboard.
There’s something right there that will be beneficial. I find it takes a lot of patients to learn to play a whole song so it sounds like a song. Patients is a virtue and I find something to be learned.
When learning to play a guitar, you’ll need much patients since most folks aren’t just born knowing how to play a guitar.
It takes patients and practice to learn to play I think…
So great to hear that,this will keep me on track with lessons ,thank you so much for the support
Your very welcome.
