I've been playing bass for seven and a half months now, and I'm really fond of my teacher, Aaron. He's very laidback, encouraging and an all-around awesome dude. Who inspired/taught you the most? If you can, post their picture here!  You rock, Aaron!!! heart

You're lucky tho (in a way), I've never had a formal guitar instructor. Are you learning any theory?

HA! Wait til you get chord construction...its like reading advanced mathematical equations. No really.
The two main things that helped me learn some of the theory is 1. Take it slow...don't move on until you've understood the topic at hand. (Other wise you'll get cluttered with questions and no answers). Sometimes I had to read some stuff VERY SLOW and repeatedly to finally make sense of it. 2. Know the difference of learning something on paper and something in practice (example; pitch intervals, notating guitar playing techniques, ect)
Most important of all tho end every session with just jamming and playing what sounds good. Too many people get wrapped up in the theory and lose the whole idea of what music is. I don't rely heavily on theory anymore because I decided to play from the heart/soul and not be bound by rules aka theory smile If you need help though just ask and I can prolly help.

Well, we start with theory and stuff, then Aaron listens to a song that I bring in and teaches me how to play it. Occasionally I look something up on my own and show him myself, which I always enjoy smile

I've had lessons in theory and in advance maths, so believe me when I tell you, theory is piss. Lol. But seriously I found theory really easy to grasp. Thing is I found it really interesting and enjoyed learning about it, so I guess that helped a lot. My main influence is the Deity that is Mr John Anthony Mutha Fuking Frusciante.  Or if it comes to acoustic it's Justin King hands down (not that I don't love JF's acoustic stuff).

I took lessons at this place on Long Island called Monster Music. Mike D is cool teacher, plus if you dont feel like practicing one week he'll probably forget what you wer supposed to do if nothing reminds him lol. No but D Amato is cool.

But if you have the two classes theory and advanced math, then anyone could make sense of it. Not really a shocking revalation there. Its like saying yeah I can rewire your whole house AFTER I take alllll the classes I need to know what to do. But then again maybe you're a self proclaimed prodigy child. I'm no prodigy so theory didn't come as second nature to me. I did end up making sense of it, but I wouldn't go around telling people its simple.
Oh and to the girl taking lessons-you should be the one to remind your teacher that you had to practice, otherwise you aint getting any benefit from the classes and you (or your parents) are just wasting your money.

My main influence is probably this guy:
<******** killer riffs.
And I take lessons one half-hour a week at a local music store called Herreid's Music.
My teacher is Dan Frost:
He's an amazing guitarist, and if you want to hear an original from his band, The Dan Frost Confluence, you can check out the multimedia on my profile.
