I just pulled the trigger on an Eastman MD-505 from TheGuitarStore.com today. It won't be here for a week or so because I'm having them put a pickup in it and the one Brian recommended is out of stock.
I taught myself guitar in a vacuum years ago (no YouTube, no instructor, etc.). I picked up some bad habits along the way. Some I had to work hard to correct later and some I just live with even now (I've never seen anybody else make an open G chord the way I do but it works for me).
So, are there any folks with "instructional" youtube videos that you would recommend highly, or any that you would urge me to avoid? (You can reply privately for the latter if you don't want to dis somebody publicly.)
If there are some really good DVDs that get directly to the point feel free to recommend those, as well. I did see a YouTube clip that someone posted here of someone (Jim Marshall?) talking about hand position - that's the kind of direct technique information I'm looking for. I bought tons of video tapes and books when I was learning guitar and bass and most of them collected dust because they spent too much time covering theory and stuff I already know.
Thanks for your help and patience - I've only been hanging out here a couple of days but y'all seem like a decent lot!
John
