Re:New Strings
<r>Two things to look for in changing strings. The first for me is that the guitar becomes harder to tune. Older strings as they deteriorate are jsut harder to tune. If you're relatively new to the guitar the inability to notice strings not in tune with each other may not be obvious, even with a tun...

Re:All over the road
<t>Certainly, if you can't stay focused on one or two songs and master them to your level of ability, then a teacher would certainly give you that discipline. I believe the guitar is 10% teaching 90% practice. When the practice becomes fun, then you've arrived. <br/> <br/> I know doing repetitve dri...
