To improve the discussion, I just thought I'd point out a GLARING ERROR.

It's NOT an acronym; It's a mnemonic.

(Acronyms substitute letters for words, not vice versa.)

Still, I appreciate their cleverness AND their value (as mnemonics).

[A good name]

Hm... The one thing I've noticed I have a big problem with is I can't read notes or tab (notes because I'm too lazy for all the theory). I have to have someone show me exactly how to play it. I'm terrible at translating guitar tab into actual music.

[lawizeg]

[runerocks15]

this is a great idea, good for not-even-beginners like me taking a high school guitar class.

[fegundez1]

excellent,doing this one able at a time is a good idea.Those who dont know how to play will appreciate going one step at a time,no info overload.

[blugyblug]

Looks like part 2 will be pretty good, you should probably put all your guitar ibles into one ible

[lawizeg]
