I bought a new Martin a couple of years ago. Paid over $1500 for it thinking I would learn while my back heeled up. Back still hurts and Im no further along in my guitar playin than I was. Sure would be nice to learn, but no one around here teaches. When I try on my own it just sounds all wrong.

I really like Don Edwards. RW Hampton is my favorite though. I like the kind of music that I can sing with. Getting my voice and fingers all on the same wavelength though will take a miracle. My timing is all off.
I like just about all of the guys that sing in the cowboy genre. Couldnt tell you the last time I listened to country music on the radio. It's all crap nowadays. Red Solo Cup? Really?
I gotta get this Martin figured out. Had I bought a cheaper one, I would have gave up by now. The thing sounds awesome and it's pretty to look at. I'll keep pluggin away.

Here's the guy I learned a lot from this past spring. Go check out the other ones of his on the side bar also. No matter what music you want to play, you need to be able to play certain chord structures. I guarantee 15 minutes a day with these and in 2 months you will be shocked how much you have learned.
