Hmm, i didn;t quite introduce myself huh? Well, my passion is to play guitar. I'm really bad at it though. I like playing video games a lot as well, but then again, i suck. I tend to be shy,and can't play guitar with others watching!

to the internet us "Bedroom Guitarists" can have a world audience without having to look at anyone.

My advice is to get yourself a good teacher. Or if your low on cash, or dont like creepy strangers, collect some guitar exercises online and practice them a little each day. Pay close attention to your techniques and go slow but try and make as few mistakes as possible, have fun.

As strangejam said, drop by the IRC channel (just click on "IRC!" on the forum page).

We're certainly used to helping teach some techniques, I've personally gone and streamed live on occasion.

This site has lots of classical style players including myself and also some great electric oriented players. So there's something for anybody.

Oh and one other sure thing that is GUARANTEED to make you improve. If you don't have one already
find an IDOL (a guitarist who inspires you to get better). I take it your a classical player, cant give you any suggestions since I'm born and bred electric. If your electric I'd recc. Kurikinton Fox, Mintjam (A2C), Hellman and Karimono they all have strong game music influences

Woa SpeedStar, you like

Very much so, favourites of the 2 are
Kfox - Clash on The Big Bridge, Overdrive, FFX
Hellman - Moonshade, Desert Eagle

Pretty bad news though I guess you heard, Fox has officialy retired.

One advice to improve: never trust people who tells that music theory is useless. learn the basics at least.

jajaja. I never thought there would be other "Bedroom Guitarists"and it makes me feel a bit better. ^^ Question to Speedstar. Why would you think i'm a classical player? I have an acoustic and electric guitar, and i enjoy playing hardcore!(Well, made up music actually. lol) I appreciate the advices given, and i'll try my best. Thank you surreal for telling me what IRC was. I was like, what the heck is that? =] Rexlerouge, i'll take that in mind. Many tell me i could skip over music theory, and me being lazy i listened to them! I have a question though. Obviously i'm a beginner, and i want to play like the pros, but my strumming sucks. However, i can use all my fingers to strum to melodies,so that means i can kinda play, just not the rock i want to play. What should i do? Oh. Sorry for writing so much!

sorry for the crappy answer but yeah, it comes like that: by doing the same stuff again and again and again...
Try to master strumming on basic full chords before trying more complex rythm.

and again, yeah learn music theory. I've been lazy before too and now it let me a bitter taste in the mouth :/

That was a crappy answer. jk.

strumming with your fingers is nice, but things like rock are generally played with picks

Buy a metronome and practice step by step, by increasing the speed
