Anyone ever used Yousician to learn guitar basics?
As a 50+ learner I know it will be slow going but looking for something to help me along.
They have a Black Friday promo for 1/2 price but any lived experience of them would be valuable before I drop 45 notes on it.
TIA
@ceruleanbagel The biggest problem with any app or online instruction is that it can't see what you're doing. There are physical holes to step in at the beginning that can really hold you back. If you can get even just a few sessions with an experienced teacher who can guide your physical approach, everything else will come much more easily.
@t_heislen thank you.
I have had about 12ish lessons from a tutor so I've got the basics about finger placement and some of the more common pitfalls. Sadly that fellow has had to retire due to ill health so I'm looking for something online to keep me moving.
It's more a thing to do other than sit in front of the box, I've no aspirations or illusions of becoming a virtuoso.
@ceruleanbagel In that case, whatever inspires you to play! Generally, things that lead to you songs will sustain better than things that are focused on drills - there's a way of choosing song-based material that still can create a progression of learning. The occasional technical drill is ok, but making music is more inspiring! The first rule is have fun - no one calls it working music - play!
