Work In Progress
This post will be updated as I find new things for complete beginner to intermediate players
Continued from the Rocksmith thread....
I think it's been a couple of years now I've shied away from Rocksmith, it was great for the very beginning with progress percentages and scores to have a sense of achievement, and the scale dlc that they have not long released should have been part of the main 'game.' It was good to just load up and get straight into playing.. though I never learned how to play a chord with it as I went straight into lead playing.
Spin on 3 years, after spending a year learning chords, barre chords, the notes on the first two strings, etc.. and playing rhythm, and I found that I wasn't learning anything new from it, maybe due to the design of the game or my navigation.. but I did find that there were no strumming patterns or ways of learning rhythm in game, and you can pretty much just whack all the strings and it'll think you played the chord. So the last two years I've sunk into writing songs, playing about with my own rhythms and melodies and just learning songs with printed out chord sheets from ultimate guitar. I even got a highly commended entry certificate in the 'lyrics only' section of the uk songwriting competition, just one point off of a semi-final place.
I still have no idea how to put music to my own songs, but it's starting to come a bit and I'm learning how to play songs purely from youtube videos and ultimate guitar.. some youtube videos have a link to the chord sheet too.
I'd put together my own little list of sites for learning songs and songwriting from, which I still add to, some chord charts, chords in keys, etc.. and now working toward getting my songs finished, learning how to play and sing at the same time, then I'll be doing covers on YouTube and eventually live streaming on twitch.
I'm currently near Tammy's level from the series on Justin's YouTube, she's picking things up a lot quicker than I am, but that little series... stuff GoT or anything else, I can't wait for the next episode of Tammy's lesson's! I've learned a lot more from that little series than I have from a lot of sources!
Just a man with a dream, but you gotta dream right?

If you buy a piece of software called: Guitar Pro 7, you can choose that option from Ultimate Guitar too and download the song to play along with in the software at any tempo/speed you like. It's also a great tool for composing your own music.
Guitar Pro files also include a backing track/s for each song that allows you to mute the guitar part that you want to play, or solo so you can listen to that part specifically.
You are also able to remove the notation so just the tab remains and print anything you want to to learn from away from the computer.
