1. How Should I Use Uncle Tim's First Year
Questions and Answers
How Should I Use Uncle Tim's First Year Here is what I would do.Read the first 30 pages of Uncle Tim's First Year and start playing scales today. Go over all the hand techniques shown in the book. Study them. Then every week go over one of the keys and play the scale and the six chords. Make this a part of your regular routine. Make it part of your foundation. Play other stuff too.Continue to work with your other material. But think about how the keys work and notice how they will make sense of the other books you may use. All this stuff is related and Uncle Tim's First Year should provide a foundation so when you study other material, you already understand the framework of music.Then continue to use Uncle Tim's First Year and build your mental foundation while you are building up hand strength. The combination is unbeatable. It will make you better as fast as anything can. Scales are the number one tool you have to explode as a guitarist. Once you are deep into Uncle Tim's First Year, then you can come back to the web site and look at other tools. But unless you need to see scales played or get more intense information, you already have what you need. You did the hard part, you bought the book, now go make your hands perform what is in them and get your head into the concepts. Did I mention how important it is to play scales? If you play them, you will start to answer some very intense questions that are probably running around your head right now.Does this help?
