Q. I am 16 years old in grade 11. I really want to learn how to play an instrument, (i have played piano, violin and baritone in the past) especially the guitar. I am a fairly quick learner. Would it be worth learning, or will it be a long time before I am able to play anything worth playing? Thanks :)
A. hmm....everyone does learn at a different rate but if you learn fast......then with the right sources you'll be able to play some pretty good stuff within 3 months. i dont know what kind of music you want to play but i learned all of stairway to heaven, crazy train , and i made a song that sounded great on the acoustic all in under 3 months. BUT.....playing guitar, was literally all i did for those 3 months. I'm a quick learner myself because im persistent with it. You could probably learn to play a third of the Offspring's songs in a matter of 4 days if you're persistent with it, because its all mostly power chords as is most punk/pop punk music. this is also something that will help you pick up your knowledge of the guitar really fast if you study it. http://www.guitaralliance.com/guitar_lessons/discover_the_fretboard/notes_on_the_fretboard.htm
its a list of all of the notes on the fret board. DO NOT LEARN SCALES. learn this, its all of the scale put together, but by learning this, and not just all of the scales at different times, you will learn EXACTLY where every note is on the guitar. To find A-minor on that chart you just look between A and B. Also.....if you are not willing to suck up every bit of information you can get and study hard at it you will never become a good guitarist and you'll be stuck with power chords for the rest of your life. Trust me, its a lot of work at first, but once you get going with it you dont want to stop. if you have any more questions you can e-mail me at justmadethis123@yahoo.com

Q. can someone tell me how to play the intro of the who song Pinball Wizard.
A. http://www.guitarplayer.com/article/youre-playing-it-wrong-pinball-wizard/150920
Read this article and then use this page to find how to play the chords on piano.

you would have to do some quick staccato playing to simulate the fast guitar strumming of the intro and rhythm.
What's the Best Way to Teach Yourself Piano?
Q. I can play several instruments already, but I just heard John Schmidt's "Hymn of Nature" and decided I want to make a real attempt at piano. What's the best way to teach myself? I'm an extremely quick learner and can pick up any instrument fairly easily. What are good programs targeted towards adults/fast learners, or at least some good songs to learn that teach basic chords and playing styles?
A. I am mostly self-taught. I think a good way is to find someone who plays chords either on the piano or guitar and listen to chord changes until you can recognize them. Then try picking out tunes on the piano. Also you can get charts that show how to play the chords and chord inversions. The way to learn to read sheet music is just to practice a lot. If you already read music for other instruments, it should not be hard to apply that knowledge to the piano, but it might take time to learn to read several notes instead of one note at a time.
