Learn how to play the guitar

Having taught myself, I often rue the fact that I did not learn how to play guitar in a more structured way. Unable to afford lessons, I borrowed a book from the library and practiced the scales and chords until I could play them without thinking about it. The result was that I developed a distinctive style of playing because of a lot of bad habits. Don't get me wrong -- learning the chords and scales is enough if you practice like mad. But if I had started out with some idea of proper chord fingering, picking, and so on, I'd be a totally awesome guitar player, not just the distinctive one that I am. As it is, unlearning 25 years of bad habits is proving difficult, but I'm giving it my best shot.
