Dani, begin with bluegrass and old time styles. Sorry, I couldn't help it. Actually, technique is where beginners start, right? The marriage of technique to songs is the part you are fretting (haha). Vocal techniques start with scales and arpeggios, then which songs to sing? I don't suppose you need to sing "Ave Mai Piu" (although I like the "di vegetabile" part, makes me hungry).

I guess you need either an instruction book that doesn't use the music you're not interested in playing, or marry technique to songs yourself, which I think is a lot harder, but do-able.

Hey guys, am I all wet? anyone have better advice?
