Here are some tips that will ruin your chances of becoming a good guitar player:


1) buy a nylon string guitar

2) practice only 3-finger 'pattern picking' as done by Peter, Paul & Mary

3) never go past the third fret: "nothin' up there anyway"

4) eschew the study of music theory: "I'm so good now I don't need to study!"


These tips will keep you mediocre for at least 35 more years.
