I did.
Well, my friend had been playing for about a month, and then he got me interested and we started learning off each other. I haven't played with him in some time, over a year, but the last time I did play with him I had improved more than he did. But that's mainly because when I got to college I started jammin' with a couple other guitarists who were steps above me.
So basically if you just play with other people you'll improve. At least I've found it much easier that way, and it doesn't really feel like you're practicing if you're jammin out with people you enjoy hanging around with. We've also written a bunch of music, although I'm not as good as someone who would have taken lessons for the same length I've played, I feel like I can hold my own in music composition etc. without knowing much theory.
So you can tell me how
Not me. Why?
