Im wondering how did everybody learn to play? Did you have an actual teacher? Teach yourself? Do you learn by watching? Do you learn by tab? Me personally, my Stepdad taught me the major chords, and I watched him play some songs then I kinda just used tab and now use youtube lessons. Ive been playing 20 years or so, and can learn pretty much anything. But I know S**t about theory, scales modes ect. Haha

I have several Ideas for future posts. They will take a significant amount of time to create. So, here's a poll to gauge interest. I'll do them in order from most votes to least votes. If there's something you'd like to know about that I didn't list, comment to this post, tag me in your comment, and I'll see what I can do. If you have an idea, please check the comments to see if someone already suggested your idea. If yes, give it a thumbs up. It'll be easier for me to see which topics are the most popular in the comments. Thanks.

What songs do you or would you play around a campfire? I'm partial to the old classics, Camptown Races, She'll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain, Home on the Range, I've Been Working on the Railroad, Oh! Susanna, This Land is Your Land, and Clementine. What other suggestions do you have for me? I want to play songs people will probably know the words to, so they can sing along. So maybe, Row Row Row Your Boat, Michael Row the Boat Ashore, On Top of Spaghetti?
