I want to learn guitar professionally

I am a beginner guitar player. I have an electric guitar and I learn my favorite songs using tabs available on YouTube and other websites. But there other songs that I want to learn but no tabs are available. I want to learn how to play any solo and riffs without using tabs but just figuring out by myself. I know its a long process but I want to dedicate myself for this skill. Please suggest me anything (YouTube channels, websites, books etc.) how can I learn music theories properly. I am stuck. I cannot just read tabs all the time. Please help me

Why does the 3rd fret of the A string sounds so wobbly compared to the rest?

I’m pretty sure I tuned all the strings correctly and none of the other frets do it. Can anyone help me? It kinda drives me insane. I noticed that the low E kinda does it also but not to the same extent. submitted by /u/I_hate_Sharks_ [link] [comments]

What should I learn next?

I’ve been playing acoustic for a few years but feel really stuck. I’m not a beginner but also don’t feel like I know THAT much. I know all the basic chords and most bar chords. I feel like I’m really good with finger picking songs - but then some feel wayyy too hard and intimidating. Whenever I pick up my guitar I just mess around with a few songs I already know because I don’t know what new stuff I should work on. I have a pretty good understanding of basic music theory so I don’t really want to dive into that anymore. An ideas?

If my guitar action is high, would yall recommend if i just put a capo on 2nd fret and just tune down? (I Don’t want to stunt my practice)

So i have an acoustic with around a 4mm action rn. It’s not horrible but I just want it to be more comfortable.

When i place my capo, the strings go down a bit which is good, but when i tune down, the strings get like reallyyy flimsy.

My goal is to play an electric one day and i would rather practice with harder/same level strings than easier strings on the acoustic, so i when i pick up an electric it’s easier.

I’ve never felt an electric before so would y’all say it’s similar to tuned down strings + a capo?

Thanks!

How long do y’all watch online lessons for?

Been playing acoustic fingerstyle for about 2 months now. My brother plays a lot of guitar and taught me a few things when I first picked it up. He also told me that I should learn the rest of the basics from Justin Guitar, then jump into trying to learn songs I enjoy. He said that this way I can learn, but also will be enjoying myself enough to not quit like so many do.

I feel like I have a good grasp on the basics and habits to avoid. And I can play a few chord songs and a few tab songs decently well. After watching maybe 7-8 lessons?

Question: Is this a bad way to go about it? How long did you all watch online tutorials for before you stopped and started winging it?

What should I learn?

After learning chords and being able to play many songs. What would you say is the most important aspect of the guitar to learn? I continue to see professional musicians talk about how they don’t know any theory. How are they putting together solos and creating great songs with out this knowledge?
