Don't learn to play - Play to learn
Comment from :Lazyfret 
When I first started playing I remember going to seek advice.  I wanted to learn to play.  I did not aspire to be the next Hendrix, I did not want to be a professional musician, I just wanted to learn to play.  I spoke to a "professional" - I will never forget his words "Go and learn some scales, when you have learned them, come back in 6 months and we will talk about playing songs".  His words of "wisdom" still ring in my ears today.  His ethos was clear - theory theory theory then play. 
 
If I had taken his advice, I would not be playing today ! 
 
I was determined to make learning fun. 
 
Now when I look back I have a simple view of my experience.
Learning theory doesn't
inspire you to play
 
  Playing inspires you to learn theory

Guitar is fun
learning to play must be fun
It's as simple as that
