i taught myself by messing around on my dads acoustic which I restrung for a left hander (im a southpaw) i had to cut a bigger notch in the (formerly) high e string notch to fit in the low e string and it sounds really bad.

i just played blues for ages because it was simple easy and fun and then i got a chord book and started to experiment with other chords.

because i jsut messed around on it, i learned badly and I rarely use my little finger which I regret
