I can play a few tunes on guitar with basic chord progressions but would like to improve.
My experience with music lessons is if you can get a good teacher, the one or two things he can show you in a lesson Is worth the 20 quid and then you go away to practice them. Don’t think of it as a practice lesson think of it more as an hour with a professional and ask as many questions as possible e.g. “how do I shape my hand for this chord progression/I’m having trouble with this scale because I can’t reach this note, can you show me how you do it? Etc...) you will progress much faster and will be worth the money.
Learner Groups meet for jam sessions so you should look for them in social media sites—also the Edinburgh city council run evening classes which are subsidised. The prob do guitar ones.
Ha, you're asking for it admitting you play the fiddle!
I'm not into traditional scottish music, no.
Each to their own though!
