@ froodz & others -- another thing that's been tremendously helpful for me is practicing with a metronome. If you haven't been doing so already, there are plenty of free websites out there that serve the purpose, but I found it easier just to buy a metronome for 30 bucks. For the longest time, I had no idea what the method was for learning speed & accuracy (one bad thing about never having had a guitar teacher). Learning to play correctly to a very slow beat and gradually increasing it is essential to building your muscle memory (and obviously pretty important if you actually want to play songs with other people).

I also never had a guitar teacher (apart from for 6 months when I was 8 years old) but I've been told by more experienced players that if you rely on external methods for keeping time (like metronomes or tapping your feet) while learning then you might become reliant on them. They say it's better to keep time mentally if you can. I dunno.
I sometimes find myself unconsciously clicking my teeth in time with the beat

I also notice your ratio is only at 0.668. Be ashamed.

Thanks. I have more trouble with my pinky which has literally no strength.

I've been using one of these. I find it rather helpful. But I guess if its something people become too reliant on, I should practice half the time without it or something.

Metronomes are helpful, inspired my name actually... I just don't remember why.

Oh god we just had teaching evaluations and my friend wrote two pages on our physics prof.

Mine is like 1.3, but I've only been here for about 8 months and I upload like 10kb/s while seeding 40 torrents.
