I can't even read music, I have never played a musical instrument before etc so I need real basic help. Any constructive advice is gratefully received. Thank you MaestroC Registered User From: Iowa Registered: n/a posted: 1/8/2007 at 5:54:49 PM ET Your best bet is to get a private teacher, but if that is not possible I would suggest buying a lesson book like Essential Elements 2000. You can get them at your local music store. The Essential Elements books come with DVD's that show you the basics plus also how to get the first few notes to get you started.
