My son has given me a Boss RC30 pedal to play with, been doing a little reading up about this, could be fun. I am looking to power up the amp this weekend and have a play. I know absolutely nothing about pedals so I welcome any tips, advice and observations.

@Dad3353 Yes good shout with the noodling! I do that when I can... usually just fumbling around the chords I find most difficult with different strumming.. I like to call it "making music" Or I might have a dabble at playing through a song without hunching over to look at the fretboard (that's given me an idea for a video), or I'll set the metronome & just play around with the changes... it is more fun you're right & I think that type of playing around is what's pushing my progress possibly more than anything else because it's letting me go over & over & over stuff in an enjoyable way without having one eye on the next exercise. In fact, it's so much more enjoyable than standard timed exercises etc. that I suspect it results in a lot of people reaching a certain level of proficiency with this basic stuff that they then just call it a day with the learning & don't bother furthering themselves (or facing up to further frustration haha) anymore. Of course, I've personally got one eye on the 2043 guitarist of the year award. @The Pinky Thanks very much! How long have you been learning? Long enough to consider yourself playing yet? I still proudly tell people I practice guitar, I don't play it
