Stop making an asshole out of yourself.

Posts deleted so I dont take away from peoples enjoyment of learning how to play guitar, this has been dealt with in a more constructive manner.

Keep this in mind next time you feel the need to ruin somone elses thread.

I would recomend just hooking up effects pedals in every way possible and experimenting. My favorite part about electric guitar is the huge vocabulary the instrament has (it is capable of producing so many different sounds). But I guess much like writing you need to learn and understand the rules before you can confidently break them, so Chibi has some damn good points.

Play accoustic alot too, it really helps.

I'm not really adding much to this thread am I?

Ah yes... learn some rhythm well. I think it makes or breaks the professional edge of a song.

Start out playing alot of acoustic because it makes your fingers stronger and if you can get something to sound good on an acoustic, reproducing it on an electric is a breeze.

My guitar is acoustic.

I learned by buying a Nirvana tab book back in 1992, and learning the one chord used in rock music.

I reccommend you do the same.

Yea I learned the idea behind power chords tonight, and I knew instantly how to play Sugar Never Tasted So Good (from the white stripes), didnt have to look at a tab sheet or nothin'. Because I recognized the sound.

Anyway yea I love the guitar. I played sax and clarinet when I was a kid but I never jizzed my pants over them like I do this one. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I can try to play the songs I love, I dunno. I just wish I started 5 years ago, 7 years ago, etc. But Im still young.

Shit when I was at the bookstore today looking for a calendar I saw a Fender one and I picked that up without hesitation. it has entries like, January 17th, Led Zeppelin released, etc. And now I know that Duane Allman died on my birthday. I rule.

Aren't those just the most gorgeous instruments you've ever seen?

P.S. If you learn your minor penatonics (any book or website should help you out) you'll be nmost of the way to a good blues solo.

Yea, the one for March, the Gold Sparkle Strat from 1954... holy shit. I wont own one until I win the lottery, I guess, but man, the thing is beautiful.

I want to save up for a kickass electric guitar maybe by the end of 2004.

Or maybe Ill just give one to myself, a really dope one, like a thousand dollar one, as a graduation present, or maybe someone will give me one.

Thanks for the tip.

i think I'm the only person on earth who doesn't like how a fender P-bass plays.
