Just got a guitar...

Post by **Tino** » Mon Sep 29, 2003 2:14 pm

Hit the big 19 today and out of nowhere moms gets me a guitar for the b-day. Ok fine I mentioned it once that it'd be cool to play not ever expecting it to actually go anywhere. Well long story short, I now have a pretty good guitar that I dont know **** about, and apparently its one of those fancy electric/acoustic deals idk... So anyone here play the guitar or learning how... just wondering. I'm pretty much reading up on everything that has to do with guitars online haha, now I only need a pick and a strap.

I play guitar and electric bass. invest in one of those little electric guitar tuner things. it will be much needed. and trust me when I say don't get the cheapest one.

Yeah, i've played for 4-5 years now. What kind of guitar is it?

and you will find that this is the most valuable program ever, and this site ranks up there with free lesbian p0rn in terms of valuability. Its electronic tab, and you can download it and listen to it and the files are like 13k a piece. It's changed my life. well, not really, but it owns.

Software: http://powertab.guitarnetwork.org/

Site for Tabs to download and open with said program: http://www.powertabs.net/

by the way, i have an ESP F-200. (Mine's gunmetal blue)

anyway, that stuff should get you set. It's the best thing i've downloaded ever.

Hey where did you find the free lesbian p0rn website? J/K

I've played for 3 years now. I just got me a plain old Takamine acoustic. Not bad for a started guitar. Good luck.

Happy Birthday to all who has a birthday.

I have a Chevelle Chevette. IE old beginner guitar.

I've been playing guitar for 6 years now, since I was 12. I have a black Fender Strat (basic model) for electric, and a lower-quality Yamaha for an acoustic.

Make sure you know how to play a few classic songs (such as "Hotel California" by the Eagles) because as I've found out here at college, girls love guys who play guitar.

I've been meaning to start playing. Thursday is my 20th birthday, anyone want to get me a guitar? :-)

Post by **krazy skwerel** » Mon Sep 29, 2003 2:14 pm

I played from 7th grade thru 10th grade. Then I started working and Completly slacked off.

just learn three chords and write songs about teen angst and problems of society;) Or aspire to be the best blues guitarist in the world.

just don't play the Key-tar (damn 80's...)

if you just want to learn other peoples stuff...by all means learn tab.

but if you ever want to get serious, you'll need to learn how to learn the songs by ear and/ore read notation.

i would recommend getting a chord book, do some scales, maybe learn one or two songs via tab, and then just try to figure the song out on your own. learning 5 songs by ear puts you way ahead of the guy who learned 20 songs via tab.

as for my gear (i'm mainly a bassist):

Warwick Streamer Stage 2 5 string (possibly going to be a warwick artist soon

)Lightwave Sabre C 5 string fretlessEssex 75 Reissue Jazz BassEnglehardt EM1 UprightOLP MM4 (musicman silhoutte copy)1930 Slingerland Songster acoustic guitar

SKB 6 space rack with:Furman Power conditionerSWR Interstellar OverdriveRaven Labs MDB-1Bellari LA-8 Tube compressorSabine rack tunerCarvin DCM-1000 power amp

Protec 2space soft rack with:AMP BH260

cabinets:SWR Goliath Senior 6x10Avatar BH112

guitar amp:Peavey rage 158 (woo woooo)

and my bands: http://www.phatphunktion.com and http://www.bonpantalon.com

have fun with the new guitar man, but TRY to learn stuff by ear. a well developed ear is BY FAR the most important thing to have as a musician.
