The Raven Posted January 14, 2005 #27 Share Posted January 14, 2005 I just wanted to know if anyone knew any type of guitar lessons online or maybe just the steps for the cords. 448786[/snapback] Thats what books are for. Much easier to use and play guitar with than the internet, and MUCH more reliable. Just go to your local music store and pick one up, they are not a lot of money and in no time you can be playing songs like Oh Susannah and such.

saRa Posted January 14, 2005 #28 Share Posted January 14, 2005 lol Thanks. Do you know if maybe I could get some starter sheets from the web and just print them? Most likely, but any suggestions on where and/or what site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+joc Posted January 14, 2005 #29 Share Posted January 14, 2005 I just wanted to know if anyone knew any type of guitar lessons online or maybe just the steps for the cords. Sara, The Raven is actually right about the books vs. the internet. Go to your local music store and get Mel Bay Beginning Guitar. Or something similar. It shows you where to put your fingers to make chords and such. And then practice that until your fingers hurt and then stop for awhile. Soon you will develop calluses on your finger tips and it won't hurt at all. Some of the chords will be hard for you to make your fingers go that way but if you practice them everyday it will get easier everyday. It is hard and may seem impossible at first but just keep on with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Raven Posted January 15, 2005 #33 Share Posted January 15, 2005 Not bad Jeremy. My influences consist of... Dimebag Darrell (Pantera), Kirk Hammett(Metallica), Peter Wichers(Soilwork), Jeff Loomis(Nevermore), Rob Caggiano(Anthrax), Scott Ian(Anthrax, CJ Pierce (Drowning Pool) Mostly heavier music but I love quite a bit of softer stuff as well.

saRa Posted January 17, 2005 #35 Share Posted January 17, 2005 I recently got my guitarist book and went straight to my guitar. I'm learning quite quickly and I really love it. BTW, I have an acoustic. Starting with something that I think I'll learn better then with an electric guitar... or at least quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Krow Posted January 17, 2005 #36 Share Posted January 17, 2005 Well, This seems like a pretty cool thread. My Guitars are a Schecter 006 Elite(electric), An Ovation Celebrity (acoustic-electric), and an EKD Ranger 6 (acoustic) Some of my influences are Dimebag Darrell from Pantera, Kerry King from Slayer, and Jasan Stepp from Dog Fashion Disco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whoa182 Posted January 20, 2005 #42 Share Posted January 20, 2005 http://www.purevolume.com/matthewlake heres 1 of my old songs written by me and other band member RHYS. It is just an accoustic version of a song that we wrote. I have been playing for nearly 5 years now, I have a Fender Strat Highway 1 customized with Semour duncan pickups and a turner accoustic guitar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted January 20, 2005 #43 Share Posted January 20, 2005 (edited) I recently got my guitarist book and went straight to my guitar. I'm learning quite quickly and I really love it. BTW, I have an acoustic. Starting with something that I think I'll learn better then with an electric guitar... or at least quicker. 453551[/snapback] Great! Acoustics I think are good for begginers, especially since you can get a good acoustic for a LOT cheaper than getting an electric, amp, ETC. I like them both almost equally, except for that an acoustic has such a large body -- I like stuff sleek and easy. Keep us informed on your progress, guitar is a great instrument to learn. BTW Whoa182, that song is great. When I say great, I mean DAMN GOOD WORK -- I'm really impressed. You going to make some more stuff, because personally I think you have HUGE potential. My band should have music up in the next week or two -- serious stuff. My friend and I are the guitar players...we just really need to practice on our music and actually get some better mics to record with... www.purevolume.com/wildmindfire Yes, we have harmonicas.

deerfly Posted January 20, 2005 #45 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Washburn acoustic, Kramer Focus 1000-Peavy Bandit 75 w/various effects pedals. Self taught for quite a few years. I had an injury to my left hand(fret hand)and I couldn't play for a VERY long time. I have just recently started to play again. It's amazing how quickly my hand starts to ache and ahow quickly it gets tired. Baby steps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
