also do music shops sell bags of picks liek all assorted ones dose anyone know?
if so how much are the picks?

Post 2

picks are 50c each in brissy and songs to start off with...... hrmmmmm i think u should try some blink 182... or lear to play rhythm

Post 3

LOL! Depends how serious you are and if you plan on becoming an electiric or bass guitar player...Nirvana - Teen Spirit and SilverChair - Freak are very easy songs. Do you know how to read tabs cause you should probs learn, I personally dun understand them but the people in my band pretty much are always talkin bout where to get good ones from...Just go to a search engine and type in "Guitar Tabs" or sumfin like that...good luck knight...

I would've thought to play like Hendrix he would also have to lock himself in his room and only cease practicing to eat :lol:

Post 9

yep
i got a tuner here that i got of a friend girl today
but my guitar dont liek it cause i dont have a cord that will go from the guitar tot he tuner
for non electric aqstics it has a inbuilt mic but that doosnt like my guitar
maybe cause its metal strings :?

Post 10

Post 12

:(
FUCK
not good
kngith aint playign the guitar for a few days

i broke a string
the 3rd from the bottom
anyone know how much it costs to get fixed?
need to fix it by the weekend cause othr wise knight no longer on earth
knigth will be in heaven

Post 13

PFFT as if you'd waste any amount of money on a tuner. See those two things either side of your head? Use them :)

Break a string, and you'll generally need to replace all 5. Set of strings doesn't cost much. Ohh and 3rd string from the bottom is your "G" string... no really... it is :) (Sorry, couldn't help myself)

And finally, we all know Mark Knopfler is the greatest guitarist of all time :) (Sardok, back me up here :P) But yes, Hendrix is right up there.

It's not rude in this context, in fact many of us hope its the only kind of g-string you'll ever own

Walk before you can run, Kowboy.

He's a total n00b to guitar playing, he can try to write his own songs once he has learned and gained a greater understanding of music.

nah teaching your self will bring the goods in the long run
so much more satisfying, im mean youve got a digital recorder (computer) u can manipulate and loop the shittiest bass line to sound good , if you know how to produce/master is doesnt madder wat sound u got its wat u do with it
