Starting guitar.

Age Sixx Racer.:

^^
i guess your tips make some sort of sense
but the chords are fundamentals
and you build up dexterity.
thats probablii the reason why it took you a month to learn im not okae.

though i am intrested in your method of doing things.
i taught myself
and i found it hella hard without the basics.
specially trying prison.
whch is more of an intermediate song

well maybe it was easy for me w/o the fundamentals b/c prior ive played piano(so i new cords just not on guitar) and ive had already been playing music for 5 years then,
but i geuss if its your first instrument then its good to learn cords

Age Sixx Racer.:

i guess every player is different
but when it comes dwon to it.
if yo just practice im not okay
and prison
at the end of the day
you would just know how to play inokae and prison
as appose to chords and scales and such

well those r the songs i started with now
i can play 75%of my chem songs
20%i cant find a tab for
5%im not intrested in playing like teenagers or dead

i dunno where to put this so ill put it here, any advice on tapping???

Use loads of gain. LOADS.

i've been 'playing' guitar for a few years. and... well... i can't actually play anything (my fault entirely)

i just give up too easily and my attention span is really short. and i'm left handed so chords are quite hard to read. gah... any advice to help me kinda concentrate a bit more?

Ladysaw731:

Is their a way to get faster between switching chords in a song besides just practicing?

I'm learning Sugar We're Going Down & I takes me forever to switch between chords...

are they power cords or actual cords?



power cords- nothing to do but practice

cords- find diffrent wasy to switch or place ur fingers in diff. postions and see if its easier to switch

baby steps.
i think its better for you to achieve simple goals at first
to give you a taste of success with the sixx string.
ROFL.


so yehh set simple goals like
im gonna get my fingers in teh right place for that chord
or im gonna learn that lick.

and when you do
youll feel totally satisfied.

so dont ever stop yes ?

and as for the left handed problem
iill get bak on you for that
i have a friend who plays left handed he mite havea tip or two for ya !

anywhoo
happy playing.

ps
iim diggin the name

shoreditch vampire !
rofl.

hahaha. yeah... The Boosh owns.

well... i can play something... the BASS line to Astro Zombies. I was looking at tabs and clicked on it and I was like Whoa, this is easy. then i realised it was bass and I started yelling at my computer coz i'm a waffle.

but thanks for the advice! much appreciated.

It might just be me who finds reading chords hard. But hey ho. I'll keep trying

Age Sixx Racer.:

ermm shannon
show me the tabs
to see if your playing the right music
cos you onlii need like one finger to hit up all the chords?

get back to me on this

Thanks<3
I didn't get them offline my teacher gave them to me. So I'll just write them here:

E:
B:
G:7 7
D:7 7 5 5 9 9 7 7
A:5 5 5 5 9 9 7 7
E : 3 3 7 7 5 5

I think the chords I have for Sugar...are altered for my learning purposes they aren't the actual ones per se.

Doll Parts:

whats the easiest simplest way to learn to strum cause i can't get the hang on it

When I started guitar my guitar teacher gave me this exersise to help me out.

Fret 1 of the Low E string with your first finger.
" 2 " " " " " " " 2nd " .
" 3 " " " 3rd "
Keep going until you get to 4th finger of the 4th fret and then repeat the exersise on A D G B E. Also, do it backwards. It works.

Also, a good way to learn your strings.

E very
A lien
D rug
G rows
B etter in
E ngland

Kind of random. Made it up a few years back.

hey i know this is gonna sound dumb but when playing chords do you just strum it from the note it starts on cause i tried that but it didnt sound right to me

okay im not starting guitar but in this thread things get answered quicker

this is from the main solo in dead, but i listen to it and look at the tab and it dosent add up , what am i missing
