TakeMyFuckingHand101 Fabulous Killjoy Age: 33 Gender: Female Posts: 120	November 12th, 2007 at 12:48pm To an extent mainly we just end up swappin good tracks to listen to nd pratting around with feedback. It's only an hour or so a week and I really can't concentrate. I cant afford private lessons....
Kid Rock Banned Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 7686	November 13th, 2007 at 03:52am A lot of musicians learn how to play w/o private lessons. You just have to make sure you don't pick up bad habits.

souverian. Demolition Lover Age: - Gender: - Posts: 19169	November 20th, 2007 at 02:20am I just got a guitar two days ago. Obviously i have no clue about notes/chords and all that. I was planning on taking lessons, but i cant seem to fit it in my schedule, so im attempting to teach myself. Pretty impossible, but does anyone have any tips and/or sources where i can teach myself all the basics.

TakeMyFuckingHand101 Fabulous Killjoy Age: 33 Gender: Female Posts: 120	November 20th, 2007 at 10:46am Just be careful. Some people who put TABs on Ultimate Guitar get them entirely wrong. If you're looking for a decent TAB never serch for a single track go for the full album. They're just so much better. Yhat's where I get all my MCR ones and they're all 100% accurate...well okay 99.9%!
TakeMyFuckingHand101 Fabulous Killjoy Age: 33 Gender: Female Posts: 120	November 22nd, 2007 at 10:52am I'm getting a Epiphone Les Paul Special 2. Its basically a replica of Frank Ieros guitar except less money. Its only £100 which is awesome and, having played one, it's 10x easier to learn on!

TakeMyFuckingHand101 Fabulous Killjoy Age: 33 Gender: Female Posts: 120	November 23rd, 2007 at 11:57am Yeah I find the albums awesome to use you get perfect TAB. However if the album doesn't have the same layout all the way through DON'T TRUST IT! I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love Album TAB Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge Album TAB The Black Parade Album TAB These are the ones I use they're the best I've found!
JustASadSong90 Jazz Hands Age: 33 Gender: Female Posts: 253	November 28th, 2007 at 01:29am I'm trying to decide between a $150 to $200 Ibanez electric guitar or a similarly-priced Epiphone Les Paul electric guitar. Any suggestions? What are the differences between the two? Some things I'm wondering: Pros/cons of each? Differences in the style of music they are geared towards? Pick-up differences? Weight differences? Overall quality? Any info would help!
TakeMyFuckingHand101 Fabulous Killjoy Age: 33 Gender: Female Posts: 120	November 30th, 2007 at 12:47pm Well I'm going for an Epiphone Les Paul. I've decided against getting the cheaper version for like £99 (don't ask me what this is in dollers uh...about $200 I guess coz you double it don't you?). I'm getting the full blown Pansy guitar which Frank uses which is like £339 ($67 in alpine white with a costom vinal on it so...meh. Oh and I'm forking out £50 ($100) for a Marshall amp with inbuilt distortion.

JustASadSong90 Jazz Hands Age: 33 Gender: Female Posts: 253	December 1st, 2007 at 04:59pm ^yeah I've heard the Epiphone can be really heavy, that's something I'm not too happy about with it. My cousin has two Ibanez and they seem to be really good guitars and easy to play. plus, a music store that's pretty close to where I live does sell Ibanez but doesn't sell Epiphones, so I think it would be better if I got a chance to try out the guitar before I buy it, right?
TakeMyFuckingHand101 Fabulous Killjoy Age: 33 Gender: Female Posts: 120	December 6th, 2007 at 04:26am Yeah but the Epiphone has a nice weight to it.
believe it or not Killjoy Age: 31 Gender: Male Posts: 62	December 9th, 2007 at 08:52pm I just bought a fender strat electric guitar from a friend. Everything is good except it is missing the top and bottom strings. I have some strings but I don't know which ones go where. What gauge strings go on the top and bottom? I hope someone can help me with this.
