I want to learn guitar and stuff...

[Jesterarts]

Yeah, I've got a program that simulates effect pedals and amps.

Tell you what though. I've discovered I have absolutely no control over my middle finger... well... limited control anyway...

And after only trying 3 chords and giving the intro to Smoke on the Water intro a go a few times, my fretting fingers are sore as!

This could be interesting.

I Always wanted to play, My brother can play anything perfectly & nothing is to hard for him, but i have fingers that dont work smoothly in the position, either they stay on the string or a km away from them lol, only time it ever happens, same goes for pianos. fml

Some pictures of the instrument...

Not bad for $150 with an amp, 2 picks, tuner, bag and stand I think...

FYI, the bubbles on the white bit, the pickguard, are a clear plastic that I removed. So no bubbles now...

looks like a fair starter guitar, and that was an alright price.

looks alright for a starter, no point going all out with an american strat as a first guitar.

Strats are rubbish, buy a les paul if you want a good sounding guitar. Failing that the only fender worth buying is a mustang

I rkn this song will be ideal to begin learning, it covers a few guitar fundamentals quite well

Quite a few guitarists will disagree with that, I think it depends on the sound that your after, strats are a bit more comfy to use sitting down imo

AAAAAAAArgh... my finger tips are killing me! The pain... blog updated.

I was going to also post a video of my chord efforts and my Smoke on Water effort, but it turns out I didn't press the record button hard enough on the camera so I was just talking to myself like a retard.

Get yourself a program called guitar pro.. Then if u want to learn a song u search a tab on google (eg: paint it black gp5)
Double click it and BAM it plays along to the tab with u, even shows a fretboard if u need it... P.s. I been at it for long past a decade,
