 Re: Do You Play Guitar?
You know, I'm going to have to learn how to actually play a song and record it. Especially since I might be getting a brand new acoustic guitar that normally costs about $700-$800 for only $200. If I get it, I'll probably never stop playing it. (Well, maybe I exaggerate. I would have to sleep sometime.  ) I hope I can get good enough one day to maybe make a little money on the side by playing.

 Re: Do You Play Guitar?
Its good that you have an objective planned out and that's great. The next step is to set your "guitar time". When i was younger I would rush home from school just to practice for about 4-5 hours day. You need to be focused and have as little disruptions as possible, depending on the goals you have set for yourself. You're prolly freaked out about the hours i put in (or not). But I can safely say that its better to be focused even for half an hour and have some progress than to practice for many hours but with no defined goal and your attention constantly shifting to other things.  Good luck  Edit: Did another video guys!! xD http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xm3Au_ks ... nQ&index=1Mod Edit: Please don't double post.

But if you wanted a more in-depth view (eg. To be able to apply chords to music theory), I'd recommend buying a chord book from a music store like Guitar Center. Lots of chords with finger positioning as well; eventually with some practice you can form pre-memorized chords naturally thanks to muscle memory

For guitar tabs i often recommend either Guitar World or Alfred music. Because i notice that fan made tabs are often wrong and such,compared to official tab books. I swear most people who put up fan made guitar tabs don't listen to the songs.

 Re: Do You Play Guitar?
HOW DID I MISS THIS THREAD!? I play guitar, oh lordy do I play guitar. My current collection consists of a Washburn 332 Dimebag, a Gibson Flying V, an Alvarez acoustic, a Marshall JCM2000DSL tube half-stack, a Morely Mark Tremonti power wah, a cheap knockoff P-bass, and an Epiphone SG bass. Oh yea, and metal. A lot of it...and the occasional not quite so metal song.

 Re: Do You Play Guitar?
Even Jimi Hendrix sucked at guitar at one point.

 Re: Do You Play Guitar?
Are you implying that suggesting that Pat Smear sucked should be more shocking than the fact that Jimi Hendrix sucked?

 Re: Do You Play Guitar?
I'm a metalhead as well. I even remember when metal was around on TV and radio,during the 80's and early 90's.

 Re: Do You Play Guitar?
I thought the same thing. Guess metalheads just flock to the same spots. Also, that's not a love song. If you listen to the words, it's more about those super judgmental types in church. I've had a few too many run-ins with those.

I did it! I did it! I did it! I played bass solo for Green onion today! :3 at our local downtown park mallish place. Though, it's a relatively easy piece, so less risk there.

 Re: Do You Play Guitar?
Congrats, Texas!
I'm gonna have to get new strings for my bass soon. If I'm gonna start this new band, I want my sound to be clear and vivid. My current strings are fraying a bit and that mutes it a little.
