kindly anyone help me 2 learn guitar chords.i am a new guitar player

Go grab one guitar chord chart and study them bud. You could always check this forum for tips and advices for beginners. Try to check this guys for strumming patterns for different kinds of tempo or beat. http://www.chordie.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=11132

i was wondering if anyone could listen to 'hands clean' by alanis morissette, and share the strumming pattern that fits the song best in their opinion? i've also watched a few vids on youtube but couldn't actually figure out how it's done. i used to play the guitar when i was 7 yo then quit and now i realize it wasnt the wisest choise i've ever made xD so i'm trying to catch up by practicing and practicing as often as i can. thanks!

it's definitely a microphone as it picks up my voice even with the strings muted and it also works with nylon strings on my classical guitar!!

My guess is that little box affixed to body of her guitar is the pick-up for amplification.  Something similar to this.....   http://www.boutiquemusicinc.com/e-store … PLEBAR.gif

actually manicbassman started a new thread about this a while back, and the members figured out that it is a tuner

    That's a capo.  It's an easy way to change the key of a song (without knowing music theory).  You put it on a fret (across all strings) and pretend that is your nut then play your chords.  It raises the pitch up.  They come in all different styles from screw on's to clamp on's.  Kinda nice to play around with.

I know what a capo is... there's one in use on the neck... smile

I'm asking about the brown object attached to the front surface of the upper bout of the guitar just above the soundhole...

Do as topdown says folks... post your song title in song requests and ask for the strum pattern there.  You'll likely get a very good response with several different options for each song.  My strum pattern for ONE song could be 3 different ways... depending on how I'm feeling that day... it's all up to you in the end... but having a starting point is nice!

don't forget, you can always vary the strumming yourself and hit the bass strings on the first down beat and the treble strings on others... there's no law that says you have to hit all six on each pass...

PPS... that one always cracks me up... I miss my son, he'd be 16 now...
