try out marty schwartz. (See your e-mail for more info just sent ya a pm)
Here is his web site, and lessons. IDK if you can get in, I may still be running on an old code for being able to see his stuff. http://www.guitarjamz.com/members/guitar-licks.html
I'm kinda like you Jerome and don't play cds. But not exactly for the same reason. LOL, I drive an old Jeep - before the 'modern' age of cds. So it plays cassetts. Luckily, the Jeep came with about 5 tapes (Kenny Chesney, Brad Paisley, Lone Star, etc.), but unluckily the tape player is broke
. So I'm stuck with the radio, which is okay, but it only plays one station - and it's definitely not my favorite station... *Sigh* So I just sing.
This is where you do the 80s move, get a type of boom box, and hang it from your roll bar/ set in passinger seat,,, or hey yea, get your mp3 player out and put it on,,,,
OK no comments from the peanut gallery about safety,,, most of us dont hear crap but wind and road with our car tunes on anyway.
Currently I have a Data disk that contains , one song by Grits, My life be like, Betty Blowtorch, Are you man enough, Labertta Sued, The Ramones Anthology, Red Fang, Sex Pistoles, and SKUNKWEED. They are a SanAntonio based comedyish band. here is a clip of a few of their songs:

yep thats some fun music,, but you cant have teh kids in the car! LOLOLOL
ELTON JOHN his greatest hits #2 some of the songs I can play,he has some wild chord changes.
Blame Bernie Taupin! LOLOLOL
in all honesty i never liked marshalls. i played the valve amp and found it lacking in clarity, volume and as soon as you gave it a bit of gusto, it distorted. i have pedals to do that. having said that, i used a bass cabinet for years with no moans. the trannie amp i got with it gave up the ghost after about a year...which is most likely why i wont use them now. give me a good peavy or fender or vox...now there's a good amp.
my condolences to jim's family, it is a sad time as he was an icon to many a dirty guitarist.
I dunno, Have you tried a JVM 410H? My buddy gets every tone he needs out of that amp only thing he has on the floor is a original TS-9, crybaby and a Tuner. maybe some delay on a rack. but its a pretty modest set up. supper clean to dath metal dirty.
I like Vox and Laney also. Fender mmmm sorta. All is good if you get the sound you like:-)
Haha! Not 'sir', I'm a girl!
Many apologies :>) Guess I should have looked at your profile.
NOw to get her to Rocker V/S Mods!
^That's what I was thinking. I think he meant to say and 'E' shape.
YOu are correct sir! LOLOL oops, so it looks like this
http://jguitar.com/chordsearch/F%23m THE FIRST DIAGRAM.
That is how I have always played it.
Ok, now dumb question,, what is the chord if you bar the 2nd fret and do the Am (like I wrongly said ^)
just found this on same site! http://jguitar.com/chordname
So my answer is
F#sus4#5 F# Suspended 4th Sharp 5th
Bm/F# B/F# Minor
D6/F# D/F# 6th
I dont get it,,, its just a Am w/ 2nd 3rd an 4th fingers and your index across the second fret. Once i learned this form and the E shaped one,, I use the heck out of them.
KEEP AT IT-- Barr chords will save ya.
Now He WAS A LEGEND,,, In a market as big as it is now,,, What is the one amp everyone knows, trusts and lusts? MARSHALL.
Ill say My first drive w/ out parents, The first girl who made me hyperventalate, My first E5 at max volume!
(I kinda keep kids and wifes out since nothing compares to watching your kids be born adn the frist time you stand and say "I do")
Yea! the stuff beer stories and songs are made of!
You might try what I did. till I got used to everything, I used .010 electric strings. You will find them eaiser to handel. the set up is always important also. you will divlope the softer touch also.after you are fluent, bump up to some light gauge acustic strings and so on. (when changing string gauges, set up will change a bit)
keep at it!
And somehow I find myself in the same life-boat as everyone else. When did our classical ship sink?
The question is; What electric guitars have the widest necks? As we want our transitional muscle-memory to transfer as seamlessly as possible.
If you want to keep your classical, get a transducer pick up:
there is this http://www.musiciansfriend.com/accessor … transducer
or a less pricy one one that still sounds good : http://www.musiciansfriend.com/accessor … 5000000000
My buddy had the Dean Markley, we found putting it right on the lower part of the bridge worked very well. With this you can keep your nylon strings and amp it up and add any effects that trip your trigger.
Yes Jim, I am VERY SPOILED!
Pete - I really did NOT realize that we had so many guitars around here. I will admit, other than the Martin they are all under $300 each, but still. Mind you, I don't usually play his guitars and he generally doesn't play mine. Oh, and since I got my Martin my husband is now GASSING for a Gibson. At some point, we will have to remove some guitars from our bedroom before there's no place for us to sleep. My three all have a purpose (a classical, a beater, and a Martin) and so do his, (an electric, a beater, and a Fender). I see how difficult it can be to get RID of guitars now though.
Oh... Say "Whoot Hoot" out loud. It's just a hoop and a holler.
Amy that is what Wall Hangers are for! :-)Hmmm Average room 3 or 4 to a wall staggared. yep sounds good to me.
and before you ask................ GAS = Guitar Aquisition Syndrome
Roger
Well I was on the right track I thought it was Guitar Addiction Syndrome.
Ok,, been trying to figure out the accronym for a while,,, What do you guys mean by this??? LOLOLOLOL
Worst guitar --- Masada LP Jr copy-- never seen one since. it was a first guitar I could afford, traded out in 6 months to a Ibanez strat tqaht was awesome! that traded to a buddy for his guild. He painted teh Ibanez black so it could be a blackie.

Rpger
oops. http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1211582282 go to my pictures file and look for guitar stuff. Everything i Scanned is in there. look for the stretches for the fourth finger. This lesson comes from "ARLEN ROTHS METAL METHOD" GREAT BOOK,
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss? … tal+method
I xeroxed every page of it back in the day before scanners. This exercise will make your pinky burn for a while. I originally had all this stuff in step folders, to work people up to it. I then let them have a copy of the Arlen book. We stuck to four chord keg rock and beach / chapen stuff after that.......
Oh to have had Chordie and you tube back then.
MB or anyone else for that matter, I just posted up all my basic stuff on FB. I have taught many people with, an they usually go way beyound my abilitys when we are done. But look for streches for the fourth finger, in the photoes.
So Roger, is it the case that over time, doing the kind of exercises you describe, I'll be able to not only get greater strength in my pinky, but be able to separate it farther away from my index finger?
MB,, for spreadability, you can use wadded up paper with masking tape or a raquet or squash ball. Just incert itbetween your fingers and use the mussel to go back and fourth, and let it sit there and slowly strech your tendons. oh and check your mail Ill send you a pinkey excercise that will really help in addition to what Rodger has told ya.
edit>>>>
Ok this mailer wont let me do an attachment, If you would like this and some more, please e-mail me at beamerstrumpet@gmail.com,, Ill send you back some great finger excercises.
Just go to the page and hit the like button.
Im in.
Man when I was learning my chords F did give me a hard time, first time my friend showed me the major and minor forms with the Emaj standard shape, that was it! or just play the root 5th. 2 fingers is all it takes all the way up and down the neck. As for B its a root 5th (index on A string 2nd fret and 3rd finger on D string 4th fret) and Bm is the full bar chord) powerchords are great you all and pretty easy once you can get your head around it.
ITS ALL GOOD ,, THATS WHY WERE HERE! ;-)

ANOTHER ONE TO LOOK INTO: if you got 300, save 150 more.
