I have struggled with this since I started playing. I'm at the point now that I can pick one out if it is really obvious.

Give this vid a look. It gives some good strums to start with. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0T4_9Bj6sYE


Also, if you look on youtube for a lesson of the song you want to learn you are bound to come across one that offers up a strum pattern for it.

In four dimensional Einstein space, sure.  But in Calabi–Yau space, there is a universe where that song is about messing with Superman, so, you know, theoretically I was right.  smile

I'm not from England and I don't like being called Sir. So I'll be happy with just the title stuck under my name.

Bad thing is that the guitar you have now will never sound as good as the one you want. You will always find something wrong with it because you're comparing it to something that you perceive as new and better. Play what you got and save up for the one you want.

I like the more simple look. Less is more. I don't like lots of fancy things on my guitars.


This axe is awesome and completely plain. No inlays, binding, or pickguard. I love it!

If you're worried about scratches you can get a clear static cling pick guard.

Like Russell said, find something that inspires you. It sounds more like you're in a rut than a plateau. If you're feeling like you're not progressing then you need to take a step back and examine what you know and what you want to learn next. Before proceeding, make sure you know what you know VERY well. A better foundation makes for better progress. Pick your next goal and get after it. I think everyone here will agree that even if you think you're not getting better you really are.

If you're at a plateau, then you have progressed enough with the basics that now you need to look for challenges. Like the others said, pick something completely diff than what you are doing now. Expand your horizons.

Stick with it and don't get down on yourself.
