How about whatever songs you like to listen to yourself.If they are too hard at the time,try them later.That way you will have them there for you.Some songs that are easier for some may be easy for others.Chordie and a printer are the best combination you can have.Be prepared to buy a three hole punch and a lot of three ring binders

400 is a lot of money to take a chance on screwing up.If there were a cheap kit to try on first that would be good.

The last fight I really got into was Sugar Ray Leonard against Marvin Hagler in 1987.People say Hagler was robbed but I thought Leonard fought his way to victory. Funny thing, I wanted to see Hagler kick Leonards butt. The 10 second fight with Tyson didnt count.It was over before I sat down with a snack

Jerome,if you look close that is canadian money.With the exchange rate it probably comes out to 25.00 in american money.So the price is right in line.

why dont you get just a decent nylon string instead of a high end one.Hold on to both guitars.Then if you really want to play the nylon string,make your original move.That way you wont make a move you will regret later.VOICE OF EXPERIENCE.

How many times have you seen an ad claiming a fender or gibson for a cheap price only to have it be an epiphone or a squier.Or a yamaha 335 for 200.00.I feel bad for any inexperienced parents looking to get their kids their first instrument and getting taken by these people.I have even posted in craigslist for people to do their research before buying overpriced guitars.They have always been flagged.I wonder why.

Re: American Strat or Mexican Strat? (35 replies, posted in Electric)
I have a mex. strat.My daughter has a mex. strat with a humbucker in the bridge position.They were both used and dirt cheap.200 for mine 170 for hers.Cheap strats are out there.You just have to find them.I have tried both of them in stores.No real difference.You can always upgrade a mex. with american parts.Almost like upgrading a squier with fender parts.An american strat will be more expensive used or new.You can get a new mexican for cheaper than a used american.Hope that helps

Re: Just learning how to play (18 replies, posted in Acoustic)
Jerome is right.Be patient and don`t get discouraged.Eventually it will come to you and the pain will disappear.If you have any friends or family that play,ask them for tips.Most guitarists will be more than happy to answer any questions.When I first started learning,I would ask questions.Only once did I run into a player with a snotty atitude.Almost every time they handed me their guitars and said go ahead.I do the same with mine now if someone asks how it is.Then in time you will be handing yours to someone and letting them try it.It feels good

My Father was a very good golfer. Before he died, he gave me an old putter which I still have and use to this day. A stranger at a golf course offered me $300 for this putter several years ago - I declined. I only play golf a couple of times a year at best, the rest of the time, the club is collecting dust in my garage or the trunk of my car. I don't think I'd take $1,000 for this piece of steel, hickory and leather - one day, it will pass to my kids.
My point is, the value is not lost without it being played, indeed, the value is likely greater for the son than it would be for a buyer. Who knows, maybe your friend's kid or grandkid will discover that guitar one day and be the next Stevie Ray.
You said you used it a couple times a year.You do use it.This gets no use at all.Not all my guitars get used regularly but I do use them.He also has no kids and never will.If he learned to play it would be different but he has a differemt outlet.None of them involves a camper,boat or guitars.Not a bad thing.Just the way it is
