My 8 gig iPod Nano comes with album artwork if it recognizes the CD...all of the songs online come with album artwork.

Anything made by Danelectro...my Hodad was a fairly conventional shape, but their other guitars are weird.

Thanks everyone.  I think that once he gets those basic open chords down, I'll start showing him some actual songs, then try to explain what chords, scales, etc that song uses.

I'm sorry to hear that.  I'm sure that's not very fun to deal with.  The best advice I can give is to expiriment with some open tunings (you could learn to play slide) or, if it's easier, you could attempt to learn to play left-handed (you'll need a new guitar of course).  Best of luck!

Skillet is awesome if you like heavier stuff.  They're somewhere between alternative rock and metal.  John Cooper's vocals are right up there with the best, and the guitar work is pretty cool, too, usually in drop-D or drop-B.  The albums "Collide" and "Comatose" are really good.

Most of my acoustic playing is done fingerstyle, and I love playing in drop-D.  Fingerstyle allows you to get so much more out of the chords or notes you play than using a pick does, like only playing certain notes together, harmonics mixed with bass notes, etc.  From what I've heard, usually open tunigs are especially suited for slide playing, although I do know of some fingerstyle songs in open D, and acutally "Heartache Tonight" by the Eagles and "Start Me Up" by the Stones are in open G I believe.  One of my favorite fingerstyle tunings to use on acoustic is where I drop the low E string down to an A, a full octave below the A 5th string.  This allows me to get some really cool piano-esque notes into my chords.

Well, I've tried this, and it doesn't seem to work too well.  Right now my settings seem to get me a decent sound, but I can mess around with my settings a little more.

I only have one EQ knob on my overdrive channel called "shape" which I believe controls the mids, and I usually play with it turned all the way up.  If I roll back on it, I get more of a classic rock tone, and I can get a somewhat-blusey sound if I take enough gain off.  What I'm looking for is more distortion, because I can't turn the volume up much past 2 when I have the gain cranked as high as it will go.  With the gain at 10, I can get into some Black Sabbath-early metal territory, but not much more.

It's a 30 watt Crate combo with chorus and reverb.  Yeah, I've played on one of those Line 6 Spider III's, and you can get almost any sound through one of those.
