i gotta say though, the zz top videos were always cool, and they're still an awesome band even after thier fiasco with MTV in the 80s

I'll second the playing with other people thing, that's always fun. I even taught a couple of my cousins how to play.
When you can't do that though, finding new songs on your same skill level helps, or even tackling one thats a little harder. Building your song repetoire makes it less monotinous. Practicing scales and all thats important, but can get a little tedious after a while. Sometimes you need a break from the technical stuff to just play.

Tibernius, thanks I didn't even think about that but thats probly what the problem is...
   Roger, the version I tried to print was called stairway to heaven perfect, I found it by searching so I guess there's no way of finding its exact file location... As for wordpad whenever I copy and paste it really mixes it up and I have to go through and re-align it, which works but its pretty time consuming.
Thanks for the help yall I'll go try it again

I'm 17, but most of my music's alot older than me. I like rock ( like Ac/Dc and Metallica, Zeppelin, ZZtop, the Allman Brothers, BLS, Guns N Roses... um yeah different stuff), blues, country (mostly older, Waylon and Willie, Johnny Cash, HAnk etc.), some old soul, bluegrass, gospel... pretty much anything but rap.
I play mostly acoustic, I like the rawness of it (and plus I'm no good at electric, but I have fun plunking around on it), pick lead or strum along by ear, I can do barre chords fairly well now, and I play around with all kinds of tabs and stuff...
Just havin' fun with it

I'm a girl... (hopefully most of yall knew that by now lol). Country, blues, rock, bluegrass, gospel, and pretty much anything except rap because there's not much room for instruments in there.
I play mostly acoustic, so when I do play rock its slightly altered to fit the instrument, but as far as taste goes heavy's just fine with me. As for influences, some of my fav. guitarists to watch would be:
SRV
Zack Wylde
Dickie Betts
Billy Gibbons
Willie Nelson

just play around with the barre chords till you come up with sumthin u like.... thats what i do. Once you got your chord progression you can build the lead

Thanks lots southpaw Thats really interesting the bass strings on his guitar, never thought about it before but I bet that opens all kinds of doors to new sounds and combinations....
I noticed on the youtube video 'ball and a biscuit' he had one that I didn't recognize, the body shape kind of reminded me of one of muddy waters' old gretsch guitars, and the solo was awesome.
Thanks again,
LR

Wow I've been gone awhile, and apparently have been missing some good stuff. I'm looking for a word that means 'you put alot of thought into the words' to describe this...
And its nice that you have a vision beyond just the chords for this song, helps us imagine what it would sound like actually performed.
Kudos!,
LR
