haha i do bring up a lot of subjects dont I? I enjoy hearing people's opinions, especially the people here on chordie.  The community here is diverse and doesn't really argue a lot. So, yes, i enjoy making you guys think ,and answer my questions.  Without you guys i would have probably given up on guitar months ago! thanks for your, tips, tricks, opinions, and even general rambling!

okay, sorry if i sound stupid, but when you say pickup, do you mean like a humbucker pickup? (how do i put that on an acoustic?) Or is there something else?
i want to get the mic and the uca-202. They seem like good values.
thanks!

Welcome to Chordie a.k.a the best guitar site/community on the net,
A good country song by Lucinda Williams, also preformed by Tom Petty, called "Change the Locks." Two chords, G and D, one strum like

i change the [G](strum) locks on my front[D](strum)door

pretty simple, heres the whole song, but it just repeats those same chords

Good Luck, Rock on, and don't be afraid to ask us anything!

Thanks for all the positive feedback guys, I'll be sure to post some more stuff. As for recording my songs I'm going to try to get some equipment to do it. when I do I'll post the URL on here. I'm probably going to use myspace or youtube unless you have any suggestions. phil, you asked about my style, and to tell you the truth it changes everyday, but I try to stick mostly with pop/rock and a bit of country.  This song turned out to be more of a sheryl crow sounding tune.
Thanks again!

i wouldn't say this is my favorite piece of music, but it was the first song i learned to play the whole way through. "wish you were here" by pink floyd.  it's a sad song, but it's pretty too. i remember sitting out on my front porch just playing that, because it was the only song i knew <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_razz.gif" border=0 alt="Razz">

im 14 which has its ups and downs guitar wise, some people are surprised at how well i do play and others just keep telling me what im doing wrong! im surprised how many guys (even my age) think teenage chicks cant play.  but whatever im sticking to my slogan:

who says chicks cant play jazz guitar?

down with stereotypes

rock on.

like cytania said, go to a shop near you and try out everything, well maybe not everything but you know what i mean. i personally like epiphone and ibanez. epiphone is a great begginers guitar with a good tone, decent pricing, and great durability.  ibanez has great quality guitars, but their specifically designed for one thing, hard rock. the important thing is to get a guitar that <b>you</b> like and that you aren't going to get tired of to quickly.  good luck and keep rockin!
