Hahahaa...that would be funny.
Maybe these exorbitantly high prices will finally come down.

Dm

I also agree.
I use that setup in ernie ball strings.
Their "Heavy Bottom - Skinny Top" strings are perfect for the above referenced setup.

Dm

A black Fender stratocaster or a silverburst Gibson Les Paul.
I have looked at other guitar makes and models but none seem to suit my functional needs like those two.
And it seems like the knock-off brands cost just as much, so why not get the real thing...

Dm

Edit: I'll take this knock-off please.

WTF!?! my posts keep getting blanked out.
What the heck is going on?

Same here, I'm starting out learning how to play in Drop-D style and it's coming along great. I got my first electric in October of last year and I'm already playing along with the band in my church. At first I thought that Drop-D was going to have limitations on playing but it actually makes everything soooo much easier for me. Now once I get the action lowered on my guitar I will be able to play for longer lengths of time before my left hand gets tired.

Practice is definitely vital.

I've only been playing for about 7/8 months now but I've been playing just about every night for anything from 30 mins to 6 hours depending on just how sad and desolate my social calendar happens to be at the particular time. As a result of this constant practice my friends and family cannot believe how much I've improved although there's obviously a lot of room for improvement. One of my friends has been playing for a number of years but I'm already waaaay ahead of him due to the difference in our practice regimes.

What I would say is that there will be a definite plateau from times to time, but similarly there will be times when everything just "clicks" and you will make big leaps forward really quickly. It gets very addictive when you start progressing like this.

One actual tip I do have is about strengthening your hands (childish giggle  <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_lol.gif" border=0 alt="Laughing">  ) once or twice every day take a bit of time and spread and stretch your fingers on each hand as far as possible for a couple of seconds, hold and then clench your fist as tightly as possible. Repeat as time permits. I used to do it driving to work...gear changes excepted, of course.

Good luck!!

Awesome, this is just the info I needed. I can stretch across 4 frets but I would like to stretch across 5 if possible. I am still weak in the fingers though I can feel my pinky getting stronger and more accurate day by day.

Thanks,

Oh yeah, here's the link to the song being played live.

On youtube...

Strangely enough, Slowdive and Depeche Mode.

Even though Depeche Mode has minimal guitars in most of their songs if any.
