Re: Guitar GOD?? (23 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
Guitarpix yes its a joke, I think it depends where you come from if you get the humor some people obviously didn't get it. Russel just teasing, I enjoy your posts. I wouldn't worry about beginners being harmed by it, most people will view many vids and compare information before deciding what is true or false, he only talks about the guitar and he doesn't actually have any lessons out yet as far as I can see, so a beginner will soon realize that he was wrong with a bit more research, even if they didn't get the gag.

I have been using his tuning technique for many years, now. For an open tuning I sometimes turn the knob things the opposite direction from what he showed. When I really take the time to make sure all the little knob things are perfectly lined up on the end of the thingy my guitar sounds simply amazing. When I am playing with our little "get together" group all they can do is just sit and stare. They will just completely stop playing so they can listen to me. I completely outshined them so much at our last practice that the next time they got together they did not ask me to come play. They said they needed the practice just so they could keep up wuth me. Can't wait until Ash Browne's advanced lessons come online.

Nela I'm with you, since i've been following his courses i've improved so much that people just laugh with excitement. I have he same guitar a fender strat, but i'm a bit worried because that on/off switch he mentions near the tone/volumn controls doesn't work on mine, it just changes the sound, will contact Fender about that. Regards Andy.

With this game all you do is type in what you think the person below may be doing or what instrument they play but you have to answer with a true or false then add your bit - anything that comes to mind.
For example:- The person below me has 6 guitars (if this is true then the next person will type true if not then type in false then you add: The person below me is a chordie lover.
This is a real fun game, so let's get it on.
The person below me loves to post in chordie.
Yes I do, The person below me prefers acoustic to electric.

The first one should have a strung neck on the other side aswell, that way it can be used by an ambidextrous guitarist!

Re: Reading Chords (10 replies, posted in About Chordie)
Try this site for more info www.justinguitar.com his lessons are free and he goes over alot of basic stuff including tabs, well worth a look.
The only thing i'd like to add is dont get your self too bogged down trying to learn too much at the same time, try and decide what you would like to achieve first and work on that, then move on.
Peace....Andy

Re: Reading Chords (10 replies, posted in About Chordie)
Hiya Squizzlybear,
I'm also teaching myself to play. To learn which fingers to use for chords i use www.chordbook.com This is a great site for learning chords, scales and even tuning your guitar if you haven't a tuner. It has numbers on the chord diagrams showing where to put your fingers ie 1=first finger 2 =second finger etc, check it out, i found it invaluable. After a while and with lots of practice you wont think about making a chord shape, if will become second nature.
X on the chord chart means not to strum that string, and o means strum the string.
When you see a chord diagram which has a number on the left of it, this denotes which Fret to start your chord shape. Chordbook .com is actually quite easy because it has a great diagram of a guitar neck showing you exactly where to start your chord shape.
And i'm guessing "the text only music sheets" that your enquireing about are the "tabs" short for tablature, this is what guitarists use to learn solos as well as chords and is very easy to understand once you get the hang of it. I dont use them at the moment because i'm happy playing chords on my acoustic, and just improvising on my electric, so i'll leave that for someone more qualified to explain to you, but believe me its dead easy.
But it depends what you want to do, if you want to learn solos then maybe learn a scale or two and get into tabs. If your like me and want to learn songs to acompany your self singing, then learn a couple of easy songs playing chords.
I hope this helps. Bare in mind i've only been playing for less then a year myself, and i'm sure someone out there in Chordie land will be able to add to what i've said, or even correct any duff advice i've given you.
I've learned loads form here and i'm glad to be able to give s litle back.
Peace...Andy
