(ahem) WE COME IN PEACE?

Hi Icelinni, I started playing again in January when my eldest son, who is 18 this month, wanted to learn, so i got up in the loft and got down my old Hondo acoustic, dusty as heck with the high e string snapped, and a cracked saddle.6 new strings later and a new saddle which needed fileing, and hey presto! Now i was the proud owner of a rubbish sounding guitar, that was horrible to play, and i realised why i put it down in the first place.I couldn't let my son go through the same torment, so i got him an Ibanez acoustic, V70, £70, looks and sounds gorgeous, and they sent two by mistake, so we have one each! He can now play the chords to songs like, Wild World,Hotel California, and more,he has picked it up really quick, and I feel so happy when i walk past his bedroom and I hear that sweet Ibanez singing. I have picked it up quick too, and have also got a Mexican Fat Strat, to share. Now to my second son, he is 9, and when he saw our guitars, he wanted one too, so i got him a 3/4 size from the guitar shop, and now he knows, a,c,d,e,em, we joke about getting mum a tambourine. Anyway, alls well,so far. But still no paragraphs as i haven't replaced my busted keyboard. Cheers, Andy.

Hiya, i've had the guitar and amp for a week,and i must say the guitar is so sweet, and i love the tones on it, the amp is great aswell, i cant believe the progress i've made in just a week on this, its like it plays its self, so inspiring, im in love again. Only problem is this, and i think this could be the only drawback from buying online,its the setup, i'm getting a bit of string buzz,on quite a few frets is that to do with the neck setup? Can anyone give me some idea how to set up a Strat? At first i never noticed it, but i can hear it now, any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Andy.

HI Scotty3days, love the look of that Gretch, really sweet, but i think the Mexican Strat at the moment is edging it for me, my friend has one and it seems to be really nice to hold and play, and i love the sound, and great value for money,i'm gutted it works out about £100 more expensive over here in The U.K, at about £300, roughly $580.Nice to hear you picked up the guitar again, are you learning scales too? i'm a bit confused with the major scale, i learned the major scale showed in www.Chordbook.com, then my friend showed me another way to play it and i'm not sure which is right, anyone know a good site? Bootlegger thanks for advice, i heard good things about line6 pods, I wanted to order my gear on line as its cheaper,  so i need to know exactly what amp to use, but i really fancy a Marshal Or Fender, what do you think of these? Is Roland better sounding? Hi Cytania, thanks for the advice, sounds like you like the Roland cube aswell, so am i right in thinking that Roland Cube might be the way to go? Anyway thanks for all your input, and sorry about lack of paragraphs again, still no keboard, Dell wants nearly £100, no way i'm giving them that, looking on ebay. Bye for now. Andy.
