I know a few of us here are talented with music and play instruments. I thought Id see how many people have a guitar and how many play it?
I now have 2 guitars, sold all the others off. Currently I have a new crafter electro acoustic, which is a very nice hard top. Looks and sound beautiful
I also have a epiphone les paul, which untill today I was thinking of selling. I spent about 30 min looking at it then making subtle changes to it, and fixing the jack, will be ordering some chrome parts for it in the next couple of days too.
Shamefully it's been quite a while since I sat and played guitar for a few hours (think ive been doing it for like 6 hours today) I was very impressed with my progress, My chord hand is speeding up and by the end of this evening my timing was above my normal standards.
I have been looking at songs to play and am working on a few, including under the bridge - RHCP, stairway to heaven - led zeplin and slide by the goo goo dolls.

Yeh its on Dizzy up the Girl. Love the Goo Goo Dolls
Got mate I have no idea about music tbh with you
Gotta say I do love accoustic songs. I have got quite a few good ones that you might like. Get the new Foo Fighters album, its got alot of accoustic on it.
Also check out:
Rise Against - Swing Life Away
Posted by Luke-the-magic-man
Man, Ive got the new album, gota love it. Ive forgotten the name of the really cool acoustic song, its got a fast tempo and I think its played on a classical (smaller acoustic but with nylon strings instead of the usual metal)
I just started playing acoustic, and I was going to go to bed. You dont cappo it and it does sound sweet even without voice. I may record it on my mac then up load it if I have a hour spare tomorrow.
Posted by fatevdestiny
The song ur looking for is called Ballad of the Beaconsfield Miners.
Its amazing
No words at all just a very livey and happy tune.
U should get some songs by Christian Kane. He is an amazing accoustic player. He doesnt have an album out though its just some individual songs. Defo get them if ya like accoustic. There called:
Damn those eyes
Keep my head down
La song
Not here
Spirit boy
The chase
What my heart says

I have a Spanish Acoustic Granada..was gifted by my parents on my last birthday..i've been into singing a lot..unfortunately never got past the basics on guitar..or shall i say never practiced enough..still I keep looking from time to time for some interesting guitar tutorials on net (preferably vid). If Luke or anyone know a good site..please suggest..might as well give strumming another shot
Posted by Luke-the-magic-man
Man il check those out.
@ deep - have a look on justinguitar.com, its a free site and teaches you the basics with both videos and tutorials. It's not really designed for classical, but the rules will apply for you. Also if you need to just find some tabs for classical songs, as mentioned the goo good dolls are a great start and acoustic is a easy song
Posted by deepsme
@luke, nice site mate, thanks..got a holiday tomorrow..will surely clean the dust off and start over again!
Posted by Luke-the-magic-man
good stuff man. Just took a look at the site again and they have a couple of xmas tunes up, the middle one for intermediates sounds sweet

My eldest son was given an electric guitar last year by his uncle. It's a Squire Tele which is a cheaper version of the Fender Telecaster. It's a nice guitar in need of a little TLC so I got it re-strung, tuned, pickup heights adjusted and bought a small practice amp to go with it. Just wish one of us knew how to play it!
Never mind, my son's only 12 so plenty of time to learn.

I'm beginning to learn just now ... C & G chords just learned. Friends or internet or OS X using GarageBand with downloadable free lessons.

Indeed. Would be nice to keep it going, not just for newbs such as myself, but also for more experienced guitar players.
I just discovered "Tabs" but reading them is a bit off for me. I've learned how to play a wind instrument, Saxophone (Alto 1st, then Tenor, Bass, and double-reed soprano) as a kid but mostly in learning sheet music or music notation. So learning tabs or even seeing music in software (like Logic 9; which I'll get to eventually) confuses the hell out of my mind.
Some rock songs I'd love to play are:
WhiteSnake
- Crying In The Rain
- In The Still of the Night
- Is This Love
Bon Jovi
(some from the New Jersey album; just can't recall which ones tbh atm)
Van Halen
- Standing On Top Of The World
- Right Now
Metallica
- Sanitarium
- One
- Nothing Else Matters
etc (lots that escape my mind currently but are in my Rock Playlist).
So I've discovered two sets of Guitar Tabs for WhiteSnake - Crying In The Rain
http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.c[....]rying_in_the_rain_ver2_tab.htm
&
http://www.songsterr.com/a/ws[....]rying-in-the-rain-tab-s22074t1
(Great that songster is available on iOS ... looking to add that soon)
Here is the thing ... fist link states I need to strum 2 strings "A" & "D" but at Fret 3 & 5 respectively,
yet the second link states at fret 10 for the same strings which has me saying WTF? Because I don't have an amp and using just open air on my electric I cannot tell WTF is supposed to sound right, Even in GarageBand I don't know what sounds right vs watching a music video of the official track or playing it from iTunes ... to my ears anything I try I'm confused.
I know that #0 means to play a string it's on as OPEN or just strum it. But if other strings are not numbered I have no clue if I should play them or not in either of the links I've provided. Worse off ...
Q?: Why is tabs in the first or second link listed on the 3rd spot ... as in "- - 3" or "- - 5" what does the dashes represent????
Posted by hihihans
In tabs you only play the numbers. The dashes are there for easy counting.

I'm not too sure I fully understand, let's assume I'm an ass-hat to playing guitar, in fact let's NOT assume lol.
The numbers are the frets on the neck where I position my fingers to press on the strings the numbers are lined up on ... such as E-A-D-?-B-A right? so the dashes have no significance?
btw, for those as old as I am and remember the first few chimes from Rocket Robin Hood ... lmao I just learned that pure hilarious.

I don't assume nothing and I knew William Tell personally
There are always little differences in the scores as they are written by different people. Just pick the one you like best. You can use your Mac as amp. Garage band has that possibility and it sounds pretty good too.
As for tabs vs sheet. I prefer old fashion writing as it contains all details.

Sheet music or musical "notation" where you can see the notes and nuances of the song (traditionally created by early composers or orchestra conductors) is how I learned along with ear ... but with wind instruments this works. Guitars ... I'm still lost.
But I'm getting a hang of it.
SO I have a question for all you Android Guitar players ... could someone recommend a quality Android app? Maybe something with both smartphone/hd and tablet versions?

seems really good as it gives best of both worlds that (I think) hihihans was talking about ~ correct me if I'm wrong.
