Guitar
A guitar is a musical instrument used in a number of musical styles. They typically have six strings... or five buttons.
I just bought my first guitar.
Well despite having a USB guitar, you can still be cool by learning some music.
You should just look up some basic chord structures first, probably, and get used to them.
Then look up some chord changes for some fairly simple songs you like and just try to go through them with the chords, even if it's not what the guitar is playing in the song. Just so you can get used to the different fingerings.
You used to be cool until I saw it was USB. But its your first guitar so any guitar would do quite frankly. Yeah learn some tabs, jam some chords then if you're still serious enough about it, get a real guitar.
If you just wanna learn some songs, read tabs. If you're totally serious about it, learn to read sheet music.
ultimate-guitar.com for tabs.
Oh, and I learned on a 50 dollar acoustic. I don't really like electric guitars. Maybe it's all the folk.
Yeah my first guitar was a pile of shit, I`m now using a Jackson Warrior with EMG's, as you progress, treat yourself to a better guitar.
but that guitar doesn`t look to bad.
I think a USB guitar for a first choice is a pretty interesting one. One of my problems starting out was that I hated my practise amp sound with my crappy ham-fisted playing. With all the amp simulation software I hope you can get a beast sound to inspire you onto greater things.
Ultimate-guitar.com for tabs, youtube for lessons, learn to tune by ear, learn to and make yourself hold the pick properly, then learn and practice doing power chords and palm muting, then focus on alternate picking. That will take a few months, then you can start on easy solos and whatnot. After a couple years by a better guitar and a good amp/speaker setup.
Hey great advise McNasty but I must say that after it all your sign off was well...kinda creepy. Surely you get a guitar to make music not to get laid???
"It can't just be a normal guitar...You want me to be honest with you about the easiest way to learn?
Am I officially cool?
Also, any good sites online to teach me some basic stuff?"
