I love Ibanez guitars but for your 1st guitar to have a Floyd Rose bridge seems a jump in the deep end but nice guitar none the less.

Many thanks ... I just learned the A Chord playing around this first bit just to see how horrible I strum the strings. GarageBand lessons start after Jiu-Jitsu tomorrow night

I cannot wait!!

I scrapped the GB lessons I found it was better to learn from people on YouTube, there are some really good teachers on there and playing with other people helps but good luck none the less.

Many thanks - have any links or what I'd search for?
(sorry I'm from a previous Google search generation, at times something so similar in search escapes me in decent results).

Thus far I at least know the following about Guitar through GarageBand free lessons:

Kneck
Nut (lol, makes me laugh like a child every time for some reason)
Frets (somehow I reference BlackBerry frets but all the same)
EADGBE (EGBDF = music scale I learned with notation learning the Saxophone's in grade school, but its different on strings). it seems E-A, A-D, D-G, and B-E skips 2 notes on the scale (I'm not sure why?) yet G-B only skips 1 note, why??!
A- Chord (I learned the WRONG chord off google search, but corrected), C chord, A Major and a few others. 2 days - but I cannot remember the fingering just yet.

My fingers hurt like a famucka!!

Learning Guitar with a ring finger injury from a Jiu-Jitsu Gi wrapping my finger and getting pulled (OUCH), but at least I can move it a bit.

PS: Who in the WORLD thought up the fingering of Guitars?! I'd like to kick him in the balls and ask what was he thinking with placement of fingers, I'm learning from scratch like an imbecile so bare with me, but the some of the placements in the chords just don't make sense! I at least know why I must get a wrist band (so 80's I thought intially, but) its essential!



PS: Other than Logic 9 Pro, does anyone think Apple's focus for music being at its core strengths is being forgotten since Jobs' untimely exit from this plane?

Sounds like you had a messy night out mate .

But if your trying to learn a song or scales then open Youtube and type in, how to play Sweet Leaf on guitar or what ever it is that you want to play and then look for the best video like this....


I would also get a good book, I have had this book for a few years which is great
How to Play Guitar Step by Step and the rest is up to you.

That's a tough question. Eventually I'd like to come up with basic sounds for composition into chill music or house tracks (a rif here or there).

Influence:
80's Rock
> Van Halen (up to Sammy Haggar), Bon Jovi, Metallica (up to the album with Enter Sandman; I don't know newer tracks), etc

Classic Rock:
Jimmi (common that should be part of every guitar players lists when learning how to play).

Ska and Roots N Culta.

I can't think of anything else ... I do recognize that Black Sabbath track - hell if I know how though? I grew up listening to Disco, Funk, and R&B Soul from my uncle and pops, then chosen Hip-Hop, House (all forms), so i have no idea how I know that track.

The acoustic. Is just a cheap Dean exotica probably 8 years old or so all maple, family gift but it's decent enough till I get my Taylor 614ce

Yea I am a collector of concert plectrums, I believe at last count there's 85 or so. My girlfriend mounted them in the frames for my birthday so they could be displayed.

But also have probably over 1000 regular picks i that I have bought to try over the years
