    Just messing around on the guitar

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=En6naS8GaUA

    Yeah, go easy on me. Only been playing seriously for like 1-2 months. Still have trouble hitting some notes cleanly, and kind of mess up near end a bit. And yea, my guitar was a tad bit out of tune. Took me like 490490349043094390 attempts to find something worthy of posting.

    but w/e. Lemme know what y'all think. Especially if any of y'all have experience on the guitar. Any feedback is appreciated!

    Re: Just messing around on the guitar

    Assuming you are being serious, you do have a sense of tone. Tuning is a problem, though. But you seem to be hitting the right notes.

    I don't play guitar, but have played piano since age 4. I might suggest some lessons with someone who knows what they are doing. They should be able to help you with positioning your hands, tuning, etc.

    And if I'm a victim of trolling, feel free to eat dog turds at your leisure.

    Re: Just messing around on the guitar

    Thanks man. And yeah, I was pretty pissed. It took me like 4505490540945 tries to get up to that. Then I decide to check if my guitar is tuned AFTER. ughh

    But yeah, definitely trying to get lessons once I get that college break.

    Re: Just messing around on the guitar

    I mean i got a tuner where I plug it into my guitar. I strum the string, then a light lights up telling me which direction to turn knob if it's FAR to the right a red blinking light blinks really fast. The closer I get to putting it in tune it blinks slower till it finally turns green.

    It's just I was stupid to not have tried to tune it earlier

    My only other advise is to put the electric down and pick up an acoustic guitar. Learn non amped music first then go for it all amped up.

    Yeh,but I don't see it there in the Muzik Forum.Give me a couple of months and I'll try to put something up that'll be entertaining.Notice I didn't say Good,just entertaining.

    I love Screaming Electric guitar,but I've always liked the Stripped Down Acustic Sound Better.

    haha that's what my parents told me too. My impatience got the better of me. But my dad just recently bought one, so I might be able to work it into the plan. You play?

    This will make you so much better. I played an electric for years before I started playing more on an acoustic.

    An acoustic will make you hit notes better(with no noise to conceal your mistakes), your finger will be stronger to more properly fret your chords, and your callouses will be beefier.

    Also, after a short time with the electric tuner you will be able to tune better by ear.

    hahaha those damn callouses. Ain't nothing like playing for 3-4 hours straight, then looking down at your finger tips and feeling that pain. I seriously don't know why I never started earlier.

    Keep practicing my friend, keep practicing. Guitar is a great stress reliever too, the most fun I ever had was on the right side of a guitar.

    Re: Just messing around on the guitar

    Definitely man. Only problem I'm having is it's killing my back. Since, right now I can't play standing up.

    So when I sit down, I'm bending forward to get a look at the strings (since I can't play without looking at strings yet). It's killing my back. Especially since I already have problems due to slipping a disk during the summer.

    But besides that, it's awesome
