    I watched one of Paul Gilbert's instructional videos on YouTube once.

    "Here, I'll play this slow, it's pretty easy."

    hahahahahahahaha

    I started with a few Rage against the Machine songs. Pretty much every song from their 1st disc, although some I never tried, like the opening to Know Your Enemy.

    I didn't get a guitar until I was 18 (and out of my parents house...correlation???) I still haven't had a lesson. Used to just hang out with my friends, some of whom were in bands, and picked their brains for anything they were willing to share.

    I'm currently shitting myself because I have a lot to learn over exams, I'm owed five times as much money as I own thanks to bank up-fuckages, fraudulent transactions and shitty college admin, and I've turned into an occasional depressed existentialist after a bad experience with weed.

    How're you? Fancy a pint later?

    My money supply is in a similar, though no where near as bad as you, situation. I desperately need the end of the month, and we're weeks away :/


    The exams'll be fine dude. No need to worry :D

    I got 100% in a piece of English coursework for which I hadn't read the book. I just made up a load of theories then found quotes in the book in the bath the evening before it was due in to back it up.

    aiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

    Knob, am I too late to announce my intense love for you due to this thread?

    I knew of a site that had charts that were essentially shortcuts for a lot of the stuff your first post went through, so I'd been cheating by using that for about 2 years now.

    Also, which of the billions of SG variants did you get?


    Tugga: If you still enjoy the simplistic acoustic style of Wish You Were Here, try "Hang" by Matchbox 20.

    i got a black sg special

    i was gonna shell out more for a standard, but the only difference I could see was the standard has trapezoid inlays instead of dots, a crest in the headstock, and comes with a free case

    thinking of taking the few hundred bucks I saved and also grabbing one of the korean ESP Vipers. they've got EMG 81/85 pickups standard, and that is relevant to my interests

    Question: Does this apply to both acoustic and electric, or are these theories for 6 string only?

    6 string as opposed to a 7 string (that has the extra D) or a 12 string?

    7 strings have an extra B

    See, this is what having no musical education does. I just figured it was a D, cuz I always drop my E to a D, and figured some people had an extra D put on there.

    No it goes in the same pattern as the rest of the guitar.. 2 1/2 steps down from the previous string

    (yes except the G & b im not hurrr hurrrr)

    have any of you fools tried open tuning? Or playing slide? (which is almost the same or is the same tuning).

    I tried that once, but when you don't know what you're doing it's just not that great.

    If I took lessons, I'd do slide and flamenco.
