System of a Down! Byob just blows me away i love it.

Anyone?

Ive just been watching a video on you tube but ive also heard this before and im really struggling. A guitarist will pick up his guitar and put one finger on one string in a fret and call it a D. I only know the chord D or a barre chord. How or where can i learn this?

Thats a nice story, i hope you can make it there soon. Sorry to here about your father.

Hi guys, ive noticed when im playing that sometimes my top E string buzzes and sounds aweful. All the other strings sound fine so i don think that its me not pressing in hard enough. Any advice?

Cheers guys and girls, Happy Jamin

<t>Hi guys, being new to guitar, ive just been researching the above. Sorry to sound abit thick, but whats the difference between Epiphone, Les Paul and Gibson. Are they differenct shapes of guitar of brands? I know what an epiphone and les paul look like so maybe they are types of guitars and ...

Good tip John thank you, plus green tea is good for weight loss.

Thanks, so how do i know what they are made of? Or is it a case of going to a music shop and they will tell me? Cheers

<t>Sorry for all the posts! Lol, im just getting a few questions answered. Just wondered how how long to leave the strings before being replaced. The thing is i dont know what the strings are made of. I know that sounds really bad but only had the guitar about 3 months so still learning alot. I know ...

Its really annoying when it cuts out when im practicing! Might try ebay? You really do try to get around the forum Olly it seems you do a good job with the site!

<r>Well my electric is Yamaha and it plays really nice, even the guys i know who have been playing years and are really good confirm its nice to play so im chuffed. <br/>
<br/>

Thanks Olly, can you give me the name of the scales you mentioned or point me towards a link on the internet that will help to learn them? Thanks

<t>Hey guys im looking to buy an acoustic guitar soon, in about 6 months. I only have about £150 to £200 to spend though so wondering if you guys have any advice? My dad bought a Norman guitar for £300 as he wanted to start learning but he never started, shame really he wont sell it to me either lol ...

<t>Hi guys, just wondered if there were any basic tips for trying to come up with my own solo? <br/>
<br/>
I keep mentioning pentatonic scales so sorry if i sound like a stuck record, but ive been playing about with it and moving right down the fret board like on the 12 fret onwards and playing and ...

<r>Hi guys<br/>
<br/>
Sorry i tried to post in the Amplifier section but couldnt fine the New Post link. Anyway the wire from my guitar to Amp (not sure of the real name but please enlighten me) has clearly got some loose wiring inside as the sound cuts out all the time. I'd like a new one and just ...

<r>I have a Yamaha 112v and although its a lower marketed guitar i still love it as its my first guitar. Its lake placid blue with a white scratchplate. It holds its sound and is easy to play. I knew nothing what so ever about guitars when i bought it but was told it was decent by a friend and was a ...

<r>Yeah it starts on the 5th fret and 6th string, im getting used to playing it faster and faster but sometime it just 'clicks' and other times i really struggle.

Hi guys

I learnt a basic pentatonic scale on A chord and just wondered how easy it would be to create a mini solo from this? I have started going through the scale and move up and down the strings and add a little bending etc. Any ideas?

I think thats quite nice, if you get an Ibanez it has to be black!

<t>Hey guys, a mate of mine wants to record us playing on his laptop. Im pretty excited about it to be honest but ive not been playing long and just wondered what would sound good but be simple to play? I was thinking maybe pick 3 or 4 chords, maybe D,G, Em and A and then play pentatonic on ...

Yeah that makes sense thanks mate, currently at work but i will refer back to this post later on and practice

<t>Hi all<br/>
<br/>
Ive been learning a couple of months and have 90% conquered barre chords. <br/>
<br/>
Ive tried power chords but struggling. Ive been told by a friends only to strum the first 3 strings E, A and D, which is quite difficult for me as im not producing a clear note. Plus, for ...

Yeah the clock works, thanks that really helps
