Hey everyone, I've been having a bit of a dilemma lately. I've got my eye on a new guitar that looks stunning and has got brilliant reviews, but a mate of mine swears by his vintage model that’s been through the wars.

Hey everyone,

I always thought Beatles songs would be easy to play on guitar, the typical four-chord stuff, until I actually started trying to play them. Has this happened to anyone else? Any tips on how to improve?

I've been learning guitar for a year now and I'm trying to get in soloing and all that but are there effective ways to get there? To be honest I just spam the solos I want to learn and try to make them listenable but it isn't really a good strategy from what I've learnt.

I started learning guitar a few days ago (mainly just A and D chords 15 mins a day until I start to get comfortable) and I'm noticing that I just cannot mesh with how acoustics are generally held; on the right thigh.
