What do you guys usually do for warm-ups? Do you do scales, arpeggios? I should really start working on my scales and arpeggios to increase my skill.

He is pretty good! I like his style too. And is that his voice??? If so, he has incredible vocal chords as well.

I have never written my own songs before. I wish I had the talent to write them but alas, I do not.

Happy New Year's everybody! I hope all of you had a good 2007 and will have an even better 2008!

I've found www.ultimate-guitar.com to be a good resources for tabs online. They are internet tabs submitted by anybody but when you're first learning a new song they come in real handy.

Has anybody used any online lessons to learn specific techniques? I've always wondered if they were useful or not. There are so many that it's hard to know where to start.

Anybody know of any good lessons?

<t>What songs did you guys learn when you were just starting out on guitar? Finding songs that are at my level is really hard for me for some reason. I was hoping somebody might be able to suggest some.<br/>

Does anyone have suggestions on some easy songs for a beginner? Maybe the first one ...

<t>I've never even thought of looking for a tuner online. I have perfect pitch so I don't usually even use a regular tuner but this is a great idea for someone who doesn't have anything else to go by. Sure, it doesn't tell you when your's is in tune but most people can get it tuned pretty good by ...

<t>Learning all the keys is very important if you ever plan on playing with other musicians. They can be difficult to remember some times but they are good to know.<br/>
<br/>
As to finding the key of a song. Do what everybody else has said. Look at the first and last chords of the song. Almost ...

<r>Okay. Let me try here. I don't know much about it but I can try to get the basics of it across.<br/>
<br/>
First of all, it is also called an <B><s>[b]</s>applied dominant<e>[/b]</e></B>. Just a random fact. Basically, if this makes sense, it is the dominant of the different degrees (II through ...

Last movie I watched was National Treasure II. It wasn't bad for a sequel. There was a little too much stuff that was a little unrealistic (kidnapping the President?). But if you can get past that, it was pretty good.

I've been fiddling around with it since I was about 13 but really haven't gotten serious until about a year ago. I haven't taken any lessons and have been teaching myself just like my dad taught himself.

I hope to keep playing for the rest of my life.

Looks awesome! I wish I was that friend! I think they will be more than pleased.

Spammers are the worlds worst evil... Well, not quite. But just the same I hate them as well.

Just a little verification at the beginning is a small price to pay for no spam.

I've never used Guitar Pro before. I've always wondered what it was like and if people liked it. I have always just used Power Tab because it's free! It isn't the greatest however.

I should think about giving Guitar Pro a try.

Does anyone have any chord progressions that they like to play? I like to try to figure out different progressions to help with my chord transitions but I'm no good at it. I thought that maybe somebody here could help out...

Does anybody have some good tips for getting good sounding hammer on's and pull off's? I can't seem to get a good sound from them, especially the pull off's.

What about online lessons? Are there any good ones related to this subject?

I don't have any particular tips to playing arpeggios but I can tell you that it is VERY important if you want to become a good guitarist. It helps with your finger agility and speed and your picking.

<r>As olly said, guitarists are lucky to have the tabs. They provide an easy way for those who don't have any sort of musical history to learn how to play the guitar. However, I think that everyone should at least learn how to read notes fairly well. This will help tremendously when playing with ...

I'm a beginner guitarist but absolutely loves the guitar. I've always picked at my dad's guitar and finally bought my own. I can't wait to learn how to play better from this forum.

Music is something I can't go a day without. I'm playing one of my instruments every day.

<t>I go for more of the acoustic finger style of playing. Which makes my favorite players Tommy Emmanuel and Kieran Murphy. Kieran Murphy still has some room to go far and I think he will just get better and better.<br/>
<br/>
The thing that I like so much about Tommy Emmanuel is the passion in ...
