Of course.. Short nails will really help..
So as the lady above suggested.; just show them your nails and tell them that this is how they should be to improve smoothness on the fretboard.

Re: Advertising Your Lessons? (2 replies, posted in How to Start)
I did the same for my website.. but what i found most effective was actually "Search Engine Optimisation" if you are willing to have a long term audience.. SEO is your thing.. AdWords will direct people only till you pay for ads after it.. what will keep bringing the users will be SEO.
Believe me you really need it..
Expand you online presence by using all the top social networking platforms and also make good use of social bookmarking..
Best of luck...!

Re: strumming and other advice welcome (6 replies, posted in Newbie Section)
As far as i have understood brother.. Strumming is a combination of technique and hearing..
I've seen many beginners asking for strumming patterns.
But what my suggestion is that strumming pattern can be understood by maintaining a good ability to hear and understand the Time scale of a song and track when the chords are changing..
once you get the right timing of the song you can make your own strumming patterns easily..
Good luck with yer practice... \m/

Re: why did you pick up guitar and start playin? (24 replies, posted in Newbie Section)
I got my guitar at 12, i was inspired by BRYAN ADAMS back then and later on progressed to "Erick johnson" and Clapton, Buddy Guy, Mark Knophler... I was amazed by the vision of holding a guitar in front of full arena.. i wish i had that kinda fan following..

Re: Good Age to Start Learning? (13 replies, posted in Newbie Section)
I started playing when i was 12.. and wrote my first song in 14.. but most of us would be knowing that "BRYAN ADAMS" wrote a song like "SUMMER OF 69" when he was 10, so i guess at least we can start at 6 or something..

Re: Recommend me a guitar (12 replies, posted in Guitars)
Just like jamesd74 said.. a full size guitar would be fine.. As it sounds better too.. or if you think that it might be a little hard for her to get used to those metal strings.. you can also go for an nylon strings guitar for a start.. and progress to nickel lately, this will help her gradually get her fingers hard and tough and she will feel pain less likely..
And yeah do make her join this forum.. this would help her..

Re: hammer ons and pull offs (5 replies, posted in Newbie Section)
we'll start with "h"
this stands HAMMER. which simply means that you hit like a hammer on the
specified note..
consider notes :
b----5h7---
So this basically means that you will first play 5th fret with your index finger.. and keeping your finger still on 5th fret you'll immediately hit 7th note with yer middle finger.
And this amazing sound you heard was of hammering.
Now "p" i.e "pull off"
e---7p5----- Well in this case you'll play the 7th fret first with your middle
finger but, you'll put your index finger on 5th fret already... so play 7th fret
and immediately pull your finger off the note. so automatically you're ringing
the 5th fret, as you kept your finger on it already.
