There are loads of ways this can be achieved but it depends a lot on your budget and how important quality is - also whether it is electric guitar or acoustic guitar you are trying to record!

Hi welcome to the forum.
It has been a little quiet round here of late but that is about to change so I hope there is plenty to learn and discus relating the guitar.
How long have you been playing for?

Re: Best guitarists (18 replies, posted in Guitar Players)
alastair.grems - you are correct. Technically I guess Petrucci is the best but I think the whole " best guitarist" is difficult to define as ultimately there is no way define best, it's personal preference!

Re: Need Help With two Songs (5 replies, posted in Newbie Section)
Well these should both be pretty easy to work out as looks like simple enough chords though the first has a capo on 4th fret so will be hard to play along without one!

Re: Electric or Acoustic?? (3 replies, posted in Newbie Section)
Sorry for the delay in replying.
Whilst there is not right or wrong way of leanring the guitar I would always advise people start playing on the acoutic. This is for several reasons.
Firslty an acoustic guiar is slightly harder to fret the notes. This builds strength in your fingers that otherwise you would not have.
Secondly, with the electric guitar with the sound of the guitar and the sound of the amp plus any effects mistakes can easily be covered wheras an acoustic guitar ialmost highlights istakes which you fix and become a better player.
Acoustic starter guitars are often cheaper and of higher quality than cheap electric guitars so you can really get a feel for it guitar is for you.
My advice - go acoustic - you can always go electric later on and be a mster of both styles but ultimately the choice is yours!
Hope that helps

Re: Need tips and advises (10 replies, posted in Newbie Section)
Are you playing one note per beat?
Just keep improving it by one each day - or when you feel comfortable with the previous.
e.g if you can play a pattern perfectly at 300 bpm then go to 302 and keep practicing until this is also perfect then go to 304 etc etc.

Topic: Borrowed Chords (24 replies, posted in Music Theory)
I would be really interested in hearing peoples take on borrowed chords - chords from outside of the key that still work and sound great.
for example - I always find that the iv (4th chord of the key made from major to a minor) works great in a load of songs -
For example - in the key of C we have
C Dm Em F G Am Bdim
If you take the 4th chord which is F major and change it from teh F major to the F minor t still really sounds great and doesnt seem that far out from the key,
I'm wondering what other outside or borrowed chords people like to use when composing their music?

Re: Need tips and advises (10 replies, posted in Newbie Section)
Hi there
I think anyone who is willing to work at guitar can become as good as they want - some people have it in their blood which means they have to work less hard to achieve the same - though the end result is the same!
You can only get fast by playing a pattern, scale or lick slowly and accurately, then speed it up slowly, keeping it accurate and each day continue to do this.
you will eventually get fast while still playing hte notes correctly though it will take time and practice!
Also I found that you naturally get faster in playing the more you play that sort of music anyhow.
Good luck and keep us informed of your progress!

Re: Easy listening song books (chords and picking) (3 replies, posted in Newbie Section)
Well don't forget to do a book search over at http://www.ollysguitar.com
Other than that I would suggest, assuming you are looking for some sing along songs, look for a good fake book - these have melody lines and chords above and are pretty good for inspiration.

Re: snapping strings (1 replies, posted in Guitars)
is this your thinnest E?
Even the cheapest strings should not do this. I would take a guess that there is a rough part of metal on the bridge that needs filing somewhat. This is the only thing I can thing of that would cause this.
Check for any rough parts and see.
Good luck
