Beginners unite!

Hey guys!

Today went quite well, although I kinda observed that the group got smaller ever since the very first gathering. It was still good anyway...

Taught noobzpro the pentatonic minor scale and how to solo. Also I showed the shinigami some ideas on improvisations while jamming to a chord progression.

And Matt brought his electric! I had to go off at 5 plus but I had "no choice" lol. He even brought a portable Marshall amp and a metal distortion effect pedal as well. Agh, was a slave to it for quite some time and it was a shred beauty.

I gotta admit we all learned somethign from each other today. Can't wait for the next gathering =)

I really like your rhythm riffs, and your song, i wanna learn more of those stuff.
 
Hey Immortal,

I've checked out a couple of stringing videos at first and I had little ideas about what they were doing at first until I checked out Justin's videos. I've got to say his a really good teacher in YouTube I guess. I think I'll follow his lessons when I stringed my guitar. :)

Anyway guys, I was thinking of getting a cheap acoustic guitar to start as well, since my classical guitar might be returned to my sis after I stringed it. Just wondering what might be some of the recommendations that you guys might have for a beginner guitar? Preferably around the range of S$200-S$300? :)

Sorry for so many questions..

head down to Maestro Music.
i got my first acoustic guitar just today at park lane mall.
its a black acoustic guitar, Maestro SA-1.
costed me $235, includes bag,tuner,picks and guitar.
and a additional $15 for 4 lessons on the basic.
 
@daguero : Maestro has decent guitars at that price range. U can also take a look at Takamine guitar at Davis.

Things to take note are the wood types. I'd recommend getting a solid top guitar cos they sound better and is good for the long run but they are priced a little more.

Another thing is the action (disance between string and fretboard) of the guitar. Most guitars in ur budget would already have low action. High action means u have to press down harder and will affect ur practice.

and finally the shape of a guitar. cutaway or no cutaway. Dreadnaught or grand auditorium size.

Most importantly is u like the overall feel and look(some may say is unimportant but i feel that it is). If u like the guitar chances are u will practice more. :)
 
oh yea remember practice the power chord thing it's very important must really get used to it. well for those who stayed on for my "guitar clinic" u know what i'm talking about

must i press 3 strings at once? how ah? I cannot get my fingers to behave and play a POWER CHORD
 
hey i will be around that area today but not going to bring my guitar as im gonna go make new custom earphones so yea might juz drop by
