Bought my electric guitar today!

[nishikado]

Went down to city music today, spent a good 4hours there to decide what guitar to get leh

Cause the ST-130 don't have the red sunburst that I like, then in the end I got the ST-110 , with the single coil and rosewood fretboard haha..

The people there really very friendly ~!

Got a question eh, how do you guys play sounds like pressing on the fret and there is sound, without picking or strumming?
I did ask the person to show me and teach me, but I still couldn't do it..

if can, like help me find youtube vids also So I can learn easier.. hehe.

tapping? legato? if you're new, you should get your basics right first.

good choice on the guitar purchase. i have personally tried a few craftsman guitars and i think they're the best value for money guitars.

as for the technique u've mentioned, i think u're referring to tapping? go search youtube videos on guitar tapping there should be qutie a few

Yeah It is tapping and legato.
I dunno how hard is hard to tap on it.. Really gotta practice a lot on this I guess

Although I really want the ST-130 cause it comes with a humbucker.. but the red sunburst is out of stock, so got the ST-110 haha

Now problem is I wanna learn, and got no money for teacher Have to rely on youtube ah

Lots of stuff for a range of levels. He has some tapping vids there too.

 

[nishikado]

ah, I see I see

thanks thanks ;D
There's a lot of tutorials there ?

The electric guitar really is a whole new level and experience apart from the acoustic and classical haha. Really fumbled and stoned upon holding it! :x

for one...its a hell lot heavier lol. that's what stunned me for awhile when i 1st handled an electric (almost dropped it). justinguitar does have loads of tutorials but u might have to repeat some of the videos a few times to get the idea. if u got any questions, just follow the thread "beginners unite" and ask away when u meet up with matt

0_o bombard me with questions ah. BRING IT ON!!! lol

 

[nishikado]

@bf0502tr : will do haha

@Likui : eh, only tapping ah. I press the fret board but still no sound! ahhhhhhhhhh

 

[lemonade93]

turn p your gain to the max and put at 2nd position, sure got one

 

[faekildare]

Pick your first note then tap and hammer on and offs away. That should have sound.....

 

[Mirrorboy]

gotta turn up your gain and volume..
