Q. I'm so confused! I got the guitar for my 7th birthday. My dad tuned it last night. I'm now much older and I want to play, "The only exception" By Paramore on the guitar. It's an acoustic. Can anyone tell me the order of the strings, the notes that goes with them, and that stuff? Thanks, it's a big help!
A. First of all before you learn a song, you need to learn your guitar,(than sounds weird I know) you need to know the names of the strings, they are (starting from the low string to the high string) E, A, D, G ,B, E. yes there are two E strings. The low E and the high E. when I was learning guitar, I was told a simple rhyme to learn the strings. (It's very silly, but affective, I learnt this in year 4, now I'm in year 9) so it goes , Elephants And Donkeys Grow Big Ears. If you learn that. Then playing the guitar will be easier. Now on the neck of the guitar you have your threats (no I don't know the correct way of how to spell that) they are numbered. At the top, starting at number 1 . And all the way down to the bottom. So now you know your guitar. Lets test you out. Ever heard of the song smoke on the water. Well it's easy to play. You only need one string. And that is your lower E string. ( btw the number 0 when playing guitar is when you strum the string without holding onto the threat. ) now you need to play 0 3 5 0 3 6 5 0 3 5 3 0. Now once you've learnt that, congratulations you have learnt your first song. I would continue this but my iPad has 3% left and is about to die so if you wish to contact me,on this address azaria1@live.co.uk best of luck :)
Can you still enjoy playing a electric guitar even though your not in a band?
Q. I play an acoustic guitar and I'm thinking about getting a electric guitar. Is it worth getting even if your not in a band? Can you still enjoy playing even by your self?
I'm thinking about getting a Squier Deluxe Stratocaster.
Do you think it's a good guitar?
A. A squier deluxe Strat is quite good - it's easily adjusted (set up) and the electronics are a couple steps above the Squier Bullet strats (the cheap ones). All of the Squier guitars are made in Asia and imported by Fender. If you could scrape up just another $100 or so, you could get into a FENDER Standard Stratocaster, which are assembled in Mexico but really are good enough to play gigs on - I've used Mexican Fender guitars on-stage - seemed pretty much like my "real" Strat.
OF COURSE it's worth getting... and once you have yourself an electric guitar, you'll be able to find people to jam with. It won't be long until you will be in some kind of band or other live act. Tip: Try to find people better than you to jam with - you'll learn a lot.
If you have an iPhone or iPad - you can use that instead of an amp - I have the $40 iRig which lets me plug in and practice with no noise (listen with headphones). iRig has all kinds of amps and effects you can play around with - digital samples .
Best of luck.
I play guitar, but want to add keyboard and other sounds to my live performance using my feet.?
Q. For example, if I wanted to add a little organ sound or a bell or something like that, I would like to have something I could control with my feet to get those things. I have an ipad, is there something I could use along with the ipad? I also have an alesis iodock, and a midi- capable keyboard.
A. There's several ways to go about it, although nothing that will be cheap, Roland makes the VG99, but at that price your better off just going with the GR55 and buying a 13 pin synth access guitar, it will simplify things provided you can figure out all its features and patches, once you do you can make a single guitar sound like an orchestra, simple flip of a switch on the guitar and a push of a peddle or 2 and the sky's the limit
