Good job. I had one of those for 3 years, I recently sold it though. After about a year or so(unless you rich) you should buy a set of new pickups, preferably some Lace Sensors by FENDER. or Noiceless pickups. I did and it sounded GREAT. Trust me, you have no idea what your getting yourself into! Guitars are like potato chips, you cant have just one. I have 4. I'm sorry, i like talkin bout my guitars. Well practice, and have fun.

Yes, yes you are. WARNING: This just might make you want to wuit paintball to further your guitar collection, and my advice on this, give into temptation...

I've pretty much worn out these four chords
Does anyone know a few chords that go together that you can play over and over and vary? Thanks

I dont think its a bad idea for beginners to learn basic chord structures with 5th's(powere chords). Its an easy way to play chord, without playing chords.

My suggestion, is to go buy a small chord chart/book. You can learn alot really quickly. Just dont buy guitar videos, ive never seen a good video that actually tought something.

Thanks you guys I am trying to power chord thing... im not sure if I am diong it right though. Do I just play that chord, but one fret up, all the way down the board?

And please, keep them coming

I dont play guitar but alot of my friends do, and one of them is great at it but dosent know how to read music, all he does is reads tabs and memorizes them. I would suggest u trying out tabs, very easy way to learn how to play all of your favorite songs.

Once you figure power chords out, you'll love em. You just keep your hand in the same position, all the way up the neck. Probably all the music that you listen to is power chords.

I'm not very good at guitar. I've been playing for only 4 years. For the person just starting out, I have some advice that I can offer, that has helped me: Don't just read tab. Anyone can read some tab and play popular songs and sound cool. Try to make stuff up on your own. Try to find some other people to play with. Jammin with people will help you improve a lot.

I'm with you on that...

I've played Bass guitar for about 4 years, played in a band pretty much the entire time I had it. About a year ago I bought my friend's "Shorty-Strat" (a white Squire Strat cover in Shorty stickers, he used to be a big time skateboarder), but I really never used it. It's easy to go from guitar to bass, but not so much the other way around. Which kinda was discouraging to me, I wanted to "transfer" my skill. Anyway, I'm up here in college, and I have SO much time on my hands. No paintball either, and to be honest, without a band the bass gets almost boring to play. So this Tues I'm picking my guitar up from being set-up (action, neck straightness, intonation, etc) from a music store. I'm so syked! Man, I just have this wicked urge to play guitar now, weird...

I could go on one of my rants about Squier guitars(look up^^^) but i wont. I will say that they are one of the best guitars for the money. It actually the most sold guitar EVER.
