So, I, uh, bought this guitar..

[teufelhunden]

I have no idea how to play guitar. So I bought one. Hoping I may one day learn well enough to actually play it for my friends or something. Don't know a damned thing about the guitar or amp tho.. except the guitar is an Ibanez and the amp is a crate or something. Anyway, pics:






Sorry the pictures suck, but I'm too lazy to drag this stuff outside.

Not to steal yer thread or anything.. but I also just bought one.



Yea, I'm getting it down slowly...

[undescriptive]

the Ibanez guitars are nice and solid built guitars that should see you for a long while

the Crate amp is a nice bit of kit too, I'm looking to upgrade to the 120Watt 2x12 Crate in the near future...

good luck on learning!

have a look @ the tutorials on http://www.olga.net they can be quite helpful too....

Good job, welcome to hell.


Just kidding, guitar is fun. Don't get frustrated if you don't sound like whoever you want to sound like, though, because you won't. I know I don't.

nice setup there as a first guitar. its simple to get the basics down for playin... but dont go crazy trying to learn hard solos or anything just yet. i mean, hell my first guitar was one of those firstact's that u see in wal-mart... lol i didnt care then cause i was just learning


but the first song i ever learned to play in full was "stay together for the kids" by blink 182, its extremely easy once u get the feelin for it

Just to go a music store and pick up a how to play guitar book. Thats what i started on and i have been playing for 4 years now.

hahaha, is this a good guitar? the letters on the top of the neck near the tuning knobs [i know there's some special name, but i don't know it] say gio, but I couldn't find that on their site.


Also, there's a switch thingy near the volume and tone knobs, It has three positions. What does it do?
