You are impossible to catch up with. We were over there a couple weeks ago and tried getting hold of you. We couldnt find your number in the phone book and I left it at home.

Oh yeah i forgot to tell you i had my number changed lol... i'll pm it to you.. my laptop charger has been messed up for a few days now so i got to get a new one...
and I haven't seen you around here in forever lol..

So did you get the acoustic or electric?

**crazytaxidriver** · 01-20-2006, 08:46 PM

yeah well you should let me come over and play it lol

Start learning scales and chords.
The best way to learn chords, I think anyway, is to learn some simple songs by your favorite bands.
Good luck!

**thetribe** · 01-24-2006, 01:15 PM

I have a bass, electric, and acoustic and can't play any of them.
My dad bought an acoustic for Christmas YEARS ago, I bought the electric telling myself that I would learn to play it, and the bass was a gift from a friend and later he passed away so I have all three guitars sitting in the corner gathering dust. I can't read chords but I can read normal music..

I didn't realize how difficult it was to play a guitar. The problem is not understand the notes. The problem for me is changing notes on the neck. My fingers just will not cooperate with me. Smile

QQ,

here's a good place to start:

It may look overwhelming at first, but you'll get the hang of it.
