Just to get my 2 cents in....

Play where-ever it is most comfortable for you to play. I've never seen you play, but I suspect that it is your left wrist that causes you pain (assuming you play right-handed)...if this is the case, try rotating the guitar so that the fretboar...(more)

<li> take <b>at least</b> one music theory cl...(more)

I should say that I have played decent Squiers and pretty good Mexican Strats, but the quality, playability and general construction of of the guitars is very erratic, and I feel because of that I can not recommend either of those guitars to som...(more)
