Hey,
You'll get it. Guitar is 90% practice and 10% everything else. I would guess your probably learning some basic chords and your fingers are spasing out when you change chords. And sometimes you get notes, sometimes dull thuds? right?

I severely cut my ring and middle fingers (at different times). The doc said I couldn't press on the strings for 3 to 6 weeks depending on healing time. Both times. I did two things that were very different for me:

You could search through the online lessons here at WN - tons of good stuff. A lot of punk is three chord stuff like G - C - D (or D7). Start with those chords and you can get a lot going.

New strings! Try some different brands like Markely Blue steels or Ernie Ball slinkies. I actual like Gibson Vintage nickle the best. You can also try different guages thought it could affect the neck a little.

Well, I go through guitars quite frequently (ask Uncle Rex!). The problem is I always keep one near by, like in my car, so after a while the hot and cold cycles get to them, warped tops, necks, broken tuners etc. I just got my latest, a Fender...(more)

Yes. For this pattern, the lowest note(A) on the 6th string defines the minor mode and the 3rd note(C) defines the major mode. The minor mode (Aeolian mode) of any scale is the 6th note of the major scale. So for example, Em has the same notes a...(more)

I'd rather die peacefully in my sleep, like my grandfather. Rather than screaming in terror, like his passengers.

I have two QTime Metronomes they both deliver a loud click, which you can turn off. They also have a blinking cursor as a cue. One of the metronomes is about the size of a deck of cards. The other has the dimensions of a credit card. Both work f...(more)

I agree with getting an acoustic. I would suggest a dreadnaught style, steel strings. A classical is a little smaller and has nylon strings. You can spend anywhere from 100 to 10000 dollars on guitar. I would reccomend one from the Canadian Luth...(more)

the "gold" hardware is really like pbrass plating and wears off after a while. It make no difference to the tone but it ups the price. You really have to hear the pickups to decide what you like about the sound.
