he can play and teach?

[Kelly]

He can play, that's for sure. He could prolly help you out a lot and i'm sure he wouldn't mind.

[Ed]

[Killer]

I'M HERE!!! I'M HERE!!!

[Ed]

I'M HERE!!! I'M HERE!!!

so can you teach?

[Sol-Badguy]

I play, but I'm not NEAR well enough to teach.

[Killer]

lol, i strictly play rythm though.. i'm not sure what ur wanting to learn....

i can teach you how to play chords... and basically how to read tablature(spl) but i myself can't read music so...

[Kyle]

Lolololol. But reall does he play any good rock or just faggy stuff like Jack Johnson?

[Kelly]

cool. let me know your availability.

[Killer]

Lolololol. But reall does he play any good rock or just faggy stuff like Jack Johnson?

i'm sorry i have a different taste in music than you....


i use to play "rock" not old rock but some of the newer stuff, but after awhile i got bored with it to be honest... my parents bought me an acoustic.. and i basically never picked up my electric again...




ed, if anything else, i've got some books you need to borrow, read up on... i tought myself, and i don't know the things a guitarist should know.. to be honest... but if you wanna hang out maybe learn a little i'd be more than happy to show you what i know.. then you can go from there.....

[Killer]

cool. let me know your availability.


well, i'm literally .3 seconds from sidelines.... and i'm home practically every night.. i get home about 6:30 or so...


what kind of guitar do you have?

[XanRules]

Play Bass instead :D

[Ed]

i need to buy one still... if you got an extra one ill buy it...

and yes to the books that would be cool.

[Ed]

i find bass boring. sorry

Do you still? :D :D :D

Good Luck in your quest, by the way!

[Ed]

not bad videos... but thanks anyway :)

[Killer]

Play Bass instead :D

bass can be easier, or way more complicated....

the basics are easier though.... single notes are easier to hit than chords....

BUT chording a bass and doing all that crazy shat is insane (my room mate is an incredible bassist)



Ed, i don't have one you could buy (i did have one awhile back) but i could let you play mine, and i'll just use my room mates.....

what kind of guitar are you looking for? acoustic? electric? acoustic/electric? hollowbody/electric?

it is easier to learn on an electric, BUT i prefer an acoustic... because it builds up your fingertips then playing an electric is much easier....

[Ed]

acoustic for now...

[Clegger]

I can teach you how to play Guitar........................ Hero, its like way harder and chicks dig it more haha

[Ed]

I can teach you how to play Guitar........................ Hero, its like way harder and chicks dig it more haha

i have to disagree... it seems pretty dumb lol

[Clegger]

lol no shit man I was being sarcastic. I wish I knew how to play real guitar

[Killer]

lol no shit man I was being sarcastic. I wish I knew how to play real guitar

as do all guitar hero's..... lol...


i think it's hilarious to see those kids in walmart thinking they are bad... you hand them a real guitar and the look of confusion takes over their faces... lol...



ed, what are you looking to spend on one.. if you don't mind me asking... and are you left or right handed?

[Ed]

clegger thought you were being serious my bad...

right handed... not too much maybe 100-200 bucks... something simple for now

[Kyle]

Somebody's jealous...
Eh not so much, just lol'n at you really.


i'm sorry i have a different taste in music than you....

Ah that's cool, kinda surprised you got bored of it, but I guess things change.I played electric for a while, had a nice setup and everything, but I never had time so I just quit.

[OneSlow5pt0]

i want to learn too,next time i get a good bit of $$ im goona buy a nice starter guitar

[Killer]

Eh not so much, just lol'n at you really.

i started out on an electric... it was a strat styled cheapo that my grandmother bought me..... cheap amp too....

my parent's got me a plain acoustic a couple years later.. and i fell in love.. not needing an amp to be heard wins in my book! lol.. i then took the two guitars and tore them apart.. just to see what i could do with them..... yeah that didn't work out too well! lol (oh and in the meantime i had bought an electric acoustic, it's a regal.... it's made by "CURBOW" he hand makes guitars in blue ridge and is literally world famous... mine is one of his production guitars though.. his hand mades are crazy expensive).... i also bought an ibanez arx100.... bad ass electric.. but i never touched it.. so i sold it awhile back....



ed, i'll do some looking around for you... i know some one with lefty... all you need to do is switch the bridge.. which is simple.... and i've got some other friends that may have something as well...

Nice, I feel like even if i continued I would have not been too great. But do you know what site I can use to figure out exactly what kind of guuitar I have. I bought it a while ago from a friend. It's one of the nicer 1996 Epiphone Les Pauls, he says he paid $600 for it but I can't figure out what exactly it is.

[Ed]

thanks killer... let me know... im free tonight, if youre up for anything... im usually bored at nights...

[Killer]

well, gibson makes epiphones.... and originaly it's a gibson les paul...... and they make A LOT of different les pauls...

epiphones are a bit cheaper than actual gibsons.. but still great guitars...

i would just google it to be honest... or maybe hit up some sort of gibson site/or guitar forum...


or look for a serial number...

[Killer]

thanks killer... let me know... im free tonight, if youre up for anything... im usually bored at nights...

i'll give you a holler later... i may get one of my other friends to come down and we can all play just strum a little. what time is best for you?

[Ed]

im home at 7. anytime after that.

[Ed]

you got my number?

[Kyle]

Yeah I know the basics about gibson and epiphone. It's the typical cheaper japanese/chinese countrepart. Like BBS and ASA. But yeah when I googled it I was seeing that there are tons of editions of les pauls. Thanks for the advice though, I will try that.

[Killer]

yeah, les pauls are awesome... but there are soooo many differnt styles and editions....


if you pull up a 96 you should be able to narrow it down though...




ed, i'll pm you my number..

[OneSlow5pt0]

we played the same board... and you didn't need any coins at all... u just had to make it to the end.... (coins were literally to buy candy, and get rides further up the board) and i didn't buy anything extra because i wanted to have the coins i needed to get the star.... :(

[Killer]

yeah, i might go buy it tonight... :D

excuses... that is all...

and yes you need to watch nascar, you're a redneck... shit does that mean that if i buy a truck i must watch it as well?

Grab an acoustic, a cheap beginners book (one with a CD to listen to and play with is helpful) and have at it. Tear through the book at your own pace and when you're done practice a bit with just made up riffs on the chords you know. Work on the transitions, check out some simple tabs and youtube videos that teach you how to play things, and bam.

I've been teaching myself for 3 months now and I played my first set at an open mic the other night with a friend. It just takes a lil effort

yeah, i've got him started on half the stuff you mentioned, books, tabs, trasitions, powerchords... he's picking up pretty well.

[johnnyd]

cool, only other thing I recommend is start acoustic, go from there. Power chords don't sound so hot on it though. But it builds up the callous on your fingers and makes it easy as hell to transition to electric
