np, glad i could help



well, at the beginning, yes, but if you start to look for patterns and relating things to other positions on the guitar, you'll start to get a grip on this stuff.

hey, you guys, I'm new to the guitar and this website and I have a problem, I'm the least typical guy in terms of problems, I'm ok with my left hand but the right sucks, in other word I can't strum for sh*t, I was wondering if you have tips on how I can improve my strumming and rythm if possib;e, thanks.

U.F.O

I am no expert but you can take every chord , place your fingers right and hard on each fret hold down and just strum..
its also good to be able to change from on chord to another fast.. how?

well strumm a chord so evrey note is clearly hearable and that they alla ring smooth.

after you can handle this chord alone do the same with the another and then try to strum once on one chord and slowly move to another to also strum once and slow

do this again and again

thanks dude it helped alot, sometimes the best thing to do is painfully obvious...

Zamboni

You have to build some finger muscles by practicing. I don't know if this will help for you but it sure helped me a lot. I found that by doing finger excersises and practicing scales i was able to play barre chords a lot better. Try it and after awhile if you see an improvement let me know.

HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ey all, can anybody help me with guitar soloing? whenever i play, it sounds stiff and 1-dimensional? like, is it a distortion trick or what? Like if i cant afford the gear, i cant afford the sound?

Zamboni

^The gear is just an accessory to your sound. With practice and time, you will find your unique style and play much better.
