Hello guys! I just recently bought my first electric guitar and wanted to know what you think about it , I am an absolute beginner and already know some songs like Monster and Enter Sandman. I bought the Yamaha Pacifica 311H Yellow/Satin for 419€ and the Marshall Code 25 for 190€. Let me know if this is a good combo.
(PS: I don’t know if I should remove this kind of thin plastic wrap on the pickguard….)
Is this a good deal? I am complete beginner.
Got a cheap 2k guitar with high action
Learnt some chords on it built some calluses on fingertips
I'm a new guitar player (been playing for about a month) and I've just been trying to get better at one song I'm a little slow but getting better and decided to try singing with it and quickly learned I am horrible at singing and strumming its not my strumming and singing are not matching up its that I can't seem to strum the right pattern while singing my hand stutters and can't figure out what the pattern is that I've been practicing the last three weeks and I'm wondering if this is common? And if so does anyone have any tips?
I dont even know where to begin. I tuned it, i have the amp, i have the pick, i have everything i just.. dont know what else to do? Like what my next step is.? And i tried to use an app to do lessons but its so fast and i cant really understand whats going on. I need someone to sort of physically place my hands or something. Idk. I need hyperspecific instruction please help :( . Edit: i cant pay for any lessons or apps !!! Im a minor so i cant buy anything & my mom doesnt think ill really commit (she even got me a free guitar which is awesome tbh !) But she wont pay for lessons or anything else for my guitar bc of it :(
Hello! I've tried to create a model which based on scores produces the positions how to play them on guitar. Here you can see an output for one famous classical guitar play.
It's really interesting to me if that could be useful for guitar study.
Generally any feedback is very welcome!
I JUST came home with my guitar. Am an older human and have wanted to re-start for years.
If you folks have any advice. I'll take it.
If you folks have any recommendations for resources, online or otherwise, for an old newb, I'll be deeply appreciative.
Hi everyone! 👋
I’m looking for someone who can teach me acoustic guitar online. I’m a beginner and would like to learn from scratch.
If you teach guitar or know someone who offers online classes, please let me know:
Please feel free to DM me. Thanks!
Ive only been playing for like five days, In every video I watched I thought they were pressing down on the string but when I tried it I just got a thunk sound. Im sixteen btw and just saw a 12 year old doing 30 times better than im doing currently
Around 2mm when pressing 1st fret
2.3 without pressing any
yo so i just got into a band, and we're all still in school, cant decide on a song to play... I m the lead guitarist is what I'd say if i wasn't the only guitarist. i only have about 2 yrs self taught exp while my drummer is a god with about 10yrs exp and my singer/bassist? has 5yr singing exp and about 2 yrs bass exp. though idk if shes playing bass.. I'm not so sure if i want to keep on joining because i feel like I'm too inexperienced. the drummer guy.. i think he wants to make a living out of this.. i also do not know how to practice guitar effectively. All i do is search the song tab and if its hard i don't play. there must be a better way to do this? should i get guitar lessons or something..? help!
I just bought my first guitar and more or less have no clue where to start from. What do I do?
My barre chords drove my own guitar teacher insane, so I know the struggle. The first fix: roll your index finger slightly onto its bony side — it presses the strings more evenly than the soft middle of the finger. The second: don't squeeze with your thumb, let the weight of your arm pull the barre in. And it's fine to place the barre first or the rest of the chord first, whatever works for your hand. Barre chords take time for everyone, so go at your own pace.
Here are some ideas:
Consider getting a 12-fret (6-string) steel-string guitar, which means that the neck meets the body at the 12th fret, rather than the more common 14th fret.
Why does that matter? The shorter scale length results in lower string tension, which means it’s easier to do chords!
Many 12-fret guitars have a sexy stylish open-slot headstock! ❤️
Almost all major brands have them, and consider Alvarez as a starting point!
Then for strings, get smaller diameter strings as they have lower tension.
Then, even lower string tension can be found on nylon string guitars. Consider Yamaha Crossover models and Cordoba Fusion models. I have the latter and love it!
For nylon strings, avoid carbon strings as they are higher tension generally. Get nylon such as DAddario EJ-43 that are low-tension “light” strings. Yet, any nylon string of normal/medium tension is lower than a steel string.
This is the acoustic sub, yet please know that an electric guitar is very easy to play.
Play on! Keep making music and play what you love 🎵 🕊️ ☮️
мне ее подарили буквально неделю назад я хочу понять как играть на ней и тд кто может объяснить?Просто по гайдам в ютубе я не понимаю че там делать надо
He estado pensando en squier stratocaster pero no sé cuál será su opinión, porque es que he revisado y por lo que he visto es una buena opción
Postdata:soy de colombia así que porfavor tengan en cuenta ello
Gracias
Ive been learning how to play again after a head injury, and have been slowly getting more into fingerprinting various things rather than strumming songs, (which is still fun, I love playing folk like the Decemberists and The Crane wives) What are some fun things I can play that are relatively simple? Ive really been enjoying stuff from games and movies, lots of the little pieces from outer wilds, down by the river from BG3 have been some highlights from recently.
Hello,
tl;dr at the bottom
This is my second attempt at playing guitar, and I would like it to stick this time. The last time I attempted playing I had to quit because I got carpal/cubital tunnel in my right hand (strumming hand) which forced me to stop playing amongst other hobbies.
Now that I'm back, I'm focusing on proper posture and technique but I'm still getting tingling/numbness in my right hand (primarily the base of my thumb as well as my ring and pinky finger). I noticed that I have tension in my right lateral epicondyle which could be the source of cubital tunnel inflammation.
I've been diligent about hand and forearm physical therapy (therabar, massage, stretching) the past two weeks, and I've included nerve glides in the past week. Every other night I'll cycle between hot and cold presses on my right arm.
Could you please critique my posture, picking technique, etc.? I really want to play, but not at the sake of my health. Thank you
tl;dr my strumming hand goes numb, please correct my technique and posture
