Hey... er... um... I've started playing guitar lately... It's pretty fun to sit and play and make up stuff, but I think I may want to get serious. I wanna get better, so it will be easier to convince my parents to swallow a pill and get me an electric (been playing with an acoustic we have). Does anyone know where I can find some lessons on the Internet or something? I need to know EVERYTHING! Can yoouu help me out? Thanx if you can, pass along the message if you can't.

ThrowawayStyle registered: 4/22/2005 00:00 posts: 11	... acousitc seconded once again. it builds up the power in your fingers for picking, coz when you go electric you'll probz go lazy and use plecs. BUT ultimately its up to you....if you have the budget to buy a decent electric guitar AND an amp, AND the leads and what not....then go for it!

Oreo 14 registered: 4/20/2005 00:00 posts: 419	dunno I'm just learning, so my parents won't get me one yet. I wanna get good to have something to do over the summer and maybe get good enough to start a band. Maybe I can find some other black (African American black) punk kids and start a band called the Oreos. That would be cool. What's a plec?
