1. I'm going to buy my first guitar this weekend probally. My friend Nick has an electric acoustic, that had its electric hardware trashed, when he trusted it to railroad baggage services. It still plays fine acoustic though. He's willing to sell it to me for about 30 bucks. I hope I can rely on you guys for pointers. My main proplemn is I'm bad at remembering which chord is which. I know chords, just cant tell them apart.

    From my experience it'll come with time, but yeah if I can be of any help I'll be be happy to
  3. Yes, Aaron, making a chord is not that hard, the hardest part is remembering its name haha I'm sure you'll make it soon, guitar-playing is an awesome world and soon you'll be hooked. I'm sure

    Haven't gotten the guitar yet, I will post here as soon as I do. In all fairness, I cant read music anyway. Every instrument I have ever played, I did by ear. Surprisingly lots of great guitar players have done that, including my hero, the late Stevie Ray Vaughn.

    New Les Paul ladels'n'gentlespoons - perhaps the new axe for UTEOTW or Elevation? Unlikely on the latter, but perhaps the former? Looks damned sexiful though :M


  6. Where? Looks like his explorer, a tele, one of his cream les pauls (apparently he bought the number 1 LP back?) and his goldtop...

  7. Sure that's his goldtop? Looks like a far deeper colour to me...that's the one I was getting at though
  8. Shold be buying my six string this weekend if all goes right.

    I can read music, but I rarely do (I'm an ear-trained kinda fella too), so let's call it three of us

    On guitarry notes, I noticed Edge was wielding the Mardi Gras Music Rising Gibbo for New Year's Day at Dublin yesterday night so perhaps he didn't buy back the auctioned '75 afterall? Or was it the '76?

    It was a 75. He also has a 73 that looks almost the same, except the volume nobs are a diffrent color.
  12. You guys astonish me everytime
