Beginner's Effect Pedals Lesson!

Hi GMC! I've been playing guitar for 9 months now and I haven't really explored into effect pedals only because I don't know much about them!
Can one of you guys make a lesson on all the different effects?
I couldn't find a lesson that included all or most of them.

If you could include stuff like: examples of when to use the pedals/effects, and how to set up etc (order)..that would be GREAT!
*Remember it's for beginners who know basically nothing (like me)

Hi Gmc!~

Hey everyone! My name is Meg and I'm 17. I've been playing the electric guitar for about 9 months now.
I joined GMC after 5-ish months of teaching myself and the lessons really helped me get a lot more creative
with creating music and also helped me explore new techniques!!!

Um let's see I like to play Rock n Roll (any Rock music, really!), and Blues, but I like playing almost any style (even metal) if it's got a nice feel.
To start off, I bought an Epiphone Les Paul Special II and a Line 6 15w spider amp---which is great start gear!! (totally recommended for starters)


As a female guitarist, I find it hard to find other girls with the same interest in being in a band. There IS one girl band that I know of in my area but they're an all out gothic-metal-band (not my type). And the guys that I know don't really respect me in a musician-kinda way, a couple of them talk about girls being on the bass guitar, etc - which I think is real retarded. So basically it's very hard getting into a band (the ones I know if are either not-serious or already full) and forming one as a beginner-intermediate isn't going to well! (I have a lil duo-band thing going-like the White Stripes-with a good friend of mine, she plays the drums-kinda..but she doesn't practice and is not dedicated to making some real music to be proud of. It's just too frustrating to keep going so I stopped trying to work on the band music.)

I wanna know if anyone else here has the same struggles I do in this band situation..especially if you're a female guitarist!


GMC rocks!

Peace~
