Can anyone give me some advice? My daughter would like a new Acoustic guitar for Xmas. She would like an electric acoustic but I don't know what to get. I don't want something too expensive has she has to take it back and forth school, but I don'twant something that id rubbish either. I found this one http://www.themusicking.co.uk/westfield-jb...itar-mega-deal- and was wondering what you all think? Is it ok? are there better ones? what would you suggest, She is nearly 12 and can handle a full size guitar so that won't be a problem. Eric |

Guy's, this may be a stupid question, but does the sound from your guitar only come out of the computer speakers when you connect it up to the GX? I know it's for recording but I like the idea of changing the guitar sounds, like some of the examples in the tutorial vids. I am thinking of getting one, but I see that you use a USB connector to connect it to the PC and the standard Jack to connect the guitar to it. Where does the sound come out? Just the pc speakers? or can you play the adjusted sound through your amp somehow? your help would be appreciated Eric |

sorry for the delay Roger Will try and upload the video by this weekend. I have opted for the John Frusciante Style Lesson. I too have had problems with my web cam. I will be using my video cam from now on. Eric QUOTE (Velvet Roger @ Feb 26 2009, 10:03 AM) Hi Eric, Here is your first individual assignment for the MTP: Assignment #1 - CompleteNewbie Lesson As you have already completed the first two lessons as mentioned in the Syllabus, I would like to continue with the 3rd assignment from it. We are going to focus in this assignment on doing some solo-work. You can choose any of these 3 lessons to work on this week: John Frusciante Style Lesson (easiest one) Slow Pentatonics Lesson (most difficult one) Tarantella Rock - Traditional Folk Dance (difficult parts) I would like you to work through the lesson, and if at all possible record as much of the lesson you choose as possible (but at least about 20 seconds). Try to seperate the solo into small parts and work on them until you have memorized them at slow speed, and gradually speed it up. Listen very carefully to the lesson regarding timing and such and try to reproduce the lesson as good as possible. Deadline Please let me know which lesson you choose as soon as possible. I would appreciate if you could upload your take at the latest on the 5th of March if at all possible. Please let me know how you are progressing during the week. Good luck!!!  |

Hi Roger, I haven't been online for a couple of weeks, sorry. Work as taken a lot of my time recently, so haven't been practicing or getting online. I am a complete beginner. I picked up the guitar in October, and have started following Kris' beginner MTP. I am 42 years of age and I supose my main influences/likes are older heavy metal (ACDC/Black Sabbath/Deep purple) and so on, however, my main goal is to be able to get a tune out of a guitar that someone will recognise HaHa, so being able to play the guitar is my main goal. My theory isn't great, I have viewed/tried the pentatonic video but that's about it I'm afraid. I have uploaded the smoke on the water and the strumming videos but both still need work on my timimg. I can spend probably about 2hrs a day practacing after work. Hope this helps Eric |

Thanks Kris. Still practacing. I will try moving my Thumb around as I have noticed that it helps with the fretting angle..... Just to let you know I am breaking it up with lesson two, just to change the practacing sessions. CN |

Ok, I have the bug!!!!! I would like to get another guitar, but because I have no prior knowledge of guitars, I dont really know what I should be looking for. My first and only guitar is a squire Fender Strat (beginners kit). It's fine for now, as I am still not very good. But getting better!!!!!!. I do like the look of the Epiphone SG- 400 (But that is an Angus Young thing, and I can't aford a Gibson) I don't want to spend huge sums of money, but I'm assuming I need to spend a few hundred GBP. What would your suggestions be when I start looking? what I'm looking for is your ideas as to what I should go and look at and try in the music shops. Any help would be appreciated. |

Hi Canis, I am determined to play, that's for sure. I don't expect to be taking Angus Youngs position for a while though!!!!! The problem I am having, and I know it's getting slightly better with practice, is that because my fingers are short,( well they seem to be compared with some of you guys that have posted vids) when I am stretching over several strings the pad of my finger is touching the other strings, although I am trying to use the point. On the keep practicing point, It was always a boyhood dream to play the guitar, but I never had the time or inclination to do it, (there was always kids out to play) I'm all grown up now and I have more will power to do it.....Just keep practacing!!!!!!!! |

Kris, just an update...... Still practacing.... My problem seems to be that I am fretting more than one string with my fat fingers.  Is this just finger position problems? Is it just practice to stop this happening? CN |

Thanks Kris I will keep practicing. I know it's not perfect yet, but I feel great that I have made some improvement, and I won't be giving up.... I have a Korg GT-3 tuner, and I will check out the tunning right away. Thanks CN QUOTE (Kristofer Dahl @ Nov 24 2008, 09:23 AM) Great CN - I commented it here: http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...=411#comment574 |

QUOTE (Kristofer Dahl @ Oct 19 2008, 11:55 AM) Thanks CN! I can see you have done some great progress with gripping and strumming the chords - very well done! You have also attempted to play with the slowest backings - those are great to get a feel for how the chords in combination with the backing sounds. However playing in time with such slow backings can probably be more difficult than the faster ones. What I would like you to do - is to give this homework yet another week. I would advise you to only practice the chords and the picking/strumming - without the backing - until you can start practicing at least with the 75 bpm backing. Because you have been practicing this for quite a while - you will probably face the phenomenon of "practice-boredom" very soon. Therefore I would really advise you to put as much energy as possible on this now - so we can move oven to the next thing! Othwerise there is a risk your motivation will drop! Thanks Kris, I am practicing hard, my old brain don't work like it used too........ I am determined to learn the guitar, and although I am weary of "practice bordom" , I am continuing unabated...... Watch this space!!!!!!! having fingers like sausages that move slowly don't help..... lol |
