New Guitar Or Upgrade?

Hi!

I'm using a cheap guitar (A beginner guitar, Fender Squier Bullet something) for around 100EUR but it came to my attention i might need a better one, this is a just a wild guess though. For that matter, do i need a better one for exercising?

So, here's the choices:

1. Buy a new one for ~300EUR (can't afford more)

2. Replace my pickups with http://www.thomann.de/gb/emg_set_sasa85_black.htm

I don't have THAT much of knowledge of guitar parts and how much difference it'll make so throw me a bone here .

(Note: I'm using Toneport UX2)

And a question to Kristoffer Dahl (unless someone else know and is able to answer, that is most appreciated): What amp/effect is used in the section "Beginner Guitar > Power Chords for beginners". It's easier to exercise if i use the same, don't ask why i do.

(Though if i don't have the same amp/effect in my TonePort, could you recommend another one similar in the library of tones?)

Thank You!

Arm, Hand And Shoudles Exercies!

Hi!

Based on my thread: http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...?showtopic=4664

I thought if there could be some good exercises so beginners like me stops wonder why people play an instrument which could give great pain and suddenly stops playing.

Just a thought!

Edit:

How come i ALWAYS manage to type wrong in someplace? *looking at the topic*

Pain In The Wrist!

Hi!

Is it common to experience pain in the wrist when practicing? Or does it hurt in the beginning?

Mine does, alot. The pain goes comes around when I'm in a angle (left hand) in order to hold the frets and continues to spread to the lil-finger. Had a hard time to recover after some practicing the first lesson in the "Beginner" section.
