Actually I did at first because someone taught it to me a while back. But Now I can play parts of certain easy songs. Like I said, this is my first week playing. I\'ll get it eventually. I noticed on my On Demand from Comcast, they have guitar lessons you can take for free on their digital cable shit. Gonna do that maybe tonight or something.

oooo. Forgot about that. You have the tab for it?

you dont need a tab,lol. 0-3-3-5-5-8-7-8-7-8-7-3-3-5-5

cool guitar though.

ultimate-guitar.com is probably the best site for tabs. it was mxtabs.com but they got taken down.

Actually Titan you should buy that album.  It\'s called "Machine Head" by Deep Purple.
 
"Smoke on the Water" is not the only song that\'s fun to learn when you\'re starting out.  I\'ve had that album since long before I started playing, and I remember teaching myself how to play other songs like "Lazy" and "Maybe I\'m a Leo."  It\'s a good place to start.  :)

I love the way my Schecter plays. The only thing I don\'t like about it is that it doesn\'t have a tremolo system (which is fine). I wonder if I can modify it later on and put a Floyd Rose system in it when I get the money. This baby I will never part with.

Evi, I like yours. How does teh Yamaha play?
Title: Titan\'s new toy
Post by: Evi on September 07, 2006, 03:31:19 PM
It plays like a dream and it\'s real easy on the fingers. It also stays in tune for a billion years. I have a shitty amp though...that definitely needs an upgrade. I\'m also ditching my keyboard and getting a full size concert piano. That\'s going to set me back about $2,500.

I was going to get a Schecter a while back, but then they discontinued the one I wanted...douche bags. It was more rounded on the body and it had cherry red and black tiger stripes for the design.

You probably can find the guitar you want on ebay. May cost more than retail but you still can find it.
Title: Titan\'s new toy
Post by: Evi on September 07, 2006, 03:48:22 PM
I\'ll have to check on eBay then. It was pretty sweet looking. Right now I\'m just focusing on getting the new concert piano. My current one does not suffice. I need a full size. This is what I\'m getting (it\'s the black one on the bottom) ~>

congrats, always liked Schecters. The only seven string I\'ve ever liked was a Schecter.

Here\'s my stuff, but lately I\'ve been wanting to play some bass so I\'ve been thinking about going out and buy one of those shitty Squier starter packs just to play around with.

No, I wouldn\'t. What you eat pales in comparison to some of the guys I know (talking about 10,000+ calories).

One of the minor reasons I picked up guitar. That and I\'ve always wanted to play it but never motivated enough. I know this sounds funny/rediculous but it wasn\'t until I went through a horrible breakup that I was 100% motivated to play. When I was depressed, I listened to rock music nonstop and it really helped me through. I\'ve actually written/writting/revising lyrics that I\'d like to put to music about my experiences of the breakup.

:( And I\'ve been planning to wear those tight jeans, put eye shadow on and do the flippy thing with my hair.

Don\'t worry. Emo people scare me. It would be a rock song ina  style simlar to Bon Jovi or Bush or something like that.

I\'m actually looking to get an Explorer real soon.

Probably the Epiphone version though... I\'m not rich.
Title: Titan\'s new toy
Post by: Viper_Fujax on September 09, 2006, 08:13:51 PM
theres very few rich musicians. Tough since musical shit costs an arm and a leg. I want a guitar but im going to have to live with my brothers jackson (it sounds good but the restringing process is a pain in the ass) for a long time.

I did just buy a spider II amp though..was 100 bucks off at guitar center.

edit: i kind of take that back. I know of a few rich musicians. One takes advantage of his money and buys some really cool stuff. The other guy is a poser that annoys the piss out of me.
