I'm Not Worthy of this Purchase

I always thought Yablo was black.

E

i just bar the motherfucker...

[Yablonowitz]

Right, but it isn't too difficult, just needs some practice. It's not that different from an open C. Here's an image:

Yeah, that shit is tough. I can get the fingers there, but I either lose pressure on one of the strings or rub up against an open string with one of my fingers. I have thin boney fingers too...but a retarded brain controlling them...so there you go.

[downingthief]

Patience, young Padawan.

[Yablonowitz]

Hey Greg, practice the C to Am change. It will please you because it is easy. You only move one finger.

I need to strum C more, I haven't done that much. A, E, G are my specialties right now. Oh, and Aminor and Eminor. D is a thorn in my side.

[thinnerair]

Look up the tablature for 'About a Girl' by Nirvana
It s an easy song that once you start picking up, it ll be a good song to fall back to when you get discouraged from butchering songs that are a bit tricky.

Once you get that D down, you are ready for "One I Love" by REM.

[PotVsKtl]

I recommend Wish You Were Here.

play Green Day's "Time of Your Life" in a dorm hallway until your ass bleeds.

[Yablonowitz]

Well...none of those quite have the kick of "What Do You Do With a Drunken Sailor," but I guess I can give 'em a try.

I think we've already established that my ass bleeds fairly easily.

Update please.

[bballarl]

How are the calluses?

[Yablonowitz]

They are ok. My skin is peeling and my first three fingers have a permanent indentation in them.

I've now decided that the first song I'm going to play completely is Bruce Springsteen's "Valentine's Day." Why? It's easy and I like it and I actually sorta got to feel like I was playing something for once.

[bballarl]

Roadrunner is another good first song. And Whole Wide World. Both are two chords.

[ewiggy]

my first song on guitar was Come as You Are. but this isn't about my first song.

[Mr.Nipples]

learn heroin...easy, and you can work on singing at the same time...

[bballarl]

Oh yeah, Heroin is two chords also.

[Yablonowitz]

Cover me, Porkins.

[Mr.Nipples]

hows it coming?

[BROKENDOLL]

Pull back. Two chords. That's all I'm trying to accomplish right now. I was going to buy a chord book for beginners today, but I was too late getting to the music store and it had closed.

Nice guitar you got there~ Just look up PJ's Guitar Chords, Tabs, and songs on the internet for various music and chord charts~Damn job entailed having manicured nails and lot of hours...Lost touch with my guitar about 9 months ago...I haven't been quite right since.Seeing that pic just made me realize that. MUST PLAY AGAIN!

[BROKENDOLL]

Sounds like you've got some great support here on the board~ I like the super glue idea...Must try that as I begin all over again...I've done this break thing before and it's like riding a bicycle...'Cept for the callouses...Once you got 'em though...watch out "F" chord! Practice some scales as well to loosen up your fingers beforehand..makes a big difference in moving from one chord to another~ Damn! Almost sound like Eddie Van Halen here, no?

[PotVsKtl]

I wonder if playing a stringed instrument makes it hard for blind people to read braille.

[TomAz]

[PotVsKtl]

I don't see any of them reading. They've got callousightedness I bet.

[Yablonowitz]

I've been slacking bad. I did learn to play "Horse With No Name." Fucking mid-tempo two-chord beast.

Thanks for the links XXperson, I think I need actual lessons.

[RotationSlimWang]

Play Freebird, cocksucka.

[bballarl]

I can teach you all the Tet Holiday tunes.
