Re: The Fender Forest, Gibson and copies (like Tokai). How to find your way (7 replies, posted in Electric)
i found the weight pretty much the same as the gibson i just prefered the sound i got out of it i guess its just personal preferance at the end of the day a few of my friends own gibsons and i have mucked about on them but the tokai just seened to be a bit more me.
anyone else play a tokai here?

Re: The Fender Forest, Gibson and copies (like Tokai). How to find your way (7 replies, posted in Electric)
i bought a new guitar today and when i was trying some of them out i tried a GIBSON les paul studio also a few epiphone les pauls and a tokai love rock (les paul copy) i didnt like the epiphones at all just didnt click and so did this go for the GIBSON but i liked the tokai guitar enough to buy it hope this makes sense as not the most expensive guitars are the best. i payed £600 for it and am very pleased with it.

Re: Fingering for G chord (15 replies, posted in Electric)
i use 4 fingers to play the g chord having my first finger on the low e string(3rd fret) my second finger on the A string (2nd fret) and my third and fourth on the B and high E strings (3rd fret) it is such a nicer sounding chord even though i do play it with an open B string at times though which ever way i feel like.

Re: Higher Action (6 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
i had this problem to. You should check your neck to make sure its straight if the top of your neck is bent upwards due to the tension in strings. i didnt pay anything for it to be staightened. But i did get it restrung with a lighter strings and then straightened (truss rod) i payed £12 ($24) for it to be restrung properly. best advice i could give would be go see someone in a guitar shop who can repair them or give better advice than me im still a beginner maybe someone on hear could help with better advice than me.

i had it about a month ago when i started playing tears in heaven by clapton i was absolutely awfull at first but after i practiced for a few hours i sat it down and said id come back to it the next day as soon as i picked it up again i could allready hear myself playing it better with the timing and hitting almost every string correctly im still not perfect but i can play the song without thinking so much on what im doing and it just sort of comes naturally in the end.

Re: Capo too tight to put on my guitar? (17 replies, posted in Acoustic)
if uve got a few more pounds u could try the G7th Capo it has a 5 star rating in some magazines i read but is a bit on the pricey side (£25 around $40) its very simple to use and looks good, im sure if anyone else has used these theyl agree with me that its a great capo.

Re: Just learning needing help (5 replies, posted in Electric)
an acoustic guitars strings are alot more tighter (not sure thats the corredt term to use but u get the drift) if you learn on an acoustic when u come to learning the electric ul fi d it alot easier as your fingers have built up enough strength plus the tip of each finger would of hardened a bit im currently still a beginner but i was given this advice by a friend of mine and although i own an electric (les paul)i found that learning on an acoustic really gives you an advantage when you come to change, i think someone posted on here not long ago about not going from one type of guitar to another. Hope it Helps Have Fun

Hello everyone
Ive just booked my self in for some guitar lessons and was curious as to wether they are actually worth it or would self teaching be just as good, plus another thing is the price il be paying around £16 (around $9)and was just wondering weather it was cheap. But mainly was just curious as to what every thought of lessons compared to self teaching.
