Hi all.
I believe.. no, I KNOW it's time to change the strings on my guitar.. I just KNOW it can sound better. I have never changed them. I have the guitar for over a year, and have been playing daily for about 5 months.

Plus, although there is no dirt on the guitar, it looks like the frets could use a little polishing.

Help! I read that you shouldn't remove all the strings at once.  But how can I give the guitar a proper cleaning if the strings are there?  And what should I use to polish it, without putting oils and stuff on it?

I'm thisclose to bringing it to a shop, but I really want to learn how to do this myself. Can anyone suggest a link to a video? 

Thanks,
anastasia

Hi everyone.

I printed a tab recently for Norwegian Wood by the Beatles, and there is a chord there that I don't know.. can't find anywhere.. can someone enlighten me?

It is shown as  D(C#bass

Or maybe it's just C#bass

Anyway, I appreciate any help on this!

Wow... thanks everyone. I have opted to try different fingering in the meantime (thanks Nela) and forego the crazy glue.  smile

Happy recovery to everyone who has become injured while reading this post, or otherwise!!

Hello all. I have a question regarding injuries.  One of my fingers has a cut on it, and I was wondering what is the best way to proceed in playing guitar with something like this (wow.. kind of a silly question).

I don't want to stop practicing, yet it's really painful, and in fact I can barely use the finger at all (it's the index).

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
anastasia

Hi everyone! I am having a WONDERFUL time learning so many songs, and who would thought that I have just been playing for about 3 months! I am so proud of myself. I have to say what helps is the fact that I can print the chord diagrams on my sheets! This is so very helpful!!

My question is, when I check the chord variations, some diagrams have a number beside them. What does this number mean?

Thanks, I appreciate any help from anyone.
