Hello tandm3, craig 23, thanks for your comments
jaygordon 75, thanks for your kind advice. The Boss SD-! super overdrive has been suggested to me by others so I will have a closer look at it now that I have some direction.
I will also take up your advice re- guitar knobs all the way up, lots of gain on amp.
Needless to say, I am not too familiar with modern electric guitars and amps etc, having bashed away on accoustics since the late seventies, however I am having a ball trying.
Much appreciated
Cheers

Hello will236, I am with bensonp on this, learn to use your 2nd,3rd,4th fingers. This is not a bad way to play a G chord as well, it makes the change to a C chord quite easy I found.
You seem to be prgressing very well after only 6 days, take your time and everything will fall into place and you will wonder what you made such a fuss about.
Cheers

Tandm3,  I found your reply quite negitive, not the kind of advice I have come to expect from friendly fellow Chordians. My question was "can anyone point me in the right direction" and went on to describe my music taste and equipment so as to maybe get some advice that is relevant. Your reply, "you have to go to a music store and try some" does not help at all. Incidently, the nearest music store is 185klms from my home, hence my question on Chordie for some help, having done a lot of online research before hand.

Hello all,
            I have just read back through the thread after I last posted. I have drifted off the origanal concept and I apologise for that.

4kgrabysky, 
                 I read in our local newspaper a couple of days ago that a nice little village had lost their idiot, nah, it couldn't be he turned up here.

G'day Pining,  good choice on the maton em225c, I have had one now for 4yrs and it is a keeper for sure. Maton back up and service has been outstanding. Could not be happier. Only thing to be mindfull of is to watch the humidity if you live in such an area that has high humidity. A couple of tubes of a product called MUD, which you can get at most music shops will take care of this when placed in a case with your Maton.

Hello all,  I turned 60 a couple weeks back. Started on guitar back in secondry school about 1964 with a few mates and eventually started a band, I played bass back then. I have had many interuptions to playing over the years but hard at it again, for about 3 years this time around. A record of sorts for me. I am mainly self taught but have had a lot of help from Jim Beam, Jack Daniels and Austin Nicholls. Some of you may have heard of them. Great singing coaches as well. I am mostly into country and rockabilly these days, not too hard on the old joints. Live in Queensland, Australia.  Chordie is sensational.   Cheers Bushy

Thanks dguyton, your'e a champ.  This is the sort of info I need. I will give "trainbilly" a try with a bit of reverb in accoustic. I will also have a look at www.mygdec.com/,  thanks for the tip.
Hope you don't mind if I get back to you with any other questions.
Cheers Bushy

Hello all, a great mix of ages on here.  I will be 60 in 2 weeks time. Started on guitar when I was in secondry school about 14 or 15 years of age. I have had a lot of stop and starts since then. First off conscription (Viet Nam), marriage, family,work. I now have 1 son and 2 grandaughters playing guitars, the eldest grandaughter plays keyboard as well, so we have some great jams together. Very special, 3 generations having good times together.
Happy days
Bushy

Thanks to all for your comments. After trying out several hollow body guitars, I settled on a Greg Bennet Royale and picked her up today. Sounds sweet, better sustain than Epi. Wild Kat and better overall than Ibanez and cheaper than both of these. I plugged it into my G-Dec at home, my wife still lives here and my dog did not run away so all is good so far.
I will keep you all posted on progress if you are interested.
Cheers for now
