Re: Guitar starter songs (20 replies, posted in Acoustic)
Pink has a new album out, quite a few acoutic songs on it....have no idea what the chords are and whatnot (if you figure it out do tell <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_smile.gif" border=0 alt="Smile"> ) so I have no idea if it would be difficult or not, but it would be really tear-jerking to see a ten year old playing "Dear Mr President"...one called "I have seen the rain", Pink's dad wrote forty years ago that they sing together on it, maybe a new song for you two?
Best wishes,
Steph

thanks a bunch eveyone,
suppose your responses led to another quiry...I have been trying to tune as Chris has mentioned above, using the tuner to get the e string right off the bat, then guess going from there, attempting to work it out, checking and adjusting everything with the tuner when I think I have it. I have fairly new strings (4 months) and was told it was going to take a while to stretch, hold a tune and to be prepared to tune it often. Which is fine, but when it that going to stop? It seems like by the time they're done stretching, it'll be time for new strings. How often do I have to change them?
thanks a bunch,
Steph

WOW, a lot of great responses. I was surprised that it took so long to mention the Rolling Stones down in the thread.....my all time fav without a question, I think U2 are also at their caliber, if not close to it.
For up and coming, do check out "Feist", she rocks, I was really impressed.

Hi there,
Had some of the same issues myself....I found that Tracy Chapman, Beatles and White Stripes were generally simple chording...

Re: need help tuning (18 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
Hi there everyone,
I am a very low level guitar player, my theory is much higher than my practical ability at this point (an embarassing difference I might add). I would really like to be able to identify notes by ear, be able to tune my guitar by ear (or least be closer to the actual tuning). At present, I can figure out when it's wrong and when it's close, but <b>need the tuner </b>to figure out when it's right. I would really like to not rely on it so much. Does anyone have suggestions to training your ears?
Thanks so much
