hah! let me change it this way:
is ring finger used in rest stroke playing method?
and my about second question... i don't think that it's that much confusing.

i'm now learning this playing method and my main problem is that i can't use my ring finger well and maybe it's because there's no need to use it in this playing method. what do u think?
and the last thing i wanted to ask is that isn't it better to use free stoke method while playing fast arpeggio songs and difficult piano songs?
thanx.

i know. but hey did i ask about different names of this chord?:D

(4 replies, posted in Acoustic)

i don't really know how to play this chord:
E 5
A 5
D 7
G 7
B 7
E 5
it's not that hard to play A shape chords on lower frets and i'm sure that i can be able to play them if i practice harder than now but this chord makes me feel that there's another way to play it and i don't have to put my middle finger, ring finger and little finger on seventh fret of D,G and B. do you know how can i play this chord?
thanx.

excuse me SouthPaw41L  but this guitar is IDEAL FOR KIDS if you read it's overview. yikes
but i have to say that i agree and the one who does it is me not the machine but not as much agree as it can force me to buy that guitar! lol
and hey i'm not STARTING to play guitar as i said.
and another thing is that the guitar that i already have has destroyed my fingers!( i don't really know why?)
and also i just wanted to know if it's easier to play acoustic.

Well as far as barre chords go, it really depends on the size of your hands I guess. I have small hands so thier a real pain. I find them easier on electric, but thie not impossible on acoustic. The acoustic is actually a surprisingly comfortable instrument, just sit down witha few and pick one you have a good feel for.

me too! i've got small hands. so do you thing that acoustic can be good for me? or maybe classical guitar is much better...(specially in playing barre chords)

This really depends on which one you first learn to play.

i already play classical guitar. do u thing that i should continue playing it and don't think about buying an acoustic?

so my advice to you, for what it's worth, is get one of each and discover the harmonious individual differences that go together .

that's a good idea but i don't have that much money to buy an acoustic and then after discovering the harmonious individual differences between this and my classical ask my sef: why did i buy it?

you r right cytania, but the problem is that i loved hard rock genre (even more than classic) and this was the only reason that forced me to start playing electric.

thanx nela and last_rebel but at last playing barre chords are easier or more difficult on acoustic? (zurf says they're easier to play on acoustic and last_rebel says they're bad enough on a narrower neck. what will I say in your idea if i buy an acoustic?)
and is the huge size of acoustic against classical guitar irritating for you and will it make problems for someone like me?
sorry, but i'm a bit worried about the results of my decision.

i've decided to leave listening to hard rock music and making songs in this genre and i'm starting to play the classical songs tabs that i luckily have (actually i don't have the songs only and only because their composers are not alive to advertise their songs especially in the place that i live! lol)(and unfortunately i don't like the idea of thinking zen thoughts.)
maybe it can be useful to calm me down and free my mind and let it be much more powerful like past.
again, it's me so it's MY problem and you don't have to stop playing or listening to hard rock music cuz maybe it doesn't hurt you as much as it hurts me.
i'm not happy to stop listening to hard rock and making songs in this genre but i think i have to.
i'll tell you if the result was positive last_rebel! big_smile

you r right. there are some people who listen to hard music and they don't get that much impressed to stop reaching to success but the article is talking about public and the one who has written this article is not ILLITERATE. she has studied all her life to know the affections of different variety of music on our body. and it's not the thing that SHE says. it's the result of huge researches in huge universities. and these researches are not only about animals. one of the researches mentiones the 34% more success in university exams of the people who played piano against the ones who played timpani.
another thing is that those harsh sounds produces a high amount of adrenaline in body which makes a lot of stress.
and...i my self am a big fan of hard rock music and i don't thing that it's bad or irritating and maybe it depends on the person. whenever i listen to hard rock music it completely occupies my mind and just a second after i put down my headphones  i crazily start to repeat it in my mind and whisper the distorted sounds so i can't focus on a math problem to solve. i can't really think! (although i'm a big fan of hard rock.)
and at the school exams because of the adrenaline and also because of my mind's occupation i make a lot of strange mistakes which i didn't make last year when i played and listen to classical and country music.
anyway, i'm sorry if i have bothered you.

^the first clear and useful answer that i've got since i started  to post here! lol
thanx so much Zurf.

i read this article and several other articles about differences between classical music and hard rock music affection on human's body and mind. look at this...

"Take for instance classical music versus hard rock music; scientifically can we truly determine how it affects us? We can. You may have heard of the studies in which plants are subject to long hours of classical and hard rock music or heavy metal. The results of these tests have always been the same, the hard rock and/or heavy metal music caused the plants growth to deteriorate. Classical music however helped the plants grow faster.

A similar experiment has been done with mice. David Merrell, a high school student in Suffolk, Virginia won first prize in the state science fair for his science project to determine the effect of music on lab mice. He created a maze that took mice about 10 minutes to negotiate. Then Merrell played classical music to one group of mice and hard rock music to another for 10 hours a day. After three weeks, the mice exposed to the classical music made it though the maze in 90 seconds. The rock music group took 30 minutes. Merrell added, “I had to cut my science project short because all the hard rock mice killed each other. None of the classical music mice did that.† Not only did the rock mice take longer, something in the music caused them to kill each other! While the classical mice benefited from the music, the others wound up dead.

How do you take this information and apply it to humans? Will people who listen to hard rock or heavy metal music end up killing each other? The answer may surprise you. One of the greatest causes of sensor neural deafness in the youth of our nation is their addiction to the violent and harsh sounds of hard rock and heavy metal music. The damage to the sense of hearing is great, yet the hard rock music may cause even greater harm to the mind."

it was written in virtue magazine. and it's the link:

so....is a electric guitar player in danger? how about someone who only listens to hard rock songs?

hi everyone,
i want to buy my first acoustic guitar but i do worry about so many things.
1. i read in many places that acoustic guitar is good for a pop, country, rock lover not for someone who loves classical music PLUS ALL THOSE GENERS.
2. and also is not good for someone who plays with his nails. (when i play the bass strings on my classical guitar there's a little noise but i think acoustic guitar strings are different...aren't they?)
3. i don't see any changes in different classical guitar models but i see many differences in acoustic different models and it doesn't let me to even think about just changing my classical guitar.

and excuse me does the narrow neck of acoustic guitar make playing harder?

thanx.

so you thing they're good for me. yeah?
even for someone with small hands and short fingers?[i'm 15 but i don't really know why my hands aren't big enough?]
and another thing that i wanted to talk about is that when i use my pick i often strum another string instead of the string that i want to strum and i've got problems with it.[maybe it's its problem or maybe i hold it wrong] but with my fingers[nails], i do it very well and there's no problem with it except the bad noise that it makes when i strum my steel strings. what can i do to solve this problem? if the sound is like THIS in acoustic so how irritating can it be in electric?!?!?!
maybe i have to play with pick....is it the only way to solve this problem?

i know that jumbo frets make playing easier and also faster but i read somewhere that they are designed for experienced players and not for someone like me. [who has started learning guitar last year!!!] and they can make me leave playing forever!?!?!
and also how can i slide easily while the crowns on the fretboard are wider and higher?
thanx.

when i just play four barre chords after eachother without rest my hand hurts. therefore i have to stop playing about 10 seconds and then start again. and when i play them once again it hurts... maybe it's becuz i don't do it correctly.
whenever i play barre chords  the special part of my hand that hurts is my thumb becuz the main pressure of playing those chords is on it.
can u help me friends?

hey, i haven't got an electric guitar! and as you know i've got an acoustic one A-N-D as you know it doesn't have something like an amplifier to change the voice of each note the way you want and in my idea, you can play electric guitar sounds only by electric guitar.

and hey i wanna know the TITLES of some great and famous acoustic guitar songs. why doesn't everyone tell me those TITLES?
