hmmm...

"anyone else but you" by the moldy peaches.

really really easy. G and C, you can make it even easier by doing G with the 2nd string on the 3rd fret and then, instead of switching to a regular C, just do Cadd9 (E0A3D2G0B3e3)

nice thread!

mine is "space oddity" by David Bowie. I started learning guitar a few months ago because I wanted to play this song so badly.

didn't pick a really easy song...

I'm still struggling with the barred C F G A riff part a bit, but i'm getting near...

practice is the answer, no other way around.
I learned to do quick F, Bm and C#m just a few weeks ago and I've been playing non stop since the day I picked up the guitar for the first time. And I mean non stop as in every free moment alone @ home was spent playing the guitar, for three months and a few weeks. And I really do mean non stop. It is frustrating at first but what the hell, I just knew that If I kept on trying I would make it...and I did!

Hello everybody!

I'm learning to play the guitar...I have been practicing non stop (well, I still have to go to work and study for the uni, but most of my free time at home is spent on The Guitar) for 3 months.

My teacher is on vacation and I have this question to ask him... basically, the last time I replaced the strings on my classical guitar, He said it was a good idea to change the last 3 strings (metal) before replacing the first 3 ones (nylon), since those wear out more slowly so to speak...

My question is, how do I know when to replace the 3 first strings for new ones? the last 3 I know, they look and sound horrid, or simply break, but I don't know about the first 3...

Any help?

Muchas gracias

Ah, I would just go with the chords and mind about the picking later...

Time of your life is not that hard... G C D quite fast if I remember correctly? Chord playing will give you huge satisfaction that will keep you hooked. Let picking for later....
in my ultra humble opinion of course.

I was wondering who came up with Bm and was planning on giving the guy a visit..but I just kept on doing it over and over (from G to Bm) and now it's coming along nicely. It's all about practice and free time tongue

indeed, get a new girlfriend/use the other hand.

but never let a woman come between you and your guitar! my ex-gf (we lived together) used to go mad at me for playing at night when it was "bedtime" (this didn't imply sex, mind you). That drove me nuts. And it was certainly one of the billion factors that made me break up with her and move out.

I find that my guitar is much better company tongue

practice practice practice.

I began learning a couple of months ago and barre chords sounded AWFUL at the beginning. After hours and hours and hours of playing, they sound pretty good now, but they're still the chords that take longer to form. And I have a personal problem with Bm, I hate that f***ing chord, but I think we'll come to an agreement over time.

It's all practice, and the stronger your finger gets, the better.
