I didnt cut my finger, but just about broke the middle and ring finger of left hand 1 week before getting my guitar, could barely bend them but was so excited to play that I just gritted my teeth and kept on playing. It's been 5 months and there is still some pain, but at lease the calluses are there on the ends.
I like the superglue idea, have used it many times for splits in my fingers during the winter and hangnails.
That happed to me once. . .
DragonForce, "Through the Fire and Flames" is one of the fastest solos I can think of.

bought 1st guitar 4 months ago, second one (electric) 2 months later, 38 yrs old. Living in Richfield, Utah, 8 yrs now. Self teaching, but luckily I can read music, mainly due to some piano lessons when young.
Great forum, Great Administrators, Great people!

I tried it and like it. Much less fatigue. Thanks!
I have been playing 4 months now, just last night I was able to hit barred F with some consistancy. I have been intensionally learning songs with F and B in them to 'force' myself to get comfortable with barring. I also like to change the key of a simple song I already know with chords G, A and D, (easily done on Chordie) and practice playing it in F, G and C, complicating a simple song (for me) I already know and play well, just adds more of a challenge to an otherwise easy song.
oops, thought I was on acoustic forum, so let me change my answer, "Back in Black."
I learned "The Boxer" Simon and Garfunkle, only able to strum it then, now I can finger pick it.
39 year old newby, got my first guitar in Nov '07, Yamaha FG700. I wanted to explore electric playing and didnt want to invest too much money so I bought a Strat Pack, Squier HSS. Maybe I will upgrade pickups, amps, but for now it suits my purpose. I play both daily. The setup on the Yamaha out of the box needed nothing but tuning, but the setup for the Squier took much more time, loose or crooked screws on pickguard and bridge and then the standard setup on the bridge needed to be done. I know it wont ever sound the best, but for now just getting better on my part is most important. When I do upgrade, I am sure both guitars will stay with me.

For the fun. I love the way my fingers ache after playing for hours. Keeps me from spending too much time in front of TV. And I enjoy 'performing' for my family. It's a way to relax.
Good info. Thanks--
Now if you can give me something that communictates that info from my brain to my fingers I'll be set! I know, I know. . .practice, practice, practice, and then after that, more practice!
Newbee here.
I just picked up a Squier HSS. I am glad to see from prev posts that it is easily upgradable as that may be an option in the future for me. Only been playing since Nov '07, started on acoustic. 38yrs old.
Set up out of box seams to be half---'d, but found good instructions on the net about doing it myself. Seems to play well for me, but my ear isn't as tuned to quality like the experts on this site.

A US wife taking the husbands last name is by no means a law, just customary for the culture. I know of a few women that have not used this custom and retained their maiden name. As far as cost, I don't recall how much it cost when I got married 17 yrs ago, not outrageous though. My wife had her name legally changed and took my last name. Similar to your example of Hillary Rodham Clinton, my wife retained her maiden name and added my last name to create a first, middle, and last name. So her legal name change just added another name. I hope my daughter continues this custom. We only gave her a first and last name, not a middle so when she gets married, her last name will become her middle and her husbands last name will become her last name.
As for the celebrities, I am with the understanding that the name changes were done mainly for promotional types of reasons, i.e., "selling" the celebrity name, something that rolls of the tounge, memorable. I'm not sure if I am expressing this correctly, hopefully my point is understandable. It's like advertizing a new car or something, in my opinion.
Also you wondered why names don't get changed back after a divorce. It's a little more complicated--the longer the marriage was. Changing the name requires new driver's lic, social security card, identification, and then all of the other accounts one may have aquired over the years, etc, etc. Now I realize that some people get married older, have shorter marriages, I'm just saying that sometimes it's just not worth the hassle, but there are plenty who have changed their name back.
I hope I have been helpful. BTW, new to the forum, as you can see. Great place.

I agree. I got my first acoustic Nov '07 as a birthday gift. I have been playing every day since and I have successfully gotten past "my fingers are killing me!" I do have to admit that I have trouble picking small items up (coins or picks) with my left hand, my fingertips have lost some sensitivity with the extra skin thickness!
