I've been using Pandora since about 2007. Last month I reached my 40 hour limit on Pandora xD. Great site, although it's getting to be ridiculous with all the ads..

Topic: Guitar Suggestions?? (13 replies, posted in Electric)
My friend Cam is looking to buy an electric. He doesn't know how to play but he wants to learn. He is looking for a nice electric within the $200 range. He asked me for help, so now I'm asking you guys. I'd like to find something for him that isn't cheaply made, but doesn't cost too much. Something that won't turn him away from playing. Any suggestions?? Anything would be a help

Re: Good electric guitar? (13 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
I have a Westone Spectrum ST from '86. I love it, and all my friends that have played it love it, too!
I'm not sure where you could get one though.
I have seen then online for around $200-300, but buying online is not the best idea,,I learned that the hard way 
Anyways I wish you the best of luck on your guitar search!

Re: Best Band No one's ever heard of (43 replies, posted in Bands and artists)
Well I was flippin through the channels and for some reason I stopped on the spanish channel which was airing music videos. They showed quite a few videos of this band "Heroes Del Silencio". I had never heard of them and, despite the fact I couldn't understand the lyrics, I thought they were pretty good! I'm not sure that no one's heard of them though, they might be popular in other countries and among Spanish-speaking people.

I have never loved music as much as I do the music on this record. I can listen to it constantly and never get sick of it.

Topic: Highschool (9 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Just starting high school and freshman orientation day was today...the school looks like a maze that Ronald McDonald walked through and waved his magic french fry and painted the walls. It's all purple and pink and yellow and red and blue...and very confusing. So anyways, they gave us our schedules, and mine is completely messed up.
I was supposed to be taking drawing 2 second semester, but i guess they decided to sign me up for web-page design..and then instead of "intro to fitness" (which I just want to get over with) they scheduled me for computer application, and that's not something I like..at all.
And I can't just call the school and tell them about it. I have to go to the office ans schedule an appointment with guidance to talk about, and then hope they fix things. And doing this will change my whole schedule.
Besides all this, I can't even open my locker because it's the confusing dial kind.
Has anyone else had these kind of experiences>?
I feel so stressed out right now by all this, everything is so confusing and complicated.

Another thing I tend to do is change the song up in places I can't play, but I feel like I'm cheating in a way when I do that. Like I'm preventing myself from learning something new.

It's really too bad you live so far away.

Has anyone ever heard you play? Do you have a friend who also plays or who can sing or play some other instrument?
The post above is right. You will get bored with songs if you don't have a goal or reason for learning them.
Ask yourself the question "why am I actually learning/playing this song?". Honestly. Why? Is it just to amuse yourself? Is it just because it's fun messing about on the guitar?
If you have a problem sticking with a song, the best way to get motivated is to set yourself the task of singing it for someone. Anyone. Anywhere. It doesn't matter.
You can do this by collaborating with some other musician(s) or by singing for a friend or family - or in public.
I must admit that I have always considered music a social thing that is best enjoyed with like minded people. They will act as a catalyst and get you motivated. Unless you are strong willed and/or self motivated, making music on your own can be unproductive
Good luck.
That's why I wanted a band, so I would have a real reason to play something and practice more. I'm going into the high school this September so I'm hoping I'll meet some people interested in starting a one.

Topic: I feel like I'm not practicing songs enough. (13 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Every time I learn a song it's like I'm only learning the skeleton of it, if you will. I never fully learn the details and then I get bored with it and move on to another song. What should I do? How can I keep myself on one song and actually play it without leaving stuff out?
Any tips or advise?

Hey I once wrote a post on how the jonas brothers suck, but then topdown closed the thread. It didn't take me long to see how it was unnecessary to write the negative post. I was actually glad that topdown closed it.
Yeah, I don't like them either, but we don't need to go about ranting about how horrible they are. What's the point, anyways?
