So i just got myself this brand new guitar right.. It's an ibanez pre school baby whatever! i dont care i write lyrics so i wanted to put it in songs and my friend was telling me learn the guitar and i might be able to do such a thing... So the problem is .. Got the guitar.. Got my amp.. Got my picks ready.. Put them all to the guitar.. AND WHALA! .. didnt know how to play..
My question is, is there some way i could learn on line free of charge or anyone that would be able to teach me over msn or something or know any good sites plz post.. This is a serious thread btw... I need to learn within the next 3 months.. and learn fast.. Cause i wrote this song that i need to get done by December unfortunately.. For a school talent show.. And if i cant sing (croak) the words.. and play my guitar then i'm in pooop (di dii diii)
THanks for the help in advance i know alluh havin d hook ups

There is a program called Guitar Tab pro I think or something of that nature.

You can download the tabs, i.e. the notes of songs, from different websites and it plays it for you, showing you what to do.

I'll try getting the exact name.

from my experience, its really really really hard to sing and play at the same time.. it takes alot of practice, both singing and playing... for now, get used to singing th song. as long as ur comfortable with that, playing becomes second nature.

on the other hand, it works better the opposite way for some ppl. so try playing and singing somethin simple, and see wat works best for you....

as for learning tabs and stuff... i personally use http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/ . they have a great user base and alot of free tutorials and Tabs of almost any song u can think of... so give it a try.

an good luck man.

wrong!

man, learn chords....chords chords chords... there are many websites that show you the chords and hand postions etc...then when ur inging, just accompany your song with the chords on the guitar...not too fancy, but it works!

afer you get the confidence that way pick around and get a sound that suits you, then exploit the hell out of it


if somehow you making it etc and you want someone to write up ur contracts for you etc please feel free to utilise my skills...with a lil consideration of course :)

d only reason i gave d advice of using d tabs an so on, is dat learnin all d chords is alot, and it takes really long.
besides... dat site has all the chords and tutorials u could possibly need...

d way i looked at the situation is dat he needed a fast track to gettin dat one song down... but is up to u to experiment... it works different 4 every one
