BWAAAHHH what a cutie - Isabelle your husband is an idiot if it makes you feel any better .... at least mine has enough sense to appreciate the woman who rescued him from dissolute bachelorhood lol (sorry guys - girl talk !!! )
....yeah I'm still here! Just a bit stretched for time (like most of us I'm sure) and also sorry to say, as stubbornly acoustic as ever.... I do have an electric piano, a Rhodes 73 and hence the allure of the acoustic guitar. Doesn't require 120 V or big guy and a small truck to lug it around :twisted:
Yashimicat has an awesome Takemine electric acoustic BTW but I went for something less expensive and a bit - sturdier? :roll: I still have this vision of sitting outside under the starry skies like Dylan - once things warm up again around here of course!
Brain Damage is a good beginner song unless you have short fingers like me - then doing an acceptable transition to G7 takes a while...
One song I keep meaning to record is Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen: simple chords, can be strummed or picked out, sounds good even played s-l-o-w-l-y and big with the Shrek crowd too.
I bought my camera a couple of months ago, a slightly older Canon Powershot, nice lens with zoom and it does video too! plus Win XP and such can read it automatically. The problem with webcams is you are generally tied to your computer but as someone else mentioned most digital cameras now do video as well.
What if the Hokey Pokey IS what it's really all about?

Actually, one typically uses the "cheater's G7" (only the first fret of the high E (first) string) on Brain Damage, because you then don't have to change the picking pattern at all. The pattern during the "verse" sections (the parts with "the lunatic" in it) only uses the first four strings. You play the E chord by sliding your D chord up two frets and using the open D string as your bass note.
Anyway, carry on...
Peace
I used to have a rhoads 73...very heavy. I didn't move it much :D Great sound though 8)
Well done everyone, its great to see the improvements - just working my way thru the pages i missed in the last while, well done ken, 2 months playing and you already can strum and arpeggio - and play a song that sounds recognizable! (by the way, that kid playing sth was incredible! I'm hearing a lot of Led Zep on the radio at the mo after their concert last night, would love to learn to play this song, so I'll check out the link you gave and see how it goes!)Clau, are you doing Metallica for your school concert soon? Would love to see you play nothing else matters!
Keep it up everyone, one of these days I'll pick up my guitar again..! Oh, have you'se decided to practise the one song and post it? Interesting.. would be good to hear different interpretations, but it could get very competitive :roll: maybe it would spur some of us on to try harder.. or put us off..! :wink:
Hi Jenny
Finally, I think I'm not going to do the show, but I'll post a video of me playing Nothing else matters soon, when school will be over for Christmas.
I still have to learn a little part but the intro, the verses riffs, the chorus riff and the solo are done! :D
" First time I heard the music
I thought it was my own
I could feel it in my heartbeat
I could feel it in my bones
... Blame it on the love of Rock'n'Roll! "
Found one for you too, Izzy
LOL thanks ;)
Hi fellow beginners....(and experience guitarists that just like to pose as beginners so they can hang out with all us cool dudes) :wink:
I've posted a new vid on the main index of here here for all to see, but I would like to say in this thread that I'm really enjoying my stay in the beginners video vault, and to all my new friends (if I may call you that) I take my shades off in a big salute and say - most excellent!!!
We need to keep up the momentum and get new recruits to start posting videos - more the merrier. Maybe in the New Year when everyone has worked out how to use their new video cameras.... I've given up asking for a new camera and my wish list now includes an extra strong barre chord finger... What do you reckon the chances of that are? :roll:
I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a crisp clear fingerpickin' and strummin' New Year....
See you all there....
ROCK ON!!!!!
D 8)
I'm nowhere near Chicago. I've got six string, 8 fingers, two thumbs, it's dark 'cos I'm wearing sunglasses - Hit it!
:)
Merry Christmas Dylan
Well done, Dylan
That put a smile on my face! (I'm still giggling - sorry)
Merry Christmas, Dylan.
Merry Christmas, fellow beginner GuitarNoiseMakers.
Merry Christmas to all and to all
Rock On!
It's the rock that gives the stream its music . . . and the stream that gives the rock its roll.
Well done Dylan :D
very nice!
Well done Santa 8) You got the basic bum note rule down. An old Hendrix trick...if you hit a wrong note just bend it till it sounds like something :lol: Works for me :D GREAT JOB!!!!!
Nice Dylan!
School is finally OVER for 3 weeks, so I hope to be able to post some video during holidays, but no Christmas song, cause I don't know any and I don't really like Christmas song :oops:
But yours was cool anyway Dylan :wink:

Right Claudine. Funny, the other day I was trying to convince someone Fairytale of New York was a cool Christmas song (go on, check it out on Youtube, you might even like it).
:)
This is a little progression in the key of E that I started playing around with and developing. I'm new at this. I've been only playing for a couple of years. So keep that in mind.
It's amazing how the fingers go all noodley and disfunctional when the camera is on. LOL.
