Not bad for day 1 I guess. I have no idea what song that is.

Lesson #1 sould be "Tuning your instrument."

Here you go.

That's...um... something :^D

Sounds like you're having fun, and that's all that matters in the end :^)

 

[Billyzeke]

That's a song?


I can do no better, so carry on OP!

 

[CraKaJaX]

Sounds like the rhythm for Creep? But yea, way out of tune. Stick with it!

Yeah it was Creep

At least it's recognizable.

I suppose I need to tune it.

The low string (thickest) is messed up though and rattles. Need to get an allen wrench I think and rasie it a bit to be inline with the others.

You know you tune a guitar by listening, not by feel, right? Electronic tuners are cheap. It wouldn't hurt for you to get one.

Btw, the Squire Strat is a great guitar for the price. I got my daughter one a couple of years ago for xmas, and I couldn't believe the quality. A guitar and amp for $130... Back when I was playing, you couldn't get anything that playable for less than $300, and you still had to buy the amp afterwards.

mos.def.

People actually stay in the room now when I start playing. Granted, they cover their ears, but that's besides the point.

Here's day 2

need to speed it up and learn the B chord (that shits hard)


Can anyone tell what it is ?
