I have recently purchased a guitar... Oh Yeah!!
It is so coool..
I cant realy play much eccept some openings of songs.
I have kind of regretted buying an acoustic though and think i may have been better off with an eletric instead.
I will have to wait til christmas i guess.

Does anyone know any easy songs to play on guitar or where i should start?
Its just that i dont want to be paying for a tutor...

thanks

Trust me.

Learn acoustic before you even pick up an electric. If you can get good on acoustic, you will be twice as good on electric. (IMHO)

What kind of guitar (brand) did you get?

[Stryyp]

I am rather fond of the piano

Been playing on and off for a while, been without a teacher for over a year now =S I just find some sheet music, go on Youtube to find videos of other people playing it (To make sure I am playing it right) and just go from there =P

Not to toot my own horn, but I am not half bad at it, either! I play for my church alot, and have even done some other events. One time I played at some big hospital Christmas event doohickey. They announced my name right after they announced the CEO xD

[Jackus]

er... its some brand called "chantry".
I picked it up for £40 at a local shop.
About 3 of my friends who also play guitar have seen it and prefer it to their own guitars.

Drums.

Been playing for 3 or 4 years. I play daily... I try to practice atleast 45 mins a day when I can.

[Jackus]

i have a nephew who plays the drums, i hate to say it but he is pretty good at it lol.
i thought it would be pretty easy to play but it actualy looks quite knackering lol

Pia pia pianoo, piano, piano.

I want to play drums though. If only I had enough space at home for a kit.

[Hazard]

Drums, piano, recorder and abit of the guitar

[Akira]

Didgeridoo (I'm rubbish at it), piano, cello, guitar (also rubbish at this), and ocarina (it sucks, don't try it, and you feel really gay whenever you play it, cause it's like a tiny recorder)

[foogie]

when I was younger, I played piano.... then all throughout highschool I played trumpet.

currently I just play my sanshin which I bought in Japan.

That sounds like the name of one of the crazy sounds I search for when messing around on the computers in Music Technology

[Black Flame]

I played the trumpet for about a year, then gave up on it. Now I play nothing.

I also play bass clarinet, clarinet, alto saprano tenor and bari sax, baritone, trumpet.... Tho my brass playing is not to good atm.

haha, yeah. it's closer to a banjo than it is to a guitar.

A crappy banjo.

Learning on acoustic is handy! Stick to it.

[Niche]

I am sort of learning to play piano...'sort of' meaning without a teacher and learning by ear and youtube video's ...but surprisingly I am not that bad XD

[Jackus]
