And be patient, it will take some time in making the finger muscles of pinky to match others. Appart from Master of Puppets, try layla(acoustic), Hotel california, why georgia, STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN(try this definitely, a good exercise for fingers)...
Yeah, these companies offer lucrative prices and later bring down the expectations. I wanted to reach higher frets only to play solos like Stairway to Heaven ending solo and Smoke on the Water solo. Better look at other affordable but original companies like Jimm, Granada and all.
I searched many articles about singing while playing. All i found was that i have to make my hands control the guitar subconciously so that i can concentrate on singing. Beginning from basic songs which follow the same notes, u can practice slowly and slowly. At one place i even read that this process becomes faster if u write your own lyrics and make a tune for it and sing out loud.
About the guitar, electric, for lefty nothing in this world is better then this http://www.bajaao.com/ibanez-2007-gr...ar-p-4276.html
It offers a Floyd Rose tremelo and can play all the genre, plus it is an Ibanez, which most of the big names use like Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Paul Gilbert...After bargain it will be possible for some 12000-13000 and wen combined with Marshall MG10CD or MG15CD it will become invincible.
So keep guitaring and keep in touch |
wah man,you made my day.And I thought I was the only one who sucks that much,been like 4 weeks and I still can't play all major chords specially A and the ones using pinky.Though I dint practise for like 2 weeks cus I was buasy and very-very frustrated.
I bought a GB&A for about 4.5k(it was the second to the cheapest GB&A model),its a cutaway and it sounds amazing.Some friends had suggested that hobners and GB&A guitars are best for beginners.
Initial aim-->Should be able to play intro of 'stairway to heaven' in about 8 months,
.
So now,the practise schedule is:try tuning the guitar(still cant get it)--->Practising Major chords individually everyday---->tried barr chords but decided they are still very far away,
---->tried playing two chords one after another(like A-D-A-D...) but decided it can't be done yet.SO I am stunk on tuning and chords for now and its kind of frustrating tbh.
I did try the classes too:the teacher tought me how to play saregama,I cudn't go beyond sa-re,paid him his one day fess(150 rupees for an hour) and never went back.Waste of time and money.I am following
