guitar

Yes get a teacher for sure

If you are serious about guitar and you actually want to be able to do more than just play songs, get a teacher.

ok well i was thinking about it and i am going to look at my guitar shops( they are normally teachers) and see how much it costs. then im going to save up and get a gig bag and about 24 picks

I would say get a teacher, IMO a private teacher, that works for themselves teaches a little better than teachers that work at a store, or a music facility etc..

Yes private teachers are much better. With a private teacher, you get more attention than you would with an um..........non private teacher. (lol, I can't think of the word)

well thats what the guy im going to does ( i think) and i know about private teachers, they are way better than normal teachers i had one for a few weeks this year for trombone

Looks nice.
the crank isn't exactly essential (i only use mine for my acoustics) but it's a nice tool.

yeah the guy at guitar center said i should get one and put it in my bag but im trying to convince my parents that for christmas they should get me another, better, guitar

I think you should get a better amp, because no offense, but the ones you have suck.

You don't need a better guitar until you can actually play. I'm sure you haven't outgrown your guitar already. Get an amp, nothing fancy, something like this.

I have this amp, only its the 75 watt version and it has more features

Also, get headphones and a plug adapter for the headphones. (You will want them so you don't drive your parents crazy)

first things first i heard that the amp you posted stealth sucks and my parents said for my birthday they would get me a better amp, but i noticed yesterday that the "amp jack" on my guitar is really wobbly is this normal?

oh heres the amp http://www.guitarcenter.com/Roland-Cube-20X-Guitar-Combo-Amplifier-487031-i1169243.gc

The amp I posted doesn't suck...........

I have the 75 watt version and its great.............

Line 6 makes great quality amps...........

ive heard otherwise

Yeah, Line 6 is a great amp company. Who told you they sucked?

Line 6 is great IMO. Take a look at Peavey at guitar center. I have the Classic 30 and it works like magic

just look at about any thread on ultimate guitar but since my parents are paying for the cube i might buy the line 6

Oh! its main street! BTW learn easy picking songs, such as hey there deliliah, or a easy song like stairway to heaven

stairway to heaven isn't an easy song..............

Smoke on the Water is an easy song lol

i can almost play all of smoke on the water, thats the sad part

Hey everyone has got to start somewhere

I couldn't play batman for a little while lol

You just have to practice.

you know what sucks i just changed my strings and i was tuning them when the A string just explodes, right in my face. then i had to run to a guitar shop buy the cheapest strings they had (i only had $3) and run home and i just started putting them on again

Just get into mountian biking. It is more fun and I could actully help you if you broke something.

hmmm moutain biking, i dont got any mountains (even though this was directed to cqber)

there are mountains but it takes a while to get to them so im going to stick with guitar

How can you say mountian biking is more fun? Unless you can play guitar well, you can't say it's more fun. lol They are to TOTALLY different hobbies. Mountain biking gives you adrenaline, but music gives you a satisfaction of knowing you can't do something most people can't. I can't express enough how rewarding it is when you figure out a song by ear, or you write a song.

I knew someone was going to say that and I agree. I think biking is more fun, and it is for me, but if you can play an insument that can be fun too. Basically, I am just jealous that I am musicly disabled.

lol

I didn't mean to come off harsh. I'm sorry if that's how I sounded. The truth is, everyone can play guitar as long as you work really hard. Some people are naturally talented, but several great guitarists were actually not talented at all. They just worked EXTREMELY hard.
