Oh, I buy American. But there are a few old sailors at work with girls that came from over there. They are mostly irritating and waiting for the old sailors to die.

Raydog, are mail order bride still considered mail order if you picked them out on the Internet?

Was going to replace the nut and saddle when I have the setup done. That is after I get my acoustic back. As far as the bridge, my bridge is pinned. Why would I glue a secured bridge? I'm not being a cunt. I am honestly asking.

I just bought a 5420t. I suck as a player. I'll just toss that out there right off. But I can comment on build to a degree. The factory strings wouldn't stay in tune at all. I replaced them with #10 flat wound D'Addarios. There was a plating problem with the chrome on my front pickup volume knob. Gretsch sent a new one quickly. But on the left side, where the head stock meets the neck, the binding was sanded through to bare wood then the polyurethane was applied and the guitar was finished and shipped out like that. I don't think anything would be done about that. Nobody will ever see it. But I do.

Nah, I'm pretty certain they trusted in that drunk dude also.

Because I'm not a shaggy high roller. Una es bueno, por ahora.

I thought about the orange. I like it a lot. But that green one gave me a chubby.

Funny, I thought it was missing pot smoke and coke whores. Maybe one of NMA's ex stripper wives.

Impulse purchases are fun. Went to the local guitar shop for lighter stings for my acoustic today. I purchased way over my skill level. They had a Aspen green Gretsch 5420t hanging on the wall. I wanted it. It had a huge scratch on the back. Tomorrow I pick up my new Aspen green Gretsch, a non display model without the scratch. Is this going to be Porn worthy?

You are correct. and the proper C out of that is a stretch. However, I can play that little cheater C all day and night back and forth from G. I was however wanting to get the normal C down. Its not just G that I cant move from to the C. Its all chords. But I did practice normal C and G back and forth for about 3 hours tonight. I have cut transition time in half that way. just doing it over and over again. Probably a dumb ass question. But is repetition usually the answer to everything with guitar technique, at least this early on in learning? Super awesome of you guys to take some time and answer this for me.

Beginner help needed again. Yes I suck. But have made huge strides in the last couple of weeks. I'm able to switch between A, D, E, A minor, E minor, & D minor relatively easy to the clip of about 60 changes a minute. Yes I miss my chord some times. But the more I practice, the better it gets. I've been getting in about 30 - 45 minutes a night on days I work. That's 3 or 4 nights a week. On days off I practice anywhere from 2 to 8 hours. Taking small breaks for the red hot needles in my left hand fingers to go out. My problem now is chord shapes and changes between C & G. I keep moving and putting down fingers one at a time. It causes a moment of pause when I do it. I know this isn't correct. I am trying to do "air chords". Making shapes above the strings before I put my fingers down. This is fucking impossible. Would playing a C over and over be better for this? For example: C strum, lift my fingers about a 1/2 inch off of the strings, then put them right back on C. Rinse and repeat until the fingers in my left hand cramp.

Definitely a score.

Definitely a score.

I know what they are. I'm just surprised that those are being sent out from CMP is all.

You got an Ithaca out of CMP?

He wants him to learn guitar. Not get raped in public.

Does this belong here? New night stand gun. Jericho 941 9mm with and without shark skin grips.

Really glad you posted, I used to lurk the guitar thread on the old site and particularly enjoyed your posts about music in general. I'll give that a go. I am happy to hear what you said about Townes as well. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't recognize time at all. Like things somehow sounded great all over the place. I don't know another way to say that. As far as what I have been doing, practicing changes between e, d, a, e minor, d minor, and full g while down strumming 4/4. Extremely basic stuff. When my fretting hand needs a break. I practice keeping 4/4 with my thumb on open strings E|A|E|D. After this becomes automatic, I add in E|A|E|D(G). I'm now trying to work toward getting this down E|A(B)|E|D(G).

Bunch of fucking homos. NTTAWWT.

Thank you sir, Most helpful. This was most helpful. I walked away from 1 hour of his site with more than i had gained in my free month of fender and the subsequent 2 paid months. One last thing and I will ditch this thread forever. The pron thread is well, full of guitar pron. Without reading all 107 pages of it, do they discuss technique in there? Yes I am that lazy.

I have barely tapped into the fender lessons. But they are terrible. It doesn't really talk about changes using pivots or anything. it just shows the chord then says practice changing with me.... blah blah. But tonight I'm going to look at the Justin Guitar ones.

If I can learn to switch from full g to c and back while keeping 4/4 time I will buy another. Until I get that basic concept down, I'm stuck with just a fender acoustic. But, I have my eyes on a Gretsch. It will be my reward for learning something new.

Too late. Bought an acoustic so I'm going to o be playing acoustic.

Mostly 50's - late 70's country and rockabilly. I'm not dead set in any specific songs right now. But my goal would be to be able to play things like "Don't take it too bad" Townes van Zandt. I'm not super concerned if I have to learn three blind mice and hot crossed buns to get there.
