Play the chords the way that you feel is most comfortable. You’re playing after all. I’ll use different fingers for chord pattens all the time depending on what chords I will be transitioning too.

Buy the reissued version or buy a Digitech multi-effects pedal that has a pedal on the side. It will have the same type of effect as a preset on it. Theyre not expensive.
To each his own I guess, but I always felt that it’s alot harder to unlearn improper technique than to start off doing it right in the first place.
I still have loads of bad habits I’ll probably never get rid of for precisely that reason.
The easiest way to unlearn bad technique is to quit for a long-ass time then start over. Not really worth the trouble, though. :lol:
Anyone have some easy guitar tabs to play?
I’ve been practicing guitar and I still have a crap load to learn. I’ve been practicing about 2 months now and I’m getting pretty familiar with A,E,D,C, and G chords so I don’t know much yet, but I want to be able to play some really easy riffs, just for shits and giggles. Anybody have anything? Especially if it’s an easy riff from a video game, since my ULTIMATE goal is to be able to play all kinds of video game songs on my guitar. I’d love to be able to have a chick over at my crib one night and she’ll be like “You play guitar? Play me something!” And I’ll do something crazy like play her guile’s theme.
Anyway, help is appreciated!

That website has a lot of tabs. Some are reasonably accurate and some are awful, but it’s a good resource since tabs on the Internet are harder to come by these days. For easy, chordy songs, AC/DC is a good band to learn from.
The four star and five star tabs are usually perfect or close enough to fix yourself. Very often, three star tabs are just trash.
The guitar pro tabs are usually very very well done.
I know I’m double posting, but I just rigged a recording rig on my laptop. I’m running my guitar to a pod 2.0 through the pod’s headphone jack to the microphone jack on my laptop. Is there any way to get rid of the delay between the notes I play on my guitar and the time I hear them on my speaker while I record? It really messes me up when I need to keep time and my ears are about one second behind my guitar.
Go grab asio4all and only run the asio drivers when recording. adjust the settings for the minimal latency. On this laptop, I can get down to 192 samples, which gives me about 4 ms latency.
Thanks Warp. I’ll see what I can do.
edit: which version should I run?
The latest, I suppose.
Would it be a hassle for you to post a screenshot of your settings? The .pdf manual is corrupt so I can’t read it and I have a basic idea of what I’m doing, but any help would be nice. Thanks.
Are there any fellow bassists here on SRK? Also, do any of you play jazz?
Quite a few, myself included. I play whatever, though I’m absolutely awful at imrprovisation.
I played guitar in a high school jazz band for 3 years if that counts.
My band plays kind of proggy instrumental rock, so I try to inject some jazz influences into my improv. That doesn’t really count, but hey, take what you can get.
He looks exactly the same as he did in the 70s, minus the Han Solo getup.
I’m planning on buying some new pickups for my Guitar (stagg les paul) and was wondering how hard it is to change them out.
I know how to solder but have never done this before.
So does anyone know any sites that have good instruction or videos for it?

That should work for you. If not… I have nothing else.
Thats perfect, thanks.
