Welcome to Gaia! ::

I play. I just went through a huge blues/funk/rock phase, and I just found out that I can play ska pretty well. I'm trying to learn some classical as well.

I taught myself. The best way to learn is to find some simple technique and sheet music books (and maybe some tabs as well), talk to other players, and train your ears. You can learn a lot by listening to music. Granted, teaching yourself is a challenge. There are many setbacks (I'm not up to par with some other players, in terms of technique and knowledge of theory.) The most important thing is practice.

Well, anything that's ska/punk would be greatly appreciated. I can sorta kinda pretty well palm mute, but I still think I should know more.

Right now, all I really know is power chords, palm muting, and just some simple little riffs and stuff.

Metal'd be nice too. ^^;

I play guitar too. My friend tried to teach me when I was first learning, but he wasn't all that good of a teacher. After that, I tried learning myself and it worked out a lot better.

Ok how do you position your hand to play?(on the bridge,open,or other.)Ummm ok pinched harmonics are b***h to tell people about on the internet i'll try to explain as best as I can. Ok get the pick position it where your thumb is a little of the edge to where your thumb hits the string first.(it's easier to practice the middle string area) When you pluck it bend the string you should hear a very high pitched squeal.(Guitar players who use this = Kirk Hammet,Dave Mustaine, and "Dimebag" Darrel Abbot listen to "Cemetary Gates you'll hear it) Just to tell you it's alot easier to hear on distortion.

Pinched harmonics? Or just harmonics?

Tabs aren't that hard to read o.o

Oh, another thing I wanna learn to play is like...Funk guitar. o.o
