Singer: Gnarls Barclay

Title: Crazy

 

I can play "F" chords with 4 fingers sure, but when it comes to strumming, I have to avoid the very first string

Learnt the chords already but don't know which 1st song to begin stumming? Here's one:

 

Chantal Kreviazuk: Leaving on a Jet Plane (Armageddon sountrack)

Notes:

• Originally sung by John Denver
  
• Great for first-timers who want to pick up guitar strumming and chord learning
  
• Might sound different than the original because chord used below is offset by a few notes to make it simple for beginners to pick up guitar strumming.
  
• Usage of 3 simple chords: G, C, and D. See below:

Place your fingers where the solid dots are.

The "X" means don't touch that string during the strumming process

Don't bother about what the hollow "O" means. Continue strumming

Anyone here has a lobang for a used 7-stringer? Prefer the Ibanez RG7 series with the Lo-pro edge bridge.

 

Edit: The model I think is the RG-7620

Too much hobby and need to clear some stuff. All for 400 bucks nego. Total price 3 years ago will be about 1.5K. Do PM me to clarify any doubts. Thanks. Can teach chords for those who really interested. hAHAHAH

Some easy tune to tryout on your guitar, the godfather.

 

 

[slutgarden]

anybody knows how to sweep.? . i've been trying on off about sweeping.

 

have been using the 15-17-12-14 type of scales.

 

how do you smoothen yer fingers going up and down the frets even after warming up?.

 

i warm up by the 1-2-3-4 up and down from top till bottom for about 2-3 reps.
