Question Posted Monday July 17 2006, 12:29 pm


a guy friend of mine is teaching me how to play an acoustic guitar.

i dont want to look like a total idiot.
so can anyone tell me, what the strings are named [the letters].
& any thing else about the guitar itself.

Wow it's impressive that you want to brush up on these things. Most girls would play stupid because they think it's more attractive but in reality, guys like smart girls better. So yeah, good idea I guess. The bottom string is a low E, the next one up fromt that is a B, the next one up from that is a G, the next one up from that is a D, the next one up from that s a D and the top one is a high E. Good luck!!

ok; well the strings are named
[starting from the top]
E [--thickest]
A
D
G
B
e [--thinest]
i always remember it like this; "Every Awesome Dude Grows Big Ears"
lol.

&& something extra;
on a guitar there are frets. frets are inbetween the big bump things. every other fret is [usualy] marked by a dot.
kinda seems confusing, but its actually pretty easy.

i hope you enjoy the guitar!! [[i LOVE it!]]

if you have any other questions about the guitar, just ask!

i am learning too!
from the top the strings are
E lephants
A nd
D ogs
G row
B ig
E ars

thats a peom to learn them. Also, instead of reading off of note sheets which are hard to read if you don't already play an instrument, you can read tabulation charts. They are just an easier way to read off how to play guitar.
the BEST site to use for tab charts is

www.mxtabs.net

also other things tips are
*always press HARD on the strigns (YES IT HURTS!!!! VERY MUCH but youll get used to it)

*hold the strings IN THE MIDDLE and make sure your not touching any otehr string with any otehr fingers.

* cut your nails before you practice, they can get in the way and its harder to learn

* paint your nails so tehy look cute =]

learn all of your chords at first because those are very important, you can find them on the tab site too so dont sweat it

oh and some easy sogns to learn at first are..
(METALICA songs are real easy do those first)
-wake me up when september ends by green day
-hey there delilah by plain white t's
-midnight highway by daphne loves derby
-enter sandman by metallica
-come as you are by nirvana (really cool, easy and fun beggining)
-one by metallica
-dance dance by fallout boy
also, master of puppets by metallica is really cool to play, but its super hard! but soudns awesome you can work on that too if you want

Practice, Practice, Practice often && HAVE FUN
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD LUCK! =]
