A good morning to you too, Nya! Anyone doing anything fun this weekend besides me? :)

Depends how fun whatever you get to do is :P

 

Surfing in teh mornings, lazing about in the afternoons and playing football at night. Might go to the movies tomorrow...

And going to s new friends to jam some... AAAHHH my prayers have been answered, I've been having guitar withdrawals! XD

Ahhh, a fellow guitarist eh? Very cool.

Haha *highfives* Heh kinda, I'm not that good. I have an acoustic at home, and only know some campfirey-playing stuffs cos I've only taught myself, but wanna learn electric one day :) Its so much fun

You're actually doing it the right way. Once you're comfortable on an acoustic, the electric will be easy! It's what most people do to build your finger strength and all, the acoustic is more difficult. The only difference with electric is learning about the electronics of the guitar and your amp/effects. You'll do great :)

Yay that's what I thought.. Some chords are so hard for my clumsy uncoordinatedness, i need soo loong to learn em :P

Well the open formation chords are usually the hardest, because they tend to sound best: you're making use of all 6 strings in most cases. Barre chords are a LOT easier to remember, but harder to do on an acoustic guitar. (Very easy on electric) and then there's power chords, mostly for rock/punk musics, very easy on either guitar, but you are only making use of like, 3 strings. Guitar, like everything, is a balance of what you wanna play, what you wanna sound like and what your skill level is. i'm sure you'll do great if you have the passion for learning all that stuff!

:)

 

Tabs come in real handy.

 

I had problems with barre chords at first, holding down all string with one finger took a bit of strength :P

 

Mainly practice though right, stretching my fingers to spam across all that length lol

I know what you mean. I've always had smaller hands for a guy, smaller than almost any other guitar player I've met, but after 17 years of practicing and playing, I can still reach about 6 frets index to pinky for tough chords. (you almost never need to do that anyway) You'll definitely get there!
