- August 5th, 2008 (3 minutes, 20 seconds)Giardja asks, "I am a beginner guitarist that happens to own three guitars. One is a classical guitar; the other two are steel string guitars with different neck shapes, neck widths and scale lengths. (One of the steel string guitars has a “D”” shape neck with a 1.8” wide nut width and the other has a “V” shaped neck with a more traditional 1.7” wide nut width). Can you comment on the advantages or disadvantages of practicing and learning with different guitars? Will this hinder or help my progress?"

Its almost like I cant even hear the strings I hear that I pluck with my fingers now. How do you solve that?" View ResponseQuick Question - March 10th, 2008 (3 minutes, 24 seconds)Jimmycrowder asks, "Quick question... Do I need to learn to read Notation as a guitarist? I am new to guitar and I am praticing to play in a praise and worship band at church. They play mostly pop and rock songs. They just use a sheet of paper with the chords on top of the verses... Also, could you please recommend a good practice routine? I can play about 1 hour a day " View ResponseLynard Skynard Sweet Home Alabama - August 2nd, 2007 (0 minutes, 47 seconds)Clinsteadt asks, "Is there any where on the website where I can learn a whole song and not just bits and pieces of one. Plus I wanted to ask if you guys could start putting more current songs on the phase three part of the site. Most of the songs on there I haven't heard of before and it would be nice to learn some more current songs." View ResponseProper Posture - November 9th, 2007 (3 minutes, 70 seconds)Wasp asks: "i asked this also in the forum. just starting out (never even touched a guitar before). i bought an electric (jackson dk2m). was wondering how i should be learning as far as sitting posture. chair? stool? also i should be using a strap always? how to adjust strap placement for learning? should guitar rest on my knee or hang just above it? i know these are stupid questions but want to get started the right and most comfortable way. ps: i read somewhere to adjust strap to where its in the same position sitting or standing? my prob is the only way i can do that is if it is way up there it seems like. (thats what i mean by sitting position, get a tall stool where my legs are kinda hangin down or a chair where legs are parallel to ground? lol srry for the long post but i really nit pick things alot and just want to get stated right. ty and i think this site is awesome and look forward to learning."
