I actually enjoy a good White Russian, and I almost never drink. The Dude was definitely on to something.

Maaaag!

Today was a totally everyday sort of day...


... And as the day was almost over, my parents dropped by with a surprise gift.



So now it's just a matter of learning to tune it... Then learning to play it. My ultimate goal is to learn to play this song, as it's one of my favorite acoustic songs ever.

First off, Happy Birthday, sir! Secondly, I'd suggest you start small. Learn to tune it by ear first (fifth fret on every string except the second to last), then learn your basic chords. You can't play Dragonforce off the bat, so get your basics down, first. Chords and scales, sir. Then you'll see the songs come together. But congrats on the guitar, sir!

Thanks!

I didn't really want to mention on here that it was my birthday, because I don't really want any extra attention or anything. But I had to share the whole guitar thing since it was a huge surprise to me.

I was on YouTube using a few videos to figure out how tuning it works, but I'm getting tired so I may just have to wait until tomorrow.

Tuning by ear is what I'm trying to learn. A couple of the videos I looked at showed it being done different ways, so I guess I'll just have to figure out which one works best for me. If you know of a good one for me to use, let me know! You beat me to it!

And thanks. :D I know it'll take a while to learn everything, including things like posture and whatnot. But at least I also know a few people around here who can help me move things along, too.

Stick with it, and what Mag said. Don't expect to be even remotely good any time soon lol

Don't mess with the tuning, IMO, I broke many strings when I first started playing

Edit - Also, if you don't get blisters/cuts on your fingers, you're doing it wrong

Oh, there are a number of guitar nuts on this site, Spence and myself being a few. We'll point you in the right direction. You should still get an electric tuner to get your E string down, but once you learn the trick with the fifth fret thing, you'll be golden, especially if you need to adjust it quickly onstage or something.

***' A right, to all of that. Your fingertips need callouses; this is just a fact.

My fingers are already calloused, so I'm doing something right before I even get started!

I never even knew about it until my girlfriend (who tends to date musicians) said something to me about "having fingers like a guitarist"... I was so confused.

Windowed/borderless windowed mode, click off on something else like your start menu and print screen maybe? lol
That's how I do it at least. ;x
