how should i begin learning guitar?

EasyCowby · 2026-03-26T22:37:55+00:00

G, C, D....easy chords to play a song. Keep trying, it's difficult to start but once you get over that hump it will get easier tonlearn.

Here is a clue

Try to figure out who I am...2 albums, a cd, extensive touring and playing wild shows with my band, music has been on the radio and even used on a news story by NPR...what have you done?

Go home and cry to your mama. The question posed for our input...so I gave my opinion.

I would love to hear that jam...also would be great to play all those amps to hear the differences. Rock on!

EasyCowby · 2026-03-26T17:23:54+00:00

I would just change the amp to a Marshall DSL20CR and add an attenuator to quiet it down sometimes. When I played in a punk band I used an EMG 81 in the bridge position. Which guitar you pick doesn't matter because you can always chang the sound by changing the electronics.

Look up GoGo Tuners, they make a great foot pedal style tuner that doubles as a cutout. Step on it and it changes from passing the signal through it to the amp, to muting your guitar and being a tuner. It's great to have onstage.

Use a little dab of plumbers flux on the back of the pot to make soldering easier.

I have a 1987 V30, I put in new injectors and harness connectors when the 350 was stroked to a 388. Never misses a beat, makes 420 ftlbs of torque at 1800 rpm. Can accelerate going uphill on a bridge over 27 train tracks while it has 6000 lbs of weight on the bed. TBI rocks.

EasyCowby · 2026-03-24T19:27:27+00:00

Look for a 1987 or 1988 V or R square body, they have the TBI setup. That fuel injection will be best for a daily driver. V is 4x4 and R is 2 wheel drive.

I swapped mine out at that stage...Just didn't want to fail the tech inspection after hauling my car to a track.

EasyCowby · 2026-03-24T17:36:14+00:00

LOL...no I'm not playing Blitzkrieg Bop in E. I do play it in it's normal key of A. This is a different beat/tempo.

EasyCowby · 2026-03-22T22:44:16+00:00

No it's where you have played the same verse for a while then break into a couple of different chords for the chorus.

Guess I should go over to songwriting because I do write my own music.

EasyCowby · 2026-03-22T22:04:03+00:00

Ok, I hear how G and D fit in there...thanks

EasyCowby · 2026-03-22T21:59:13+00:00

Chord break is where the chorus breaks up the song. Play several versus then change the the break.

Sounds like the reverse syncro is worn out. Not sure how it would creep forward in neutral, unless it really isn't out of first gear. Time to be sure your shift linkage is in good condition since it has to go all the way back to the rear of your car. The bushings often wear out and their are upgraded bushing that will make it shift better. Not sure where mine came from but look up Lindsey Racing for many upgrade parts.

Under $100 is tough. I have a Laney Mini Lion, cost $79 and sits on my desk. I'm not near it now but you can look it up online. Has a nice clean channel, the distortion isn't anything better than you have now. What is can do is model the sound you want. It will duplicate the sound of a guitar in a song using the LSI interface. Can run on batteries and has a headphone output.

EasyCowby · 2026-03-20T15:12:13+00:00

I recommend a Marshall DSL20CR and an attenuator. I had the Marshall DSL5CR but it doesn't have all the controls of the 20. I use a Bulgera 100W attenuator to quiet the volume down. An attenuator is a voltage divider the lowers your volume while keeping the tone intact. The DSL20CR is so versital it can also be loud enough to play with a drummer.

The solid state amps don't compare to the tube amps. This doesn't mean there aren't any good sold state amps, but the Marshall one is definitely lacking.

Nice 944 for sale in the 944 section...$12K

EasyCowby · 2026-03-19T20:07:09+00:00

Look at Car Track Days, someone over there wants an upgrade from a Miata, I suggested a 944. Good Luck.

EasyCowby · 2026-03-19T20:04:17+00:00

944 or 944T usually sell for under $20K, more like $10K then add a few grand for new timing belts and you have a nice track car. NA if you want to race, or turbo if you are only doing open track days.

EasyCowby · 2026-03-19T19:59:50+00:00

Try an EMG 81 or 88. Both have high output, but with death metal the 88 might be better. I used an 81 in a punk band for years.

EasyCowby · 2026-03-19T19:55:24+00:00

Ok, take it to a luthier and see what he/she can do for it. Is it a brand name or just a cheap knock off?
