  Classical Guitar - Anyone?
  
  I've started learning Classical Guitar. 😀 May I know if we have any classical guitarists on our forums.
  
  It'd be nice if you put a few nice compositions. Feel free to put your original work.

  classical Guitar
  
  Its amazing to know that all that I have learnt about Guitaring in past 5 years is useless when it comes to playing the Classical Guitar. 😔
  
  I wonder if we have anyone who's into Classical Guitar.
  
  Btw, I'm thinking of buying a new processor for my electric guitar. Suggest models please 😀 ( money no bar )

  My Korg processor does the job for me. I have been into rock since I was 10. AP Tuner is good though.

  😁Well i m also into guitaring now😎
  
  Well not for a longer period but i m playing guitar for the last 2 months. And the result is that my neighbours come and complain to my mom about my playing guitar. 😁😁
  But well now i m into some songs and practising them. So just love to play and i m just getting into it more and more.
  I think that we should have a different forum for music( different threads for different instruments) so that we can discuss a lot more things about it and can get some knowledge and moreover pass that knowledge to the begineers and can inspire more s to get into into music.
  
  😁Samar😁

  Im deep into guitaring,
  
  Have been playing for 6 years now, also jammed with a couple of local bands, won some ameteur competitions.
  My guitar has pulled me through a lot of rough times, so although i may not be very good at playing it i have a strong attachment with it..
  
  Ya, n if a crazy engineers band comes up
  I want in..
• 

  Kaustubh Katdare

  Hey there!
  
  Good to see that we are picking up some momentum here. We've discussed the idea of forming CrazyEngineers band - and everyone feels "WHY NOT?" 😁
  
  Gaurav, in your free time, can you come up with a tune for the Great CE song that we're trying to compose? 😁

  Its never enough, sire. 😀
  
  First of all, spend few days/hours trying to fall in love with Guitar. Then you'll understand 😁 !
  
  All the best!
  
• 

  gohm

  About an hour or half hour a day for a beginner is good. Start with these: learn to tune your guitar, learn how to strum and practise open chords.
• 

  Kaustubh Katdare

  Gohm, I recommend everyone to start with the scales. What do you think one should begin with - open chords, strumming or the scales?
• 

  gohm

  Well tuning and strumming/fretting patterns first as those are the tools to play anything wether chords or scales/notes. I always think open chords first, then scales. Reason being most people want to learn to play songs, not be musicians. Chords are more practical that way as with knowing the major open or bar chords one can play along with any song. This creates a quick positive sense of accomplishment feedback to the player, enticing them to continue playing and learning. After that: scales, further chords, advaced strumming techniques and theory if they wish to be a musician. Also depends if they wish to be a rythm or lead guitar player. If all they want is to play songs then knowing chords, basic strumming technique, a couple basic scales and reading tab is all they need to know.

  Thanks! Not sure what came over me, I promise to limit my moments of clarity and stay with my usual pyschobabble- laugh.
  
  there are lots of good media to assist people learning guitar (net, books, cds/dvds) Nothing beats teaming up with fellow plyers who can teach. Nothing ihn my opinion improves your playing than jamming with others.

  It has been my dream to play Guitar..since my Graduation Days...due to financial Problems i couldn't make it true .... But thanks to my Job.... iam planning to buy a guitar with my 1st salary and attend Guitar Classes...everyday...
  
  @Bigge...and Other Pro...Guitarists...
  Tips for New Bies and what are the important topics we should concentrate while learning ......???
• 

  Kaustubh Katdare

  Tip #1 :
  
  Don't give up! Learning to play Guitar is not as easy as you might think. I'm not scaring you - I just don't want you to quit.
  
  Tip #2:
  
  Fall in love with your instrument. That's the most important thing.
  
  Tip #3:
  
  Practice everyday; give no excuse to yourself.
  
  Tip #4:
  
  Don't jump on to tough compositions. Start with gripe water and them move on to hard drinks.
  
  PS: Hard drinks - stay away from them, if you can.
  
  That's pretty much I've to say.

  To me music is like life , i listen to many of songs , and i even write few songs on my own and i am a good singer is what my friends say .
  But , learning guitar is my dream and i just started learning guitar .
  But all the songs i listen to and sing are my local language and few of them are Hindi.
  So i am ready to be a Singer in our own band , but can you please help me out in suggesting few songs which are easy to practice then the tougher ones such that i could learn easily and sing better.
  And planning to learn Karnataka Music one of the toughest .
  My dream is to Play Guitar and Sing a song on a stage atleast once.😛
• 

  Kaustubh Katdare

  @English-Scared: How about helping us with composing the CE Song?
• 

  Saandeep Sreerambatla

  😎Sure Biggie , i will help in what field i could and i can sing it as well.
• 

  Saandeep Sreerambatla

  Any left handed guitarists ? am one 😎😎
• 

  Kaustubh Katdare

  @English Scared: I am. But I play it right handed.
• 

  Saandeep Sreerambatla

  (other than you 😎 )
• 

  Kaustubh Katdare

  1. Sir Paul McCartney
  
  2. Jimi Hendrix
• 

  Saandeep Sreerambatla

  Thankyou Biggie and to add this i have found that Kurn Gobain from band Nirvana is also a left hander. 😎😎
• 

  gohm

  I am left handed however play right handed. Easier than re-stringing and being limited to the few lh guitars.
• 

  Kaustubh Katdare

  Gohm, we've lots of things in common!
• 

  gohm

  very cool Biggie! did you see my answer to your effects question a couple days ago in the chat?
• 

  Kaustubh Katdare

  Yep, thanks! I think I'll go with RP 350. The better processor may come later; as I upgrade my Guitaring skills. 😀
• 

  Saandeep Sreerambatla

  So since how many days/years have you been playing guitar Gohm?
• 

  gohm

  Off and on for about 20 years, crap that just made me feel old! =)
• 

  Kaustubh Katdare

  gohm

  Do you have any videos of your state performances on youTube? 😀
• 

  gohm

  No I do not, you forget I am not that hip with IT. =) If you ever come to DC you are welcome to a jam session in my living room or garage.
• 

  Ashraf HZ

  Well, any old video cassettes you can post to us? We'll digitize them for you, for free 😛

  Can you do anything with 8mm? laugh! only kidding
• 

  Kaustubh Katdare

  I imagine Gohm performaing at CE World Meet, in front of thousands of engineers!
  
  [ PS: CE World Meet is going to happen, soon. Be ready! ]
• 

  gohm

  That would be sweet! The audience should supply their own tomatoes to cut down on my expenses...
• 

  gohm

  So everyone tell me about your equipment?
  
  guitar?
  amp?
  effects/processors?
  use any recording equipment?
• 

  Kaustubh Katdare

  Moi -
  
  Guitar : gb&a (electric) , Granada (Acoustic), Yamaha C-40 (Nylon String) [Planning to buy]
  
  Amp - Don't have one. 😔
  
  Effects: Had a Zoom which I bought 4 years ago. Will buy Digitech RP 350 soon.
  
  Recording Equipment: No 😔
• 

  Ashraf HZ

  What does recording equipment mean? Would a computer be considered as one?
• 

  gohm

  Ash- can be! I have a 4 track system that uses PC software for editing & recording.
  
  My info: Gibson hollow-body guitar with Bigsby tremelo. Marshall amp, Behringer effects processor with a large pile of indiviual effects pedals, most of which are gathering dust.
• 

  Saandeep Sreerambatla

  Thats great Gohm , 20 years .
  i just started i have a Gb & a acoustic guitar.
• 

  Kaustubh Katdare

  Is there any freeware that runs on Vista I can use to add effects to my electric guitar?
• 

  gohm

  Not that I know of, I'll keep a look out. Most programs require purchase of either soft or hardware. Have you used garageband before?
• 

  Kaustubh Katdare

  Garageband is available on Mac, right? I only had a look at it. Never tried it though.
• 

  gohm

  yes, mac. mac has some of the best music software for composition.
• 

  Ashraf HZ

  I learned guitar during my 3rd. yr.high sch. I just knew how to play the chords and some strumming and plucking. I really wanted to learn more about guitaring especially those drops and broken chords...it sounds so cool when my classmate performed during our college christmas party😀
• 

  jenno

  playing the guitar is like riding a bike for me, I learned playing it last 4 years, at my first 2 years I trained to play it well, but then my guitar broke and I stopped until last month, I borrowed the guitar of my fellow friend and start playing again, and then I realized that I'm still good at it.
