practice chords regualy
do alot of alternate picking and alot of metranome work to get your timing right after you get a good rythm build up speed and try a few licks and solos
oh btw sangan is that E,A,D (top to bottom) or E,B,G (top to bottom)? |

It all depends on your style of playing. I would focus on memorizing chords and scales, because both are very important to all guitar players. |

Speed Pick,Tapping,Whammy Effects
Speed Pick=To Speed Pick just Pick the strings really fast
Tapping=If you have seen some metal videos that have the guitarist using
their right hand on the fret board(or left hand on the fretboard).That is called
Tapping and you need strength to do tapping.
Whammy Effects=If you bring the Whammy Bar Up or Down it creates
a weird sound that is called a effect.To do a Whammy Effect just
Bring the Whammy Bar up or down while playing a Fret,Chord,Solo. |

A friend of mine taught me and here's what he told me:
Learn the major and minor chords first. Practice this picking excersice routine:
E------------------------------------------------1-2-3-4------
B--------------------------------------1-2-3-4----------------
G-----------------------------1-2-3-4------------------------
D--------------------1-2-3-4---------------------------------
A-----------1-2-3-4-----------------------------------------
E--1-2-3-4-------------------------------------------------
Go online and search for some TAB music sheets, they'll help you learn techniques. |

Well, I can tune it, and for practice I play 'Baby Girl' by Sugarland. Singing and all.... |

Ehh... I wouldn't play country music on an electric unless its Keith Urban, Brad Paisley, etc. If you've never played any guitar, you should get an acoutic. It's easier to play and can help you play electric better. |

actually, acoustic is supposed to be harder....besides, if I set the effects 2 phaser, it starts to sound like an alternative song....i could change the words...i am a songwriter after all.... |

insted of learning songs learn the 12 bar blues (i think)becase your learning thousands of songs just by learning but iff you do prefer songs go on a usic website and try to keep up with the songs |
