Hello. First of all, let me say I'm glad there is this forum. I have a few questions about playing acoustic guitar, but I'll only ask one right now. The tips...
Welcome aboard Cindi... As for your questions. Yes your fingers will toughen up and develop callouses. Just keep at it, it'll hurt a bit as you develop the ...
Thanks, Dan. Now that I know it's normal for them to hurt, I have another question pertaining to this. Will they bleed? I really mean this, because it seems it...
Not normally on an acoustic. The strings are not thin enough. If your first guitar is an electric it's not uncommon to bleed a little when learning. If you get...
Hi Cindy, and Hi Dan, Cindi, Dan is telling you exactly the way it is, but if I may add a comment. There is little benefit in getting "blisters" as they will...

Friends, any one of you plz tell me about the relation b/w scales and chords. We know that for any song we can able to play both lead (notes) and as well as...

My next question is: maybe I have the wrong guitar? I have an Oscar Schmidt, it has a nice sound but it's bigger than I used to play and I thought I could...
Thanks, guys. I'm thinking this is not the guitar for me, but I will use it until I get another one. The top strings are thin...I really never used a metal...
Sounds like your used to a Classical guitar with nylon or plastic strings. A bit of a different animal. Depends on what kind of music you plan to play as to...
I gave up on Dreadnaughts years ago and only play 000 size. The Ds are just not comfortable to me. Marv Sobolesky www.marvsmusic.com My next question is: maybe...
Being comfortable with the guitar and the strings are very impt. You definitely want an instrument that fits u. As for strings, I am very finnicky and lots...

Cindy, although we don't have these Oscar Schmidt guitar in my country (The UK) I've looked at their website, and , frankly they look to be pretty cheap ...
Hi Cindi, Not sure, I think I went thru a bit of what your going thru. I played for a period (short one) long ago.. A little over a year ago I pulled the...
Cindy, here is a cheap trick that can save you some finger pain. (1) Buy a capo for your guitar, there are many brands and types, try them out at a music...
<<I'm a smaller fella and I felt that I was holding onto a foot locker everytime I played.. >> LOL, Jimbo, you described my feeling exactly. Except in my case,...
It does help a lot, Andrew. The guitar has a nice enough tone, but it really is way too big for me. Little did I know. Yes, I will be looking at smaller...
Lee, ok, thanks for advice about a capo. The tune I'm singing is in the key of A, so it's not hard for me except for the B chord. That's hard. But I'm working...
