    WRIST ACTION.
    Yep, play from the wrist, not the elbow - no matter how unintuitive it may seem at first.

      Electric guitar gets run over by a car on the highway
      This is a crime against the state
      This is the meaning of life.


      To tune this electric guitar

      An electric guitar is brought in to a court of law
      The judge and the jury (twelve members of the jury)
      All listening to records
      This is a crime against the state
      This is the verdict they reach:

      Never listen to electric guitar

      Electric guitar is copies, the copy sounds better
      Call this the law of justice, call this freedom and liberty
      I thought I perjure myself, right infront of the jury!
      Is this a crime against the state? No!
      This is the verdict they reach:

      Someone controls electric guitar.

              I'd start with a decent accoustic. Electric will get you sidetracked into effect units (ooh thats a good noise), then you stop learning.
              The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

              But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

                  Acoustic, you can always put a towel inside it if your neighbours complain.

                  Would also say lessons are a good idea and classical guitar with a graded teacher. If you can't do scales you'll never do rock'n'roll 'cause it's mostly just syncopated scales. "Rock around the clock" for example. You never know, you might actually prefer classical guitar.

                    I started learning about 12 months ago. I went straight for the electric and lessons. I hadn't touched a guitar to that point. The good thing I found with lessons is that it encourages you to practice. The guy I had was patient and did the lessons around the type of music I liked. I have found that since I started working away again and so dropped the lessons the amount I parctice has dropped a lot. It doesn't help that I kept the guitar down south and so couldn't practice at the weekend.

                    For Christmas I got and acoustic electric fender and I must admit I am impressed with it. This will be staying at home! The sound is good and I agree with the points made before, it does make playing the electric seem a piece of pi55. I kind of wish I'd started on this and got an electric one afterwards.
                    Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

                    I preferred version 1!

                      acoustic electric fender - is that the one that looks like a telecaster?
