Josh asked:


I’ve been trying to sing along with some of the songs that I play on the guitar, but I have had no luck. When I try I always mess up the fretting or strum pattern while playing. Is there a way that I can learn to sing and play guitar at the same time, thanks for your help.

Andy asked:


I’m thinking about buying a Mac because I love the garageband program, and I noticed in the video that it says that you can plug your guitar into the computer and add effects after, rather than just recording.Since I don’t have a good space for a recording studio-like environment, I figure this would produce much better sound. I was wondering what type of equipment I would need to do this, and what the price would be. Thanks!

Blasko [Kings and Angels] asked:


I’m selling a guitar/amp bundle, but someone has offered to purchase the guitar separately. I am just curious if this will make selling the amp on its own more difficult. I’m really wanting to sell it as fast as I can to get rid of it.
Alright great. No it’s name brand quality equipment. Thanks for the input!

Jamie asked:


I would like to learn to play acoustic guitar. Problem is, I do not know which guitar brand to buy or model. I am 18 years old and my height is 5/3. I would not need a kid’s guitar, but I would not want a very big guitar either. What would you recommend?
Also, I am a beginner. I never played guitar before.

Danielle L asked:


I been having this acoustic guitar for a couple months and just know the basics, besides the major, minor, all of the guitar chords. This is kind of the important part to write your own music.
-So anyone knows?

clancy asked:


Not just a book with a bunch of shapes but a book that also teaches fundamentals and theory of the shapes. In other words a book to somewhat learn how to master the guitar.
