Heathens. It's a bloody awful song. Good Charlotte are a nasty, foul-smelling, crusty splatter of a stain on "alternative" music. They're supposedly "punk" but have no ****ing idea what punk even is. Go and listen to some Bad Religion. That's ****ing punk.

pyro, mate, I think you're totally wrong there.











They're much worse than that.

This is all just musical snobbery!



And I aced that exam. So .

In regards to various questions asked: I have a piece of crap, £150 Electric Guitar + Amp set from Argos. I got it like 2-3 years back for Christmas and never bothered with it because everytime I strummed a note, my annoying **** of a brother would come wandering in going "Woooo! Look at you - Eric ****ing Clapton".

And I've resigned myself to the fact that he's too stupid to ever change and that caving his head in with a big ****ing rock would be counter-productive. Just once I'd like to be able to snap without my brain going "Whoa, whoa, whoa! Think about the prison time...."

So I'm 'learning' (*shudders*) while he's out at work.

Just learn the Basic major and minor chords, and next time he does it, play something like 'Wonderful Tonight', it's about 5 chords, and despite being crap, will at least shut your brother up

I still prefer the 'bludgeoned to death' idea.

I got a new guitar for christmas and let me tell you, it is hard to learn all of the cords and all the fretting movements and stuff, but it sure is fun when you can finally play a song.  I can play one offspring song, as well as the white stripes, but they are probably the easiest songs ever.

Im trying to learn myself, and from what I've gathered from my little experience, the key really is practice.  Miss a day and you probably wount notice it, miss a week and I guarentee you will.

Thats where I get all my supplies, gear, and accessories.  Good prices since it's just after christmas.


Im currently playing this package: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/g=guitar/search/detail/base_pid/519456/

I have just remembered how damn hard this **** is.

*bangs head against desk*

It takes a long time to get to the point that you can stand to hear yourself play.  I dont have the time anymore, but I assume that you do, so try to find something to keep you interested in practicing.

IMO you should really stick to the harmonica.

so it wasn't an exam on musical taste then?

[Flipside]

hehehehe You need to get to the point where you think 'G' and your fingers automatically fret it, that's when guitar playing becomes fun

If I ever get bored enough to go road-tripping across America, I'll definitely learn the Harmonica. It'll help pass the time while I'm in the local jails for public nudity and such.
