Brand NEW!!
Hey all. I just got my first guitar for my birthday 2 days ago, it's an old acoustic. My fingers are pretty sore. =) So far all I've learned are E and Am. I'm from Vancouver, WA and so far, I'm lovin' the site. Thanks for reading my hello.

I can't do D yet... it's only got 5 strings. It's my friend's old guitar. He says he felt bad about giving me on that's missing high E, but I'm totally too stoked to mind. I'm going to buy new strings for it tomorrow. Not sure if I should stick with bronze, or try steel or nylon... is there a real difference in sound?

Well I'm more of the electric guitar type and I use slinky's, some of these other acoustic players could prolly give you a good idea... D'addario's maybe? Try C and E minor

G'day Horndogrob88766, welcome to the forum.
It may pay to check with your friend, what strings the guitar was setup for, and stick with them, or have it re-setup for the new type/guage strings.... If its a nylon string guitar, you should stick with nylons, its discussed in the tech forum, somewhere, but i couldnt find it....

Download the PDF of the 'Guitar Chord Slide Rule', print it out, fold it together and you'll have at your disposal a very neat tool that will not only show you all the positions for the main flavors of chords, but will also teach you a very important lesson about how the guitar works... It consists of a folded sleeve and six double sided inserts, instructions for cutting it out and folding it together are included with the PDF ... it's very simple to do, and if you botch it, you can simply print it out again!
