			<description><![CDATA[ So I just bought my very first guitar (!!!) and have started playing around with it (i.e. learning random chords from easy songs).  I want to become more
familiar with the fretboard and notes, so I can really know my guitar and have more freedom/flexibility in playing.  What are your suggestions for learning? 
Are there certain steps I should follow or got any tips to make this process smoother?

A little background info: I&#39;m totally new to playing the guitar, so I have no... ]]></description>

strings alloyed with titanium?

Second, what about coated strings?  I have for some time been an adherent of the 80/20 nanoweb Elixirs (12/56) but they are very expensive and there are other
coated makes (the polyywebs I find a bit dull) - any suggestions?  D&#39;Aquisto don&#39;t seem to make coateds or I might try thier brss... ]]></description>

Your milage may vary.  <br><br>The following is a reprint of THE GUILD OF AMERICAN LUTHIERS data sheet #45. <br><br>Many guitarists are frustrated because of their attempts to tune the guitar to pure chords (free of beats).

			<description><![CDATA[ I've taken it upon myself to add a chord melody component to this section. I've picked a relatively easy song to get started. I tend to work in reverse, much to the dismay of my esteemed scholars of the school of pedagogue, and work on chords first. The melody is simple enough that most of you should be able to find the notes on the fingerboard. Try to follow my advice on the &quot;chord melody&quot; part of this section. Later you may want to add partial or non-rooted chords as well. Let me... ]]></description>

Not sure if you have heard it or if so you can add anything. I am working on it. Usually G is too low for me to sing but this is almost too high. However, I get embarrassed easily singing so it's difficult for me to let her rip..LOL<br><br>If you have heard it, can you add to what they are doing on guitar.

			<description><![CDATA[ I know we have a few members on this forum so I thought I'd drop in!  The institute has really taken off and everyone is learning how to solo and improvise to Jimmy's video lessons.  He responds pretty quickly with his own video (members submit videos of themselves practicing the material) and it's all very professionally done.  It's sort of YouTube learning style.  There's plenty of lessons, over 40 just on his Improvisation Level 1.  Then he teaches how to solo to tunes like Blue Bossa,... ]]></description>
