I reckon most people who visit this site play guitar and I thought it would be cool to start this thread so people can come and talk guitar, discuss problems, share tips and advice etc. Basically ANYTHING about guitars. Let's face it, what guitar player DOESN'T love to talk guitar?

I play an Ibanez G10. Ive only been playing about a year so Im kind of a low-intermediate player. Still, Im getting better and enjoying myself along the way.
I have a quick question- can anyone explain what a pinched harmonic is, and how to play one?
It's a squealing effect that a lot of metal guitarists use. Zakk Wylde is the master of it.
You have to pick the string, then let your thumb brush the string straight after. It's quite tricky. You usually find sweet spots in terms of frets, strings, and actual string position.
i've got a cheapy washburn d10s acoustic and a fender strat...i'm also a lefty...getting something new and expensive in the new year but haven't decided what
I have slowly but surely moved towards jazz-guitar playing. Nowadays I listen much to Pat Metheny, Mike Stern, John McLaughlin and others, and fiddle around and improvise a lot while listening to their songs. I can recommend to check out their music, if word "jazz" doesn't cause pimples or anger.
Meh Im pretty mediocre, but Ive only been playing about a year. Im gettin way better though, starting to master more techniques. I pretty much practice every day, usually for at least 10-15 minutes.
10-15 minutes isn't very much It's good you're practicing every day, but my teachers (for different instruments) have always told me to do at least 30 minutes... Though like I said, better 15 minutes every day than an hour once a week or something...
