Of course you can teach yourself to play, but always better to at least be around someone who already plays to point out stuff when you are having a hard time. You can't do it with just 'some books', I did and remember going through (and still do to a certian extent) 100's of books on instruction/technique/tab/etc, most of which was garbage (imo), you kinda got to wade through it all and pick out the good stuff and stuff that works for you, thats where as a beginner someone else to help you out is invaluable.

As to acoustic?electric it's up to you, depending on what you want to play (to start), if you wanna rock out go electric as it will give you some gratification more quickly (easy to lean alot of tunes that are easy to play) which will keep your motivation up during the many frustrating periods you will encounter.

: Just starting out, went thru a few books and sites, and got coupla questions :
: 1) can someone REALLY teach themselves to play guitar ? no tutor, just some books and sound clips ?
: can someone with this experience enlighten me ?
: 2) Will learning acoustic first help me play better with electric ? Or am I wasting my time ?
: any rockers here who didnt go thru acoustic ?

I have one I am going to have to sell , I am terminally ill and will probally have to quit playing completely very soon !

: I Have A 60's Hornet, Grover Keys, 2 Humbuker Pickups, cherry Sunburst, 21 fret, Made much like a strat,Made by Empro,Any idea how much its worth?

i have one too...would love to know if you found out anything more...i have 3 pickups on mine though...

: Does anybody know how one can tell where some of these newer epis were made? I've heard some where made in the US, is this true?

The new LP standards are out of Korea but have an 18 point check when they reach the US. Main difference is finishing (neck) and the bulk of the instrument is made of three pieces of mahogany rather than one solid block like the Nashville Gibson LP's.

i strongly suggest mic'n a 4/12 cab rather than going direct. if you mic you get a nice punchy crunch. it is easier to just go direct but the sound is not as heavy and it also tends to be VERY MUSHY and cluttery if you go direct. if you have any other live sound questions feel free to contact me.

i had the same problem but with an alesis pre-amp. if the pedal has an fx loop then i can help you. if the pedal has an fx loop here is what you do. run your guitar into the return on the pedal's fx loop. then run out of the OUTPUT on the pedal into you amp. do not use FX SEND to go back to you amp. by doing this you bypass the pre-amp signal "meaning distortions and eq's" thus letting you use the fx in the pedal. like i said if it doesn't have an fx loop i can't help you. if you are interested i have an alesis quadraverb fx modual for guitar. it sounds great but i have no need to keep it in my mesa rack anymore. i also have an art modual i am willing to sell. both of these will give the sound you want especially the alesis. my e-mail is [email protected]

if you want accustic strings then i would use martins. if you want electric then i would use ernie ball.

: have a gibson epiphone in flawless shape s #0010962 can you please tell me worth and other info. with seymour duncan pickups.thank you.
