no, upgrade will never stop.
must reach the holy grail.

a '57 LP sunburst in mint condition.

My holy Grail would be a mint condition Gibson Moderne.....

And then I'll gut it, whack in EMGs and a Floyd Rose.....

I can hear the Gibson collector's hearts breaking collectively now!

OMG you suck, I played Pantera's Walk on my acoustic.

Seriously though, if someone wants to play 3-chord-songs on a mint Gibson, then let them be. I wouldn't trade my skills for a mint Gibson.

Then again... maybe I would.

*Sorry for the random-ness*

Speaking of which........ here's an interesting topic.....
What's the first EVER song you learned on the guitar, and thought to you buy whom?

Mine was Unchained Melody by my guitar teacher......

Song 2 by Blur, taught by valkyrie1232...

of course, that was way back in those pre-millenium days before valkyrie started playing whole-tone scales, tapping, sweep arpeggios etc!

My first song was taught by my then guitar teacher, Cranberries' Zombies. The first full song I ever learnt though was Richard Marx's Now & Forever.

My first song was also Richard Marx's Now & forever by Damien, my friend.

my first song was My Redeemer Lives by Hillsongs. had to play in church in a week. lol. first non church song was probably Time of Your Life by Green Day.

me probably numb by linkin park.
self edited so that no drop chord at that n00bish times.

me? nothing else matters by metallica, self taught(took lessons only last september)

can't remember mine ... i think it's Nirvana's "About A Girl"

then started learning by myself thru tabs, and able to finish nothing else matters (with the exceptional of solo parts), and most metallica 'black album' stuffs.

never had any musical class (except for playing recorder, tambourine, snare, those small instruments back in primary school...lol)

@ soulfly,izzit wrong to play 3 chord songs???they're the first songs i learned,and i still play them.i dunno really,yes,it is easy,but i enjoy playing and listening to those songs still.but,i do respect ur opinion

no disrespect to SX,but since it's 4 my bday,i want something better than that,if it was my own money,i'd go for SX.

i still remember my 1st song was Beyond's Bu Zai You Yu...taught by my bro when i was abt 8-9 yrs old...

Planned to buy electric guitar la friends...any recommendation for budget +- 1.5K ?... cannot tahan already when my bos bought the Gibson SG 61' Reissue...whopping 7K...huhuhu..just starting back to play guitar..

go SG buy the epiphone G-400 brand new SGD600
epiphone's answer to the '61 RI.

that's because you use random downstroke/upstroke combination I guess. practice makes perfect. the best way is to relax yourself, and start by singing to yourself at first. make sure you sing and strum according to the tempo.

after that you can concentrate on pitching and stuffs

p/s: can't imagine Dave Mustaine singing while riffing the song "Holy Wars"

First song I learned was Song 2 too and taught by Harmony Central tabs, in which I showed RustReaver whom I now

If it wasn't for him I wouldn't know what are sweep arpeggios!
RustReaver, two can play at this game...

1st song, nirvana - come as you are, taught from a friend
