i'm a guy. i play guitar. been playing for 3 years and i rock.

how do you need help with palm mutes? just rest your hand on the strings while plucking. not, like, your whole hand but the end of it, like, below your pinkey.

thats awesome guys ...my uncle gave me a CF Martin LXM Acoustic (*drool*) for christmas. I've been playing since January, i spent a week and a half tuning it, but hey i learned it and im pretty good at tuning now. Been about 7 months and im not that great either. Im planning to get a yamaha jasmine. I recently tried to play Nirvana - Heart Shaped Box, i can play the intro perfect, chorus...a little edgy on the bend. Honestly im not even sure how to do it xD.

yeah thats how you pretty much do it just make sure that you dont press hard and let your hand rest on it to give it the good mute

if you need any help theres a forum place in mxtabs.net something called like musicians forums where all they discuss there is music, and instruments. bet you have a better time learning guitar there than speaking to a bunch of amaeturs like us here.

yeah i play the guitar..i actually started about 3 weeks ago by teaching myself...it's not that hard really! umm i suggest you play plucking songs instead of chords...cuz there easier...like play sick cycle carousel by lifehouse...it was my first song and it songs great! oh and learn how to read guitar tabs because there so much easier than having a list of chords! happy strumming! happy.gif

i play my yamaha black gloss electric.. you can see it on my avatar

but yeah i hate this guitar. im still saving for a gibson epiphone.

i've been playing two years.

palm mute - just rest your hand on the strings and strum/pluck but like the first reply dude said. not your whole hand. it'll be obvious if you just try.

i dont know what other tips you need but if you want to learn fast. start on power chords. i taught myself and i learned pretty quick.
