Duo Sonic Guitar I want to learn guitar decent as fast as possible to try to catch up to my friends ill work my butt off for it?
My friends have been playing for a good one or so year(s) now and im just starting and i want to get better as fast as possible the music i like is alternative and post punk but i want to learn some good blues(idk why one of my friends says blues is easy but he dosent realy play blues that much).... but is there any certain songs or scales or should i learn my chords and what is a pretty good website for chords......
Thanks in advance my guitar is a duo-sonic(its based on a fender mustang) and a crappy guitar based on a stratocaster
tune your guitar to drop d it is regular tuning only the lowest string is tuned down to D then on that string then the 2 below it you can play one finger bar cords then look up never to late by three days grace it will help you get used to drop d it is easy and helped me learn to play good and fast because it is easy
Would it be worth it to get a tremolo arm/whammy bar installed on my guitar?
So, I'm thoroughly happy with my cheap little Fender Duo-Sonic re-issue. It's a beautiful sound, it's got ridiculously low action, it's sized right for me (Go 3/4!) and it's just a good looking guitar.
Only problem is, I'm expanding my guitar knowledge and playing a bit, and I've found a lot of songs that use the whammy bar.
Would it be worth it to get a tremolo arm put in? Is it even possible? Should I just start looking for a new guitar?
'Twould be nice if I actually described the bridge, wouldn't it?
The bridge is made of three T-shaped structures with a spring on the long part of the T. One string is in each arm of the T. It's very similar to the TC bridge shown here: http://www.biztrademarket.com/User/187777/bb/guitar-bridge_5ct.jpg
Leafy, it pretty much depends on how much money you want to spend, and how extensive you want to modify your guitar. Since you seem very happy with the Duo-Sonic, you may want to consider the Schaller tremolo bridge (see http://schaller-electronic.com/hp135042/Tremolo-Les-Paul.htm ), which does not require routing the body for the more traditional Fender floating arrangement. Although I do not have any experience with this system, it does have the advantage of minimal modifications required for installation, plus Schaller generally makes reliable hardware. See http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100321234142AA8BTVy for a few additional thoughts on this bridge. The Bigsby units would also work, but they tend to be clunkier, less dynamic in operation, and require a separate bridge and tailpiece (see http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Bridges,_tailpieces/Electric_guitar_tremolos/Bigsby_Vibrato_Tailpieces.html ).
