which is completely different than say playing on a Les Paul or Strat. I do have a Strat but I don't ever play it much. Need to 
buy me a new pedal and fix my pickup on my Strat. 

All I know is there are tons of vids on youtube with great guitar players showing you how to play electric that I have been 
wanting to look up and practice myself once I get either my Strat fixed or just buy a better electric which will probably be 
the way I roll. I will get back to you on this one, just have fun for now, guitar is great for you spirit and your soul.



BTW, don't buy your guitar on the internet. Play it first, this is my only advise. Play a guitar in a guitar store then buy it.

I bought 2 guitars on the internet and both were ****** up and my Dad and I had to fix them.

I used to be that way until I found Sweetwater. They not only put up a stock photo of a guitar, they take detailed pictures of every single guitar they sell from every angle, so you can see the woodgrain you're getting, the serial number, etc. Then they run an inspection on it before they ship it. If you get it and don't like it, return it free with no hassle at all. I've probably bought 7-8 guitars from them, both electric and acoustic. Plus one Mesa Boogie MkV 10/45/90 combo amp with no problem at all. When I bought my MkV, it was a returned item, marked down because it was supposed to have a small scratch on the switchplate. Got a heck of a deal on it, being a returned item. I called them and the salesman went and looked at it, and said otherwise it looked in perfect condition. When it arrived, it was perfect, looked like new and never out of the box, and I still can't see any scratch on it. The reverb did not work though. So, where the reverb plugs in there are two unmarked RCA plugs in the back. I pulled them off and switched them, and the reverb works perfect. I suspect that is why the original buyer sent it back. Saved me 400.00 off new.
