List of ranks

[Beebop]

Yeah, I could find out how to play some.

[Feanaro Surion]

Some? You know how to play one, and you know how to play all of them. They're that simple.

[Beebop]

Looks like I can play them all.

[Feanaro Surion]

THat's good. I know how to play power chords between the G and B strings as well. That's a bit more difficult.

[Beebop]

I can play don't look back in anger by oasis now.

[Feanaro Surion]

Hey, that's great! The whole thing, or just parts of it?

[Beebop]

The whole thing. I still get stuck on the F, but apart from that, I amjust about getting it.

[Feanaro Surion]

So you're just doin chords, huh?

[Beebop]

Yeah, just for now. No picking yet, I've only been playing for 2 days!

[Feanaro Surion]

First, get yourself a pick. Do your thumb a favour. And riffs are the best part!

[Beebop]

I will be going to my uncles tomorrow so i will get a couple of picks.

[Feanaro Surion]

That's good. Oh, and just so you know, I was playing crazy train my first day.

[Beebop]

Who did crazy train?

[Shape of Death]

Ozzy Osbourne & Randy Rhoads (RIP)

[Feanaro Surion]

Look up the song on radioblog. It's brilliant. As I said, I played it my first day.

[Beebop]

Them Barre chords are bloody hard.

[Feanaro Surion]

Don't try them for another few weeks. You won't help your skills at all by trying them now.

[Beebop]

Okay. I should take it one step at a time.

[Feanaro Surion]

Yeah. Barre chords are some of the toughest stuff in guitar technique. For now, learn as many open chords as you can, both major and minor, and try to improve transition between them. I'd also suggest trying riffs, because they'll improve your fretting skills as well as your picking.

[Beebop]

I can kind of do picking on guitar now.
