mikemandolin mikemandolin Be Nice (I'm New!) Registered: 26/06/10 Posts: 24 Loc: Queensbury	My Name is Mike, I have played keyboard instruments for many years. Took up Mandolin 4 years ago.Now I want to learn electric guitar I have a new Dean EVO XM Mahogany Electric guitar, I also have a Yamaha Acoustic I have had for some time but never really given it much attention. Need to learn from the start. Those frets are a whole lot wider than the Mandolin _________________________ Mike

Check out http://www.guitarnoise.com/ as they have lots of useful bits and bobs for the new guitarist. Some of their articles are very wordy but I've found them an excellent source of information.

I'm sure all your questions will be answered here. Is it Queensbury near Edgware you live in or Queensbury in Yorkshire?

Most of their tabs and lyrics have been removed! Really? I've not looked at their tabs for a while now. I do however look at their introductions to scales, modes etc. They also have some great articles regarding structured practice sessions. _________________________ Guitars: Cort Earth Grand, Cort G250 RMS, Kimbara Strat Copy, Vester Strat Copy (Stage Series), Custom Build LP Style (By Steve Benford), 'Podcaster' Custom Build prize!

Gilles C. Gilles C. Professional Forumite! Registered: 09/04/10 Posts: 409 Loc: Dunstable, UK	I know this is not the right forum for this question but out of curiosity, what keyboards did you play? My (currently unused) rig consists of a Yamaha P150 piano/MIDI controller, DX7 & TX7, Roland JV1080, Akai S1000 & S2800i & E-mu Emulator 4 keyboard. Plus a few VSTi (PPG Wave 2.V, Arturia Jupiter 8V and Prophet V) but I'm not mad about soft synths. _________________________ Fender Telecaster Standard (MIM) Vintage V100HB (Les Paul style) £48 Squier SA-105 acoustic Behringer X V-Amp Marshall Valvestate 80V
