  • If you Believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins then Resurrected three days later and is our Lord and Savior you will be saved ! He who is sinless died on the cross for our sins just so we could be here. He is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords from generation to generation! Read your bible daily and Repent!! God bless you and your family!???? (Not trying to force upon anyone who does not agree ) Have a blessed day!

  • I think a true beginner would not have a clue to ALL ALL ALL the stuff you're throwing at them!!
    An experienced player could steer a beginner much better than they can steer themselves and avoid a guitar with bad action. That turns off more beginners than just about anything. A shorter scale length to begin with.

  • Hey, there. 20 yrs in and I've got the only piece of advice ya need, if you're a beginner… Ready? First be comfortable, then, what the guitar needs to be played properly, will show you how to conform and, over time, you will naturally adjust, to becoming the best player you can be. You don't need someone, telling you things like this, to cloud your ability to enjoy being a beginner. It's about the journey. Don't let someone tell you how to skip the most enjoyable steps to look back on. Mistakes make the musician!
