For bored guitarists:

e--3--5-6--8---6-5-3---3-5-1--1-3-0--

e--3--5-6--8---6-5-3---3-5-1--1-3s8--

So easy, you don't even need to know how to play a guitar. That's the opening riff you hear every time you go to the login screen. I'd attempt to do more of it, but unfortunately there are no symbols in tabulature to properly express 'several minutes of wind noises, campfire, and drums.'

lol im not a guitarist, but my dad is a big one, he has like 5 guitars ill go pick one up and try it, only prob i have is its lefty, but my good friend weezer said just play it upside down

edit- now if i only know witch one was the e string

Thanks for that. I don't play guitar, but I used it to figure it out on my violin. (I was trying to do it by ear earlier, but to no prevail)

edit- I'd love to get the sheet music somewhere for my school orchestra.

I may have to try that out on my guitar sometime.

Whosa, the e string is both the thckest (lowest pitch) and the thinnest (highest pitch). This riff would be played on the highest string.

ahhh and like 3 is the 3rd fret right?

Right, wherein 0 is the equivalent of playing an open string. There isn't much to reading tabs aside from familiarity with how certain actions are expressed, ie a 3s8 or a 3/8 could both be used to express a slide, whereas something like 3^ would be used to express a pitch bend.

Guitar What?

you cant tell me thats a real guitar

It could be if you got it customized that way

One of you guitarists should post a recording of that.

lol... awesome. this'll sound funny with my effects pedal on tremolo with church-like reverb. *turns 5 knobs and pushes the pedal up a bit* wee...

I've got only 2 guitars... And my brother has 3 (but my electric is awesome). I've got a Fender: Fat Strat (with sunburst finish), a Hohnor Acoustic-Electric I got from a pawn shop, and my brother has a crappy Squire, a really nice acoustic-electric (also from a pawn shop), and an insanely awesome acoustic (really nice wood, it's loud as hell and it's got a good sound). Oh and my preamp is a Digitect rp300a.

I have an Epiphone G400 (the Goth one), a Hohner acoustic, and an Ibanez Acoustic Electric.

Next on the list are a Schecter S (either the elite or the blackjack) and a Dean 12 string electric.

EDIT: I think you are one fret flat than it's supposed to be...

I have a Simon & Patrick accoustic electric (awesome sound for a good price, Canadian made), and an el Degas Bass guitar (only ever seen one other guitar by el Degas. I think it sounds and works great for a no name brand guitar).

I want to get a red Gibson Les Paul, but I may settle for the Epiphone version.

OK, sorry guys, I know this is shameless but..

I have:
2 Gibsons SG's, heavily customised,1 black and chrome, 1 brown and gold w/Bigsby Trem
1 Rickenbacker 360, Black and White(what else?)
1 Fender Tele Thinline with HB in the bridge(rocks the house yo)

Thru:
1974 Hiwatt DR103 100W
1987 Marshall JCM800 50W
Fender Hot Rod Deluxe 40W

Whew, ok I feel better now.....

Okay if we're showing off electrics, I've got a frikkin' electric violin, okay?

I have a broken harmonica.

well, thanks to all these guitar posts...and weezer being in my guild. ive tought myslef a little guitar! WOOHOO! i have to learn lefty though because all my dads guitars are lefty well thanks you guys and if anyone has some cool songs using baisic chords maybe you could post it? :/ im just trying to pick up some easy songs to just play in my free time, it would be really helpfull (i allready did all the ones posted allready, so you dont have to tell me bout those)

I have a recording of a concerto for electric violin, does that count?

sorry to be a pain, but its in G#/Ab minor, not G minor, so it should all be played up one fret

I thought that too when I was playing it Soup Erman, I just thought my guitar was out of tune.
