@Patrick Actually, the reason I made my own topic, is because I thought the guitar topic was about well... guitars. Like, purchases, and all that stuff. Throwing up a 'learning' how to play in the middle of a 130 page thread seemed like a bad idea. Now I know better. I could get a mod to consolidate these two threads?
On topic, thanks everyone! Patrick, the Intonation article made a little sense, but I get the feeling that its something for farther down the line. I seem to remember an amp (based on your pictures) or something down in storage, so I'll look there before I get started. Thanks a load for the websites, I didn't really find any beginner stuff that didn't require me to sign up for the vidoes etc. etc. Your google foo is much stronger then mine.
My 'local' music shoppe is an hour away at high speeds, but it sounds like a trip I'll need to make at some point. Also, guitar tabs are beyond me, because I don't know what string is what, hopefully the provided websites will fix that. I guess the rest is up to me in that department. Thanks again for the replies and help, now I have quite a bit to look over.
