Hey well done!! I thought you'd gone Hari Krishna on us for a minute then. (Oh my Lord...) Oirish we were talking about strings with you on saga as well...I had no idea it was all happening in here too!! Good advice, Meow. Oirish don't forget that new strings may go out of tune more frequently until they've stretched a bit. DzM sometimes the factory strings aren't that great and I suspect Oirish needs particular guage for the way he plays (hard!).
When I was fourteen (yes everyone, get a cup of tea I'm going to tell a story..) I used to tune the guitar on itself, and they were so tight they'd often snap...I used to wonder how I was going to live through all the 'tension..'
Kenny if you can cause such a Holy Epiphany with such a small piece of advice I'd be worried about what you could do when you 'are' in your depth... :P

Don't cut the strings - loosen the strings, right down.

But now down enough that they come detached from the guitar...

Grab another pick and carry on! ...are there no other picks in Serbia? If it's wedged in there somewhere - leave it alone. Have a look for it the next time you change strings. As for the 'bother' of tuning all those strings again - it gets easier every time you do it! Eventually you'll be able to replace a broken string in the middle of a tune without missing a beat! Keep it up! The more music being made, the better off we'll all be.
...ain't it funny how you used to know everybody in these parts...

Dear All,

It has been over 18 months since I posted on this thread asking about buying a guitar. Since then I have purchased a Yamaha F310, Guitar for Dummies and at the start of this year I started having lessons. Obviously I have been strumming away at the chords to a lot of Pogues and my guitar teacher has been teaching me some finger picking - things like some basic blues, Blackbird and In my Life by the Beatles and Hurt by Johnny Cash.

He has asked me to find some songs that he could teach me. I woudl never call myself accomplished but because I can play Blackbird I really feel that I am getting a touch better - Can you guys recommend any good finger picking tunes that arepretty darn good tunes and woudl stretch me further? Don't mind whether it is Pogues, Irish or anything else although I woudl steer away from Heavy Metal which ss the type of thing my teacher is in to.

BTW, if it was not for this thread I would probably not have begun to learn, so thanks to all who gave good advice at the time........
