Down, down, up, down. All of the down strokes are muted and make sure you cut off the un-muted upstroke with a fast muted down stroke.

Playing guitar the right way is important. With the massive number of people that can play guitar, it's still a truth that only a couple of them can play well.

There is actually a correct learning order, a 1st thing, 2nd thing, and even a 3rd thing to learn. The process of guitar learning should be in the right track. Just like skipping rungs on a ladder, jumbling up the learning order causes a lot of unnecessary pain and suffering. It can even lead to bad habits that are nearly unfeasible to break. Some of the awful guitar mistakes here include poor posture while practicing, tensing the muscles and incorrect hand placement. Beginners are usually stubborn, tolerating the practice of having awkward finger placement.

There are guitar lessons on-line that are already designed for beginners. It's highly suggested that new guitarists proceed step by step in proper guidance to overcome guitar learning mistakes.

Just like a guitar. The strings vibrate the bridge, the bridges sends the sound to the back of the guitar, the back sends it to the top and it loops.

Although many people put it near the base of the neck, there is no proper location for a pick holder. Place it where it is most convenient to reach for a pick while playing, provided you can still put the guitar in the case and close it.

To play Godzilla roar on guitar, you use the highest string (meaning the string with the highest pitch) in this way. You first put your 4th finger in the 5th box (these boxes are called frets, and will be called that from here onward; they are ordered from the top so the highest fret is the 1st fret), then you do a down scale to the first finger. Repeat this step, and then then do the 4th fret twice, then the down scale, then up, then do a shift so every finger should be up at least 2 frets and repeat.

never heard of it, but a quick google search and you'll see for sure from reviews. BC Rich is my favorite, sure they look death metal for most but they are very unique and everyone (big rockstars) have played them.

To the best of my knowledge, Rockburn is just a name slapped onto a Student model Chinese made guitar. Rockburn also sells and distribute drums and other musical instruments. Being a student type guitar the manufacturing process is as much quality as any and since most mfgs are using CNC machines to cut and produce them quickly. So the machining may be nice, but the question lies in the wood used, gluing electronics, hardware and paint. These would be the areas to skimp.

However, as a beginner/student why go pay for a guitar that you may never keep interest in or plain give up. If you accomplish the desire of playing, once your skills improve, go treat yourself to a step up. Many next step guitar companies have affordable lines to choose from. Like Fender, Dean, Gibson, Epiphone, Jay Turser and on and on.

Be realistic in you first guitar purchase and don't spent money unnecessarily.

Have confidence in you skills to constantly improve and be an Artist!

Wah is an affect usually obtained through the use of a pedal that literally makes the guitar make a 'wah' sound every time a note or chord is played, and when used properly can sound very cool.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A whammy bar temporarily decreases tension on the strings which creates a different type of vibrato, basically in reverse, again when used properly can make a variety of cool noises.

The tremolo as it is well know does have a whammy bar on it. This is how the guitarist controls it. All tremolo's are spring loaded. This allows the trem to either pull the strings tighter( higher pitch) or back off(lowers the pitch) them. The wah pedal is a totally different effect. Where as the whammy controls pitch the wah controls tone. The wah was accidentally invented and was said to make a guitar talk like a human.

==================================================

The previous answer is very misleading.

First of all, while some people have referred to the arm on the bridge of certain guitars as a "tremolo bar" or the entire bridge as a "tremolo bridge", that is incorrect.

Tremolo describes fluctuations in volume, such as when a guitarist plays a note or chord and then turns the volume knob up and down quickly, creating a pulsing effect.

The correct term for that bridge on Fender Stratocasters and many "superstrat"-type guitars is vibrato. That bridge allows the guitarist to change the tension of the strings while playing, altering pitch -- which is what vibrato is. That's why when a guitarist pulls and releases the strings on a guitar, that is also called vibrato.

Now, when you say "whammy", it can refer to a "whammy bar" (a colloquialism referring to a guitar's vibrato bar), or it can refer to the DigiTech Whammy effect pedal, which does more extreme versions of pitch-shifting, such as full octaves (eg. U2's "Even Better than the Real Thing", The White Stripes' "Seven Nation Army").

A wah pedal does not alter pitch. It alters the EQ (treble/mid/bass) content of the sound, the "tone". It's still the same note, only now it has a different timbre because you might be emphasizing the low frequencies rather than the high, or vice versa. A whammy effect changes pitch. These two effects are not interchangeable.

A signed Fender Standard Series Stratocaster became the world's most expensive guitar, fetching a massive $2.8 million at auction in Doha, Qatar. Auctioned to aid victims of the 2004 tsunami disaster, the guitar broke the previous record held by Eric Clapton's $959,500.00 black strat.

The original bass guitar was developed by Paul Tutmarc in the 1930s as a replacement for the double bass, but he received little success for the invention. In the 1950s Leo Fender (who, obviously, is the man who started Fender) took the idea and introduced the first mass-produced bass guitar on the market, the Precision bass. This was hugely popular and since then bass guitars have become the norm in all bands, and variations upon the Precision are still made and extremely popular.

No, a stop bar and a whammy bar are two different things therefore you cannot replace a stop bar with a whammy bar. It woluld make the sound a whole different tune.
