I always thought the idea of the guitar was to see how fast you could snap the neck, honestly

i got a question for anybody that can answer. I'm learning to read music, and I've gotten to "slurs". For a slur do you just do a hammer-on/pull-of type deal?

ok... so I changed strings last night.. Went from mediums to lights.. seems to be much better.. maybe I just couldn't get used to the mediums. The whole time I had them on there, I was like, WOW, that's different.. Anyway, I'm gonna just let it go unless I start having real problems.

how do you find out the key of a song? just try to play along and see what sounds right?
For us living any other ways was nuts. with all the goodie-goodies working shitty jobs for bum pay checks, took the subway work and worried about their bills were dead. they were suckers, they had no balls. if we wanted something we just took it, and if anybody complained twice they got hit so hard believe me they never complained again

you have to look at the chord progression, certain progressions fit within certain keys
