Good man!

Coming on rightly Shawn.

Maybe it was death watch beetle after all and his did fall down.

Welcome to the forum!

I got confused and watch an old episode of "Crossroads" at midnight. I couldn't understand how Benny and Miss Diane were going to teach me how to play guitar.

With those three chords you could have a go at Peggy Sue, by Buddy Holly - First song I ever learned on guitar, over 30 years ago.

Get yourself down to the local Cash Converters. There's bound to be at least one in there that you can try.

Crikey, I'd forgotten all about that. I remember the gig, but forgot about doing my hair. As for yours, I think you would have to pay a visit to Elliott's

It doesn't look angry with you; just disappointed

This sounds like a cool idea. I don't think my abilities would be up to scratch enough to be of use to you, though, but good luck with it.

Welcome Martin!

I've never played one (not sure I've ever even touched one), so that was a bit tongue in cheek, but I have seen comments on their QC. Still, I imagine that they produce excellent guitars in general.

When I read comments about Gibson quality control, I think you could say that not all guitars are good now, even the expensive ones.

I forgot to mention, check out Justin Guitar. He does excellent tutorial videos. He is a right handed player, but a while ago he tried learning left handed, to give him an insight into what his students go through. He put up the videos on his YouTube channel. Another easy one to learn is "Peggy Sue" by Buddy Holly - 3 chords, A, D and E

Welcome YnJ

Check out Louie Shelton's fretboard?.

Hey Mia! Tell us a bit more about yourself. What do you play? What do you listen to?

Check this out. I would also advise you to invest in a physical tuner. You can get them quite cheaply.

That's not an A chord, I'm afraid. You can play an A major barre chord by fretting all six strings at the fifth fret with your index finger and at the same time finger the sixth fret on the G string and the seventh fret on the A and D strings. Or you can play an open A chord by fingering the second fret on the B, G and D strings and playing them along with the open A string.

It sounds like the E and A strings are tuned to the same note. Do you have a tuner?

Many happy returns.

I've never played one, but did see a review on YouTube (40 Cycle Hum, I think it was). I get the impression that they are in the same league as Harley Benton, Donner, some Squier.

Welcome @Backonthehorse Unfortunately, I can't offer any advice about multi-effect pedals, as I know bugger all about them, but I'm sure someone else will.

Well, today was the big day and she loved the guitar (though she seemed to be more excited by the Batman car Lego set ). The guitar looks great and the pale blue colour goes really well with the vintage look of the Mooer amp. The only flaw I can see with it is a slight gap in the neck pocket, on the top side, but it doesn't affect the playability and she'll not notice it. The amp is great fun. It has chorus, delay, reverb, flanger and vibrato. She loved the sound of the flanger. It sounds good too. There are clean, overdrive and high gain presets (plus bass and acoustic) and a bunch of amp models.

I'm not sure if it would be available to you in Iran, but you could also look at the Mooer Hornet 15W amp. It would be cheaper than the Roland. There are a few different models of the Hornet, each with different amp models. The white one, for example, would be better suited to blues guitar, whereas the black one is aimed more at the heavy metal player. It also has a built in tuner, 3 modulation effects, 3 delay and 3 reverb effects.
