Here%26#039;s a decent guitar to start with, from Ibanez:

http://www.guitarcenter.com/Ibanez-V-Ser...





I gave you both the musician%26#039;s friend listing and the guitar center listing. It gets rated fairly high for a guitar in its price range. You%26#039;ll want to add a case; that%26#039;s extra.





That%26#039;s an acoustic electric; you can play it without amplification or if you ever get an amp you can plug it in.





Here%26#039; s a great book to get you started:

Good luck and welcome to the wonderful world of guitar!
Reply:Here%26#039;s what I would recommend because;


you won%26#039;t have to buy an amplifier, you don%26#039;t need to find an electrical outlet, it%26#039;s good quality at acheap price and you can later buy an electric %26amp; amp if you wish and keep this.

Note that it has all you need for an acoustic guitar, solid top , fair tone , playable neck.
Reply:Hey,


Welcome to the world of guitar playing. Ibanez are good guitars, but I recommend a Squire Deluxe Strat. I played one the other day and I was impressed, Squire has a reputation for making cheap guitars, but this particular model strat exceeded my expectations. It%26#039;s available for $250 and with two finish options. Good luck choosing.

WICKED fans Question?

in wicked when they sing No one mourns the Wicked for the firt time.... who do they think is dead? Is it Nessa? I am seeing it on Broadway this summer but so far Ive only heard the songs.
WICKED fans Question?
Elphaba,the Wicked Witch of the West, who is believed to have been melted by the farmgirl Dorothy, whose house landed on Nessarose, the Wicked Witch of the East.





The first lyrics are:


Good news!


She%26#039;s dead!


The witch of the west is dead!


The wickedest witch there ever was


The enemy of all of us here in Oz is dead


Good news!


Good news!





No One Mourns The Wicked is the equivalent to Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead from the Wizard of Oz. The former celebrating the death of Elphaba and the latter the death of Nessa.
WICKED fans Question?
good question....i saw the play a while ago (great play, by the way) and its probably not nessa, since nessa is elphie%26#039;s sister and is alive throughout the musical, so im really not sure? you%26#039;ll just have to find out when you see the play--besides if i knew, you wouldnt want me to ruin anything ! :)
Reply:No, they%26#039;re singing about Elphaba. The beginning of the show takes place after everything has happened with Dorothy and then goes back in time when Glinda starts telling the story of her and Elphaba in school together. At first I thought it was Nessa but then I realized they were singing about the witch of the west, not east.





Have fun seeing the show! I know you will enjoy it. :)
Reply:elphaba. she%26#039;s the wicked witch. nessarose, her sis was dropped on by a house
Reply:They think that Elphaba is dead in the beginning.


When she%26#039;s not really dead. You%26#039;ll see the rest at the end.
Reply:no dont ruin it for ur self
Reply:They are speaking of Elphaba. Elphaba is known as the main Witch. The Wicked Witch of the West.

Does anyone know who LOS Productions is??

cool.





Right back at ya =D

How do I play just the A note with the bow on the violin?

My bow keeps hitting the E note at the same time I try playing an A note. I%26#039;m attempting to teach myself, by the way.
How do I play just the A note with the bow on the violin?
try lifting your elbow a little higher. If you%26#039;re hitting the E string but lightly, it%26#039;s not that big of a deal. Actually my teacher said that an audience will not hear the mistake.
How do I play just the A note with the bow on the violin?
is your bow tightened? (and then you loosen it when you have finished practicising)

Reply:find the right angle i guess, it%26#039;s not noticable once you get used to it. use a light touch, try and mute the strings on each side by lightly touching them with your fingers but not pressing down. this might help you now just to get the feel of it. Practice just bowing the different strings back and forth and changing strings. You might need to give up in frustration and try on different days.
Reply:Practice just long tones on your violin...that means use the whole bow and do it slowly. Look at the bridge while you are playing, that is the best place to watch the angle of your bow. It is true that an audience will not be able to hear that if you are up on stage, but you%26#039;ll be able to hear it and that should be enough motivation for you to want to fix it.

Good bass guitar?

I%26#039;m looking to buy a bass guitar but not sure what one I want yet. Any suggestions for a good 4 string bass that doesn%26#039;t cost a fortune?
Good bass guitar?
get something from fender or if you want a beginners bass get a squier bass.Its good enough, I wouldnt really know about the basses because I play guitar but I have a Squier Affinity Strat. The sound sucked, so I changed the bridge pickup to an active EMG 81. This forced me to disconnect and abandon the other two single-coils, but i dont care about them anyway. Aside from sound, which can be changed, the playability of Squier or Fender is pretty good. THE BEST thing to do is to go to your local guitar shop and try out a few bass guitars and see which one is in your price range and which one you like. Your first/second bass/guitar does not have to be THE ONE AND ONLY PERFECT guitar/bass you%26#039;ve been looking for.

Is David Archuleta participating in the 2008 summer tour?

I%26#039;ve heard from one of my friends that he might not be participating in the tour, she said she saw it on TV. I know it sounds crazy but I just want to comfirm.
Is David Archuleta participating in the 2008 summer tour?
I am not really sure that I have heard anything about him going on tour but if it has anything to do with the crazy dad of his, I think they would rather not invite that kind of trouble. How many people think that man is going to ruin it all for him??
Is David Archuleta participating in the 2008 summer tour?
i read on yahoo like a week ago that he is going to be on the tour still.

How much is a full size acoustic guitar?

A good one is going to cost around $200+.
How much is a full size acoustic guitar?
Guitars range from $300.00 to Donald Trump prices. If you are a beginner, I would suggest the full size-student model-Applause-- usually under 3 bills and a real work horse for those who are not use to handling a high dollar item. Hope this helps.
How much is a full size acoustic guitar?
anywhere from 100 usd to 7,000 usd. YES, you get what you pay for.
