Can you translate what you hear in your head onto the guitar? That would be a real milestone.

But, its easier to make a rhythm first and try to write lyrics around them.

haha...right. That will be a major milestone. Hope to be able to do that by the end of 2015 or before.

But I am quite sure that I am getting better at music and guitar.

You could also try to hum a tune and try to find the chords around it. You could add lyrics later.

^^That's still a long way for me.

Barre chords. Any advice ?

First learn to hold strings with the index finger without the rest of the fingers. At least try to make sure all the strings are getting fretted, if not at least the top 2 and the bottom 2. Adjust your finger till you find a position that you are comfortable with and are sure that all strings are getting fretted. Strum slowly to find which strings sound damp and adjust your finger till you find what works for you. After this proceed to hold the rest of the fingers.

That is an awesome guitar. I used to own that one before my current guitar. It stood a lot of punishment and could play everything I threw at it.
My amp is a Peavey :(

Can't stand the stupidity of guys in music shops.I asked for .054 guitar strings for low tuning and the guy says that super light strings (.050) are best for low tuning :facepalm: I said that he is WRONG.he got no fact to backup.
There was another dumb girl who came to repair violin kept telling me that heavy /medium strings are hard to play;whatever,all I asked was medium/heavy strings for low tuning,seemed like she wanted to show off that she is the master.
Then she asked me if the strings are 440 :lol:
I asked "440 what?" Frequency?
Silence.

Bunch of "know all" douchebags.

^^heavy/medium are hard to play indeed, relatively.

Yes I knew it.its simple .thicker the string hard to play. less slack for low tuning,anyways thats better than asking if strings are 440.
What I meant was if I don't know about something I would be modest about it ,what is the relation between 440 and low tuning ,do I need to care about 440 or guage for low tuning

I also have very bad experience from 3 music shops in my place.will post at night

This is why I buy stuff online whenever I can. No d-bags to deal with. If I have to go to shop I ask for the exact thing I want and walk out if they don't have it.

Furtados is expensive as hell. There is a shop on MG road, I don't remember the name. Let me check and see.

Yeah. I posted this on Reddit sometime back: Looks for guitar gear in Pune. : pune

You can also get gear from Bajaao.com if you want.
