[QUOTE="Janx, post: 6380458, member: 8835"] That's excellent, I'm really happy you're taking to it and enjoying it. Technically, the riff I gave for Smoke on the Water is sloppy to play it on one string. As you learn where the notes are, and why the 5th fret is important (hint: subtract 5 and move to the next skinnier string). Ideally, you can play most notes you need within a 4 fret box*. Which means your hand doesn't need to move down the neck, you just move your fingers to where those same notes are found on other strings within a narrower zone. *for practical usage, this is mostly true. there are exceptions. Let me know when you're ready for another easy-bake riff. 7 Nation Army is ridiculously simple, as is iron man. throw in power chords and you'll feel the rock gods awesome power surge through your fingers and out the tinny amp :) I don't want to overwhelm you with info. You got lessons to work from. When you get to the chords for D, A and G, I have a song you can learn to play...from the About lessons even... :) Keep us posted. I haven't touched my guitars in a while, your new hobby reminds me of the fun I should make time to have. [/QUOTE]
