What are the letter names of your strings, bottom to top, please?

Thanks!

That's another matter! Lol need to get it back from my uncle, borrowed it for some new design in wood??

Do you know the names of at least some of the strings? That's important, you know...

The books didn't help me. My advice would be to pick it up and learn the way you would like to play it first of all.. take one string and try to figure out how to play twinkle twinkle or something simple. Then after you feel comfortable. Try hitting up youtube.com and see if you can follow some of the finger arrangements (aka chords) of some of your less complicated songs. "Knocking on heavens door " was an easy one for me at first. Keep the momentum up, for your fingers will take a brutal beating from an acoustic! Ha

Hi again, ironclad04!

How are you doing with this, please?

Thanks!

Using an acoustic guitar would be easier for a beginner player.

I have been trying to play guitar for a bit. You should probably start with a learning guitar book.

NOTE: It helps to start on another string instrament (violin, viola, chello, double bass)
