Just use the index finger as an anchor point when changing chords, and it slides back I fret as you change to E.

Check out beginner lessons @ JustinGuitar.com

Which fingers are you using on which string? I play...
middle on the D string
Index on the G string
Ring on the B string

This fretting allows easier change to both E & D chords

It took me a...

Love the mirror idea.

Best way to get the fingers right is to start very slowly & deliberate in your finger placing. This will build muscle memory, then you speed it up gradually and you fingers...

Looks like I fell into the minority by accident.

Admittedly, I was saving for a great guitar when my amp became unreliable.

I have a $200 strat copy with Seymour Duncan Humbucker and a Peavey...

Just practice exercises, ensuring your thumb is lined up behind your middle finger.

On any string, any fret
Index 1, middle 2, ring 3, pinky 4

Play
1,2,3,4; 1,2,4,3; 1,3,2,4;
1,3,4,2;...

I didn't make the free cut, so I purchased some from the web site.

They turned up very quickly and while a bit pricy for pics certainly don't break the bank.

The pack comes with three...

Practice little & often.

Cool, I'll give em a few days and play the eq game. I'm usually driving through a Seymour Duncan Distirtion humbucker

I have just replaced my 3 month old Ernie Ball Power Slinkies with a set to Ernie Ball Cobalt Power Slinkies.

In essence the same string, aside from the outer material. They are brighter then the...

Forgot so say new they are a bit pricy, but you may find then used, or just change one at a time as you can afford it. That's what I'm doing

I'm a fan of the Seymour Duncan rail collection. With hot rails, cool rails & vintage rails you would have an awesome array of sounds.

These are humbuckers that fit in a single slot and come with...

Looks good. I'd crop a bit left of the stand so the stand & hi-hat frame the drummer more

I'm about due, got a set of cobalts to try next

This is the wiring diagram used for the push pull tone control. And info on why it has little effect appreciated.

Project is done and semi complete for now ;-)

Was a bit tight getting the wires in the space allowed, what with the extra caps and DPDT switches.

The sound is very similar to before, but...

Once I get it together ill let you know where the range is

Your quite right, I wanted CTS, but ended up getting Bourns

I did run into a few unexpected issues;

The body has two cut outs for the switches, one where 5 way goes and another where the pots go. The pots cut out was shallower than the sector hole, and...

Despite the heat I got a few bits done today.

All pickups are now wired to the new 5 way Fender switch. From switch new wire rinds to the new volume & tone pots. Both pots are CTS push pull 500k...

The inside didn't look too pretty...http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/03/09/ujebehe8.jpg

Ok so 8 months have passed and the story changed. My wife was made redundant last year, and any thoughts of new guitars & upgrades went out the window.

Now she is back at work I can start saving...

Controls are relatively straight forward.

3 Channels, each with gain, channel volume and a "tone" switch (bright for the clean channel, scoop on each od channel)
One tone section for clean...

The short is in the guitar jack socket. I get signal from the pos (+) wire out of the guitar to both inner and outer casing of the jack socket simultaneously. Same for the neg wire. Either I screwed...

My output jack socket was loose and the cable kept dropping out. The movement was also affecting sound quality, so I purchased a new jack.

I wanted a Switchcraft gold long body version, but my...

BMX & dirtbike. Nothing else was important for a long time. Took up drums at 16 but never learned properly.

Took up guitar at 38, still learning two years later. It's not that you can't teach an...
