Guitar tips you wish you knew when you started playing

[R_of_G]

+1

There are a great many sounds to get out the guitar without involving the strings.

Conversely, sometimes noise is exactly what the situation calls for. Not every solo needs to be a means of forward propulsion in a predictable arc. It's all in how the player approaches the noise.
