Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

I'm a guitarist, AMA.

Have been for 6 years.

I've come to a point where I don't know what songs to learn anymore. I tend to flick through my iPod and use the guitar tabs app.

Can you play "Through The Fire and Flames" on Guitar Hero III? That's the most important question.

Why did you learn it? Just wanted a hobbie other than football and I'm a massive rock music fan :smile:

Whats your favourite song to play? Plush - Stone Temple Pilots, the acoustic version.

Who is your favourite guitarist? Between Santana and Hendrix

Whats one thing most ppl dont know about guitars/being a guitarist?We don't all play to pick up girls and it takes time to learn.

How many guitars do you have? (in total or atm) Got my Fender acoustic that I use the most, then my first electric guitar (a second hand Ibanez).

Best aspect of playing the guitar? Learning a song fully and being able to play it the way you want.

Worst aspect of playing the guitar? Fingers hurting from fingering... I mean playing too much. Hand hurts too with more complicated chords.

See yourself with a carrer in it? teaching others maybe? Probably not a career, but I'm open to teaching definitely.

Whyd you choose dodgy pirate btw? Pirates of the Caribbean? Was my old Xbox GT, and I like Pirate history and folklore!

It takes time, patience and practise. Don't give up now.

Marty Schwartz on YouTube helped me out a lot with picking, strumming and chords/tabs.

Are you playing electric or acoustic?

Best thing to do right now is learn the basic chords.

Just butting in... I came across this question quite a few times too, if I can play wonder wall… I said 'maybe'.

I played in a talent show at school and that happened... the low E string. I kept playing. It was pretty embarrassing though as you can imagine.

I haven't broken a leg yet, so I don't really know.
