I guess this doesn't have much to do with pc audio, but: I'd like to ask
for a suggestion. I know a few chords on the guitar and I'm gonna try to
follow the Bill Brown course for beginners. I bought an acoustic big
hollow-body guitar and a rummage sale. It's tough to play because the
strings are pretty far off the fret board. I broke the high E string trying
to tune it; so I'm thinking about getting a set of strings. The question:
What sort of strings should I get? Would nylon be a choice; maybe easier on
the fingers for a beginner? Thoughts, please.

Honestly, that's such a personal thing. I'd go in, and handle them.
There are some really cheap guitars that play like crap, there are some
that are cheap that aren't bad. The worst thing to do is to buy
somethikng that's totally crappy and will be hard to play .. seen it with
acustics.
Do you like the sound of a fender, gypson, etc .. that will be a factor.
I would recommend getting medium gage strings .. but the guitars will
already be strung.
Wish I could be of more help, but a guitar is such a personal thing.
My advice is learn acustic first before electric. Honestly, a classical
guitar is the best because once yhou learn it, you'll find playing a
regular guitar and most of all and electric much easier.
Learn your scales, it's cool to jump in and start learning songs, but you
want that foundation. Too many people never sit there and learn those
different scales, and there4's tons of different fingerings.

for someone who has never held one before, but would like to learn to
play.
Is there a favourite Instrument for a new learner, which type of strings

Macc and list: Thank you for your response; I was probably in too
big of a hurry to get the computer back up! Plus, I thought that the
electricity problems were going to be "short-lived!" I didn't
realize what kind of weather we were having at the time! I did get
Winamp re-installed, but now have another problem in that, if I
advance a file by using my arrow keys, if I go too fast, I get a
horrible sound; the sound is such that closing Winamp won't stop it;
the only way to get rid of it is to restart the computer! Also, if
I'm running Winamp at low volume, I can hear a low "hissing" sound! I
know there's something in "preferences" that should fix this!
However I know not where to go to fix it! Tom Kaufman ----- Original

Tom,
Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling Win Ammp? That has
helped me, in the past. If you are having anymore electricity
problems, well, maybe you would want to wait until they subside,
but, give the uninstall/reinstall procedure a try. Of course, you
may have to go back through whatever preferences you have set up, I
think, but, don't quote me on that part <Big Grin>!
HTH,
-Mac-

Problem
Hello list: Late last night I posted a query on Winamp; so far I
have gotten no responses! I can't believe that no one on this list
doesn't know about how to fix this! Be that as it may, I'll
explain this again: last night, our lights flickered while I was
rebooting the computer. I later found afterwards that, whenever I
try to bring up the Winamp player, I get an error message! I tried
restarting the computer..no soap! I also ran "check disk" a while
ago; nothing doing! Can anyone on here tell me what I need to do
to get Winamp to once again work? If updating my Winamp will do
the trick, I'm willing to do that; I just need to know if it's
still as accessible as it has been in the past! Thank you! Tom
