Incidentally there are apps for mobile, many free ones, showing chord patterns and scales for guitar.
You can hear the chord as it sounds played too.
Guitar Lessons, Blues Lessons, Solo Lessons
Jam Box,
Chord! Free.
Handy if you want to learn more chords and the names of them, and very portable for when you want to sit in the garden and strum, or wherever you happen to be with a guitar. Of course it'll help you tune the guitar as well.

Guitar and voice. Bit of ukulele. Delusions of harmonica.
Mainly a Johnson folk acoustic and an Epiphone semi-acoustic.
Would like to learn piano - youngest is making rapid strides currently.

don't ever be apologetic about where yer guitar's made - If it's good, it's good. I'm old enough to remember some of the shite Fender usa were serving up, pre tokai/squier/fender japan

I have changed this
I used to have a very good Japanese Les Paul copy a long time ago. Finally got rid of it when it needed refretting. I gave it away to a mate who though it was worth doing.
I now have a Fender Strat which I brought to Cyprus with me when I moved. I wouldn't claim ro be any good though. I can also play keyboard, but don't have one atm, and I played trombone when I was at school.

I play a lot of Heavy Metal, so naturally I have guitars to suit, I have an old Les Paul copy but its been tinkered with to get a higher gain from the Pups, its strung with 11 gauge strings and when put through my Overdrive and Reverb pedals, produces a fantastic sound, it just looks abused.
I also have a Dean ML Phantom fitted with EMG 81/85 pups and a floyd rose, its a monster.

Stop perpetuating the stereotype.
Drives me mental when people, especially fellow bass players, write the instrument off as "an easier guitar". It's not. I'll admit it's easier to pick up and churn out a dull root note bass line but to actually play the damn thing well it requires just as much skill as any other instrument.

Well said.
I've just ordered a Harpejji. It's a real unique hand made instrument. Mine is going to take 97 days to build. I'm also going to be the sole demo person for the UK when I receive it so if anyone is intetested just PM me.
Because I haven't posted enough yet I cannot add links here but just go to Marcodi dot com or type harpejji into Youtube to see what it's all about.

But if I try to explain that I am also musically talented, I just get shouted down by an arrogant guitarist and a crazed drummer (who incidentally believes that he is god's gift to music)...I play mainly metal-ish stuff, which is very hard...the musical area which requires the least effort and talent is singing...

Okay, I have watched about an hour or more about this instrument, and particularly like the Dido video that features one (highly).
For my ear, the more effective use of it is in application for very ambient sustained sound.
What I would like to ask you when you try it out, is how does it beat using a guitar (I know the answer to this, because you can have two hands...or more! ...playing the same instrument....but is this effective?)
When compared to, say, a clavinet or synth, can it stand out on its' own as an instrument that deserves a place in a band?
I am thinking that a keyboard with a range of sounds can envelop all that a Harpejji has to offer. Could this be correct?
Could it be applied in an orchestra?
Is this instrument very different from the Chapman Stick?
Is it simpler to learn and play than instruments it could take the place of?
I imagine you might have a checklist that's more comprehensive than that, but I'm interested to know what you think about it anyway.

I have a Fender Strat and an Epiphone. Been playing for 3 years now and love it. Both played thru my Marshall Amp. Great feeling when your teenage kids ask you to turn your music down!!
