GUEST,Singout the first chord you played on your guitar (71* d) RE: the first chord you played on your guitar 29 Sep 01

I logged on today to ask a couple of guitar questions as at age 54, after telling myself for years I could never learn to play the guitar, I'm teaching myself to play!

D7, C, G, & G7 were my first cords. It still takes me awhile to get the fingers in position for the G.

I have the same problem as IanB, and was going to ask--Why does the C sound flat and dull? I've tried holding my fingers every which way.

Also, can anyone tell me why does using a pick on metal strings sound so bad? The plastic striking metal is certainly louder, but not pleasant. Would I be better off with plastic strings?

Thanks. Penny
