So im learning the guitar.

[Taz]

I'm starting to learn the guitar in my school
It's pretty fun to be honest but kinda hard.
I'ma start off with this song YouTube - The Fall of Troy - Single(Studio) i got the first thing down.
When my teacher lets me hold the guitar i'ma practice more and maybe show me playing on video

Play Hendrix style.

Turn a lefty guitar upside down, and restring it for a right handed playing.

Hrmmmm, oke doke.
I just like the sound that Hendrix's stratocaster had, very unique.

Hendrix's sound flows more from his background, playing style, and use of primitive effect pedals and holes he punched in his amp's screen.

Honestly, you shouldn't play any one's style. You should take tricks and philosophies from everywhere and make your own.
Good song to start with. IF you want to pick up some stuff quickly go look at Smoke On The Water, early Stones' and Beatles' songs, and Black Sabbath's first two albums.

[Supra]

I haven't listened to smoke on the water in so long, lol. Learn jumper

This is a really good blues riff I like to use. You can be as creative as you want with it. Go back and forth, up and down, pull the string here and there, it's great.

sorry if it's written shitty. But yeah, you can do that, and pull (or wobble) the string on the 2nd 3--5--6 to bring it to a higher note and give it a really bluesy feel. Be as creative as you want with it. You can go up and down anywhere and it'll still sound good.
And don't be afraid to play with Hammer ons

[Hater]

Your going to end up hating it.... Sorry but ture shit.
Its all fun at the begging of playing the guitar, but it get intense!

Rai, that'd be the blues scale or the pentatonic scale with a blues note and an A, which would be the mixing of a note for the pentatonic G major scale into the minor. All and all and excellent idea, especially if you sequence it. Its worth noting that you can move that shape any where on the guitar neck and whatever note/fret you start on is going to determine the Key of the scale. As I stated at the 3rd fret we're in G.
@Hater: you only hate it if you never get better

I'm starting off easy i'm trying to learn the chords.
I know G, E, A minor and stuff like that.

Awesome. Ask about Barre chords, power chords, and learn the notes in order and where they are on the guitar and you'll be on your way.

I'll see what i can do but im going to take it slow.

I'm suggesting them to you because the are "easier" to play that open chords and you'll be able to play more with them sooner because you have to learn one thing rather than several, at least in the case of the chords.
Still its important that you learn how you want to.

Primitive or not, Hendrix was the best.
