how to solder

hey i got a soldering iron for my b-day adn im going to start doing eectrical work on my guitar and stuff and i was wondering if u guys could tell me how to do it and any good links to site's or anything?

Try the http://www.stewmac.com free info. Also www.kinman.com, 21 fretts web site, guitar nuts..Sorry I'm on a computer at work & can't easily get the exact links.

From personal experience...a friend told me 'if you can solder two bits of wire together you're away' Basically AFTER you do all the reading up that's what it comes down to.

Get yourself a little soldering jig or make one using alligator clips & whatever you've got..you really need those third & fourth hands.

Also I found the flat soldering tip (like a conventional screwdriver blade) to be easier to use than the conical tip.

Have fun.

its all about experience...
get some junk stuff that suitable for solderin, and practice with it...

i think u can get the idea about solderin reliable and clean...

I used to soder a little bit as a younger kid. The best advice i have for you melt off a little bit of soder, then put that little chip or ball or whatever on the board or whatever you want to soder. put the wire by it, then just heat up the little ball an it spreads right out over the wire. This may work better for boards, but it may work for guitar parts too.
