sorry, but you offended me with your little comment about the sum 41 thing. i KNOW that they are just a bitchy little poppy "punk" band but i just want you to know that i just felt like playing the guitar after seeing people playing guitar.
ok, now that i said that, let me continue. what do you mean by "hand tapping"? i also dont just pick up the guitar and just immediately start playing. ive been taking the time to learn what note im playing and all that, so dont think im some damned wannabe ****head 14 year old. oh, plus my fingers are getting used to the torture i put them through.
anyway, i dont mean to be vulgar thats just the way it is. thanks for helping me out a bit.

ps. i still am wondering if i need a distortion pedal to get the right sound for punk music and what are the good pedals to get.

by the way, belgian beer sucks, unless youre drinking someting i dont know about
