Ok I'm really new to the guitar world and what to have. I bought a Epiphone Les Paul Goth Edition, Korg GA-30 tuner, and a Line 6 15w Spider III. Ive been playing about 2-3 hours a week and loving all the stuff Ive been learning. I must add that I learned more in 1 week on Guitar Tricks On-line lessons than reading a beginner lessons book a whole month.

Well here is the things that I've noticing lately, and from your all feedback I'll run down to The Musicians Friends warehouse down the street from me and stock up a little on things.

I don't know to much about picks, but I have learned you cant use the same one forever. Should I move up a size to lose the flimsiness or just get 46mm Ive been using.

Next thing I'm gonna tell you, your gonna laugh. I'm using the strap off my Guitar Hero game from my XBOX 360. Its starting to hurt just a bit!!!! Need a new one quick hehehe!

I also would like to maybe update my strings I sure the stock ones aren't the best to be using. seems like my 5th and 6th string rattle on some frets when I have it open. Hope that not a real bad thing.

So maybe you all can tell me what would be best to pick up, and things I might need for the future. Money is no thing, but I don't wanna go drop a load of money on expert stuff that I'm not ready for yet if you know what I mean. I know I know laugh it up hehehe.

Thanks,
Charles W
