Hi! I actually have 3 Questions:
What is the Guitar capo used for?
When do you know when to use it in a song?
Do Electric Guitars Use Capos?
I’ve never seen a Electric guitar with a capo.

A capo is used to change (raise) the key of your open chords.

A capo is most commonly used by guitar players that aren’t good at barre chords, or for guitar riffs that require open strings in a key other than where open strings are available.
(In a barre chord you use your fore-finger as a capo)

A capo can be used on an electric as well. Even though it’s electric, it’s still a guitar (same rules). Most famous people you see performing with electric guitars know barre chords and don’t need a capo.

I am looking into possibly persuading my grandfather into buying me a violin for Christmas so I can start pursuing lessons. I played for about nine months when I was nine years old (I am seventeen now).

I really want a Violin that is either an electric one or aelectroscopicc. I’m really not interested in a plain acoustic violin though.

I have seen some violins that look interesting, and I love the idea of an orange electric violin. I am open to suggestions though.

Thank you!

Nine months is long enough for basics, but it is good that you want to pursue the skill to play.
I’ve played since 6th grade, and I’m a freshman now. My violin is a Antonio Stradivarius copy.
The thing is… it’s better if you learned more about to violin with a acoustic violin, not an electric. Electric is more of a professional instrument, used for live concerts, bands, etc.
I’m not sure what brands there are, but if you do decide to just go ahead and buy it, then…. choose one with nice sound quality, material and something that is a reasonable price. Higher price doesn’t mean better quality.
Good luck. (:

I’m thinking of buying & learning the sitar, but i need to know a few things,
1. How hard is it to learn if i’m already good on guitar?
2. How much does it usually cost?
3. Do they have any dvd’s for it?
4. Do they have any pickups for it?

Buying a sitar is easy… you can get a playable one for under a thousand bucks. A good reliable source is lark in the morning….look for the website, they have all sorts of exotic instruments. You can easily fit a pickup…but it will have to be an acoustic one, as authentic strings are natural materials, not metal.
The real problem is that to learn to play well will take a long, long time…. classical sitar requires beginning at an early age, practising for many hours a day and…. after 20 or so years, you might turn out to be an adequate player. If all you want is the sound, any decent sythesizer can get you the Sitar sound. For the real thing however, Your experience with the Guitar is irrelevent…. so is any knowlege of western music, as the sitar uses a different scale and different system. It just ain’t for screwing around…

does the Santoor fairness cream make you fair??
how long until i see improvements?

Nature remains the winner always.No cream can do any marvellous change.

Any tunes really that would be cool to play on the Accordion, whether traditional or a pop song! I’ve only got a little 12 bass, 25 key one though so quite limited.

The only thing I can think of is the Hokey Pokey! :0)
