I spent 4+ hours at bewtween 2 guitar stores today debating whether or not I should get the Ibanwz EW20WE Zebrawood Electric-Acoustic guitar
http://www.guitarcenter.com/Ibanez-EW20ZWE-EXOTIC-WOOD-SERIES-Zebrawood-Acoustic-Electric-Guitar-104302476-i1172985.gc

or the Takamine GS330S acoustic guitar-
http://www.guitarcenter.com/Takamine-GS330S-Acoustic-Guitar-100461893-i1148963.gc

The Takamine is $300 and the Ibanez is $350.
I really like the way the Takamine sounds, but I don't like the fact that it has no cutaway. I think the Ibanez looks really cool and I like how it is an acoustic-electric but it doesn't sound quite as good as the Takamine.

Which one should I buy?
Thanks!

Well, I know I'm probably not "too old" to learn, but I would like to know from people (I am 15 and in high school), if I'd have enough time to devote to learning to play a guitar. I mean, with school and everything else. Thanks in advance.

Encouragement always helps :D

Let's say i'm playing a simple I IV V Progression in C Major.

So C F G. If I throw in the B Dim, it sounds awkward, even though the tension released when hitting C sounds good. After what Chords are the Diminshed best used?

I play a curved bell baritone and I always find myself looking down when I play because the mouthpiece only fits with my mouth when I tilt my head down. What am I doing wrong? When you don't play what postiton are you suppose to hold it.

I have some training in the use of the fabrics already. If I can simply purchase the fabric at my local fabric store, that would be great, but I'm thinking that I'll end up having to purchase the fabric through a company that deals with aerial acrobatics supplies. I just need to know where to find the fabric, and what type it needs to be. Thanks!

I just dropped out of college for violin because I realized I wasnt going to make any money in it but still would love to do it as a serious hobby. My favorite form is quartet, but I have one big problem...I am only one of what should be four. I need a first (or second) violin, a viola, and a cello in Florissant MO area(near stl). If anyone on here would like to join me, or if you know of a better way to look for musicians, please let me know.

Are there any websites online that sell basic accessories like QUALITY cleaning rods, key pad papers, polishing cloths, etc, for the flute?

I especially like the rosewood cleaning rod from Muramatsu (http://muramatsuamerica.com/Accessories.html) but at $25 it's an expensive cleaning rod; same with the $14 wiping cloth. Is there a reliable place that sells high-quality instrumental cleaning rods, cloths, etc, other than wwbw.com?

sigh i feel worthless. ive been getting excited about learning guitar but i just broke a string trying to tune it. i even strung the guitar by myself because everyone was too busy to help me so i taught myself through youtube. i was so proud when i finally strung it. but then i couldnt tune it so i bought a $20 tuner with the money i was saving up to spend for my girlfriend. then i came home today and was all excited so i could learn how to play and then play hey there delilah for my girlfriend. but then i overtuned a string and it broke....

so now i feel like a piece because i havent even begun yet and i already broke a string. when i was tuning it, i was playing the low e string but for some reason it said g, so i just tuned it until the electronic line lined up in the center. then i went to the next string below it and tried tuning it, but then the string broke because i think i went too far. so does anyone know if my tuner was messed up? anyone bin thru something like this? than

I have been playing the clarinet for about 4 1/2 years now and i've been using the same clarinet >__> because I was not allowed to purchase a new one. Now my parents will let me buy a new clarinet but I don't know how to choose one. Which clarinet brands give smooth tones and are better and easier to play with? My friends have told me that Buffet Clarinets are pretty good but I don't know which model to get...XP.

Ok so I want to start playing guitar. Excuse me if I sound stupid or ask any stupid questions but I am 100% new. I dont even have guitar yet. I just decided I love rock and music and I want to stat playing guitar. So I dont get what type of guitars are there. I dont want to start playing like country or heavy metal music. I want to start playing guitar and playing and learning good rock songs like the red hot chili peppers or guns and roses like that kind of guitar playing. What kind of guitar would I need? Also how long would it take till i start learning it and getting into it and learning how to play any notes? Should i get a guitar teacher to start me off then i go my own ways or should i always have a guitar teacher and get lessons every week or so. I want to make it a hobby not my life by the way.
