What tools should every guitarist have? It would be nice to have a string winder that can be attached to an electric screwdriver... |

What is the (Practical) theory behind applying chords for a Song? The middle section in your answer has some helpful advice in it, and I would recommend franklins to look into that, combined with the answers from Alex Basson (good theory on chord progression) and todd (great overview of the chords). |

What is the difference between a “Riff” and a “Melody”? I did do a quick google search, and I didn't find anything that specifically points out the differences between melody and riff. I found a lot on what a riff is, but not the characteristics of what tells apart riff and melody. You could do a thorough and time consuming research on what the differences are, or ask it here - maybe someone just knows... |

How To Improve My Sightreading? You say Same as you'd know which notes were C's on the piano's keyboard. It's NOT the same! On the piano, you only need to learn it in one octave, and the pattern repeats itself visually related to the groups of 2 and 3 black keys. On the guitar frets, it is no such visual pattern to help you. |

How do I improve my picking and fretting speed? I looked at the link, and found a quick guide to the main consepts, which looked useful, even without having the program - just read the tips and techniques on this page: guitarspeed.com/gst/method.asp. Instead of using the program, I would say you would get far by following this guide, and use a metronome to help pick up speed. |

How do I improve my picking and fretting speed? He is asking how to play fast, which is a different style than expressive. You wouldn't say "play blues instead - it's easier" to a person who asks you how to play classical music better. |

Changing the strings: one by one, or by taking all strings off at one time? It's just an old husband's tale that taking off all the strings will injure the neck or any other part of the instrument - see this FAQ referenced by Bill Cheatham in his answer |
