So, I've borrowed it from him thinking I'll try my hand at it. Does anyone have a good site to begin the basics on? I have absolutely no known musical abilities, so it has to be pretty simple stuff.

There you find pretty decent chords from over 800.000 songs. http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/ Once you start controlling the music that comes out of your guitar, it's just wonderful! Time does fly a bit while playing though... rOZZ Music Pictures ID: 1455516 ·

Here is my Fender Strat serial number E736805 made in Japan 1984-1987. Some say the Japanese models have a better tone the the US made ones. Do they call the Japanese ones Fender Karaoke?

Hint: Karaoke is jokingly known to mean "tone deaf", though that is not strictly true. I hear that once a joke goes over your head, when it finally comes back and smacks you in the back of the head it can cause whiplash. ID: 1479630 ·
