I’m looking for opinions for my grandson’s birthday present this year. He wants pedals. I’m trying to find the right pedals for a 12 year old? Do I go with some individual pedals or a single multi-effects pedal?? If I choose one or the other, which ones should I choose for him?? Opinions please!!!

My video with my Orangewood guitar

When you go into a guitar shop/store, what is your “go to” riff or set of licks to play??? I lose all memory of what to play and how to play it when I am in a public place.

When I read or hear about someone being a Beginner/Intermediate/Advanced level player: Exactly what differentiates one from another?? Is there like a bridge you have to cross or a test you have to take???

Hey Gang! I made the decision to open up the ability to post inside the group to any day of the week, instead of just Friday. I would like to acknowledge @William Gentry who is our new group admin for coming up with the idea of adding more discussion topics/categories. Here are the new categories that you can choose from when writing a post. Its important that you select the appropriate one so that its easier to search for posts in the feed. * General Discussion (already available) - anything not covered by another topic * Giveaways (already available, limited to admin & moderators only) * Announcements (limited to admin & moderators Only) * Guitar Maintenance, Upgrade, & Repair (advice, instructional videos, etc.) * Show & Tell (Show off your guitars, pedalboards, unboxing new gear, videos of you playing, etc.) * Jam Sessions (renamed Jam Session Friday -- requests for meet ups or jam sessions, videos of you/your band practicing or live shows, etc.) * Tips, Tricks, & Techniques (picking, scales, soloing, arpeggios, string skipping, practice routines, etc.) * Reviews (anything that you’ve tried — good or bad — courses, books, videos, YouTube channels, guitars, gear, accessories, offbeat products, etc.) * FAQs (frequently asked questions and classroom guidelines, dos and don'ts) We just ask that you continue to follow the community guidelines and not post anything that goes against them. Our community is all about helping each other, discovering amazing products, and enjoying exclusive rewards. Here’s what to expect and how to make the most out of being here: 📜 Community Guidelines: 1. Be Kind & Respectful – We’re all here to learn and grow. Be kind, courteous, and supportive of others! 2.
