How do you play a B/Am Chord on guitar?
I would say cait's answer is correct.Basically it's an A min with a B note played on the bottom.Playing it this way(open position) creates whats called a minor 9th interval (B note "clashing" with the high C note)which gives it that kind of unstable dark eerie "minor feel".

Am I too old to learn to play the guitar?
15 is always a good time to start playing. You should know in advance why you want to learn though. Is it really what you want to do, or is it just something that seems popular? If you want to start playing just because everyone else does you'll never get anywhere with it. You may as well not waste your time and money. On the other hand, if you really want to go somewhere with it you should practice a lot, and don't go cheap when buying your equipment. A bad set of equipment can take all the fun out of learning to play an instrument. When buying equipment, check out a few bands that you like. What equipment do they use? Do they tend to use Marshall amps? Do they use heavy or light guitars? These all affect your sound, making it easier or harder to learn. Lastly, make sure you use good strings. Old strings make for dull tone, making playing guitar BORING. Fresh new strings make it easier to hear the note, which helps for learning to tell sounds apart. They tend to last about a month. (Most rock guitarists use Ernie Ball)
How do i play an octave higher on the guitar?
I am a beginner on the guitar and enjoy playing random chords to pass the time. I know chords like main staff E and B and A but would like to jump a higher octave on the B and A. I have heard as of this morning that I should be able to jump an Octave by moving towards the body 12 frets because of the fact that each fret is one half step and one octave consists of 12 steps. Is that logic correct?
How to play minor chords on bass guitar?
The difference between a major and minor chord is what's going on with the third. Major = 1-3-5 Minor = 1-3b-5 I think you already understand this because you mentioned the flatted 3rd in your question. What this means is that as long as you're playing the 1 & 5 (A & E) your bass will "fit" with either A or Am. The vocalist and other instruments can do what they want, and you'll be okay just holding a steady 1-5 pattern. If you want the bass to "emphasize" that the chord is minor, you can include a flatted 3rd...which in the case of Am is a C note. You might play 1-5 for the G and 3b-1 for the Am. Let's say the chord pattern goes G-G---Am-Am---G-G. Several possible patterns could look like this: G-D-G-D---A-C-C-A---G-D-G-D or G-D-G-D---C-A-C-A---G-D-G-D or G-D-G-D---A-C-A-C---G-D-G-D or G-D-G-D---A-C-A-E---G-D-G-D (adds the 5 note to the Am...1-3-1-5) or G-D-G-D---A-E-A-E---G-D-G-D (ignores the 3b entirely) The bottom line (no pun intended) is that the bass doesn't have to do anything different for a minor chord but if you want to help define it as minor, you can work the flatted 3rd into your pattern.
How do you play music from your phone on a guitar amp?
You don’t use a direct box for that. If your amp has an “aux” input then you need a male 3.5mm to male 3.5mm cable. You connect one end to the headphone out on the phone, and the other end to the aux input on your amp. If your amp doesn’t have an aux input you need one end of the cable to be 1/4″. Easiest way is to still use the 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable and then an adapter like this.3.5mm Stereo Jack to 1/4 Stereo PlugIn this situation you go into the normal input of your amp, like where you would plug in the guitar. Most newer solid state amps do have a aux input now though.
I can play guitar but i am a HORRIBLE singer!?
First off, you should play music because you like to, not to impress other people. As such, how you sound vocally means absolutely nothing as long as the music is there. Second, some of the "best" singers are absolutely terrible (Ozzy is a great example), but because they sing confidently, no one picks them apart for it. If you are just learning to sing with your playing, know that you will constantly evolve you singing style, adding a little bit of rasp or such to make it work for the piece. The more you sing, the more it evolves, the better you sound. As long as you are confident, you will succeed. Third, don't have the attitude of "it's not going anywhere anyways"...play, have fun, and enjoy what you are doing. If it does go somewhere, then you are one of the lucky ones, but if it doesn't, then it doesn't. Lastly, you've only been playing for 7 months. As such, you aren't going to sound like the guys that have been playing for ten, twenty, or thirty years - give yourself a break! On a side note, confidence (not arrogance) will get you almost anywhere in life. From dates, to jobs, to amazing opportunities you would have never had before. Don't sell yourself short for anything.
How to play record player through guitar amp.?
I know what the problem is. The turntable has stereo output, but the guitar amp only has mono input. If you look at a set of headphones, they've got 2 stripes on the plug, the guitar cable only has 1. Thats the difference. You need a way to combine the stereo signal into a mono 1/4" plug signal. You need an adapter of some sort. Stereo to Mono somehow. The very simple way to fix this is to take the turntable into radioshack and they will hook you up with the right adapters you need - it should be about $10. Good Luck, John
