There's a BBC documentary about Jeff Buckley too which is supposed to be good.

was Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jeff Buckley solo artists? I never heard of any of them.
I'm quite new to the whole guitar world, only played for a year, which means i've only really listened to the guitar in the songs for one year...
Downloading Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah now to listen to it, see if I find something with Stevie Ray Vaughan too.
You haven't heard of Stevie Ray Vaughan? he was arguably the best guitarist ever. Defenitely check out some of his stuff. He performed solo with his backing band called Double Trouble.
As for Jeff Buckley, I'm not surprised you haven't heard of him. He only ever released one album before drowning (while working on his second album). He isn't known for his guitar play, it's probably his 8 octave (!!!) vocal reach that he's most well known for (besides song writing), but he is an awesome and very much underrated guitarist.

You can do it the easy way - simple open chords - or the way Jeff did it - with the capo of the 5th fret and playing all the arpeggios and singing at the same time. The solo is kicks major ass too.
I especially like his looooooooooooooooooooong falsetto on the end of the song. What a talent!!!

Yeah!
Out of interest, what strings does everyone use here?
I use 0.11 D'Addario for acoustic. I actually learned the guitar on 0.13 strings which was hard as f*ck but I suppose it made me learn the hard way and every string type I play now is easy as piss.
I was thinking of switching to Elixir strings but they are so damn expensive and some claim there's no real difference between Elixir and D'Addario...

to only have played guitar for a year, and not yet changed strings on my electric guitar, I really don't know which strings I have.
changed the strings on my classic guitar once, can't remember which they where, but they sound better then the once that came with it.though when I'm gonna change the onces on my el.guitar I'm gonne use Ernie Ball (since that's what Kirk uses
)

I know Malakian uses D'Addario strings, and he plays both beautiful melodies and insane riffs on them.......so they should be good.
D'Addario is a great choice indeed: good, reliable and cheap. I have them on my acoustic guitar (.011) and sometimes use them on my electric guitar too.
Currently, though, I have a set of Dean Markley's Blue Steel .011. I like their sound better on my electric guitar but they last less than 6 months (at least with me).

I think that refers to the thickness (in millimeter?) of the strings.
Yeah, it's the thickness of the strings. 0.10 is extra light so it's easy on the fingers, then something like 0.13 is pretty thick and it's harder on the fingers. Although it depends how you want to play the guitar, for instance I've got a guitar that I use to take to the beach, holidays, whatever with me so I use extra light strings (0.10) so I can just play nice and chilled and don't need to work the fretboard too much but for my other nice guitar I use 0.11 gauge strings.
