Re: Strings vibrating
There won't be enough tension on the neck when you have strings missing. There's no point worrying about action and buzz until you have all the strings tuned and intonated.

That will do it. For future reference, there's little point in evaluating (or trying to adjust) a guitar that doesn't have a full set of strings that are properly tuned. The neck will be under much less tension when it isn't fully dressed.
And if you hear a buzz, always check for loose hardware before you get into any heavy surgery. (Especially in the bridge.)

Sweet dude! Keep at it. We all started somewhere.
I think the first thing I learned was the main riff in "Whole Lotta Love"

Definitely pay someone who knows what they're doing to teach you. Learning by ear is fun and all, but if I had the last 25 years to do over again, knowing what I know now, I'd scrounge up the cash to pay for lessons, at least to get me started.
However, spending the summer of '86 with We Sold Our Soul For Rock-N-Roll, Number Of The Beast, Point Of Entry, British Steel, Shout At The Devil, Moving Pictures, and You Can't Stop Rock And Roll, wasn't a total waste.
Also buy the Guitar magazines. If not for the songs, for the lessons. And follow them.
Don't trust all the internet tabs you find - half those jokers wouldn't know an F# from their ass.
And for the luvva mike, avoid anything with the name Mel Bay on it.

Welcome to the Forum.... it's a pretty cool spot. hang listen, learn. We all do!
How old are you & how long have you been playing? Are you taking lessons? What kind of guitar/amp are you playing? Curious minds need to know!
