About guitar of course... :rolleyes:

I started to play guitar about 6 months ago, but I never took lesson (hey, don't have money ! :eek: ), so I have a few question about fingering.
I think the answer would be "do as you like", but here are the questions anyway :

About this part (Well, I can't play this part, but I never know how I have to do when there's several times the same note again and again) :

Kissing the Shadows

D||--15-12----------------------------12-15----------------19~---||
A||--------12----------------------12-------17----------17-------||
F||-----------12----------------12-------------16----16----------||
C||--------------14----------14-------------------17-------------||
G||-----------------14----14-------------------------------------||
D||--------------------12----------------------------------------||


-----4--1--1--1--3--3--1--3--3--1--1--1--???

-----4--1--2--1--3--4--1--4--3--1--2--1--???


Which one is the right fingering ? (And if someone could finish it, after the 3 "?", it would be cool... :D

Here's another one :

-4--1--2--3--2--1--4--1--2--3--2--1--4--1--2--3--2--1--4--
-4--1--2--3--2--1--4--1--2--2--2--2--4--1--2--3--2--1--?--
 
I'd say.....
-----4--1--1--1--3--3--1--3--3--1--1--1-s-1--3--2--3--2--3--4

for the first one. The "s" is for a slide up to make the next bit easier. Of course, it's also possible to play it all in a completely different position.

The main thing is that you stick with one way of doing it, and just keep practicing till you can do it in your sleep:)

As for the other tabs, from what I can see they're all pretty standard 3 string sweeps, so try to use one finger per *fret* (not string, these aren't chords), hit any notes which are a stretch with your 4th finger, and move your hand up and down the neck for similar shapes in different positions.

just quickly, I'd play that last one
-4--1--2--1--2--1--4--1--1--1--1--1--4--1--2--1--2--1-s-1--

although that last note is probably a pinch harmonic or a tap.
 
You should do this instead for the top one I'm thinking. It will probably be alot easier. It should be the exact same thing unless I fucked something up.
