Get a knife, thrash it across your chest, tear out your heart and beat it against the strings of the guitar!!

oh sorry, I thought you said "with your heart" not "from your heart"

It's just an expression, and is hard to define in words. Basically it just means to put some emotional quality into your playing. Try doing some visualising excercises when you play, imagine your loved one just broke up with you, now try to express how you might feel with your guitar, or imagine you just struck it rich, etc...

Yes welcome to guitar-tricks Chen2xu4sheng1

And no were not all loonies on guitar-tricks.
But they say (Humor is good for the Heart) so they say.
I will say you can learn alot on guitar-tricks.
Also you can learn alot by looking through some of the
old threads&posts on guitar-tricks also.
