Guitar Discussion V10 - February 2013 edition - General

[QUOTE=Rapist;43028001]Jeez, I've been playing for almost 5 months now, feels like no time at all :v: [editline]30th November 2013[/editline] I remember there was an image of songs you can't play in music stores, does anyone have that? :v:[/QUOTE] I think it said something about no Metallica songs.

And definitely no stairway to heaven :v:

I always forget to play stairway in music stores :v

[QUOTE=cpt.armadillo;43035366]I always forget to play stairway in music stores :v[/QUOTE] Just rewrite the song to sound as sad as possible and call it Staircase to Hell.

[QUOTE=Grindigo;43035766]Just rewrite the song to sound as sad as possible and call it Staircase to Hell.[/QUOTE] this must be done

[QUOTE=Franke_R!?;43026988]I haven't changed my bass strings in more than 18 months and they still sound fine, perhaps I should get around to it sometime. [editline]awd[/editline] I haven't changed my acoustic bass strings in 3 years, oops.[/QUOTE] I had the stock Fender strings on my Squier Precision for about a year and swapped them out for Ernie Ball strings just over a month ago. There was nothing really wrong with the old strings but I thought I should probably change them. I still have the old strings though for the sake of having some spare strings.

Been a while since I've looked around at guitars, but I was quite excited to see Jackson now has a pro series soloist similar to the SL2H that isn't $1800 (or $2500 since the price increase). [img]http://www.guitar-planet.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/SL2-Pro-Series-Soloist-900a.jpg[/img]

I am working so hard to get my DSL it's not even fun. Endless phone calls to customer support, and little progress to show for it. I'm currently about to fax the proof the money is out of my account. Does anyone ever have this kind of trouble with GC?

My GC has been great to me.

Is this worth 200? Gretsch Electromatic Jet Special Guitar, brand new.

Where's it made?

China

I dunno

Since they're $300 new and it ain't, probably $150 on the quickest possible trade you could make and $200-$250 trying to sell it yourself.

Eric Johnson.

What about this Epiphone Les Paul + case for $200? "Basically never used" [IMG]http://images.craigslist.org/00303_hHESYNWn5JP_600x450.jpg[/IMG] It looks like it's this one? [url]http://www.musiciansfriend.com/guitars/epiphone-les-paul-standard-plain-top-electric-guitar[/url]

It's not the Special, so it should be pretty nice, especially for $200

I've seen some bolt on epi pauls that aren't the special. That was confusing for a second

so that's why juggernaut has been taking so long

oh good god i keep playing layla or sunshine of your love as my go to riffs, I need more things like that to overplay :v:

Led Zeppelin - Tea For One It's a p nice riff I think. or Hammerhead by Jeff Beck

No guitar deserves such a thing

Periphery posted a picture of a Dolan Periphery shirt. It was scary.

Misha is hella immature. [editline]awd[/editline] His humour at least.
