Laneys are gigantic pieces of crap, just putting that out there.

I never said it wasn't, the fact was that he made up bullshit lies and said it was a gibson when clearly it wasn't
It was a $2 LEGEND in which he had blacked out the legend logo, and it was still clearly visible
Oh wow what a day that was
"Check out my gibson man"
"You're not fooling anyone, that's a legend, I can see the logo"
"IT'S GOT A GIBSON NECK"
"I doubt it"
"NO IT DOES"

I was considering the 6 string version for that so.... yes....oh..... baby...
I can record again since whoever it was said to record from the phones out not line out

again my timing is off towards the end but it's not too bad otherwise (also mistake near the end but I realise these problems)
I remember doing a karaoke of that song on a school residential trip when I was 10.
Nicely done!
My mom messed around with my guitar, making it out of tune because the "strings weren't tight enough" :saddowns:
[QUOTE=BassB;28031772]elaborate? i just typed what i generally experience on my guitar.[/QUOTE]
The neck position should sound more mellow than the bridge position, and the bridge position should bite more. I've never played a guitar that works the other way around, if it's possible it would have to have some pretty weird pickups in it.
It's the same with acoustic guitars as well, if you strum near the neck you get a mellower sound and if you strum near the bridge is sounds more metallic and harsh.

Oh dear god detune the fuck out of it RIGHT NOW.
If she over-tightened the strings they are likely to either snap or bow the neck.
If they snap you'll just have to re-string it. If the neck bows you'll need a professional repair, like I did after stringing my Epiphone SG with Ernie Ball "Not-Even-Slinky's" (heavy-bottomed .013's)
Why was your mom screwing with your guitar? Does she play too? If so, she should know not to mess with the strings.

oh.. ehm. that certainly is contradictory with my experience, curious.

Well, this teacher at my school has a guitar which has a neck pickup which bites and a bridge pickup which sounds mellow.
HSS setup.
Maybe it would help if you guys stopped using subjective terminology like "bite."
I understand bridge pickups to be more trebly, have their attacks slightly faster, an in general sound slightly cleaner, whereas neck pickups have a more prominent low end, rounded and more subtle attack, and a slightly muddier/thicker tone.
That's why certain pairings of pickups are semi-standard for "lead" and "rhythm", because the faster attack and cleanness of the bridge are ideal for soloing and lead riffs, whereas the thicker and lower sound of a neck pickup is better suited to harmonizing and chords.
my guitar seems to have it's literature all wrong, it seems to do the opposite of what logic dictates.
What's the guitar/wood/pickups/strings/etc.? It's a generalization, but can vary from instrument to instrument.
If you were playing something with a compressed foam and glass capped body, graphite neck, active EMG P85s and flatwound strings god only knows what it'd sound like.
i rebuild my cheapo squier with much more expensive active pick ups. (there are some pictures and updates on that project a few pages back too.)
i'm running 010 string on them, and i'm positive that i didn't reverse the wiring.
but as long as it sounds good it's good enough for me.
once i get a better paying job, i want to take up guitar
how hard is it to learn yourself? im sure like any instrument there is a steep curve
do you go cheap on your first one as to see if you like it?
It's not that hard to learn.
It's hard to master.

Cheap, but not bottomfeeder.
Depending on what you want to play, and if you want electric or acoustic, we can start shooting some recommendations your way.
and generally acoustics are harder to play just because it takes more effort to fret the notes

I learned the guitar myself. I wouldn't say it is that difficult. Be easier and better with a teacher, but doing without can work out. The learning curve is steep and depends on how well and how much you practice. You should be able to play a lot of basic rock songs within a few months time.

If you want to play rock and metal songs then get an electric. For some reason a lot of people make the claim that everybody should start out with an acoustic and then move on to an electric.
[QUOTE=Pepin;28043830]For some reason a lot of people make the claim that everybody should start out with an acoustic and then move on to an electric.[/QUOTE]
I'm glad I did
going from an acoustic to an electric as a beginning guitarist was a huge confidence boost for me just because the electric was so much easier to play

Relax, it probably won't have damaged the guitar unless the strings have been over-tightened for a long period of time, and they would have to be really tight. I've never heard of a guitar neck snapping before because of over-tightened strings, the strings would snap long before the neck ever would unless it was already damaged from something else. It would even have to be pretty extreme to warp the neck as well, as far as I know necks only really warp over long periods of time and it is mostly a combination of factors, such as heat or extreme temperature changes, incorrect truss rod adjustment and incorrect string tension.
Guitar necks can actually take a lot of punishment.
[QUOTE=BassB;28041599]oh.. ehm. that certainly is contradictory with my experience, curious.[/QUOTE]
Can you record a sample of your guitar or something? I'm curious to hear it.

Depending on the gauge of strings it could still cause enough bowing for it to need attention, though.
No it won't snap but bowing in general is not a good thing.
Well a few days isn't going to hurt it, maybe if you put bass strings on it or something or your guitar is made of plywood and doesn't have a truss rod

When I first started out, I despised chordal and acoustic sounding stuff. Of course I really enjoy it now, but at the time when I picked up guitar I wasn't into it and I likely would have lost interest playing guitar.

I've actually considered using a high bass string for the 7th string whenever I do get a seven. Is that a bad thing? :ohdear:
