I think knowing that good guitarists uses certain brands can certainly influence many people. You shouldn't base it solely on that, but they obviously must be good/decent brand if your idol endorses them.

Not a a huge fan of Fenders in general though. Too much treble for me. Also not a fan of single coils in general.

Fuck brands, independant luthiers over all. Also I play the cheapest brands :smug:

[QUOTE=absinthe;26981035]because they're generic and nearly everyone has one[/QUOTE] Everyone has one because they're god like for a cheap-ish price.

Not sure if it was made with a guitar, but is there any way to tab the first "electronic-sounding" part of [url=http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5187584/Final-Strider-battle.mp3]this song[/url] or the second (starts around 0:16) more clearly sounding guitar?

Just sounds like powerchords :v: Also, 1. PRS + Suhr end of :colbert: Unless you're talking custom, then who the fuck knows

Anyone have some starting out tips? I find myself to be shit at holding the string down hard enough while at the same time not covering the next one with the same finger :frown: I'm trying to learn some chords along with the chromatic scale but that gets rather boring after an hour or so.

It always inspires me. You have to practice lots to get drastically better. Just remember that it all pays off. :)

Damn my short fingers. Makes it hard to reach more than 3 frets in either direction Hopefully they begin to stretch out some from playing.

I'll keep that in mind though, any finger exercises I could be doing?

g and c are the most difficult for me I just play the g on the low e with my thumb and mute the a string :v: for the g chord that is

Your fingers are so small! It's tiny to me!!!

[QUOTE=absinthe;26986679]g and c are the most difficult for me I just play the g on the low e with my thumb and mute the a string :v: for the g chord that is[/QUOTE] Whaaaaat but then you don't get the the major third, the B that is

ye I know it sounds less cloudy to me that way
