[QUOTE=SolidSnake52;26025836].13s? Really? That would hurt my fingers WAY too much. I use DR medium-heavy .10s exclusively, love 'em to death.

I float between wanting to play fast, and wanting to play mellow and melodic.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, I just got able to start bending all of the strings on them. My fingers are sore occasionally after playing, but they have a nice deep resonance to them.

o ye got my new electric+amp for my birthday yesterday

Can't play shit but it's fun to mess around with. Been VERY slowly learning past few months from my stepdad but now that I actually have a guitar I'm gonna start taking it more seriously.

Sounds good :buddy: Spent the past hour or so learning some stuff from my stepdad. All I can really play are simple AC/DC riffs and some scales :v: And some Metallica but I've forgotten all but Seek & Destroy lol. I'm considering that offer for your band member giving me lessons. I assume he does it as his actual job yes?

[Dopey Trout]

He's in college with me, does some odd jobs but most of his work is tutoring. He is licensed if that's what you mean though

[mikeyt493]

That's what I meant yeah lol. Figured he would be.

[Dopey Trout]

He's on holiday til Tuesday, I'll give him a shout for you when he's back :)

[mikeyt493]

Alright cheers :smile: Do you know how much he charges? I take it that it's by lessons and not per hour or whatever yeah?

[Dopey Trout]

I'm not sure, it varies depending on petrol costs, but it's not obscenely high or anything :v:

Hey guys, I've been practicing alot, and I finally can play Symphony of Destruction by Megadeth at record speed. Now I need a new song to practice, preferably metal, although any song that is fun or allows me to practice things like barre chords is good, anyone have any suggestions? : )

Any Metallica song in the history of ever.
The Four Horsemen is a pretty fun one.

Pretty much ALL metal has power chords somewhere in the song, truth be told. If you're into power metal, Blind Guardian and Kamelot are also really fun to play.

[dcalde78]

Would a regular Cry Baby wah have a big enough range to be used on a bass?

I forgot to mention that im a beginner, and that I didn't do the solo : ( but thanks : )

Horsemen still applies. It's really not that hard, just learn it slow at first.
Hell most Metallica songs still apply, just don't go trying to learn Blackened, Dyer's Eve, or Damage, Inc. this soon.

Kamelot has a couple easy rhythms. You might be able to play PARTS of Blind Guardian songs, but not a whole base track (no solo, all other parts though).

The black album is the easiest as every song is just power chords.

If you really want the pickup and wood choice of the ESP, get the ESP. Hell, they're both alder with maple necks and unless you're considering an LTD, original floyds, so it really comes down to whether you want that passive H2-B or an 81.

You want a Jackson rr3 instead.

The ESP is double the price though. It's just not justifiable at all IMO.

RR5FR would be a better bet in a similar budget

[QUOTE=Pepin;26024950]I think a lot of Vai's stuff is amazing. His live performances are on par or better than the studio version.

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IrWyZ0KZuk[/media]

There are a good number of his songs I wouldn't listen to twice though.[/QUOTE]

He is undeniably good. He gets into what he is playing, but damn that guy looks like he is having some form of sex with his guitar. He needs to wrap his tool before he plays a performance.

I wouldn't touch a guitar with only one pickup to begin with, so neither is a good choice in my mind. I'm just saying, between the two, the only real difference is the pickup.

Goddamn this may be late but stop trying to be Alexi Laiho. All you'll get this shit guitar which has a tone brighter than the sun and still sounds shit in Drop C which people think is necessary to tune in.

A friend of mine who bought an Alexi-200 about a year ago for $1200au plans on selling it for $500. It's in perfect condition.

Satch taps with his pick sometimes. Just gives a different sound

[editline]13th November 2010[/editline]

Overpriced sig guitar, makes you look like a fan boy, shit pickup, no versatility, surprisingly clunky neck[/QUOTE]

You are lucky as hell. All I've got is an SE, which is still an amazing guitar, but I would kill for a Custom or a McCarty.

Don't get a low-mid end Jackson. In fact, I'd go as far as saying don't get a Rhoads style Jackson. They have horrible trebley tones, and are just really much worse than several similarly priced guitars which play the same sort of stuff better, like ESPs.
