[QUOTE=whitespace;24403883]Yeah but that wouldn't be as cool :smug:
8-string guitars are often used to create heavier riffs by playing the lower notes, like in this.

Horrible Example.

The whole Catch 33 album is better than obZen imo, it's a lot more complex and interesting.
Also heavier.
[QUOTE=whitespace;24406820]The whole Catch 33 album is better than obZen imo, it's a lot more complex and interesting.[/QUOTE]
Yet obZen is much more groovy. I don't know complexity with Meshuggah never caught me as much as there rhythms and groove.
How hard would it be to place a DiMarzio humbucker in a Jazzmaster?

Agreed

Best example :buddy:
I think this is tuned to the A# below the F# standard on 8 strings.
[QUOTE=mynames2long;24405269]Steve Vai is the third god[/QUOTE]
Who are the first 2?
[QUOTE=HoldenC;24408245]Who are the first 2?[/QUOTE]
Jimi Hendrix and Dimebag Darrell
My own list of course
I feel BB King should be there somewhere
[QUOTE=TheWiseTruth;24399711]I really want a V. I don't know if I want a Rhoads or a King V, I just know I don't like the Epi/Gibson look. Anyone know of anything with a Floyd? :D[/QUOTE]
Look at the Jackson Rhoads RX10D, it has a flloyd but im not sure if its any good

I absolutely agree with your list :D
[QUOTE=tommyc225;24409071]Look at the Jackson Rhoads RX10D, it has a flloyd but im not sure if its any good[/QUOTE]
The Floyd on the Jackson X's is terrible. The RR3 would be a much better investment

What about Paul Gilbert and John Petrucci?
[QUOTE=TheLocust;24403666]i never understood the commotion about more strings, it's not that much of a difference. i used to have a 7 string Ibanez, that was once of the first guitars I sold.
my 300 dollar strat and my steinberger do everything that you can do with your fancy [i]7 string guitar[/i] and [i]show guitars[/i]. :glomp:[/QUOTE]
Dream Theater. John Petrucci has about a dozen songs total that flat-out require a 7-string, such as The Glass Prison and A Change of Seasons. Sure you could transpose the song if you exclude all solos, but it makes it ALOT harder to play.

[QUOTE=Reaver1991;24403845]It's always nice to have more notes to work with.
I don't understand why people get upset about others wanting a guitar with more than six strings, or a bass with more than four.[/QUOTE]
Yeah the bass one really perplexes me. Go ahead, try to play any Dream Theater song on a 4-string bass. More specifically, try to play a song like Metropolis, or The Dance of Eternity, or Panic Attack with a 4-string bass.
If the sound you want requires the extra range, why [i]not[/i] take the extra range?
[editline]02:35PM[/editline]
[QUOTE=Olinaj;24411640]What about Paul Gilbert and John Petrucci?[/QUOTE]
Well John Petrucci is in slot 0. Because nothing can beat god itself.
Paul Gilbert is number 4 I suppose. He's good but I think Vai is more inventive.
[QUOTE=SolidSnake52;24412460]If the sound you want requires the extra range, why [i]not[/i] take the extra range?[/QUOTE]
Some people don't like the feel of more strings, I find a 4 string bass the most comfertable to play.
David Gilmour. :colbert:
[QUOTE=PwnNoobsFtw;24412743]David Gilmour. :colbert:[/QUOTE]
My classic idol. I love everything about his tone. If I'm not playing metal, I'm attempting to imitate Gilmour's tone and feel.
Heyaaa made a [I]rough demo[/I] of the outro part from my upcoming instrumental (No djent style sorry :P just fiddle faddle everything in one) Will continue on it in some days maybe (Still in need of 2 riffs, the rest is done) tell me what ya metal heads think :smile:!

You really shouldn't use power chords with lower tunings, with drop A they're fine but after that they start to get muddy.
You were either using power chords or the sound was just plain muddy @ 0.40.
I don't think there was anything else wrong in that song, good job.

It was intended like that, that isn't a power chord, it is scratching my low tuned E string! My powerchords sound clear and good.

David Gilmour is the best guitarist out there, no doubt.

Uh yeah huge doubt

Nope.avi
[QUOTE=PinkRhino;24416892]David Gilmour is the best guitarist out there, no doubt.[/QUOTE]
Umm, not really. He's my favorite guitarist, but definitely not the best.
Would anyone recommend me a combo amp in the $250-$300 range?
well, im not the gearhead on amps but, Peavys are good, Marshalls, Roland maybe, deff not line 6(Dont bash me i said i was not the gearhead i use some experience)
[QUOTE=PinkRhino;24416892]David Gilmour is the best guitarist out there, no doubt.[/QUOTE]
Quite a bit of doubt.

Personally, I think Robert Fripp is one of, if not the best, currently living guitarist, but that's just my opinion. :v:

I'm going to pick me up a bow this week. The bow + delay + reverb = non-stop ambience.
Hey guys, I am a bit torn with guitar choices right now. I want a V shaped/style guitar. I already have an ESP EX-401DX which is a great guitar, but because of the Floyd Rose, tuning down is a major pain since I like to play Metallica's Load album and Megadeth's Youthanasia album sometimes. I don't really want a Dean or B.C. Rich. I am leaning towards ESP or Jackson. Price range is probably $1000, but I would be willing to earn some more money, it would just take sometime.
So far the ESP LTD V-401 has me interested as well as the RR5. I can get the V-401 for $500, and the RR5 for about $900.
I play Megadeth, Metallica, Anthrax, Judas Priest, and occasionally Slayer.
tl;dr Any suggestions for V's without Tremolo's under $1000
Don't get a V
