    Which players would you say defined you as a player?

    Damn, its a pretty long list for me so ill divvy it up by person. Randy Rhoads. The guy who made me want to play, his searing solo in Crazy Train blew my 11 year old mind. I had never wanted to pick up a guitar more in my life, he remains a huge influence on my playing, mostly because of his...

    What’s your BIGGEST dream with music?

    Honestly i just want to perform, and be able to perform well. Im not a good writer, i can write melodies and riffs no problem but the poetry side eludes me. I truly want to be a James Hetfield/Ronnie Van Zant esque front man, deliver the raw powerful vocals live accompanied with killer guitar. I...

    Need Help With my First Guitar.

    Epiphone’s are great starting guitars! But for some one who has never picked one up, i think you need to buy a guitar that looks great to YOU and is in your price range, and one that is comfortable for you! Dont pay attention to brands, you can worry about that later. Right now is about getting...

    How to make strings feel "slinkier"?

    A. Strengthen your fingers or B. Try and find a hybrid set with 9s on the high end and 10s on the low end

    Suggestions on a second guitar.. lefty

    I understand changing tunings on a floyd rose sucks lol but the more experience you get with it the quicker you’ll become at doing string changes and other maintenance

    Suggestions on a second guitar.. lefty

    Honestly any guitar can handle low tunings if proper string gauge, and setup are maintained! But i digress. Schecter makes great budget guitars that can drop low but so does epiphone. My epi snow falcon is in C standard all the time and sounds great! The omen series from schecter is affordable...

    Jackson vs Schecter

    Id say Schecter dude. Over the years ive read review after review of both schecter and jackson. schecter has the better Qc, and imo the better bang for your buck (going off reviews and demos). Like when i bought my Brendon Small signature V “Snow falcon (epiphone mind you) i compared with other...

    Okay that makes sense! Thanks Ed!

    SETUP: Basics of Intonation

    I understand how to do it, but my question is how often to perform an intonation adjustment? I typically check it with every string change, and especially if you change gauges of strings.

    FRIZZLE FRY by Primus

    Fuck yes i love Primus! Les Claypool is extraordinary as a bass player and frontman. When it comes to music genres, primus is in a league all its own. My first exposure to Primus, although i didnt know it yet, was the South Park theme song 😂 in case you didnt know, that is most definitely...

    You could get a Floyd Rose FRX, it just mounts on your existing bridge spots! No routing required.
