Give him a break , he is just a 13 year old kid let's hope he can sustain his interest in playing the guitar as he got a gibbie LP as his first guitar . I play guitar for for 30 years and still cannot afford to buy a gibbie just using a cheapo squire affinity strat but I am very happy with it .
 
haha, not the chambered one bro, my fren's one is probably a earlier batch one.. haha
oh yea. i ignore the problem, since its too heavy, i sit down and play haah

Click to expand...

still. he takes everything waaaay too seriously. having a training regime so you can carry your guitar? :confused:
 
I just tried my friend's solid LP (Forgot the brand) and played for 2 hours standing... My back wasn't even pain lol...

Guess in that case a chambered version would be easier :p
 
having a training regime is fine with me,
but having one just to carry the guitar seems a bit too...hardcore?

maybe you can increase your training regime so that you can also jump while playing the guitar for 2hours without feeling strain here and there.
ok that's just being lame.

but seriously are lps really that heavy?
i've no idea since i'm like using a SG guitar

personally i play the cort B4 bass which is around 5kg( plus minus 0.5kg) and i don't feel any strain no matter how long i play lah.
and to add on to that the Cort B4 bass is one of the lighter type of basses around, so maybe you can approach some bassist who play 5 or 6 stringed bass to ask them how they deal with their heavy basses. =]=]

just my 2cents worth
 
my J. Suzuki weighs around 7kg.
i put it on some weighing balance for human. hahaha.
but still i dont see i need any sort of high physical fitness to play a Les Paul standing up !
i'm using the planet wave Joe Satriani strap, i dont feel any strain to be really honest.
 
i guess he's either proving that his training has paid off cos he managed to carry a guitar for 2 hours without his back breaking or that he realized that les pauls actually aren't made out of concrete. you don't need to be a navy seal to carry a les paul, dude.
 
heh, playing geetar and sex the same, we dont need brute force or size to ensure we can play or be good lover. But if we have good technique and stamina to last, either the geetar will whammy into 3 octave and beyond or my partner can call me god and please dont stop

My point was it's won't (ever) be too heavy for me (I think) :p

NS man lol... Some people come out of NS lose muscle put on weight :mrgreen:

NOTE: I'm not refering to anyone in particular, so pls don't feel offended by what I say :)
 
i see all your posts, mad about your gibson,
anyways, i bet you'll regret getting your gibby..
dont get wad i mean? in due time you'll find out,
and btw, the enthusiasm of you and your lp, though you dont have it yet,
is getting insane, irritating and obsessive,
ahhh. i remember i was like this too with my fernandes hide model..
ahaha, anyways, enjoy your lp. i'm sure ill see it on the buy sell section soon
 
dont worry silenscer, with an instrument and from your age(with much more room to grow taller and stronger that is) plus the fact that we can always get used to whatever situation that we can be in(adapting to changes thru the correct repetitive practice), training up for physical fitness to play geetar is actually a minor factor we should be looking at.

Among the reponses, theres mentionings of getting a thicker cushioned and wider strap, its actually one of the more useful suggestion.

if we are looking from the point where standing and playing a guitar/bass, the pressure we have to endure most, other then the weight of the instrument itself, is the area on our shoulder where the strap will be resting on.

Usually this is the area which can give a lot of problem to the tiredness and aching if the instrument is on a heavier side, with a tiny strap and through hours of playing the instrument standing up, with bad posture.

instead of worring bout physical fitness, we shud be looking at good strap, correct playing posture(playing the instrument with strap and standing up) and also the amount of time spend on playing(anything when overplayed, will result in pain and perhaps injuries)

imho
