Thanks man great help.

I'll try to play along to rain maybe after 2 weeks. im working very hard now, at least 3 hours on guitar everyday!

Which do you think i should get first? An amp or new pickups?...

What? Don't hesitate man, start now! There is no 2 weeks or whatever in metal. If you manage to practice everyday for that amount of time you specified, you will surely get it. Just don't neglect your practice sessions and never take shortcuts. You can do it dude.

Good thing you are now questioning about what gear you're gonna get, but that will come after many months of experimentation, playing, screwing up and screwing up again. Listen to more music and decide what your tone will be like. THEN do the research on your pickups and amplifiers accordingly to get your tone.

LadyInTears is right at some point though although it was put quite bluntly. Do try to do your homework harder. You have to find out somethings for yourself cuz stuff like guitar tone and pups are quite subjective.

Hey man, if you wanna know more about tone, come over to CityMusic anytime and look for Peter (me). I work there and I can teach you something about how to get your tone and maybe teach you some licks which can help you shred or something.

Cheers!

Do you buy a guitar every year or something?
Rich =.=

Not really. I had only an acoustic for the first 4 years, then had ONE electric that lasted me for the next 7 years. and then it increased to about 5 guitars when I began working (including 1 acoustic and one nylon, both Takamine, bought so I could have something to use for church that didn't scare the worshippers back then) for about another 3 years. Over the last 6 years, i've bought, traded and sold over 10 guitars. I still have 10 guitars in my collection now, most of which were bought over the last 3 years. Working life brings rewards sometimes...:mrgreen:

Now, i could shred and sweep and all, but i have no theory. The songs that i compose, all the solos and whatever, are basically ear trained(?), meaning like if it sounds right and nice to me, i'd just put them in.
It MAY sound good, but then in the long run, you'll find out there's no PHRASING and PROGRESSION (i hope u know what im talking about), its just basically subbing in stuff that goes with whatever key ur playing in. AND, the lack of theory = NO IMMEDIATE IMPROVISATION. Its like, someone wants to jam with you, and he tells you
'hey dude lets jam, ima go from E to G, G to F, F to A and bablabla'
And you won't know what the shit he's trying to say.

Good post...

Honestly? It took me almost 20 years to figure out how to do what you wrote above. Now I can almost do it by ear, on-the-fly. But it took a shit load of work to get there...

DO THE SOLO :twisted:
It's much easier than the solos of most of the rest of their songs...

That was a joke haha, don't do the solo unless you can hit all the notes cleanly first, and get the hang of hammer-ons and pull-offs.

@Whitestrat: you make me so jealous, 10 guitars...

 

[teleplayer]

^ how about sub? he got like 20-30+ guitars.. LOL.

@Whitestrat: you make me so jealous, 10 guitars...

Actually, nothing to it... Study hard, come out, find a good job, recognise opportunities and save money... You'll get there... (don't spend it all drinking and clubbing and trying to impress girls...)

Because he didn't sell any he collected?:twisted: If I didn't sell any, I'd also be stuck with around that number, with quite some gems in my collection... Regretted selling those... *haiz*

You still have your EBMMs. haha.

I'd gladly trade some of my EBMMs for my old Ibanez JPM 90th Anniversary. And my first Ibanez 440R.
