That guitar has great sound and your playing is clean.

nice playing, and nice guitar

thnx, i really gotta post it on a vid of me playing it through my marshall + pedalboard. its sounds 1000x as awsome...

Empirism

And I would have bet good money that you would have become a corporate lawyer 6 months ago! Bad bet for sure. grammy would be proud.
Phip

where do you find these competitions? seems like a good way for people to hear you

def, idk there around, i mean i dont expect to win, just to play and 4 ppl to notice me :)

lol thnx phip. corporate lawyer lmao, i could never be...

im gona post a pic soon of my pedalboard, its friggin sick!

u like my riff? thnx :) i made it in like 2 secs... lol.

I liked the riff! you know I sometimes daydream that I can play like that, so it oes annoy me a little to see you here saying modestly that 'it's just for fun' and you 'messed up a few times!' Grr. I don't care how much of a jerk I sound right now, I just want to play like that! (Sadly I'm just too lazy to practice enough these days...but still! Very jelous)

lol thnx. i was really just fooling around... i mean when i play my best is at a live gig, i really get into it and by the 4th song im all over the place.

If you don't mind me asking, how much did that Les Paul cost?

tooooooo much. my hard work over 2 summers. $3000 i didnt hve enough my mom gave me a birthday present and said ill paay 1000, u pay your last 2000 from work and pay me back over time. with the work ive done since then, gigs, lessons ect, i only owe her like 400 so im happy and by the end of summer hopefully ill have fully paid her back...

it was worth every penny. ik ur a schecter guy, but i tryed them and i didnt like them. my friend has one, the soddering is falling apart and its brand new, hes had it re soddered 3 times...

if u want a great guitar for the price check out hamers. there AMAZING. seriously 1k cheaper then mine, however mine sounds a bit better but still amazing.

That was really cool of your mom to do that, sounds like she made a good investment too. You're right, I do like Schecters, but I have nothing against a good 'ol Gibson or Fender. I feel every guitar should be treated as an individual piece, autonomous of its brand. The brand does help determine some level of quality without having to actually play the guitar, but there is no substitute for really playing the thing.

Also, I generally recommend Schecters due to the insane "bang for your buck" that they offer. The higher end production Schecters ($700-$1000 or so) are astoundingly cheap for their quality. After playing legitimate Fenders and Gibsons (know a guy who toured professionally for 30 years) there's no drop-off in playability.

Well, whatever, keep up the good work!

yh i kinda just used brand for a guide.

u ever checked out hamer guitars? amzing.

my brother has a Hamer, i dont like it much, it sounds good and everything, but i dont like the wood on the neck and fretboard

hmm which one? the double cut one gibson style sounds amazing.

i have no idea, its either discontinued or custom shop

o. well the one i tryed was amazing.

what's wrong with line 6?

they suck.

youre callin my only live amp a sucker.

it sounded pretty good to me.

yeh i guess so...sorry i hate them overpriced, they break easy, cranked sound like crap, digital sound...

oh well then that makes more sense

They break easily, or you break them easily? THAT is the question!!

Line 6s are great in my opinion, and I'd still encourage people to try them out. They're great fun to use for jams as well. (Join the dark side!!) >:D

I like your playing in this song, just generally sounds like you're having a good time.

nah litterally i crank them and they dont work lol loike a harmonic happens tht makes it sound like crap...

thnkx :)
