hi, i would like to know if i can play small scale guitars like this in tunings like C, B & A with strings of heavy gauges ( .13) Im currently using DR strings. Would that work ?
most people tune up with mini guitars, because of the short scale and to get some tension in the strings, I noticed most people tune up to G on these short scales
It pisses me off when 3/4 scale guitars are labeled "children's guitar". There are two advantages to these shorter scale guitars: 1. they tend to be a lot lighter, so less fatiguing when playing live; 2. they are more suited to thicker gauge strings that offer a fuller, more interesting tone than thinner gauge - and thicker strings break less.
I know right? I was gonna do somethin else but there are like two billion youtube users so I had to make it looong. so here I am. btw, I'm twelve. I know you have to be thirteen to join, but **** that. as long as I don't start internet flame wars and avoid trolls like you long enough, I can live with it.
I love people who say they sound bad because they have a crappy guitar. I pull out my $120 Ibanez Gio and they don't believe me when I tell them it cost that little. Its all in the hands.
I am interested in knowing what it was like to playing a guitar like that. I mean it would seem odd when you are probably used to playing guitars that are not "mini". Haha.
The weirdest thing about playing this guitar was getting used to slackness of the strings. Since the scale length is so short, the string tension is very low. With heavy strings, it would play & sound a lot better.
Screw what raygarth or whatever that jackass had to say. You were awesome. I bet that dipshit couldn't play half the stuff u play. Everybody's a critic now a days LOL.
my ears hurt... shredding needs to have a purpose... you can't go around playing 20 notes per second and expect it to sound good all the time... maybe if you had a backing track or something...
This guitar is 3/4 scale. It's a bit harder to play since I'm used to a full size instrument. Due to the short scale length, the strings feel very loose. The feel & sound would probably improve greatly with heavier gauge strings.

lol, that sounds so bad! Good playing though, but somewhere around 0:47, you need to work on your 6 string sweeps. Either that, or it was that fucking squier.
i dont know why people think kirk hammett and shit are the best when this dude right here play's exactly the same and has same skill, i bet if he got on stage he would look more famous and more attracting than any other guitarist, cept zakk.
You are by far the best guitarist I have ever seen. And I don't just say this because I'm impressed by speed, but your knowledge of musical theory blows me away, and I never hear a single bad note anywhere, EVER. FUCK.
A lot of guys play real fast, but sound uninteresting. Riff guy plays fast, and uses very interesting phrases his choice of notes always surprises my ear. That's what I love about his playing. I think that has a lot to do with his knowledge, and his gift as a musician.
Sounding interesting or uninteresting isn't a result of knowledge of music theory. Riffguy obviously has a good ear, which has developed over years of playing the guitar, and listening to music.
I agree, but without knowing the theory, it's very difficult to come up with catchy phrases that are also musically "correct". Wouldn't you say? Also, Riff guy is educated in music as far as I know.
I wouldn't say that. If you look at most guitarists that are legends in the rock world of guitar most of them have absolutely no formal musical education, not to say that they don't know understand how much works. There's a difference between theoretically understanding the concepts, and internalizing them from being immersed in the music.
Most guitarists, like me, take this approach: get fairly good, then learn some theory, incorporate the theory into your playing, but don't base your playing on it.
Actually most guitarists do this: try to get good, end up sucking ass, and then never learn any theory and resent it because you're afraid of learning. But kudos to you!
That kicked Bass! I'd like to see you on some pro gear. Chops make all the diff in the world, but there is still something to be said for real gear. I'd like to see what you would do with half way decent rig.
to be honest that isnt very hard to do once you learn your scales but put soul into it then you will have it
