is it works on the lower strings on a single coil pickups? I find it too hard... any tips?

[Randysaxeman]

@rOuGuErAvEn47 they do work on single coils, but it is reallyyyy hard to get decent sounding ones simply cuz single coils aren't really ment for playing hard rock ;)

Hi there, are you using any distortion pedals?  And are they all set to max? If not, then what amp are you using? Thanks.

[Randysaxeman]

@JohnPain123

nope no pedals, just straight line 6 spider III amp on the crazy train setting.

Have you got any tips for pinching on the lower strings? I can get them on the higher strings and higher up the fret board, just can't seem to get the 3rd fret one on the low E

@getlostupig

the technique is pretty much the same. maybe it takes a little more vibrato to make it sound nice. Think as if you are exaggerating the vibrato and that will be the kind of bending you need to make it sound nice.

@KOOGARR95 true. you'll also need decent pick ups and enough treble + gain (this made it work for me)

People, if you want a guitar to play PH`s don`t rely on a single coil guitar, i have a Fender ripoff, and squealies are difficult as all hell, get a LTD Viper-50 or something, beginner guitar at affordable price and super easy squealies..
