This is my second guitar lesson. This one is all about setting up and maintaining your guitar to have a great metal sound and tone.

We'll cover truss rods, intonation, action, and other things you can do to improve the playability and sound of your guitar.

Great video bro what kind of strings do you use, what gauge?



[RedSGShredder]

@rahkmavalous1 Thanks man. I use 11's.

and those magnets are drawing in strings, so they are loosing vibrations faster ;) and that causes worse sustain. thats just physics and i've checked it, only a fact that i wanted you to know, no offence dude :D i really like ur covers and lessons, thanks for them :) and sorry for my english

[RedSGShredder]

@27davidsantana Yes dude you are right no offense taken, heheh. I know what you are saying. Personally I'd rather trade the sustain for loudness and a harder attack though.

[TechnicalFreak]

Is it true, that "if" I change the strings, from say .010 to .011 or higher, I have to intonate it (again)? I only changed to Ernie Ball stainless strings on my SG (.010), and the intonation changed, not by much, but a little.

[RedSGShredder]

@TechnicalFreak You probably won't have to, but it really depends from guitar to guitar. I'd say it's a good idea to check it anyway.

Nice. Which is the best way to clean the guitar fretboard?

[Z320187]

@RedSGShredder

haha, same as me, on bridge pickup i need lots of signal, i will get sustain from neck one if i will need it ;) cheers shredder, thx for your effort that you put in making those lessons :) btw, one little question - playing what genre of music will give me more skills improvment: death metal (mostly Death) or metalcore (Parkway Drive, The Human Abstract (sweet band), All That Remains etc) ? i'd be glad to hear your opinion, it will be helpfull to make my mind and decide well ;)
