Hey man you're great.!! i have a question for you: i have an Fender squier bullet and a fender 10G amplifier, how i can obtain more heavier sounds?

[Guitartricks]

@GonzAnimations Thanks Gonz, most Squiers come with "single-coil" pickups. They're great but they sound thin for metal/rock. A humbucker would help this out. Also, you've got a good beginner rig, but the amp speaker is small so you can't expect a HUGE sound. You might want to try out amps in the music store with your guitar to hear the differences, just so you know what is creating the sound you like. -Neal

wtf i cant powwer cord ghaaaaa im sooo pisseedddd i cant get it ive sen like 20000 videos all the same thing and it sounds like elephants having sex help mee!!!please!

[Guitartricks]

@m1necraft3rs try fingering a power chord with only two notes, then try each note by itself (one finger) so you can hear if it's ringing out OK. Sometimes when you are using two fingers, your finger will touch another string and create unwanted background noise. Doing one note at a time will let you know if each note is good on it's own. Also you can try a very simple E power chord in the open position: Open E string, first finger on 2nd fret of A string.
