  • when I try to mute it, I just muffle the sound entirely. would i need to get a effects pedal to get a fuller sound?

  • @fuglymidgets I'm not sure what's going on there. If you are lightly laying your palm across the strings at the bottom of the guitar with your picking hand, it does muffle the sound. An effects peddle will help because that muffled sound should become a crunch if you use a metal effect. The sound changes somewhat depending on how how much pressure you apply to the strings.

  • @JeremyPattonGuitar thanks for the help, im picking up a rp100 next week.

  • @fuglymidgets Cool. I'm not sure if I've used that model. There are a lot of good effects pedals out there. You can get a nice one for less than $100.

  • @JeremyPattonGuitar Oh wait, is that the one I'm using in the video, haha? If so, I've had a lot of fun with it.

  • @JeremyPattonGuitar ye dude haha i think it is, you mentioned it in one of your comments. thanks for the advice, hopefully now my thrash band wont sound so pussy

  • @fuglymidgets You're welcome. Keep practicing.

  • hey what do you use for that backing track that you can speed up/down.. and where can I get one?

  • @xiNfEcTiOnSTUDIOx I am mostly self-taught, but that is a lot easier these days thanks to Youtube and other websites. Lessons will always help, but how much money and time you spend depend on how serious you are. I play guitar as a hobby and to relax. Teaching yourself guitar is slower than having experienced players help you.

    As far as your progress, I can't answer that. It depends on how much time you put in and how well you practice.
