@vanquisher21312 Hi there - thanks for getting in touch, these questions were asked quite a while back when we did live webcasts, they will be available on the website to watch in full soon! However if you have a question you'd like to ask Andy - he does answer questions sent in from licklibrary members via our website forum. Will post the link to the Forum in the description. Hope it helps!

@neochase what you could do is analyse your day and see what sort of times of the day you don't do much (trust me you'll be amazed how much time we waste in our day.) and use those sort of times to practise the absolute basics (depending on your ability.) without your amp while watching TV or waiting for your mates to come over etc. Doing it this way racks up your practise time during the day, the basics eventually become autonomous and your actual allocated time for practise is used for the

@neochase1 of course 8 hours a day wolud be great but even if you practice 1 hour a day everyday you'll see great imporvement, you just have to practice the right way and pay attention to your technique, a metronome or drum machine is a must have, i think.

@BodomChildBreeder Andys guitar is h-1001 i guess :) and i use myself a seven string Schecter Blackjack atx c-7, an awesome guitar that features Duncan blackout active pickups(much better than emg`s) tonepros tune-o-matic bridge, ebony fretboard, awesome schecter locking tuners and mahogany body. Guitar is also found as 6 and 8 string version as well as 7 string so get a look ! and Schecter hellraiser is also awesome :)

i hate tremolo bridges cos im a technical noob - can someone name james guitar here or any pother decent models for metal that do not have floyd rose and all that shit. I am aware of jackson's begginner rr flying v's and obviousely things like les pauls and telecasters and starts.. any other suggestions??

[HarryDude54]

I don't agree with this. I think that playing the guitar should be fun, not a chore. If your going to practice certain skills, styles ect, you should make sure you are enjoing what you are practicing. I'm just saying why can't you just have a practice at everything and turn it into a little jam session! :)
