I have a Q about my guitar. I own a Les Paul, im not sure what kind. it has that switch thingy on the bottom in instead of the top left, but my buddy said that the one i have isnt really a metal LP, and isnt meant for "shredding" he said its harder 2 do fast alternate picking and pinch harmonics. Now im a beginner but on his guitar i was kinda doing PH's and playing was actually a little easier. So should i stick with my guitar or try and get a different one??? please help \m/

@rkochamp07 Personally I think you should stick with what you like. If Les Pauls aren't shredding guitars, then Zakk Wylde didn't get the memo.

Dude, your really funny. It was actually entertaining watching this, so thanks! I have an Sg white epiphone, love it! But why do you laugh about your strat so much? im just curious

[RedSGShredder]

Thanks dude. Laugh? That's just how I talk.

[RedSGShredder]

@masterpockets211 No reason. Sometimes I just realize how ridiculous it feels to talk to a camera.

Hey can you help me decide on which guitar to pick? i've played for about 3 monthes on an acoustic guitar and i can't decide on an epiphone sg, or an ibanez art100, i really want a good, crunchy, metal sound and i can't decide which one to pick? can you help me out?

[RedSGShredder]

Sure man I'd suggest an SG of course!

Just a little side note about the pickups; they work by electromagnetic induction i.e. rotating a coil in a magnetic field generates electricity. This is in fact the mechanism by which power station generators work by. Now in a guitar the pickup is in fact just a magnet hooked up to the amplifier, where the vibrations (rotations) of the guitar string generates electricity, which the amplifier converts to analog sound.

Also,you forgot,one Floyd Rose disadvantage is that the routing for the bridge takes out a huge chunk of wood.

i don't really give a crap about bolt on, set neck, or neck-thru as far as guitar tone gones (if all higher frets are easily accessible) cuz Vai's guitar is bolt on and sounds great, Satriani's guitar is also bolt-on. But i would rather have a set-neck neck-thru cuz they are sooooo comfortable.

anyways your lessons rock Vafa; )
