now thats a twist i thought it'd be a good idea to try practicing making open C + G by positioning fingers at the same time / in reverse order and it caught on pretty quick (10 mins) after seeming very hard and is actually like a massive improvement in speed/accuracy literally too tired to remember the sequence , look forward to practicing clean-ness soon the solo low notes are unintentional from lack of form lol | ||

endless rain is getting better but its still tons of room for improvement. and that's with reverb on. i just dont have time to practice this shit as the weeks go by one life chords are ok, too tired to get them down here but wanted to record it. also trying dif strumming pattern which make it harder started learning the scale shapes, i know the pentatonics already and learnt major and minor 1st and 2nd positions over the weekend, aim to practice them this week. minor scales are soooo sexy :3 edit i went and recorded some airman playthru | ||

I came back yesterday from the local guitar shop ( good reputation ) with my American strat ( sienna sunburst ) to find it scratched ( front and back ), badly set up ( I pulled the strings up once and not one was in tune ). Furthermore, half of the strings are now buzzing.. I'm trying to fight the anger, especially since wreaking havoc there won't bring any kind of solution.. I feel depressed just thinking about it. I was planning on taking it with me when I visit friends and family and had been repeating christmas tunes etc... What can really be done when one encounters this situation ? | ||

For the set up and buzz, either try to remedy yourself if you know how to do it, or take it to a professional luthier rather than a guitar shop and have him look at it. Did you just buy the guitar, or did you ask the people in the shop to work on it? If you just bought it and it's scratched you should be able to return it and get another one. | ||

I posted a picture of the guitar earlier in the thread. It is a Godin lgx with modified Gibson 498t and 490r pickups. I was playing and the sound stopped. I checked all connections and used another guitar and the sound worked. I plugged back into the godin and when I selected the piezo pickup the guitar made noise. Only the piezo would make noise and if the piezo was turned off the guitar would not sound. I assume the person I bought this from did a crappy soldering job and it came lose or something. I've got experience soldering, but never opening up a guitar before. Any tips/places I should look? Should I just suck it up and take it to a tech? | ||

dont practice it much, but it just goes to show theres not "much point" learning new stuff if there is so much work to be done just to get something short like this sounding good | ||

What amp do you have and what genre do you play? an epiphone electar 10 is the ampp.guitar is an epiphone les paul. i got em in a set. I play mostly rock and metal (pretty much everything here but mostly power metal/ cleaner stuff although something that could also do black metal distortion would be awesome.) | ||

Imo when you first look into effects and you have a cheap amp, your best bet is to buy a multi effects unit from Boss or similar, so that your main sound comes from that rather than the amp. The affordable ones aren't the greatest sounding units, but they are usually better than a small amp's overdrive channel. A friend of mine got one of these http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/ME25 used for about half the retail price, and he's pretty happy with it. okay thanks a lot. I figured i needed a pedal for osund reasons. Ill go to my local store and see if they have anything good either used or new | ||

Oh, and for the rocksmith cable plugged into PC and using amplitube instead of an amp, yeah that works great. I do that quite a bit since I don't want to be noisy. | ||
