I'm thinking of thinning the guitar herd a bit but the prospect of selling stuff on Kijiji or eBay just makes me want to go do cash trade-ins at the music store (the difference in amount of money I'd get compared to dealing with shipping instruments and possible is not worth it for me). There's a pretty amazing 1987 custom shop Jackson strat I have my eye on but I think before I buy it I need to clear some old guitars out. | ||

Planning on making the following investments: 1) An Acoustic full body guitar; by that i mean not cut away at the end to help the left hand go higher. I play mostly chords and fingerstyle and arpeggios, no solos; budjet is 400-600 Euros. I have owned only Ibanez guitars and so far i' ve liked them; 2) Amp or equivalent, to allow both guitar and mic (i own a good mike allready and a electric guitar) to be playing from the amp; It would be best if it had a battery too, so as to be portable to be able to play where there is no electricity output; Budjet 500 Euros. I can' t remember the amp that i had, but it was something along the lines fender or vision; very cheap anyway. So far so good. Please do not suggest instruments that are bigger than my budjet. As much as i would like too, this is the possibility i have now, and i require both sets of things. Thank you for any advice, especially if you have similar guitars or amps or are experienced in the field; | ||

@FFGenerations: you should never ever ever ever push hard when you finger a note or chord, ever. It's one of the most common mistakes beginners make. You slightly change the note's pitch because you are putting too much extra pressure on the string, and you can't move your left hand fluidly if you push like that. You just need to practice until you can control your fingers better. | ||

so i guess i need to retrain to press it further down and lighter. i tend to practice pretty .... not calmly and too quickly for my ability . so there's a lot of super heavy finger pushing to hotfix fret buzz and getting frustrated about missing strings with my right hand rather than slowing it all down and giving better technique to all facets, i guess. i have the habit of practicing everything full speed (or whatever speed my head is doing) nomatter what, so i should bare that in mind and itll also stop me getting hot and bothered all the time here is today after 34 minutes of trying to do it notice a lot of leaning forward , i have no idea if its "ok" to do that but it helps with keeping that first e minor chord ringing out. probably you reduce the leaning the better your technique/finger placement gets atually i have been playing 1 yr and 3 months i fort it was 2 yrs already lol | ||

https://www.thestar.com/entertainment/music/2016/06/17/eric-clapton-says-nerve-damage-makes-playing-guitar-hard-work.html i had a 2 year struggle with tendonitis that nearly cost me the ability to play. some may have noticed in messages about elbow injuries that i know every ligament, tendon, bone, nerve, etc in the elbow. i didn't learn all that stuff for the fun of it. i know that in popular culture that tendon injuries are considered "nothing". for musicians, tendon injuries are dangerous and career threatening.

 If you want a guitar for dive bombs don't buy a mexican standard strat. Those trems are ok for vibrato but they can't hold tuning at all if you do anything more intense. | ||

 Apparently the Edge original is fairly close and highly valued by people like too (although his older guitars still have floyd's). My Ibanez has an Edge Pro and it's just not the same. edit: lol Edge Pro was discontinued and the Ibanez I have now comes with an Edge original. FML. | ||
