My First Guitar!

[Murdr]

I've had a couple of em now.  Great guitars as long as you play standing up. 

Eh?  Feel perfectly comfortable to me...In fact it puts the neck at a really nice angle for playing high positions.  Here's a video of an old buddy wailing away on his Rhoads...

Actually that same guy sold me my Rhoads and TyDye Dinky when he used to work in a music store 18 years ago

When you're driving, instead of wanking about playing air-guitar at the lights.... 'play' the drums.

Don't knock it too much.  I absent mindedly pick my steering wheel or pant leg seam all the time.  Not much help for the OP with his acoustic, but it's great for picking up oddball tripplet/diad/triad combinations in metal alternative songs...at least for me.

<sigh> I shouldn't have rewatched that.  He flies through that arpeggio at 1:23 in 7 seconds.  I play that same arpeggio (learned it from him years ago) in the video linked in my sig at 3:54 and it takes me 18 seconds to get through it

Been normally playin through my 200 watt Randall so long, that I have to think on that   FDD always on, treble and gain maxed, mid around 5, bass somewhere between 6-9 depending on whether I had active pickups, and I'd use the contour to scoop the exact tone I wanted.  That's if Im playing alone, I EQ the bass and mid different if I need to punch a lead through a base and rythm guitar.  But my default tone is something like Metallica "...and Justice for All" album, and it gets close enough for me just riffing by myself.  Not sure how "metal" you're trying to get.

You guys have a nice collection of guitars. 

I'm looking for an electric guitar myself. Alot of the song I'm messing around with just don't sound right on acoustic.

I'm getting better but it doesn't look like I'll be playing eruption any time soon. Although, I do have Marry had a Little Lamb and Jingle Bells down pat.

I had quite a collection once.  Five electrics, four acoustics and an electric bass.  Then I realized I was compensating for lack of talent.    I still have one electric, one nylon string classical, and one steel string acoustic. That's all a no talent hack like me should ever need.

Have fun down a long and hard road, Mikeypoo!

You can keep the fenders....

I will, they sound better for the type of music I play..... the Deluxe is awsome ( Lyndy Fralin Vintage Hots and wired like a 57')....
