I always play to drumtracks. Keeps things in a musical context.


The ONLY time i play to a click track is when recording.

same here, picked up a dr-20 cause of it, though I use guitar pro at times as well

I'm thinkig of buying a DiMarzio Superdistortion for the bridge of my strat....is that a good choice?

I have a list of guitars for my second guitar, but i can't decide on which one to get. £499 is the maximum i can spend. I know i have to try them out myself, but i don't want to try 6 at the same time, so if you could narrow the list down to 2 or 3 that would be cool, then it will be easier to make my final decision.

the S470DXQM. its got shit pickups but its got one hell of an innovative tremelo, when you bust a string it stays in tune, and its just a pleasure to rip on. add a mahogony body to the mix and its a great deal.

 

[Leandro]

and plays like heaven

nothing just i prefer ibanez, but DK jackons are good.


RR3s are really crappy, it you want a rhoads get a rr1 or rr5, Dont be a fanboy and get a laiho sig.

Esp and washburn are really overated.

 

[Feel_The_Force]

Cheers for the tips guys

Do you think it's worth changing the pickups? Or should i save my money and buy a good amp or something instead of my shitty 15 watt marshall.

[War_Blade]

by the rg ibanez, and switch the pups to dimarzio.




then save for a line 6 half stack (best value half stack)



i know it might take a while to save up that much but trust me, its worth it

 

[Feel_The_Force]
