I don't always play acoustic guitar. Quick pentatonic strat solo, warming up at practice tonight.

Damn auto correct always wants to change 'Strat' to 'start'.

 

[capedoc]

the key to arpeggios is start slow and make sure all notes ring out. You learn how to walk before you can run.

Sick!

Here's a pretty easy one for the folks starting out to try. The chords behind the first verse in Pull me Under.



And the intro to Metropolis. Again, easy stuff to get going.



I have the sheet music for this album so I could post the pages if anyone's interested.

Implausible. He wouldn't survive a hit from a Gibson, those is some chunky geetars.

Everytime someone posts their guitars I realize my collection needs to be bigger.

 

[capedoc]

N+1 for guitars as well?

It depends on my mood actually. The rosewood on the warmth side and the maple on the brighter side. The rosewood I guess 🙂

Ha, yeah. I feel exactly the same.

Used to have this maple Strat. Definitely a bit on the bright side. Almost too bright for the music we were playing.


Bought this American HSS Strat 10 years ago with rosewood. Has been my main electric guitar for most of that time. Definitely warmer tone. I noticed the difference right away. The Humbucker helps.

Also from an aesthetic standpoint, I prefer the look of the darker neck and the visual separation it creates with the headstock. To me, a guitar has to look good so thats important. 🙂

I still want more guitars. I dont have a 7 string yet. and I want some of the gibson les paul and a ES335 as well. ;-).
