That will be pretty cool, but i wonder if the fifth string is tuned to B like a regular 5 string? If it is the string would either be really floppy or just thick lol. It might be cool to play it like a cross between a baritone and a bass too:yesway:
I've been wondering since i started playing about 3 years ago what the "proper" technique for the fretting hand is. I usually play rhythm and low strings with my thumb on the back of the neck and switch to thumb over the neck for leads. What confused me is seeing a video of Chris Broderick...
ahh, i know the feeling when you want a great sound but don't have big money. You may get lucky with a used blackstar ht-5 for about that price, there is a video by fearedse on youtube that sounds pretty good:hbang: with a distortion petal you could probably get pretty close to what you are...
I'm using an Ibanez rg560 with a dimarzio tone zone tuned to A standard, thanks for the suggestions, i'll have to find skips to try some things. my budget is 200$-300$, i need a job. I was thinking about a used fuzz pedal just to try out and sell later if it isn't good.
Is there a way to get lots of breakup and a low, sludgy guitar sound without a 2000$ tube amp playing at 200 decibels? I only have 75 watt line 6 spider jam (great for practice, not too great sound) :rolleyes: and i love the sound of the guitars in bands like saint vitus to sun o)) to mastodon...
I have been listening to alot of bands that use B standard tuning (Amon Amarth, crowbar, pelican) and i want to tune my 6 string ibanez to B as well. On my old guitar i used Ernie ball not even slinkies and i didnt like the plain G string because it would always go out of tune and rusted really...
