    Seriously thinking of quiting for good - Need advice please :(

    efficient practice and consistency is key, 1-2 hours of targeted and purposeful practice is better than 8 hours of metronome work. A lot of what makes a good guitar player does not lean that heavily on the physical/technique. Creativity and a good understanding of music/music theory are the...

    Elbow picking - Is it really that bad?

    there really is no right or wrong when it comes to technique, it really just depends on what you're comfortable with and what kind of pick you use. I used to think that elbow picking was sloppy but I just realized that the players I saw using the technique just had poor coordination. Personally...

    Bend vibrato vs slide vibrato

    I usually bend vibrato, but I'd love to learn how to execute a good slide vibrato. From what i understand it's quite similar to playing slide guitar. But i don't really know the mechanics very well, but i am trying to practice the technique more.

    Legator?

    Sorry but unless you're an artist I don't think you'll be able to get superb quality out of legator. There are countless of horror stories about some of these guitars, in particular their entry level to midrange instruments. Just very poor quality control, but if you're willing to try it then by...

    Is an 80 gauge overkill on a 28" scale?

    no, i think it's alright anywhere between 80-90 is good for people who pick hard. 74 is good if you wanna get that characteristic "Djent" flop and if you use thin picks and pick with minimal force it's perfect.

    Thinking of getting a Strandberg... How do their 8-strings compare to other 8s?

    Ok, so I do have a few thoughts regarding this topic, I apologize for the long post. 1. Understand why you are getting a headless guitar in the first place: You've been tuning your guitar with a headstock for as long as you have before you actually bought a headless. I'm still quite accustomed...

    Learning Yngwie Malmsteen

    Guys! The suggestions are much appreciated! Digging into the Troy Grady Master of Mechanics: Volcano and Stranten Marshall as a start! To clarify, I wasn't looking for that "one" link I was just looking for some advice from people who have gone through the process and have succeeded. Thanks...

    Learning Yngwie Malmsteen

    Much appreciated guys! Well, it is true though I've been looking for Sparknotes/shortcuts to getting the Yngwie Style down and I really do recognize that it really does seem like the lazy route! But then again I'm really just frustrated at how seemingly complex his mechanics are. So I am indeed...

    Abasi Concepts/Larada Megathread

    ^ it was mentioned that he was going to release a "lower priced model", by that I assumed it was going to made in indonesia. I wasn't talking about an the MIJ model since we all know that it's going to be absurdly expensive.

    Abasi Concepts/Larada Megathread

    I still think that it will be made in indonesia like all of the other signature ibbys. I'm also expecting it to cost around 1899-2000 usd since i think the stoneman costs around that much.

    Learning Yngwie Malmsteen

    I've watched most of his Yngwie inspired lessons on youtube. after seeing his videos I'm a little bit more particular about the accuracy of some tab fingerings. Yes they do help!

    Learning Yngwie Malmsteen

    Yngwie has been one of my favorite guitar players ever since I started playing guitar. I started off learning from tabs/guitar pro, but I was honestly never able to learn the right technique. I guess what I took away from learning his songs was how to economy pick. Now I just really want to...

    Is there any "proper" way to play on the endurneck?

    Hmmmm I guess there's no straightforward answer to that. I think the endurneck really just to accommodate the most common thumb positioning guitar players have. So I think that you could play as you normally would on an standard neck with the added benefit of having a more stable surface and...

    Your string gauge for a 27" 8 string guitar?

    I generally use the standard D'addario 10-74's for 27 scale. I use that set because it's generally cheaper than most sets available on the market right now. But I generally use a custom Kalium String set. But the set i prefer would have to be an elixir 9-46 with a 56 for the 7th string an 82-84...

    Older RG2228 Scale Length

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPpbekTXC2M was quite surprised to find out that the older RG2228 scale length was actually 28.5 as tosin mentions at 6:42 of the video. Strange, from what I know RG2228's have always had 27 inch scale lengths. So, do older RG2228's have 28.5 scale...
