Buying A New Guitar And Had A Few Questions?

Howard — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 16:39:30 +0000

I am looking at a few different higher end guitars 800$ + (Higher end for me) and I was wondering if using emg closed pickups would be better for pinch harmonics than a Double Humbucking pickup that is open. I was looking at a Schecter Hellraiser C1-FR and also the Scecter Synyster Custom. It is being used for metal and is being run through a few metal and other boss pedals of mine. Let me know Thanks.

Buying A Guitar Help?

Howard — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 18:02:12 +0000

I really want to learn how to play the guitar. I play the piano, but I’ve always had a yearning for the guitar. Would it be okay to buy one from ebay? I don’t have a lot of money to spend (and my neighbor would be able to teach me the basics so lessons aren’t a problem.)

I’m 14 and I want to buy an acoustic. My dad wants me to order it online since theres a lot of great deals and its pretty cheap. But I really want to go to a music store or something so I can try them out – even though they might be more expensive. What should I do?
also are there any good fairly cheap brands I should look out for?

Buying Guitar Strings….?

Howard — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 16:50:20 +0000

I need to buy a full set of acoustic strings for my Washburn. This is the first time I have ever needed to buy them (as I am pretty new to the guitar scene). Do I need to look for anything special or can I just walk in to a music store and grab a set of strings? Also roughly, about how much do they run in price? Thanks in advance!

Buying A Good Guitar Name At Good Price?

Howard — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 16:37:37 +0000

So I got a guitar a couple years ago for my birthday and my sister broke it (she is 9) and I was wondering what would be a good name to get that isn’t a thousand dollars and maybe if I could get one that was already used so that it was cheaper that would help too. Oh, and I live in Los Angeles. Thank you!

Question About Buying New Guitar Strings?

Howard — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 16:43:28 +0000

I have an Epiphone SG G-400 and I have got it set up but haven’t replaced the strings yet. I’m looking at getting some Ernie Ball Regular Slinkies, are these good strings for playing Metallica-style rock? And will I need to get my guitar set up again, like will I need to change the intonation and will I get fret buzz from new strings?
Please include details and be specific.

Guitar Accessories: More Than Just Icing

Howard — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 19:03:03 +0000

Accessories, as any good fashionista will tell you, can either make or break an outfit. Now I’m not suggesting that a guitar played with last year’s guitar pick simply isn’t worth the effort, or that red guitar straps are the new black. However, guitar accessories do have one thing in common with their fashion counterparts-each is designed to help the user get the most out of his or her instrument or outfit, as the case may be.
There is actually a rather long list of guitar accessories available to the discerning guitar player. These range from various types of guitar supports to amplifiers to nail kits. Yes, nail kits. Hey, all that plucking and strumming can be murder on your cuticles. Suffice it to say, there are enough guitar accessory options to ensure that anyone, be they novice or master, can at least look like they know what they’re doing with their guitar.
Some accessories allow the artists to increase the variety of sounds that can be created by the guitar. For instance the capotasto, or “capo,” as it is more commonly called, is used to alter the pitch of the strings. This accessory is clipped to the fret board through either spring or elastic tension, and the use of one allows the artist to play in different keys without having to change the chord formations. Because of the ease with which they allow guitar players to change keys, these little gizmos are sometimes referred to as “cheaters.”
A plectrum, commonly referred to as a guitar pick, is a small piece of hard material used to “pick” a guitar’s strings. While most classical players prefer to use their finger nails (hence the nail kits), the guitar pick is commonly used amongst electric and sometimes acoustic guitar players. It is usually held between the thumb and first finger of the picking hand and is generally made of plastic, although bone, wood, steel and tortoise shell picks can also be purchased. The guitar pick comes in many shapes, sizes and thicknesses and varies depending on the application. Jazz picks are usually small and agile, whereas those intended for base guitars are generally larger.
A guitar accessory does not even need to be specifically designed for the guitar; it can be anything the artist uses to alter the instrument’s sound. The term “slide” in guitar lingo can refer to the neck of a bottle, a knife blade or a round metal bar that is used to create a glissando, or a gliding transition from one pitch to another. Such accessories are commonly used in blues and country music and sometimes in rock. Some guitars are even played exclusively with a slide, and these instruments are referred to as steel guitars.
Then there are those accessories designed to help with the logistics of playing the guitar. Guitar supports, for example, are an alternative to the commonly use footstool. This device lifts the guitar from the player’s knee, allowing the artist to keep both feet on the ground. Guitar armrests are designed to support the picking arm as it drapes over the guitar’s body. And the traditional guitar strap, of course, simply helps the guitarist by supporting the instrument when he or she is in a standing position.
