I’ve been contemplating getting a twelve-string electric for a few years now; I unfortunately don’t have any musician friends to ask in person and I have a less than stellar local music shop to head into as well.

As I’m still an amateur musician, the aesthetic of the guitar is still by far the most important thing to me and I love the way the paranormal looks. So, has anyone given this a go? Is it good for an amateur? If not, what would you recommend?

I'm looking for an mxr phaser pedal, or at least an alternative, I want exactly the mxr one hundred, but it's very expensive (at least where I live) and I don't know what could be an alternative, could someone please tell me an alternative for that pedal?

hi, im trying to learn tek it by cafune. whats the effect on the original song?

what are issues you have with literally anything to do with guitars (like getting is shipped, tools/toolkits for them). Im doing a project for design tech.

I am doing viva la vida right now and I want to play the guitar as I listen to the song from spotify but by the time I start the music on my pc, move my hand back to the guitar usually there is a delay so I can't start both at the same time. Can I do something to delay the spotify so give my hand some time move back to the guitar?

Yes, I tried finding it online but I couldn’t find it. I know someone will or ably find it out there but please don’t comment hates on me for not researching enough or smth. Any help is appreciated.

Hey guys quick question. I’ve had my guitar with a Floyd Rose on it since around Christmas and just last night when I was doing a dive I could hear what sounds like metal creaking. Staying in tune and nothing seems visually off . I’m assuming it’s the springs but should they be sounding like that after only a month and a half? Maybe mute the springs? Just getting ideas from you guys familiar with Floyd Rose’s. I’m somewhat but the only other guitar i had with one didn’t do this . Thank in advance.

Hey folks,

Wondering what people who play fingerstyle on electric guitar use for this purpose. I love playing fingerstyle on acoustic (both steel and nylon) and have never truly found a great way of translating it to the electric.

Two main questions:

- What type of guitar do you play?

- How is it set up? Higher or lower than what is typical?

- String gauges, any preference?

- Compressor pedals? any other effects helpful for this?

Any other info you think is relevant would be great!

Mine was all apologies by nirvana, the chorus definitely made barring easier got me

I realize this is a dubious question but I have a few things to consider as of right now and these two amps have the most interest of mine.

I like doom, but I like jazz. I like blues, but I like alt rock.

I struggle, and the two are quite different, at least to my knowledge. I enjoy the orange sound and have for quite some time, but I do see that the Mesa DC3 has quite a nice set of tones. Solid state vs tube is another factor for me to consider. I just wanna know yalls opinion as there isnt much to be found regarding the DC3, I like both but need to pull the trigger on something to scratch that physical amp itch

So I have a fender champion 20, I was playing it when it suddenly cut out. The power light is still lit and there’s not even a buzzing. Weirdly enough, my headphones work when plugged in. It also used to have a pop when it turned off but now the lights just fade to off, anyone know what gives?

my friend plays piano, i play guitar (and a little bit of piano, just chords). i learned guitar very informally and by myself: youtube videos and the like. i know how to read tab and ultimate guitar is my holy grail, and thats the extent of my guitar knowledge. i know i probably shouldve started with educating myself on exactly how chords work and how they are formed but whatever, i can play all the songs i want to play.

i was playing her a very simple song to teach her the basics and she asked a question i couldnt answer. i was showing her a c chord and she didnt understand how you could play a c chord when there was no c string. i then showed her the g chord and in this case you do use the g string to play the g chord. she thinks guitar chords are stupid because of this and i couldnt explain anything to her because i just have all the chord shapes memorized.

i kind of do get where shes coming from because from my knowledge of piano chords, c major chord you press on the c key, g major you use the g key.

anyways i guess i just want to clear that up, any help is appreciated! she kind of gave up on guitar because of that and it made me sad so.. yeah lol
