If so, what causes them to sound different despite having the same pickups?

I got some beefy gauges that my regular cutter just is not gnawing through. What do you guys use for anything in that range?

Hey! A bit confused about how my signal chain should be. If I want to directly plug into a cabinet, should my rig include both a amp sim and power amp pedal?

I’m assuming amp sim pedal is to shape the sound and power amp pedal is just to amplify the signal? Isn’t a cabinet supposed to amplify it tho? I read about them but couldn’t set them straight. Thank you!!

Is it just me?

I am a guitarist and i would really like to audition with a good metal guitar solo. I am thinking about maybe playing necrophagist the stillborn one solo, but its really hard and its only like a month to my audition. Even though i would like to play a metal solo i will still take non metal solo tips

Im looking into learning YYZ (Alex's parts). Should there be any way to go about it. Should i look into other solos first to help me with his playing style?. I've learned Fly By Night, Limelight, Spirit Of Radio, Xanadu, and Tom Sawyer. Ive been playing for two years this March Thirtieth. Hope i can figure it out. Wish me luck, I will definitely need it.

Preferably a song that is easier than it looks

Despite being a longtime player, I’ve always let my knowledge of restringing and general guitar maintenance fall by the wayside so apologies in advance if this is an extremely stupid question. I restringed my guitar from some d’addarios to Ernie Ball slinkies, but I find them extremely stiff and uncomfortable to play in contrast to the d’addario strings. I bought them because I play black and death metal and I heard many good things about the slinkies. I tried fiddling with the saddles and the truss rod to no avail. I play a Squier Sonic Stratocaster. Is it the strings or is there another way to relieve the tightness that I’m missing?

I'm super bummed and feel like I won't be able to get another guitar as good. I do want a strat style instead. Any suggestions on something comparable?

If I lower the pickup height of some medium output pickups, would the result sound the same as low output pickups, or would there still be some sort of distinct unavoidable difference in sound?

I wanna know if it's a big enough difference to consider getting the big muff pi
