I personally use jazz IIIs but I can play usually just as well with any pick as long as they are above like one point one mm. The big thing for me is if the pick has been broken in, like as you play, the pick is filed down to fit your picking technique and once it is broken in it just flows perfectly and smoothly. I just recently lost my favorite pick that was perfectly broken in and I’ve noticed a pretty big difference in my playing now that I’m using a brand new pick. Does anyone else relate?

A few months ago I got my first guitar, it is a Squier Stratocaster.

I tried to re string it myself, but after some minor struggles I decided to take it to a guitar center to get it restrung. They re-string it for me, when I get it back the Low E string is buzzing even when being played open. I take it back to the guitar center and they look at it, but they tell me that don't know what is wrong with it. They said they checked everything that could be causing the issue (according to them at least). I am lost and not sure what to do. I am super inexperienced and I don't want to touch it myself at risk of only worsening it.

What should I do?

So I have pretty sweaty hand while playing and my strings always corode within a couple of weeks, even coated strings. What brand or specific strings would you recommend?

How do we feel about it?

I have Cubase pirated but I don’t have license key and need help getting one pls give help below

can you guys recommend any good tutorial (which explains everything) not just like a single video of tips.
thank you

How will I ever switch back to Ernie or D’Addarios?

When y'all string your guitars and plan to drop tune, do you leave much string hanging at the top or does it not matter much? I've never drop tuned before but I definitely want to. Any advice is appreciated!

Hey everyone, so I started playing electric guitar in February, and posted myself playing the chorus to one of my favorite bands on my insta story and they asked me to come up on stage and play with them during their show on Monday!!

I have never played in a band (although I want to) and I've never played in front of anyone except for my dad, best friend, and a couple girls on Facetime 😂 I've been playing along with their live performances to try and get the timing and everything down.

I've played in a few pro soccer games with much bigger crowds so I don't get too much anxiety from that, except the fact that they're going to watch me play guitar which I've barely ever done in front of anyone lol.

Any tips on how to deal with the inevitable stagefright for a first performance in front of over a thousand people? Or mentalities to approach this with?

I’ve been wanting to start a band for the longest time, and I might finally have an opportunity. The only problem being, I don’t know if I have all the right gear. Currently, I have an electric guitar, a pretty solid amp, a pedal (reverb/chorus) and an acoustic-electric. Is there anything else I should know about to enhance my sound/quality? Thanks 🙏🏾

i’ve been learning the pentatonic (?) scale and it’s the first time i’ve REALLY used singular string. When playing singular strings, are you meant to use a guitar pick or not? i’m finding it difficult to use one but i can’t strum chords without one so it’s a difficult situation for me lol. i’m manoeuvring my guitar pick between my fingers like spinning a pencil. any help is appreciated
