Cable Length.

Hi all. I just play at home and was wondering at what point does the signal deteriorate due to cable length. I currently have a 20ft cable going to my board then a 10ft cable going to the amp. I know being just an at home player it wouldn't matter, I was just curious and wanted to hear others thoughts on the subject. Cheers 👍

Advice on buying an ESP through ZenMarket

Hey there,

so I really want to get an E-II M-II, but availability here in Europe is absolutely atrocious. I've scoured the Internet for options and one would be to buy it through ZenMarket. I've heard good things about it, but I'm still unsure if I should do it. I've found a seller named BigBoss on Yahoo Shopping. Is that the official store front of the well-known guitar store? Any advice or experiences (shipping, customs, prices) with buying from ZenMarket?

Thx for your answers!

Wondering if this captures the 80s hard rock feel

I’ve been reading up on rhythm guitar and practicing different rhythms using syncopated chords. I am wondering if this is capturing the feel of 80s hard rock well enough. If not, what adjustments would you make?

I know the guitar sound itself may not be super realistic, but I’d appreciate feedback on the composition and style itself more than the tone. If you think it’s close, great! If not, any suggestions on how to bring it closer to that authentic 80s hard rock sound would be awesome. Are there specific rhythm or phrasing tweaks you’d recommend to nail that feel?

Thanks in advance for any constructive thoughts!

Where should I start?

Good morning everyone. So I been playing off and on for a long time. I know enough to be able to play simple songs but not enough practice to be able to go fast like some of my more favorite songs go. I wanna get back into practicing and learning. Mostly leaning on rhythm playing. I can play things like deftones, simple megadeath and Metallica, some Acid Bath and some Black Sabbath but I wanna be able to play more death and complicated thrash. Where should I start?

How do you learn about guitar tone and get inspo

Hi , so I've been playing guitar for about 7 years now, and I'd say I'm OK at playing (I'm not amazing at all compared to a lot of people I know who have been playing for that length of time), and I've seem a lot of people(or guitarists I guess) who are my age/have my experience who all know so much about guitar tones and what different pickups and guitar models and amps do, and I've realised I don't really know much about any of it at all. I really want to be a professional guitarist, and this feels like a barrier between me and that.

Really, I was just wondering how everyone learns about how to get different tones and how to get one you really like, and how to go about finding guitarist who inspire you (at the moment I just sort of listen to bands I like and say I take inspiration from the band and not the guitarist). I have no idea where to start with learning about it. I guess YouTube might help but I wanted to ask if anyone knew a good starting point

(I do know some bits about tone - like ik about chorus, reverb, delay, gain, etc, but it's more the putting it all together and getting the levels)

Iron Maiden style harmonized leads, should guitars be down the center? Slightly panned? Hard panned?

Hey there, the title says the question. Been trying to figure it out for a while but can never seem to figure out if its panning or my playing or something, but in general what happens with harmonies like this? Are they just panned slightly from each other or down the center? Thanks in advance

DIY project

DIY project

So I’ve been building guitars for about a year and usually just buy DIY kits from Solo guitar and other places but for my next project I want to have a very very custom design and I need to order a bunch of parts separately is there any sites that ship to AUS that have that?

Context: I am wanting to build a X shaped guitar with a floating trem and reverse head stock.

I saw some necks on Ali express but I don’t know the quality so thought I might as you guys.

Shred Help!

Hey I've been playing for about 2 years now and I've been wanting to learn how to shred but I feel like my fretting hand is too slow and my picking hand is too fast, any advice? (Also comparisons to weightlifting would also be helpful becuase I'm more knowledgeable in that but anything helps)
