Title: Guitar
Post by: pike on February 11, 2010, 07:48:22 PM
Man I love playing guitar. Just bought one of these last week:

http://www.jacksonguitars.com/products/products.php?group=Dinky-Body&page=1&product=2911000803

I have that same blue color only a little darker

It's very low action which makes it perfect for playing fast metal riffs and it all around kicks ass

Anyone else play?

Ooh look at me, I'm cool because I play guitar. Let me talk about how I play guitar in this thread instead of posting it in the other recent thread on here about guitars so that more people can see how cool I am because I play guitar.
Seriously, like one in four dudes play the guitar. Play something cooler like the sitar or banjo and then I'll be impressed.

sitar would be sick but banjo? LMAO it's not like MHK is in the hills of Tennessee or something. I do have a Ukulele which is fun to play but playing guitar rapes it sideways

One of my best friends from high school plays guitar for Taylor Swift.  I'm going to assume that makes me at least semi-cool for being friends with him.  Otherwise, I hate guitar players.  Always like, hey I play the guitar, look at me.  Hey girls, I play the guitar wanna hear a green day song I learned.  No....ok that's cool. 

I'm pretty sure the coolest instrument one could play is the harmonica, as you can carry it in your pocket and whip it out at opportune times.

Someone stole mine. Roommate had a party with a bunch of effs from high school a few months back. Come back and it's gone. They were all people I knew/somewhat friends with too. I figured shutting my door and having it out away in my room would be fine. Especially since I knew everyone there. Nope, came back the following week from going home that weekend and it was gone. I hate people.

1968 Vox, although if we're being real I think that costs somewhere between $10,000 and $15,000.

Don't know about overdrive pedal. Like my hughes kettner tube factor, but find it a little clean. would probably have to be a combo of things.

Then pedal box and cables.

First off, that's a jazzmaster. Second off, jaguars have a distrinct and separate sound from a strat. Not particularly fond of strats.

Let me rephrase that: jag's have a separate and distinct sound from the strat that I enjoy playing more. Strats are great guitars, but I don't particularly play solos or look to do traditional song writing, and don't really look to the strat as the answer to the particular tone I want to create while playing. The Dot I posted would take care of anything the jazzmaster wouldn't, and would allow more flexibility than just getting a strat.  :cheers:

Also, I'm attempting to learn lap slide guitar. Does anyone have any tips?

oh man i would get a big muff for sure asava

that's not just any big muff. those things are pretty legendary. still not an overdrive, though, and it isn't the only sound i would want when things get loud.
