yea thanks a lot i guess imma need to get some pedals to make some tight sounds huh... its fun as hell but im still learning....
- boyofdestiny0
experimenting with pedals is one of the most fun parts

I have an old acoustic Epi.
It's an old, cheaper Epiphone model.
But it still sounds way better than most newer 'fancy' guitars.

yeah mine isnt that expensive its the MM1 by OLP i think...
I dont know how good it is compared to anything....
U guys know anything bout it?

I have a gibson THE Paul, a cheaper version of Les Paul without the arched top. No fancy chrome stuff and just dot inlays and so on. I love it. Like this one but without the flag:
A friend of mine has a 'The SG', the SG equivalent. I would like one of those aswell!
I'm thinking of buying a guitar with single coil mics. Any suggestions?

I got a fender tele '67, a gibson SG, and a gretsch, a plethora of pedals, most of which I never use live, and I play through a 5150 peavy head and a marshall cab.
the tele is nuts for clean tone, especially cos I replaced the stock bridge pick-up with a seymour duncan hotrail, and the SG is...well it's an SG - balls out if you wanna rock. the gretsch is a blues baby...

what are you trying to do? Sequence songs with a sampler? Your better off buying a Sample CD full of guitar licks from an accomplished artist for like $100, unless you planning on learning how to get going with Chord Progression and take countless guitar lessons or plan on teaching yourself.

my Hardware is here: http://www.machvinyl.com we mix electro with analog guitar sounds.

I just bought the GUitar to learn something new....
I also got a Midi Keyboard...imma try to do some original tracks instead of sampling every one of my moms favorite songs...

true, good luck, again you will want to learn some sequencer such as Logic, Cubase SX, Sonar, Pro Tools, etc. Those are the good ones. Maybe also learn to use some Rack-based sequencer software such as Reason 2.0 at http://www.propellerheads.se - it's much more than just an electronica production tool. They also have a nice littel beat/loop/riff slicer called ReCycle which is really the best. As for editing, Sound Forge 6.0 is really the industry standard, but Wavelab is also good especially for MAC. Good Luck :)

Jason_X has the right idea on appz. those are good. also a good beginning app that is easy to use is N-Track Studio ( http://www.fasoft.com ). straight forward plug in and record straight. nothing fancy, so it is a good one to start with.
my electric.
studio les paul. nice guitar. been thru hell with me though. haha.my favorite is my 1968 fender 12 acoustic. i wouldnt sell that one for anything. no pic though.
and ive had this shitty lil epiphone for years. it is nothing special, but it is good for carting around and beating on.
you ask a guy about his guitars and it is like asking a father about his kids. =)
hope you enjoy playing as much as i have.

The Edirol Midi keyboards are a good line as well as the Oxygen line.

hehe. i own. gibson SG, fender american strat, a cort les paul copy, and a jay turson electric/acoustic, with about 13 pedals, and a marshall half stack. i was a little hardcore in my teens especially.
anyhow. i found doing lame cord progressions so boring, so.... i think the best way to learn is just by buying a tab book from an artist u really like. and just learning to play along with what they're doing at first. it makes you not stop and fix what you're doing, and just go with what you hear. makes you more fluid. then try branching off and playing different styles... blues, jazz, etc. it's all just practise.
have fun :)

Man you can record one fucking chord in Sound Forge, import it into Reason and play it with the NN-XT sampler. You can play an actual recorded guitar and then play it with a MIDI keyboard like I do and then sequence it as MIDI notes along with other racks in that program. It rocks, total freedom!!
- unknown0
you can also do that with Vocals and then tweak them and harmonize them. So much to do with things like that and like every program it isn't what it seems on the surface BUT SO MUCH MORE!

thanks for all the help guys....
I was messing wit that guitar all night....i broke a string :-(...im having trouble tuning that bad boy and that sucks...
i just cant wait till i know the basics so i can start making those Rock and Roll sounds that are soooooooooo tight.....haha then incorporate them into some hip hop or something...something different...
speaking of reason...i musta seen this dude from my school on it and he pushed a button the thing flipped around and it was like the back of real hardware...that really blew my mind...
anyway anybody know anything about the MM1...can i get some pros and cons.. lol

Speaking of learning to play the guitar: have anyone of you played the sims and let your sim learn to play the guitar? You start out just tuning and then it's the natural progress with cords and licks as the guy gets better. It's funny, every guitarist has gone down that road.

Yeah Reason, is just a studio set up in pone package. You can in fact flip the back of it and connect your wires to whatever and wherever. It's crazy! That thing is much more than just a techno production tool. However, 90% of people think otherwise. I will post a song here in a couple of days that was produced with Reason and Sound Forge. You'll dig it.
