@Ido:
If you download Power Tab Editor (freeware version of Guitar Pro), you can download Power Tabs which are a combination of traditional sheet music and tab.

Example:

Ook.
I really don't like my distortion, it's a Big Muff copy.
Tried out the Big Muff, didn't like it either.
Any recommendations for a good... oh how to put it... alternative? distortion?

The best on the market, IMHO, is the Seymour Duncan Twin Tube Mayhem. But if you can't shelve out around $250 or so, I'd go with a BOSS Metal Zone pedal, or that Metal Master from DigiTech.

I tried out the Metal Zone, frankly the thing is total crap.
I'm looking for something with slightly less gain.

Post subject:  Re: The all things Guitar Disscussion

Yeah, Metal Zone is ok...

...if you like to sound like you're playing through a half pressed-down wah pedal.
Get a Boss DS-1 or SD-1. I've tried both and they're both pretty good. Also, they're cheap.

Yeah, Metal Zone is more for the harder stuff, same with the TTM. You know what I havent tried? One of them Boss Blues Drivers things.

I'm thinking about getting a Flying V eventually.
Good idea?

Great Idea, actually. Go for it.

Cool. Would an Epiphone be as good as a real Gibson?

IMHO, I'd go for a gibson, but if you can't afford it, then take the Epiphone. Keep in mind, you may have to get one of those crappy Epi Goth V's ; I haven't been to a Guitar Center or Music Store that has any other kind of Epiphone V than that, but it may be different where you are.

Post subject:  Re: The all things Guitar Disscussion

This is the only Epiphone V on the Guitar Center site. It's probably what I'll end up getting.

Epiphone is great. I was actually considering getting the Thunderbird bass or an SG.

Thunderbird Epi Bass. Great Price, and ALOT more inexpensive than the Gibson model.

No clue.
But I love the fretboard inlays.

Post subject:  Re: Random Thoughts - ramrod is pathetic (in ssbb)

The Inlay is the Metalocalypse Logo. I'm gonna keep this in C and keep my regular Explorer in standar/drop D... My god this will be awesome.

I knoooow it's so great! I think I'd play it in standard.
lol jk

Also, about Kingdom of the Crystal Skull:
"The film will need to gross at least US$400,000,000 to make a profit for Paramount."
That is not a small number.

The only thing that turns me off about the guitar is where the second strap button is located. I don't like having it where it is on a Strat, I like having it in the back! Makes the strap stay on better IMHO.

lol im playing it in standard tuning

Author:  iand93 [ Mon May 26, 2008 4:29 am ]
Post subject:  Re: Random Thoughts - ramrod is pathetic (in ssbb)

I'll switch tunings because I only have one guitar at the moment and I'll probably have to sell it to get this one.

Post subject:  Re: Random Thoughts - ramrod is pathetic (in ssbb)

Explorer + EMGs + inlays + pickguard + Dethklok name + already high instrument price = Very expensive

Author:  iand93 [ Mon May 26, 2008 4:35 am ]
Post subject:  Re: Random Thoughts - ramrod is pathetic (in ssbb)

Very yes.
Btw, I actually tuned down to Drop G# one time. It was like playing rubber bands.

Author:  Word Up [ Mon May 26, 2008 4:35 am ]
Post subject:  Re: Random Thoughts - ramrod is pathetic (in ssbb)

I did the same. Since the neck was in such bad shape though, there was a lot of rattle.
Edit: Oh, you can add to the equation "- Epiphone" if you want.

Ah. I just realized we should be talking about this in the guitar thread.

And that we're the only ones on besides BTG.
