MZA Guitar Dojo

[HokageSoulReaper]

A thread made to talk all about guitars and its accessories, playing techniques, how they sound (Amp talk is cool too), tunings.....you know, all guitar related stuff, Bass guitars are included too, if you feel like it, share what you own guitar/bass-wise

As for the guitar I call my own, it's an ESP LTD MH-100, Blue with a FR Tremolo

In Guitar related news, Did you know Peavey released the first guitar with auto-tune? I wonder if it'll become controversial or not in the guitar world

[AgentShayd]

I don't own a guitar but when I was in high school my boyfriend at the time did and he taught me to play a few songs. I loved it! I wish I would have taken lessons after he and I broke up. I love the guitar.

[HokageSoulReaper]

Cool, and it might be a good idea to pick a guitar in the future, never too late to learn

Well, to those that don't know, Traynor released the world's 1st stompbox amplifier, the DH25H Quarterhorse, with effects and a nice clean distortion too (meaning it's wise to use another stompbox pedal if you want a heavier overdrive/distortion) Still, an amp you can carry easily either to back up your amp or to use as your main amp seems quite convenient

If you're a Slayer fan and your favorite album from them is South of Heaven, you might like the ESP-LTD Limited Edition Slayer 2012 guitar, with South of Heaven's cover art painted in the guitar, but just like 2011's Reign In Blood guitar, it was made in a limited run

Now, I also ask you all, what are your favorite guitar solos?

The one you dated when you were 15?

I got a red Epiphone SG Special and a blue fade out black Mahar. Both beautiful guitars . I need to get strings for my SG so I can start playing again. I can't really play my Mahar all that well cause the strings are so high up from the neck.

For my favorite solo, I would say either Eruption, the solo from In This River by Black Label Society, or the solos from NIB by Ugly Kid Joe.

For those wanting to play guitar and can't afford lessons or just can't do them, and you have 1) a guitar 2)gaming system and 3)80 bucks I believe, you can get a game called Rocksmith. It's like Guitar Hero, but BETTER. You start out easy and learn some stuff, and you actually progress through it. Whenever you play a song, the game sees how well you did, and uses that to find out how hard or easy it should be the next go 'round.

[HokageSoulReaper]

Rocksmith also has a package which includes a Epiphone Les Paul Special 2 along with the game

Forgot to mention, Peavey Electronics released a guitar which has....Auto tune integrated to it

[Ino's Girl]

I don't know how to play, but i am gonna take lessons this year

[HokageSoulReaper]

Cool, and here's an advice: try to find a song you love and learn it quickly, so whenever you're in actual practice (chords, scales, etc.) if you get bored, take a break, play the song (or songs, if you learn more than one) and then go back to finish practice

That goes to everyone who might want to learn too

I can be your mentor P: ;D

@Hokage oh yeah, forgot about the guitar package. But to those interested, and only plan on getting the disc by itself, don't, you need a certain cord to plug in to the 360 from your guitar.

[HokageSoulReaper]

Same for PS3 users, think the cable is included with the game in both editions

[Cloukora]

it is, but I'm meaning someone wanting to by the game by itself. You have to buy the one in that little box thing. I don't know I can't describe it xD. It's about 80 bucks, maybe that will clear it up lol

But I wanna learn how to play the classical guitar, not the electric guitar xD

[Cloukora]

I can still teach you basic guitar stuff
acoustic and electric isn't much different besides sound, and you play solos and other tricks on electric

[HokageSoulReaper]

And it doesn't matter that much which one you use to learn, but if you learn on Acoustic first then move to Electric, you'll have stronger fingers

[HokageSoulReaper]

Gonna throw in a question.....are the Guitar Hero/Rock Band games good tools for guitarists to make their fingers stronger overall?

[AgentShayd]

I strummed a guitar the other day...does that count enough to warrant me a guitar player and able to post in this thread? xD

[HokageSoulReaper]

Well, yeah, I mean, I did said in the 1st post this is for ALL Guitar related things, but still, The Dojo's open for anyone, do hope someday you do decide to learn more guitar!

[Akatsuki Gord]

I used to play a Schecter C1+ through an Orange head and cab. The Orange produced such a nice sound, was well worth all the money it cost! I also had a Fender John5 acoustic which sounded nice but only played average IMO.

Had to sell it all last year though and haven't played since would like to pick up a cheap guitar soon though
