If I made a lot of money I wouldn't buy expensive things. I would work less. Just enjoy life as you please. Don't feel like it's expected to get nice things just because You make a lot of money.
Great guy. He was one of the first, if not the first, to do weekly guitar lessons on YouTube and that got me hooked back in the day. Hopefully something good is in store for Dave.
A power chord (5 chord, root and a fifth) doesn't have any thirds in it so you can play either major or minor without the sounds clashing. Especially if the bass is only playing root notes.
I have a Fender Player Strat (HSS) that's great. I'm not sure if Charvel dk24s are made in the same factory but if they are I'm sure they are really good guitars.
I also have an HSS Schecter Nick Johnston signature that's really great. Especially for the money it costs.
Guest solos rarely does it for me. Vai is out of his comfort zone and I get why the idea is appealing in theory but the result is often pretty bland. I don't want Scott and Tim to do solos on Vai songs either.
I think the only way is to have a real collaboration where both artists write the...
I'm not sure if you're serious but are you telling your family about this choice? Family always comes first and if you usually go on a vacation during winter you will probably get a lot of shit for spending the money on gear instead. However, if You got some extra cash on hand and plan on...
Yeah, they never appealed to me. For me it's for guitar players that want to express "look at my guitar" rather than "look/listen to what I play". That's not exclusive to burl guitars though. Most over the top-guitars make me feel that way.
My experience with online lessons tells me that they are best suited if you want to be learn new stuff but not so for technical analysis. If you meet someone in person they can look at for example your picking from all the angles. If it's on Skype with a shaky webcam it's not the easiest to show...
I still have around 10 guitars but since I bought a Strat (MIM, Player series) two years ago I haven't played any of my other guitars. And while I still get GAS I have no plans on buying any new guitars. A Strat and a Helix is everything I need so I will probably sell my other guitars and only...
This late into the career of Mustaine he sounds great and the songs sound cool. I never expect new masterpieces from people that were in their prime 30 years ago so I have no complaints.
Started with jazz 3, went to the purple dunlop 1.5 (the pick Yngwie used to use I believe) and now I use Flow 1.5 picks. I bought a variety pack of Flow picks and like both the 1.0 and 1.5. It feels great!
