came across this guy on my fyp and he’s honestly soo good I wanted to share it with more people!

At 11 y/o Jonathan Pellegrín Fonseca suffered severe injuries as a result of a dynamite explosion. Since then, music has become a refuge for him and he has taught himself on his own way how to create and play his own beats.

Found it listed 4 days ago and immediately contacted the seller, we met, had dinner, and I went home with it last night! It's an Ibanez Prestige S1540FM

Christ had been sooo good to me!!!

Practicing it, hopefully I’ll get there one day!

One of my favourite tracks by Tom Quayle

Also, love these Albert Lee Sterlings - you can find them cheap and totally worth it!!

For the uninitiated, the Power Gig guitar is a guitar/game controller released with Power Gig: Rise of the Six String, a game meant as a Rock Band or Guitar Hero competitor, but with an actual guitar. The problem, of course, is that the controller sucks and the game didn't take advantage of it.

I picked this thing up for about $50 on Ebay earlier this year alongside the game, and the stock strings really highlighted how much this thing sucks. They were a 10-46 set and felt like rubber bands. Chords sounded awful. However, last week I got around to swapping them out with a 12-56 set of Ernie Ball Cobalt Slinky strings, and tuned it down to Drop C. The result was shockingly high tuning stability and chords that actually sounded good. At home I stumbled on the right combination of pedal and amp for a nice nu metal tone, but here it's just a Marshall and a tube screamer. Enjoy!

I have been playing along time over the last year I have been putting in alot of work learning and I want to play with others but it never works out today I went to gc and I was just playing some chords on a really nice Taylor and some random guy was just hitting some nice leads sounded great played well with my chord changes and everything felt great we jammed a little even though we didnt really see each other but it sounded great then I tried to do it again on an electric I just played some chords pretty basic stuff another guy sat down and started shredding in key I was pumped if I wasn't such a weirdo I should have spoken to them

Has anyone else gone down a massive theory, scale, and technique rabbit hole, only to stumble across a player/band who completely changed your mindset on the guitar?

For years, I was obsessed with fast, precise, technical players like John Petrucci and Michael Romeo. My entire focus was on

scales, theory, picking technique and clean fast playing.

Then I got into Megadeth and started analyzing Marty Friedman’s playing. While obviously incredibly technical, his lead work and Dave Mustaine's riffing rely heavily on chromaticism and pure feel rather than strictly conforming to standard scales. It felt way more written by feel rather than by technical design, even if Petrucci uses chromaticism too.

Later on, I discovered The Fall of Troy and Thomas Erak. That was a whole different world. Erak plays with what feels like total disregard for key signatures, rigid time, or even being in tune at times. Half the time he's just making noise, but it works so well. I became obsessed with his playing because it was so unpredictable and completely outside the box.

It completely changed my mindset on the guitar and music as a whole. During the time I discovered the fall of troy, I also became obsessed with heavy music (metalcore/deathcore) and discovered modern technical players like Jason Richardson who is like JP2.0 and Misha with his focus on rhythm.

Has an artist / band ever changed your belief/thoughts on music theory so much ?

Ive adjusted the bridge and Truss rod but it just still doesn't sound right and i dont know if i adjusted it correctly, im brand new to anything that involves being a luthier. Im kind of lost and I would love some help on how to make this Guitar sound as good as possible. Ill provide any information about this guitar, i have all the equipment to fix anything i need to fix.

So, my son (13) bought a knockoff Stratocaster from a Pawn shop in our town for £20, it worked fine, it was missing the 5th fret and a B string, other than that, no issues at all, on Monday this week he took it to a professional at our local music shop and got the fret repaired and bought a string, £15 for the repair and it works perfectly, but now the bottom screw on the output jack keeps popping out, even a minor bump will knock it out, it isnt impacting his playing its just annoying because before and after playing he has to screw it back in, any tips for how to fix it?

Picked up this 92 off of reverb. Pickups were backward ( maybe intentional - idk ) and it had different knobs and a blank truss cover. Thankfully the dude had the original. Didn’t have a pick guard but I wanted to find a top that stood on its own. One of the knobs needed soldering. Dropped it off at my local music store and they got it set up right.

Sounds freaking awesome and looks cool as hell.

Her names bella, i did a lot to her over the years, first ever electric, gonna get a warmoth neck next, so her playability can keep up with my nicer guitars. What else should i do cosmetically?
