shamun_sage asked:


I’m 15 years old and I want to learn how to play the guitar, and I’m planning on taking lessons. Is it too late to start learning? What are the basics of learning guitar? What kind of guitar do I buy when starting? I’ve played piano for the last 5 years but I quit because I’ve lost interest and I didn’t practice. However, I been listening to alot of guitar pieces and I’m really interested. Is guitar, like piano for me, one of those instruments that gets boring after a while?

What type body gives the most sustain?
What playing habits will give me the best sustain?
What guitar strings will give me the most sustain?
Do pickups effect sustain?
What type of guitar wood gives the most sustain?

I heard that two EMG humbuckers are the industry leader for sustain. Is this correct?

I’ve been playing guitar for 2 1/2 years and I can play a lot metal riffs but when I get to the solos I can do any thing so what are good exercises to improve my fingers in that area. I also struggle with songs that have intricate rhythms, particulary megadeth songs. I know minor pentatonic, major and minor harmonic and minor melodic scales. I play mostly thrash metal songs.
