What is a good guitar guitar for heavy and grindy metal sounds?
Monday, February 22nd, 2010Alex S asked:
I want to find a cheaper guitar, (under $1000) that provides for a heavy and intense sound. I’m looking for a sound in the vein of As I Lay Dying, The Devil Wears Prada, Underoath, Pantera, Avenged Sevenfold (older sound), confide, our last night, Alesana, ect. Overall, just a Numeatal or metal core sounding guitar.

What thickness guitar strings should I get?
Friday, February 19th, 2010Josh asked:
I got my guitar (BC Rich Warbeast) 365 days ago (lol christmas 08) and have never changed the strings. My guitar stills sounds great IMO. I like to play hard rock and metal and want a great tone. 1. What are the differences between thin and thick strings? 2. If my low e string was 68 gauge, how would that sound? 3. Can you tell me more about strings in general?

What are good guitar exercises to start playing Metal solos?
Friday, February 19th, 2010Derek asked:
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.

What type of electric guitar should I buy?
Thursday, February 18th, 2010Dest B asked:
I have been playing acoustic guitar for a few years and have finally decided to buy an electric. I just have no idea what to buy. My price range is low ($450 max) and I would like to play a wide range of music. Everything from alternative to (some) metal. (i was advised to get a guitar with two hummbuckers). I also looked at some Schecters and like the feel of them. So you tell me, what brand, and model of guitar should i buy?
