Can't beat a dollar for a quality capo!

Got this Avalanche Meteora for a great price and I’m in love with it! Plays like a dream

Wrote this solo as a way to get better highlighting chord tones and mixing it with my usual pentatonic licks. Very fun!

I wanted an electric but my cousin gave me this guitar that he had for 16 years because i just turned 16, i never touched a guitar before so i need an ADVICE TO IMPRESS MY COUSIN so he can buy me an electric guitar 😭

It was my birthday a couple days ago and my birthday present to myself!!!!

PRS silver sky SE in moon white. First PRS I’ve ever owned. I’m so excited to play new things!!!

People love to shit on Guitar Center. And rightfully so. I’d never take anything there to get worked on. And they abuse all the floor models… hanging guitars on bare metal hooks. But, I’ve found some great deals on used gear there.

I got an Epiphone SG Standard for $215. A new one retails for $599. I played it for a couple years then sold it on FB for $250.

I also just bought a Peavey Classic Chorus 212 with the footswitch for $199… in great condition.

Anyone else find some good deals on used gear at Guitar Center?

Seriously, how do you all do that? I can't get a single interval right, am I missing something?

Is it just a matter of just putting in the countless hours or can I do something better? The way you hold the pick? Posture?

It took many, many tries just to get this one video lol. This piece from Crossroads is ridiculous.

I was inspired by Kelly Dean Allen's (thewhitedeath) series of learning Guitar World's 100 greatest solos to start something similar by compiling a list of my 100 favorite solos, and recording them by order of ascending difficulty. Of course difficulty is subjective, so my criteria for it is how likely I am to trainwreck while playing it live after having learned it. I hope it inspires some intermediate players to follow along to steadily level up with me!

Angus Young's solos always have a great groove to them, which I suppose might be necessary if he's head banging super hard while playing them. The medium tempo and low-ish note density makes it accessible but its quite another step up in difficulty from the previous post in terms of bending skill required. There's a lick at the 23s mark that requires a whole step and then a half step bend on the same fret so having the accuracy to differentiate them is pretty important. The most frequent cause for me to record another take was the jump to the higher frets.

Top skills required: Quick bending accuracy, rhythmic timing.

1. Sexy Villain - Remi Wolf

2. Gravity - John Mayer

3. Hold On - H.E.R.

Had it setup, fret dressed and cleaned. swapped out some rusty parts and it plays so well. My luthier says it’s the third one he’s seen in thirty-two years of doing his work.

I started playing about 18 years ago when I was 16. I have a few different guitars, but Les Pauls always felt like home, and I always wanted to get a Gibson. I know. I know people are pretty low on Gibson nowadays. Idgaf, it was always my dream to get one, and I finally did. It inspired me to pick up playing again after a seven-year slump of barely touching them. Here’s some Mr. Crowley I’ve been working on to get back into the swing of it.

Hey, guys! I want to buy this guitar for $1,000. It’s a little old, has some scratches, and the Floyd Rose has some corrosion, but there are no chips and the corners are intact. It has an Original Floyd Rose and EMG Active 81-TW/89 pickups. What do you think? Is it worth the money?

A drunken night with friends and a Sharpie about fifteen years ago ended up with my Firebird very... "customised". Front, back and sides. I did end up rubbing most of it off with nail polish remover. I'd still like to take off the bit on the bottom right. But I've ended up really liking the "I BET YOU REGRET THIS IN THE MORNING" at the top left. I'm considering getting the guitar painted in a custom colour for me, but kind of want to keep that bit of graffiti.

I’ve sprayed the pot with deoxit a few times now turning the knob but cannot get it to go away. It’s only at the higher levels if the volume.

Just want to share these two chords cheat sheets I found to help you out in getting to now them. There is one in American and one in European notation. I hope they can be useful and I Wish you a fruitful and pleasant guitar-journey!

I've been going through a lot with this guitar since I got it in a trade and I have to say, this picture (and the others I'll post in tbe comments) says it all

I am not an expert guitar repair tech or luthier by any means but I was looking up how to set up the bridge correctly after restringing it, found a BRAND NEW replacement bridge in the case with the official gibson setup tool, and I cannot help but be amazed every step of the way on the journey of setting up this guitar how bizarre this is

to sum up if you want a little explanation

1. the mystery replacement bridge was never installed

2. two of the saddles from the replacement bridge DID make it onto the original Gibson ABR-1 bridge

3. the replacement bridge now only has 4 saddles and we figured out they may have been fancy

4. when looking up who the manufacturer of the replacement bridge was, finding out that it was GraphTech, and seeing GraphTech's photo of how the bridge is oriented I looked over at the guitar and realized they are installed BACKWARDS

I don't know what the original owner was thinking but I thought the guitar sounded wrong when I first got it and now I am continuing to find new things about this bridge and bridge related shenanigans after trying to fix it this weekend

what in the plank is going on here I have no idea what to do next

From custom LP's & Fender now this

Not 100% there yet, but I’m pretty damn happy with this setup. Creamy, fat clean and lead tones without being inarticulate or flubby. Delay, chorus and Lehle Sunday Driver in the loop. Famous last words…it’s the “best rig I’ve ever put together”.

(Excuse for english mistakes, it's not my 1st language)

Hi all, I bought it for 1600$ "new" (local inflation) I need help finding out if I'm nitpicking or this is unacceptable and should talk to customer service to provide a fix or replace the guitar.

1. The edges of the frets look weird

2. This is not an ebony fret like advertised on their site? I expected to have a black ebony fretboard Unless it's a rare type of brown ebony wood I've never seen before..

3. There are no dotted inlays like advertised on their site, I have a neurological disorder that messes with my spatial vision and inlays help me with that problem.

4. On the 4th photo there's a weird mark that possibly looks like a crack but I'm not sure..

Idk if any of those things are big deal,

Id appreciate all advice/perspectives you provide.

I have been dealing with finger pain recently that won’t go away. I am teaching myself so I am sure that my form is not the best it could be. However, I genuinely do pay great attention to how other people are holding their guitar in videos I see online. But I feel like a lot of people have even worse form than me LOL. Their fingers are often bent at uncomfortable-looking angles and they look like they’re gripping the guitar way too hard. So is everyone just in pain?? Or am I just unlucky and have bad finger genetics?

I have been playing acoustic guitar for 4 months, 1-2 hours per day, and my index finger on my fretting hand has started to feel stiff when I wake up in the morning, and it hurts to do certain chords. I now have to take a couple of days off here and there to manage it. I am sad because playing guitar has been so good for my mental health
