Ok thanks. Most likly I'll go with that packege I found... That Squier one looks really nice, but I'd have to end up buying a lot more, and it would get expensive... And besides I like the blue color you can get with the Ibanez Cheesy

Thanks for all your help.

Hehehehemuahahahahahaha

Nah, I wouldnt have it that loud... Just loud enough to make them want to put earplugs on from a mile away. Or not.
But seriously, I wouldnt play it loud enough to bug ppl like that, unless the amps volume can't go that low... In which case I'd probably use that headset

Listening to someone learning to play a musical instrument is very similar to experiencing an extreme form of medieval water torture.... Angry

Sorry if this is a bit late, but if you haven't brought one yet go into a music shop and ask to play the electic guitars and amps within your price range, i did yesterday and played a lovely mexican strat, but sadly that was 400 quid!, so i got a Squier strat and a 20w roland amp for 160 quid, and its 10x easier to play than my acoustic!

Sure, I'm on vacation now. When I get back in town, I can provide you with lots info, basically, it's how rhythmn in various forms of extreme metal is played. If your parents enjoy extreme metal, they'd love it! Wink

No, it's not too late! Thanks for the suggestion, I might try that. Btw, it won't be too late for a while yet if anyone else has any suggestions...

Lol, hmmm.... do they enjoy metal or not... erm.... no.

Also, another random question... If you've listened to Finding Out by Stellar Kart... If not, here then click music then track 6 on the first cd. The intro. How do they do that distort thing? Is that all with that little tone dial, or would I need something else? Thanks

That sounds like a wah-wah pedal. It is a footpedal that you rock it with your foot sweeps the tone from low to high. When you rock it at a moderate pace, you can get your guitar to sound funky. But it appears the guitar player on that tune rocked it slowly from low to high while picking the guitar fairly fast to get that effect. Wah-wahs are fun effects to play with.

I'm partial to Epiphone guitars, and if your looking for something easy to play, inexpensive, great tone quality, and very, VERY sexy looking, I'd recommend going with their Gothic G-400. Everything on it (except the nickel plated Humbuckers) is black.

But, if you want something with the exact same quality that's not so METAL go for a red or cherry sunburst Les Paul.

Both under 1K. Bought used (like my Epiphone G400) you can get a $600 guitar for $200. $600 being the factory new prics, $200 being the street (used) price.
Hope this helps.

Oh, yes, check out the Epiphone website -------> www.epiphone.com

Cheers,
Ein.

I like Epi's too, but I think a decent Epi is out of his price range.

This is my Epi Les Paul, it has 7 strings!
