What type of guitar will give me the most sustain?
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?

Sorry for the redundant questions, but I find that I get better answers when I do so.

I dont want or expect to be a wicked ass solo player like Herman Li or anything. I just want to be able to play some crunchy rythm guitar. Would it be really hard for a bassist to play rythm guitar in the same style of music?

Daniel M asked:


I’m brand new to the mac, i purchased my first about a week ago, and I love it. But I’m trying to record my guitar directly into garage band, using the microphone jack on the back of my iMac. I don’t want to use the built in microphone, cause its not good enough quality for what I’d like to do. Is there any way to record directly into garage band, or some other free software that I can use to record directly?

Slow down tracks?

Guitar spin as in the one where they spin their guitars around their shoulders. Even if they have wireless systems, the guitar is still connected to a transmitter. So how do they do it without the transmitter flying or something?
