In my honest opinion Les Pauls are amazing and very versatile in the way they play. They are incredibly perfect to fit the rock, hard rock, some metal, and pretty much any other playing style. As for choosing between Gibson and Epiphone, Epiphones are considerably cheaper and may sometimes just fit better for someone who isn't going to be insane on the guitar or just make it a hobby.I myself own an Epiphone Les Paul Standard and have loved it ever since I started playing. If you're really interested in a career in music, then you may want to go with a Gibson. I wish you luck on your search.<a href="http://www.businessbrokersguide.com/colorado-business-broker.htm"> Taylor</a> Hello,

]]> Comment on What guitar strings are good to get the Malcolm Young tone on my SG? by John http://bigguitarshop.com/blog/what-guitar-strings-are-good-to-get-the-malcolm-young-tone-on-my-sg-2/comment-page-1/#comment-7078 John Thu, 11 Mar 2010 05:34:48 +0000 http://bigguitarshop.com/blog/what-guitar-strings-are-good-to-get-the-malcolm-young-tone-on-my-sg-2/#comment-7078 Joz, You might have had the right strings, but with the action too high ANY strings will sound like crap since you have to push down so far the intonation goes completely off. Get those thick strings again, and pay just $30 to Guitar Center to setup your guitar for those strings. I bet you get an instant WOW when you get it back. You really do need the thick strings for the good tone - theres also a lot of their tone in the guitar and the pickups and the amp though.

A good Gibson will run around $1200. The prices will vary depending on the model you chose and where you buy it. If at all possible, you should go to some music shops and try some guitars. No one else can tell you what model guitar you will find most comfortable to play and what model guitar you like the sound of best. Which neck I think is easiest to play and which body style feels most comfortable to me, may not be the one you like. It really is a matter of personal taste. What type of music you intend to play and your personal playing style will have an effect on your chocie of guitar. In addition to the Les Paul and the Strat, Ibanez has some very good guitars (I like the RG series), PRS makes a good guitar. Jackson/Charvel makes a good guitar (perhaps suited more for metal than all around playing). After you get the names of some brands and models, you narrow down which ones you select to try out by going to Harmony Central and reading the user reviews. That will give you more information about each from the folks who own those models. Then you will have an idea of a few models you want to test. Go to some music stores and try those models. Then you are ready for price comparisons to find the best deal.. By the way, you should be aware that the amp is an important part of your sound and should not be just an after thought. A great guitar played through a lousy amp will sound lousy. A mediocre guitar played through a great amp will sound pretty decent. So plan on spending about half your budget on your amp.

That tone comes from your heart, soul, years of practice, and your fingers. Forget the heavy guage set of strings and go for a D'Addario 10-46 guage. I use 9-42's myself but I do a lot of string bending.<a href="http://www.pdabuyingguide.com/pda-accessory-kits-9132"> Stan</a> There are no magical set of guitar strings that will give you Malcolm Youngs tone.

]]> Comment on How do I become a better guitar player without lessons? by Kurt http://bigguitarshop.com/blog/how-do-i-become-a-better-guitar-player-without-lessons/comment-page-1/#comment-7100 Kurt Wed, 10 Mar 2010 20:19:52 +0000 http://bigguitarshop.com/blog/how-do-i-become-a-better-guitar-player-without-lessons/#comment-7100 Simply stated, play. Start playing and singing now!, Start singing and playing for longer periods and more often. If you play 30 minutes a day, start playing an hour a day. Anyone who is great at anything has gotten there by putting hours and hours of time into their craft. Lessons will certainly speed up your progress in playing, but there's no rule stating you can't attempt to teach yourself. Tabs are a great guide into learning a song from scratch, just remember that tabs are not law! Most tabs on the internet are dead wrong anyways, take freedom with your playing. Keep it enjoyable, learn songs that you love. Sure you can work on your technique by learning Mozart, but how much fun is that going to be, and how hard will you work at something you don't enjoy.<a href="http://www.healthstorebargains.com/srch/srch.php?q=DHEA"> Kurt</a> Simply stated, play.
