Ereth asked:


I’m planning to get an electric guitar and I want to play green day songs. I’ve never played guitar before. Do you know any good guitars that sound like billie joe’s? Any guitars that sound like his that are under $1,000? What amp does he use? How can I make my amp sound like his? I don’t have an amp yet. Do you know any good amps? Thanks SO much!

I noticed that guitars that were played in the 70’s and the 80’s sound alot different from today. And frankly, I think Rock music in the past is alot better. Just wondering what kind of guitar was played at that time? .

Adrien asked:


I am thinking of either a Gibson/epiphoneSG or Les Paul, fender strat, ibanez RG, or a gidon. I play mostly different kinds of rock but I still want a verstile guitar. You are probably going to say to try them out and I will but I need to narrow down my chooses. Thanks in advance!

N the Zone asked:


I’m going to learn how to play the electric guitar and need to buy a new guitar and need to know what an average price for one would be. I don’t want to buy a cheap one and have to buy a more expensive one down the road, I’d rather buy a good one now. And if you know any online sites that list that kinda info, that would be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

JOZ asked:


I know that Malcolm uses Gibson Heavy Guage Strings, but i couldn’t find any at my local guitar center. I tried Ernie Ball Beefy Slinky’s and those sounded bad and the action was really high. What are good heavy guage guitar strings that have low action and a really good low AC/DC Malcolm Young tone?
