I'd actually go even further, and say showmanship. I can imagine at some nights you're entirely worn out from touring and doing the same show 3-4 nigh...
Yeah, S1120's recommendation about getting your guitar set up would be really good. If you know anyone who's good with guitars they can probably help ...
Everyone has his own opinion obviously, but any Peavey Vypyr will be good for Rock and Metal. They're the best amps for those genres at that price poi...
Hi there and welcome!I would not recommend getting the Marshall MG. There are way better amplifiers for the same price. Considering your taste in musi...
The biggest difference in sound will come from your amplifier and pedals. The most important part, in my opinion, is playability for you. If the guita...
I would stay away from BC Rich and similar brands. The high end models are really good (which is probably why Alan recommended it), but the budget gui...

My blues heroes are Muddy, Son House and Blind Willie Johnson, but if we think the blues died with Muddy, we miss what's going on in our own era. I l...
Cliffs of Dover is awesome. It has some nasty parts (= difficult) but it's really rewarding to finally make it through those.
There's a reason I say "from what I hear" instead of stating it as a fact, I'm aware of the difference, so thanks for pointing that out. :wink: I don...
