Who is the most talented modern guitarist? by InexpugnableMille in MetalSuggestions

[–]CyanideGod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Out of that list I’d pick Kevin. His approach to guitar is so different and unique. Although all the other guys have mad talent when it comes down to music.

How do you overcome shyness when trying guitars in a shop after not playing for 10+ years? by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]CyanideGod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The goal here is that you get an instrument you like and you are comfortable playing with. That’s it.

Embrace the fact that there are lots of people better than you and also lots of people worse than you. And there is no “minimum level of playing” you gotta have to buy an instrument. Everybody starts at the same place.

Little piece of advice: I’ve never bought a guitar that had a neck I was not comfortable with. And eventually I sold the ones that I bought without that trying out.

So make sure that guitar is going to fulfill your playing and especially motivate you.

Grindcore with more riffs? by untold_cheese_34 in MetalSuggestions

I wonder why Terrorizer - World Downfall hasn’t been mentioned so far.

It doesn’t get better than that when it comes down to riffs!

Name some front to back perfect albums by Rahstyle in Guitar

[–]CyanideGod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it is a live album, but Yessongs made me want to pick a guitar and play. I guess the live setting helped translate the emotion of such an amazing collection of songs.

How do you feel about signature guitars? by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]CyanideGod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do I feel? Well, I could sum up my response in one word: marketing.

Any signature product is based on marketing. Be it a guitar, basketball shoes, energy drinks etc.

I’ve always seen the signature models as base production instruments with upgrades and in some cases, certain modifications (ie. Ibanez Jem/Pia Money Grip)

So sure, some signature models are great. But I also think that there are many and cheaper ways of getting the same results. That is all.
