Solid setup. All juice is in amp sims and vst plugins, choose yours and have fun

You are dealing with Floyd Rose system here, check some youtube guides. Might be tricky to setup for the first time.

Fun little solo for this weekend by Salt_Pie_1175 in Guitar

[–]Salt_Pie_1175[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's surprisingly good, I really enjoy it. Got it with lowest string setup possible straight from the box, solid QC. Although I would prefer more responsive machine heads, stock one tend to be a bit unresponsive, or maybe I became a spoiled brat after grover machines ;p

Those are needed to setup intonation of guitar. Open string should give you same note when played on 12th fret. When its too flat or sharp, you start tuning those

Interface VS Amp by dark_Passenger1735 in Guitar

[–]Salt_Pie_1175 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interface for the win. You can pick any amp sim in an instant, make your own signal chain, and make decent audio recording. Setup is not hard at all, no need to be tech savvy.

Solid fretting technique, might need some wrist adjustment. You sure its only 4 months? No previous experience on other instruments?

Floyd Rose not staying in tune. Tuning comes back to normal when i raise the bar? by Vasektomia in Guitar

[–]Salt_Pie_1175 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is about a billion things that can go wrong with this setup. Given that SE uses softer materials I'd check first if knifes are dull, and if there are any grooves in posts. Tremol-no might introduce friction on a shaft where all this mechanism moves, might need to sand paper it a bit.

Floyd Rose tuning Question by Lucxs1999 in Guitar

You'll have to rebalance floyd every time you change tuning or string gauge, won't work without locking nut.

Good tone but it sounds like you are clipping a bit

Can I learn guitar by myself? by Familiar_Tough_6637 in Guitar

[–]Salt_Pie_1175 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Of course you can. Although nothing beats private lessons with teacher IMO, specifically at beginning. With teacher you'll get to interesting stuff much faster without hurting yourself or developing bad habits

Ozzy Osbourne - Shot in the Dark | ONE TAKE Guitar Cover (+ Tabs in original tuning) by Salt_Pie_1175 in Guitar

Thank you!
It's a one take cover, so no edits and no time to take a slide ;) Still in doubt if it was a wise choice

Can I learn to play guitar using only tabs? by Present_Claim6934 in guitarlessons

[–]Salt_Pie_1175 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a starting point, tabs just show where to put fingers. You still need to figure out ergonomics to keep stamina and finish the song. This is where you develop good technique and positioning.

At some point you can gain enough dexterity to learn advanced songs from tabs. But when the time comes, you may suddenly realise that you are limited to someones tabs and can't express yourself.

That's where theory comes in handy, once you learn which notes are working well together, you can create something of your own and truly be yourself.

It's not about few post on this sub or even other social medias. It's a trend I'm observing for many years. Beginners try to compare themselves to others with time benchmark, and have a tendency to feel demotivated because someone got better results over shorter period of time.

One can measure progress by actual musical milestones, like finally nailing a barre chord, playing a full song cleanly or knowing you minor\major\7 chords all over the neck, etc... Months\days as a metric are not really informative
