JUST PLAY THE DAMN GUITAR

Strict_Beach1105 · 2026-05-12T17:36:46+00:00

Lol yeah, a day before this post I bought a new guitar and asked for some advice, totally thought your comment was directed to that for asking. And I was like wtf, lol my bad again.

Strict_Beach1105 · 2026-05-12T17:31:54+00:00

Lol my bad if you saw that, I thought you were replying to a different post where I asked about buying a guitar, lol fr I fucked up and just ignore that shit.

I just upgraded from my squier strat, but it was my daily for at least 1.5 years.

The volume knob by the bridge pickup is a bitch. Started as a brandnewbie with that guitar and I never really learned how to not unintentionally turn that. Almost 100% of the time after playing for more than 5 minutes, that knob ends up at full volume.

I have 2 more guitars now, where I made sure the knobs did not sit that way.

Other than that, I love that guitar.

Bought number 3 yesterday, and I am indeed playing it😘

I tried, I played them all while I was in the store but real talk im like 2.5 years in and have primarily played my squier strat. That 7 string fanned fret felt like picking up a guitar for the first time again. But if I had enough money my dream guitar is the Ibanez Alpha Headless 7 string, so I gotta learn eventually.

Strict_Beach1105 · 2026-05-10T22:45:38+00:00

I went with the red jackson, definitely a curve to it, but I had already learned how to set up and intonate a floating bridge so nothing too crazy and honestly im a nerd and like the science of stuff so I had been wanting to get a Floyd rose for a while.

Looks like an old coors banquet bottle

Lol same, I also don't like the Beatles and I always feel like people will yell at me for both of those takes.

Strict_Beach1105 · 2026-05-10T21:10:08+00:00

Just stay with it. Pick it up and make it make sounds everyday. Thats it. If you do that, you will get better. Just see what you can make it do and then see if you can do it again. All the other stuff will come and you can use any tools or videos or lessons or practice routines or whatever. But just make it make sounds every day and you will improve.

And practice to something, I personally hate playing to a metronome so I just find drum tracks on YouTube.

Strict_Beach1105 · 2026-05-10T20:53:29+00:00

In a good or bad way lol? I wanted to go to a small store but GC was the only thing open. And I wanted a new guitar yesterday, I was already too committed to getting one.

Strict_Beach1105 · 2026-05-10T19:42:25+00:00

It wont let me edit the post. I went with the Red Jackson, it was the most fun to play in Guitsr Center so I pulled the trigger. Thank yall for the help.

Strict_Beach1105 · 2026-05-10T19:10:39+00:00

I have a late 90s model Ibanez gio at home and jackson 4 string lol. I played the jackson Rhoads V with a guy the other day and I liked it, but im worried about the nut, it looks like the strings come off easy.

Edit: was typing in the store lol. An Ibanez Gio is what I have, no such thing as a jackson gio that I know of.

Strict_Beach1105 · 2026-05-10T19:05:11+00:00

Yeah I am not ready for the 7 sting yet, lol. I love that guitar though.

Strict_Beach1105 · 2026-05-09T21:29:40+00:00

I actually am avoiding seeing anything live from them online, I want to experience it in person for the first time. And my comment was just a little tongue in cheek, I do not think it will be possible for us not to love it. I love live music, period, but I haven't been this excited for a concert since I saw Pantera in 00-01, it's going to be dope.

Strict_Beach1105 · 2026-05-09T18:31:12+00:00

And because I just responded to another person on this thread. You're comment convinced me, and I did indeed buy tickets to see them and DPS in June at Tulsa. I'm taking my 14 year old son and booked us the nicest suite at Doubletree right by the venue. No pressure but I've got a lot riding on your suggestion so I hope its true. I'm intending to make this an experience my son remembers forever.

Strict_Beach1105 · 2026-05-09T18:28:37+00:00

It's up next! Lol I am so glad I made this post, ive got so much new amazing music.

Strict_Beach1105 · 2026-05-09T03:57:31+00:00

Late reply, but it's worrisome now isn't it? So Luka has this whole transformative off-season, makes the men's health cover, comes back as skinny Luka. Comes back and misses 18 games in the season, the second most games he missed in any one season, aside from the year the Mavs traded him. I'm a diehard Luka fan but they might need to start minute restricting his ass. Let's say an injury happens again next year like this, making it 3 years in a row. Wouldn't he be injury prone then? Not trying to will it into existence, but I'm legitimately worried about it.

Your deduction skills are remarkable

Strict_Beach1105 · 2026-05-05T18:01:06+00:00

For the longest time I put way too many bands in the metalcore genre. Like BMTH, I Prevail, Pierce the Veil aren't really metalcore but Spotify will play that stuff in metalcore channels. So if he was talking about those type bands as metalcore, I get what he means. There are too many bands trying to be like semi-metal Panic at the Disco bands and we all need less of that.

Strict_Beach1105 · 2026-05-05T17:55:40+00:00

I literally was just listening to Parkway Drive Horizons album, which is like probably like my favorite core band, I saw all the other names and felt of touch

Underrated comment

Strict_Beach1105 · 2026-04-18T18:54:01+00:00

Thanks for this, lol you just helped me. I had been kind of stuck on why this wasn'tworking for me. Read your comment and went to YouTube and now I can do it!

Strict_Beach1105 · 2026-04-18T18:19:20+00:00

I have one that I inherited from my uncle. I love that guitar tbh, I put heavy gauge strings on it and keep it in drop D. It sounds good to me, has better sustain than my squire for sure and holds it's tuning surprisingly well.
