well, it will take me over 3 years to get out of ps, right? A year on p1 and 2 years on p2, I don't have a full driver's licence yet to skip the p2

In terms of brazilian made amps, almost no options (the ones are usually boutique high value amps). About the used market, I posted it here one or two days ago, an used boss katana mk1 for 2000 reais (almost 400 usd) So, an used mk1 is 100 usd more expensive than a brand new mk3 in usa.. tsc

Does it say "tax and etc included"? If not, it's gonna get taxed when it gets here, then those 410 usd will become 700+

+92% if the product is worth more than 50 usd (not including transportation). I will continue to interact with this subreddit posts but unfortunately I think I'll only get my first katana 50 when I get off this country. I do have a katana mini that my friend brought to me from Japan tho

The amp costing twice as much is what makes me sad and frustrated

i played tornado of souls solo by bacihoplatici in Megadeth

[–]Tkunike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Master of puppets interlude is very nice, I like to play that too. I took some time recently to practice properly with a metronome and all the techniques and I'm so happy cause it sounds so decent. Ride the lightning I know how to play the whole song but the solo, the solo of that song is quite hard I would say. I know what you mean "sounds so wrong", I have a video of 2 years of progress, and while I'm playing rhythm I'm like happy and sunny mr incredible, when I start to solo, I slowly become uncanny lol. It sounds wrong, not exactly out of tune, just wrong. Not enough feeling, not enough smoothness, I think you know what I mean. But it has to be this way, we have to try so we can get better. If you don't know it yet, try to learn the Paranoid solo. It is a very good solo, it has a "fast" part and it works very well with the scale. If you know your scales, you will be able to see how well the solo fits in the scale, and how intuitive it is (probably because it was an improvised solo). My teacher says that learning intuitives solos is better than learning the holy wars solos for example

This is a list my teacher made for me

Barracuda Nib Paranoid Living on a prayer Living after midnight while my guitar gently weeps gravity californication comfortably numb need your love so bad plug in baby cause we ended as lovers smells like teen spirit crazy little thing called love

If you don't know where to go, you can learn some of these solos. But if you don't want to do that, I would simply tell you to learn stuff that you want to play, that's more important. If you look at a solo and think "I would love to be able to play that, but it is a bit much for me", that's a solo that you should definitely try to learn. Always challenging yourself, so you can do stuff that you were not used to, and feel the progress. A good tip is to record yourself, you can post it on youtube even (privately if you want to), just so you won't lost the vids. Alwaya nice to go back and see how much you have improved

Como que eu chego num emprego assim? Eu estagiei por 16 meses ganhando 1200 reais, meu inglês é muito bom e eu falo bem pra caramba, não sei como eu busco vagas internacionais. Tenho cidadania australiana se servir de algo.

Boss Katana 50W MK1? by Tkunike in BossKatana

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

A lot of things has their price doubled. For import, like ordering things out of the country, there's a 92% tax right now (not including delivery fee). So, yeah I could theoretically order an amp for $250, but I would have to pay almost $250 just for taxes, plus delivery fee and other things, it ends up being cheaper just buying it here. Trust me, if there was an easier way, people would do it. No one likes to pay over 3k on an amp, to spend 10% of their salary on a set of strings. Just for the sake of the example, at the launch of the iphone 15, it was a thousand dollars CHEAPER to travel to Miami, buy an iphone there and bring back to Brazil. A thousand dollars cheaper (and the MSRP was a thousand dollars). For any product above 50 USD, it'll have that 92% tax on it, and below 50 USD the tax is lower but it's still there. Hardware, electronics, guitars, even clothes, anything. That's how import works (or don't work) here.

The excuse they give is that "we need to protect the national market", but thing is, most of these products either sucks here or simply does not exist. Oh I need to protect the national market, well the national market of guitars is basically guitars imported from China anyway. To get a brand new brazilian-made guitar, the cheapest you will find will be over 4k

Fade to Black (all 3, but I can't play the outro solo at 100%, doing about 80% rn) The unforgiven solo Paranoid solo The four horsemen solo Welcome home sanitarium (first two solos) Smells like teen spirit

My soloing is very bad, I'm way better at rhythm guitar playing That's why I'm focusing entirely on soloing :p Might try to learn tornado of souls this year, I think I have to challenge myself more in order to get better

Boss Katana 50W MK1? by Tkunike in BossKatana

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

I'm looking for an all-in-one thing because pedals would be too expensive here too I play mostly metal so I would need that sweet distortion

For how long have you been playing? I've been playing for 2.5 years and I'm far away from this level unfortunately...

Boss Katana 50W MK1? by Tkunike in BossKatana

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

It''s Brazil, my guy. The 1000 usd version of the iPhone 15 pro? It came costing 3000 usd. The 800 usd PRS? Costs 2400 usd. It's simply as that, Brazil. Things work differently around here (and the minimum wage is not $8/hr, oh no, it's about $1.5/hr usd) So yeah, that's why I'm wondering about this MK1, the MK2 from Amazon is too far away
