Hi there, I just wanted to see what you all thought about the electric guitars I build here in the UK. Been doing it for a while now but wanted to see if I could get more opinions and interest in what I do. We are called Hooker Customs. https://hookercustoms.co.uk/ Our Instagram has more of the latest and past builds.

I dont know what to do to advance further
Dad3353 replied to frustrated guitarist's topic in Theory and Technique
You've not given your location, so I don't know just how easy it is to find a competent guitar tutor near you. That's the most efficient (and cost-effective, really...) way to get oneself on the right track. OK, it's not always possible or easy. There are some very good on-line tutors, in many styles; I can recommend Sandra Sherman's YouTube channel... https://www.youtube.com/@GuitarversumSandraSherman ... where one will find plenty of videos, in plenty of styles, that are well worth a look, and the course material she proposes is high quality. Worth a look..? Let us know what this inspires and see where we go from there..? Hope this helps. Tempted by Hybrid picking..? ... or a chord-melody rendering of 'Smile' (Yes, you have heard it before, and it's very easy on the ear...)... -

So ive learnt basic chords, barre chords and some simple strumming patterns. I can easily play any song i want to play after training a little but i want to become more than that. I've always felt that even though i can play a lot on my classical guitar i still cant play like an advanced player. To be honest there is this musician from 80s and 90s in my home country that i would like to learn songs. Problem is that he plays some advanced apreggios and he really is a great guitarist. Can you recommend me some advanced techniques i could learn? Maybe after learning some hard techniques i could gain more insight about playing. I want to learn advanced stuff because i have already learnt the basics.

MikkoKarhula started following 2-5-1 Bireli Lagrene Style

Hi! I made a 2-5-1 lick in a bit of style of Bireli Lagrene. Lick uses for example nice Em13 chord voicing and fast whole tone scale run. There's free tabs available if you're interested. Video Tabs Cheers, Mikko

Ronnie Wood played bass on Maggie May didn't he? It wasn't really bass as we know it, more lead guitar on a bass.

I'm spoiled for choice. I could even make my own from factory second parts. Not tempted in the least, however because often what one gains in appearance is lost in functionality and poor fit. There are some excellent PRS clones for 700 quid but the rest of it I would steer clear of.

It's a detail that gets in the way of communication IMHO

Xotic AC Booster Not made any more. Send it into a Fender amp and it'll give you thick articulate boost overdrive with a little something extra in the character which I haven't identified yet. Just luscious. Way better than a tube screamer and sounds magical with the ODR and Amptweaker below. Amptweaker Tight Rock The original one, it does fabulous distortion. Use whatever boost pedal you want to emphasise a different character. It does plexi as well. Super quiet and robust build. Nobels ODR This took me by surprise but it's an audio oxymoron. Really pleasant sounding overdrive while remaining articulate in the mids and presence frequencies. Great as a boost pedal too. Does everything well. Crowther Hot Cake Utterly unique drive pedal that does fat and grungy sounding distortion which teeters on the edge of fuzz but never quite goes there. It can be used as a boost as well. The presence control really does mids and it can be tweaked to a very entertaining level of intensity. It's the best drive pedal for a Vox AC30. PRS is a fan (which is probably a good thing) Joyo JF14 American Sound A copy of an old Tech 21 pedal. Use the voice control to move between tweed and twin midrange. The only criticism I have is the components are not as durable as they could be. Slightly higher noise floor. Otherwise, warm, articular midrange distortion from a Fender amp, use it with the ODR1 or the AC Booster for different takes on that mid to late seventies Rivera modded Fender thing. Mosky Silver Horse A little more versatile than the Goldern Horse if you are in the market for a Klon clone. Also, if you don't want or can't find an AC Booster, this does something similar but to a lesser degree for the cost of peanuts second hand. Slightly higher noise floor too but I use it as a boost pedal into the amptweaker for modded tones. That's it, I don't need any more drive pedals. Oh wait, there is the MXR Rockman...

Noise floor can sometimes be higher though

Hello all. For sale is a 2009 Schecter Jeff Loomis Signature model. It's Neck Thru, Made in Korea, with a Floyd Rose 1000 tremolo. It's in good working order, no issues with the truss rod, EMG 707 pickups sound great, frets are in good condition and the action is low (And could probably go lower). I have just changed the strings to a brand new set of Ernie Ball Skinny Top Heavy Bottoms with a .070 7th string and tuned to A# Like what Jeff Loomis used with Nevermore. I have adjusted the truss rod, intonation and Floyd to the new Gauge and Tuning. There is a chip on the side of the body as shown. I have tried to make it obvious in the photo, but is barely visible from the front in real life. There are some other minor dings on the side, but are very minor and don't go through the finish. It's missing one of the battery cover screws, but it's pretty solid on just one. These are pretty hard to come by these days. So grab a legendary signature model! No trades or offers. Pickup is from my place near London Bridge. Of course you can try it out, though I only have a mini bass amp with a terrible distortion pedal :-D. £600. I may consider a trade for a Fender Jazz/P Bass. Collection from London

Fantastic looking. I also have Gretsch GAS on a regular basis, I love the look of the hollow bodied and the Bigsby, even though I don't use vibratos usually. But I also just play for my own amusement so try to content myself with the numerous guitars I already have. In fact, I have enough parts to probably make another 2 or 3 complete instruments, so that should keep me busy. My wife says I tinker with them more than I actually play them these days.

Hi all. New to the forum. Just got some new (to me) guitars. I'm pushing 50, but started playing at about 15. Unfortunately I've not been playing for all 35 years. It's like I'm a learner again, but with previous knowledge.

Only 'frowned upon' when out of context; both are correct in the right place. There's a lot of useful explanation, easy enough to assimilate, here... Reddit : Is Eb the same as D#..? ... Hope this helps.
