Shredd6 Super cool "Bitsa" guitar. Love your pickup choices. You have a true one of a kind custom and I dig it.

Another option is just to buy an HH Strat for when you want a thicker "humbucker" sound. I'm just saying the Original Floyd Rose isn't "crap"

I find that a lot of the "Floyd haters" out there did not invest in an original Floyd Rose trem. They saved a few bucks by buying a "licensed copy of . . .

i agree with this 99.9%. ibanez has a very sweet floyd copy.
they have like 3 different kinds. 1 of them really sucks azz and i dont remember off hand what model it is.

way cool jr you got me... it's the exact same story and i talked to my drummer on her opinion and she honestly doesn't give a hoot she says i play good she just wants our constant fighting to end and our new singer is also kinda freaked out about it... at a personal level i think i play alright (i guess we can all do better) but i'm always learning i'm open to new ideas i may not be fast (metal fast) but i think i'm a pretty fair guitarist... i know i can do better and i'm trying but how can i when my DH bassist is always bringing me down?



lol damn im good.

ok in this situation, its time for you and the band to realize hes an infestation and has to go. this weekend one of you has to go bro. hes a disease to the moral of the band.
a band is only as strong as its weakest link. it wont be long until everybody watching or interested in the band realizes there is trouble in the ranks. it effects everything bro.
your unhappy so you have to take action for yourself. make your mind up today and put your plan into action and stand strong. its like a bad marrage. its stupid to stay together
"for the kids". the longer you wait to handle the situation the worse it will get.
plus, if its you that ends up leaving after you have waited so long its just that much more time youve wasted when you could have found yourself a better situation and moved on a long time ago. so by not taking action yourself, your adding to your own pain
and that myfriend is signs of insanity. stop the damn madness today.

ya know, i dont honestly know. im not into ibanez like i use to be, so my memory is at a blank. i believe the edge's are the nice ones. do a google search, im sure the answer is there. ibanez players are usually very demanding on their trems, they talk about it loudly too lol. i need to get myself an ibanez this yr. they really are sweet guitars to play.
very smooth.

honestly i start to question who's the weakest link everyone i talk to has no opinion on who's to blame... but the truth is last weak he acted like a kid and like a real pain everytime he'd put a hard song he'd have all the pleasure in saying i couldn't do jack of it... and started giving hell to me and everyone else... and all we were doing was decide our new song list (our band is going through a renovation with the entrance of our new singer) and he wanted to play... what were we gonna play for 3 hours if our songs got booted?... plus he has no respect for creativity because he wants to play songs that every band plays cause everyone already likes them and i joined this band to do our thing not everyones thing...

from what i hear the edge3 rarely stays in tune before i got really into fender i was into the s series they have the coolest trems and i consider them iconic guitars along with the rg (i also miss the solidbody talman what is it with guitar companies discontinuing their coolest models?) anyways give the s series a shot they are worth it :)

dude has to go bro, its that simple.
hes trying to wreck the band while he comes out smelling like a rose.
look, theres nothing wrong with doing a few cover tunes while doing originals.
until you get a slight following you gotta keep people interested and depending on your target audience, covers are a great way to break your set list up a bit, keeps folks attention.

well you know the deal bro. hes gotta clean it up or out he goes. its very simple.
your band cant move forward it hes to busy rocking it from side to side.
maybe hes got it in his head that hes the man. bounce him and replace him.
you have to get the band to back you up on that too though.
sometimes ya gotta treat your band like a business bro. the success of your band
depends a lot on your business partners and their ability to get along and make sound
decisions for the better of the band, EVEN if they dont agree with them.
now there is something. have it in your heart that you so badly want one thing, but have to vote against yourself because you know its not in the best interest for the band.
try it, it sucks.

ya gotta man up and do what must be done bro.
in the end you control what you allow to go on around you.
it DH continues, then you have allowed him to do so.
go be happy man. life is to damn short to let others control
your happiness. kick his $@! to the curb or go find another band
you can work with. keep practicing your chops and scales.
learn some basic theory and listen to your heart and mind, as to what they are telling you. its that little voice inside your head that will guide you bro. listen for it.
