If you are left handed: cry

If you pick up your guitar, and a heavenly choir and a beam of light shines down upon you, that’s how you know what guitar to get.

Tip #3: Check the price and put it back

What inspires you? *The ability to financially recover after buying a new guitar*

Don't get in a hurry. I was taught to "Court" a guitar by my father. Play it at least three times on three different days. Your mood etc will be different everytime. If it plays well for you each time, consider buying it. Also, always try the hardest chord for you to make. If you nail it everytime, you just may have found what you need. Don't let the salesmen put pressure on you. Be open and tell them your looking for your guitar and it may the a bit. Impulse purchases can end up sitting in the case because it's really not the instrument for you.

The problem is when you like both metal and jazz

"the guitar chooses the player, mr Potter"

Get it in your hand and see how it feels to you.

Me: is it, is it cheap? Cashier: how cheap? Me: cheap as dirt. Cashier: yeah..? Me: Perfect! Dream guitar found.

Brought my dream guitar this year. Been wanting it for decades. LTD Snakebite. 🤘🏼🤘🏼

The most important aspect of buying any guitar is to always play it without an amp in the store. If it sounds bad dry, it’ll never sound great amplified and processed. Feel everything including the weight, balance, and how solid everything feels. This is how I ended up buying an American strat from 2002 despite it not being my style or preference at all. Still one of my best ever purchases.

Me a left handed person looking at my wallet: “I’m sorry little one”

I was always a Tele guy for decades until I got a knock off stratocaster just for fun. Now I'm building a beautiful strat and I'll never go back.

I'm a new guitar player and I understood a solid maybe 10% of the guitar lingo in this video

Play the guitar see how the neck feels. I bought (online) an epiphone les paul standard it eas a beautiful guitar, and i really struggled. After i visited a guitar shop realised i play better with the ibanez as the wizzard neck is a better fit for me.

i would get the guitar i like but my wallet hides when i look at the price😂

4. Don't forget that if you put in the work, you can use whatever guitar you want. For the most part, it will not affect your sound, you just gotta know what you're doing.

Don't only look at popular brands. Lit of every guitar I've played, the best has to be my Teisco Spectrum 4.

I bought a butterscotch cream telecaster last month along with a fender blues jr. Been having a lot of fun

Hey! Thanks for this video! I have a lot of people telling me I shouldn’t buy an expensive guitar because I am a beginner! I just bought a Schecter banshee gt fr, I know I may be a beginner, but I won’t be one forever!

I like he says start with your heart

The guitar that made me want to seriously learn wasn’t available when i was a kid and it’s not like it’s a Stratocaster or a les paul where i can find some variations on them. As a Queen fan, brian may’s red special was what i envisioned a guitar ought to be. I have since bought my own and even though i also have les Pauls and strats and teles, the red special will always be the one that got me into playing guitar and thus my favorite guitar.

I love the blue fading into black 🤭

The LP and SGs speak to my soul

Though i own and love a Les Paul, Ibanez Icemans have always felt like an extension of my character and so much easier to play in regards to weight, but i also fancy Casinos

"Lap steel country on a BC Rich" 😂 u know... I can almost imagine that 🤣

If you have smaller hands and wanna play metal and bass, go for an ibanez 5 string. I learned that way lol.. worked for me

i have the gibson les paul standard and to be honest, i never regret getting it

Very concise informative,and to the point!!!!! Very good video!!!

Although not my favorite aesthetically, it’s hard to beat the versatility of an HSS strat

It's always a journey. I started with single cuts, went over to SGs and Power Strats, and ended with Flying Vs, MLs and still SGs.

Bring A LOT of money, I remember being a kid and I had saved about $80 I was dead set on buying a Gibson les Paul , that was almost 35 years ago and I still can’t afford one

Seeing so many guitars is like Christmas 😊

Always try the guitars first. It won't affect tone but the feel of a guitar is very important to the player.

Make sure that the neck not only fits your hand, but does so without cramping up.

I first one when he slides the camera is the one i have its a les paul epiphone

Tbh the wiggles is what got me into guitar when I was a kid

Slash was my inspiration

I started off with a blueburst Epiphone Les Paul standard with coil tapping. Beautiful guitar, I still use it today. However, it's the reason why i had no idea how to use a whammy since recently.

Im a gretch hollowbody fan but fell for an ibanez artcore. Man, they're so great for a 400 dollar guitar

FRETS. Make sure the frets are perfectly smooth. I cannot tell you how many times I have picked up a premium brand guitar (looking at you Fender and Gibson) and the frets felt terrible when I did bends and vibrato. If the frets are rough, don’t buy it and inform the staff - not their fault but they can pass the info to the manufacturer.

My dream guitar is the ESP LTD Stef Carpenter SC-608 Baritone Electric Guitar Red Sparkle like it’s such a beauty and I’m a huge fan of deftones

My uncle was my inspo bro I used to sit in his room and watch him play along to 2000s metal songs way back in like 2009

Currently saving for jason becker numbers guitsr from kiesel.

Dude I really want a goldfoil jazzmaster

Fender telecaster American pro 2, and PRS se 24 custom. My faves

My Favourite guitar is Gibson Les Paul Classic 👽

My dream guitar is the Miami Blue Strat! I hope to be able to buy it soon!

Obviously the physicality of the instrument is important as well. Check the weight and comfort in both a seated and standing position. If it's not comfortable, are you going to play it often?

To me it was easy… as a Mark Tremonti’s Fan I went straight to a PRS SE Tremonti Signature and I’m loving it!

ESP LTD M1000HT. Hard tail being low makes for easy trem picking for me, I change tunings to much so Floyd roses are just to much of a pain and I already have an ltd ec 1000 matte black with gold hardware and emgs that sounds great all around. The 2022 m1000ht is probably the most beautiful guitar I've ever seen. The finish looks stunning.

My dad bought a guitar in the 90s that is mine today. I have never been able to find any guitar that I love more. No other guitar gives me the same feeling

I have a late 1980s Charvel Model 3 that I've owned from new. It has a Jackson Ultra High Output Ceramic Humbucker in the Bridge position, and it did have two Jackson Vintage Single coils in the neck and middle positions. I replaced the single coils with two Seymore Duncan Hot Rails, installed three toggle switches to split each of the pick-up's individually, designed, built and installed a pre-amp and a push / pull volume pot to give me the active electronics option and my 35 year old Charvel which I loved anyhow has blossomed into my favourite guitar, of which I have quite a few. She can do the 80s high gain hair metal that she was designed for, but now she can put on her Stratocaster dress and turn on that 3 single coil charm and clarity. 🥰🥰🥰🥰

The SG looks great bur it's actually massive. Also your guitar really doesn't matter, you can change out your pickups and strings but by far the biggest impact on the tone is your amplification, FX, and speakers. So just get something that looks cool to you and is comfortable to hold and play.

It was about two years ago now when I bought my Gretsch. And now I am a metal head 😅

I honestly think an hss setup is the best option

Solid body gretcshes can be pretty solid guitars for metal especially the baritones. One of Kurt Ballou's main custom guitars is pretty much a solid body double jet with no curved top, a hardtail bridge and no neck pickup.

That pink PRS is literally mine 🥺

I got a almost new telecaster player series ( still had the plastic on the pick guard ) and Laney cup 12 amp for $550 from a guy I work with. I like blues and rock so it is a solid combo for that.

If you like AC/DC you might also like the Gretsch Jet

Remember that modding is a thing I have a TeleCaster with a split humbucker bridge pickup and an evertune bridge.

Whatever inspires you and makes you wanna play and makes you happy, that’s the one. If it breaks the rules, it’s still the one. Geordie Walker is my favorite example. The dude is playing industrial metal on a 1950’s Gibson jazz hollow body with p90’s. But guess what, nobody sounds like him and it’s awesome.

I love the Gretch semi hollow👌

The Mark Holcomb SE PRS is mine

If you want a guitar that can do it all, a bc rich legacy of either a mockingbird or a rich "B". They have 2 humbuckers with a coil split switch for each of them and a phase switcher. They also have a 5 way varitone which is like having 2 tone dials for the same pickup (it gives more options). It has all the general stuff like pickup selector, 2 volume, 1 tone, 24 frets. You can get either of these in either hard tail or floyd rose and for the rich "B" you can get it in double neck with a 12 string. If you don't mind having a funny shaped guitar that will be a nightmare to get a case for, you can get a guitar that can do most things

Be sure to change your car’s engine oil every 5-7 thousand miles

Linkin parks Brad Delson got me into playing, then there was Dimebag, and then Zak Wylde, then some Steve Vai, then SRV, Jeff Beck, Paul Gilbert, the list goes on lol

Can't go wrong with a prs

My next one? Same rack as last time, take me to PRS room

Ibanez RG. The coolest shape by an absolute mile. Aggressive yet refined.

1. The feel of the neck: the curve of the back of the neck, the fretboard radius. 2. String action. How straight is the neck? 3. The body. Is it not too heavy. Is the body comfortable? e.g. does it have contours like a Stratocaster or Jazzmaster, etc. The sound, price, and looks of a guitar are important, but you should also pay attention to the ergonomics of playing guitar. Especially if you are going to practice or play for extended periods of time.

I want a hollow body guitar they sound so cool

When you like Primus Drop 16 Grand on a Bass

I will take one of each please. 😂

i don't know anything but music but i want to learn. what really should i do when buying my first guitar? are there accessories to buy with?

Neck shape and finish, I personally like a c shape Ibanez style with a smooth satin finish. Anyone else?

love the THBB10

I need that makes me motivated while sitting on a white chair

I chose mine because it looks like it can be used for heavy metal. Like the Ibanez grgr120ex which is what I have.

another point....is if a guitar is gonna cost you an arm and a leg. hard to play any guitar with one hand.....

I'm stuck between a CV mustang and an RG8. My music taste is all over the place.

I recently bought an Ibanez XPTB720, their 7 string Black Iron label Xiphos. I'm super in love with the X shaped body, I feel like I want every guitar I buy from here on out to be X shaped. Gotta save money right now but I'm really curious about Kiesel custom guitars as well. Maybe next time. Maybe a headless model as well.

1. Does it feel good? 2. Does it stay in tune? 3. Do you want a humbucker, single coil or both?

Brian may red special is a killer ❤

As a classic brand(s) family, we call the American made PRS " the Chameleon " because it somehow sounds good playing classic rock to Skynyrd to Buckethead to Dream Theater to the Cars without changing the settings...like it just auto-fits. 74 SG w P90s is preferred , tho

I think my next purchase is probably gonna be a les Paul or a thinline tele tbh. But you never know what’s gonna happen.

I plan on getting a ssh strat soon

I’m on both Sg and Lp so if I had to choose I’d choose… BOTH!!

Fender strat alder body maple neck hss pickups w floyd rose.

If you have the cash then always go for a custom I recommend getting a super cheap guitar at first and then seeing if you actually like it and then if you do then a custom is the best way to go

That’s why I chose am Ibanez ps60 as ,y first guitar I’m 16 and I love kiss yes we exist

for those of you looking for a good beginning guitar check out the ibanez gios they are immaculate and cheap

I've got six guitars . But just realised I need an Ibanez S series and a 12 string acoustic or the world might end .

I’m building a strat with a p90 and maybe even a tele pickup but I haven’t decided where to put everything

Thanks

Ibanez all the way. 24 frets. And my main axe for 15 years now. The RG120

Can you do a bass version pls?

Dave Ghrol with the Gibson Trini Lopez

My heart said Dave Mustaine Gibson, my wallet said fockoff

I like to play Metallica and heavy metal esc songs the most but I really enjoy the feel of playing a tele or a strat, lighter and more comfortable. The SG was an option for me until I actually played it for the first time after played my just a strat for years and I just could never get used to it
