Do you read notes(taugeh what we chinese call it). If you do then look at the beginning of the score, there will be sharps or flats beside the trebleclef. If there is 1 sharp on the F then it's in the Key of G, 2 Sharps then its D, etc etc

If not then it's hard to explain as you have to use your ears. . . it's like if you can find a string of notes that progress in a symetrical Do Re Mi kinda thing then you string it together with the :

1-Whole-2-Whole-3-Half-4-Whole-5-Whole-6-Whole-7-Half-Octave

Formulae. . .

I hope this helps. . . cause usually people either have perfect or relative pitch and use their ears, or just look at the the score(which IMO is MUCH more easier)

you're wiring nvr earthed properly? that should be the reason. . . used to experience that with my axes. . . then it seems that i nvr earth my amp properly. . . or the earth wiring to your bridge pup loose?

echo try and open the back cover of your gutiar and see if the wire to your bridge is connected properly. . . sometimes the solder will drop if not done properly. . . if not then check our plug points for non-3 pin stuffs. . . happened recently or very long already?

and man, blackangel you're one lucky dude. . . still can laugh. . .xD your guitar now i presume plays much better? your pup just got 1000Volts extra. . . i think can own EMG pups d. . xD nothing fried? cause i'm surprised the pup didn't fry. . your amp for that matter

i see your problem. . . =D i changed my GT-6 at home to connect to a seperate 3-pin connector. . . this way i had no hum. . . i suggest you find those 2 to 3 pin heads from the DIY shop. . . your problem should disapear soon after =D

hope my advice helps

cheers

Anyone know where to get replacement EMG parts? cause i have an EMG H4A passive pups i think. . . i found it in the storeroom while cleaning up recently =.= didn't even kno i had them. . . i cant find the 4 way wire to connect to the back of the pup. . . anyone know where to get them? i have the pup but no wires etc

mustaine just moved to Dean =.= man he changes sponsors damn often. . . pity those who chase his guitars. . .

where you guys watch the show? i can't seem to find pick of destiny anywhere at all. . . is it nice? i mean i hope it's not as stupid as nacho libre lolz. . .

i tot school of rock was cool but nacho was just plain stupid xD

it's so hard to find DVDs nowadays. . . =.= nothing new. . .

btw has anyone tried painting their guitar?

nah. . . ive been trying painting on a guitar i got. . . it was given to me. . i dismantled the whole guitar took the body and sprayed it. . . doesnt look good =.= i need the sanding machine to make the finish much better. . . it's fun tho =D you all should try it xD

Metal = happy tree friends!

xD

listen to alot of music. . . play alot of songs. . . play different genres. . . never restrict yourself to one genre as your playing will sound very much that genre if you wanna be unique. . . and work on proper techniques. . . theory knowledge is also important. . .

btw everdying why selling your highway 1?

and yea humming out your solos really work, try humming and playing what you hum. . cause your voice never lies =D lots of jazz guys do that. . . instead of letting what your fingers want to play you hum out what you want and play what you hum. . . but it's no easy feat. . .

well i guess it can't be helped right? i mean they have to keep cost low to be able to churn out affordable guitars for us. . . not everyone can afford a Gibson costing 7k plus. . . on top of that i say give them a few more years and maybe they'll pickup. . . Japan used to be like the "china" last time. . . all the big names are going east lolz. . . even the Ibanez S series are all made in Korea now, including the prestige models. . .

Gustavo is really good. . . i've seen alot of his videos. . . for one he has every single God Forsaken Guitar on earth. . . JS model, JEM models, PG models, Gibson, Fender, watever. . . lolz. . . must be some multi-millionaire. . . so jealous. . .

when he plays he really plays up to a point where you think it's the real guy playing. . . the nuances, lelgato, phrasing, everything, so real. . . respect him totally. . . Check out his For The Love Of God - Vai. . . good stuff. . .

i agree. . . i rather you get a normal RG then the JEM Jr. . . mod the stock RG and load it with DiMarzio Breed/Evo pups and you're a step closer to Vai( a bloody far step but still a step)

I've tried most of the JEM from the universe 7 to the low models. . . have a mate who owns a JEM, and i found that the tone is really lacking due to the big cut in the wood for the damn monkey bar. . . if you dont have good pedals and amps to back the gutiar it soudns really thin, on top of that sustain is not easy, as evident in most of Vai's guitars, they are all loaded with Fernandes Sustainers. . . the JEM Jr goes out of tune if you plan to abuse the floyd like Vai does. . . Even the original Vai(white with gold hardware) sounds far from Vai's FLO guitar. . .

get a normal RG and mod it, get sustainers for neck breed/evo pups, scallop the last 8 frets, and get pedals if you really want Vai's tone. . .

did you guys try the Metal planet from rocktron? very solid and powerfull sound. . . tried it in ironwood. . . all the rocktron feels damn durable and solid. . . but the price for them are kinda steep cause they are presmumably the high enders pro pedals. . .

wow!

it's so hard to find zaza songs on the internet!!! this is his song that sounds like the EJ cliffs of dover!

hawt chick with nice guitar xD damn i want. . .
