how do you feel..

you know that you're better than this noob player, you started 10 years ago, and he only started 2 weeks, then the next thing you know, he got THE MOST EXPENSIVE/ THE BEST/ ANYTHING THAT MAKES YOU GO WOOOOOOOH instruments while you only use some cheap brand.

how do you feel? tell us.

Get over it. The world is never fair.

live with it, u know u ll pawn him when u get on stage..
He ll be WOOO-ing at something that cant be bought..

haha. this is unfortunate. it happens to me as well. the guy is from a well off family. he got everything that ive been keeping my hard earn money for. the only that made feel better is when im playing on his kit pawning his skill.

do take advantage on this. be this noob sifu or something. who knows, u might get something from it. haha

no big deal. i will be glad tat i'm better than him in techniques, which i concern more.

I feel for you bro.
I met a noob bassist playing a Rickenbacker 4001 when i was overseas........I was about to cry seeing it go to waste.

If you have time to worry about other ppl's kit, you should've used that time to woodshed or get a better-paying job.

Even if you're not a very good guitar player, if you can compose cool songs/tunes/riffs you're already one up even the most technical player.



Personally, I value more the quality of the melody/rhythm/ than the technique/gear.

erhhh,, i will work hard and buy the instrument i wanted, not some poser wannabe..

nay, i see some noob ppl father buy them grand piano when they havent pass grade 1 walao

hoepfully when i grow up i buy a white grand piano <<My dream

haha, im just a student is its kinda hard for me to save money.

i started playing around 8-7 years ago without professional training, and recently i've been serious. my friend saw me play and WOOOOSH, he got himself a gibson zakk wylde. i was like @.@, and he cant even play a 3 chords song properly. what a waste man! not calling myself a master or something, but, its sad. really sad..

well if that 'noob' is determined to be a good player, then i've got his back supporting him to be. life isnt fair, but for him/her who is fortunate enough to start on good equipments, at least itll be easier for him/her to improve as a musician.

on the other hand, its not like i myself own freaking awesome techniques (unlike gapnap!). ive got intermediate level gear and even with that, sometimes i dont feel my standard of playing deserves the gear. (or maybe thats the psychological effect for working so hard to pay for my own gear).

still patiently saving up for my alexi-200...
almost there

haha, big fan of children of bodom yeah bro? . i went to singapore and i saw his guitar, the limited edition one, instead of yellow stripes, its PURPLE!

Gibson Zakk Wylde??? OMG you sure it ain't the china made ones? LOL Nevermind la.. when he's bored of it he'll sell you cheap cheap.

Seriously, I have no objections on new players starting with an expensive instrument. But I gotta say, starting with a Gibson Zakk Wylde is overkill!!!

Heheh chill la bout these people, why lah.. I'm sure u're jealous right? .. A little bit? No offense intended.. But just chill lah.

He has the money, good for him lah.. If u're his good friend u should be happy for him. I'm sure you can even play the guitar when u're over at his place right?

I never never understand this "pawning pawning" shit when it comes to music. Like wtf? Why wanna compare skills? Just enjoy the music man. Have respect.

Of all you know your friend suddenly can shred like ZW in the next 2 years man. At least he got the dough to get a good guitar for starters so later on he won't regret getting crappy gears, like most of us when we just started.

of cause im jealous! hahaha. it's like we've been working hard and stuff and he got his stuff just like THAT. @.@

Dude, I started off like that.
I got some chaplang brand Vantage guitar and crappy Laney amp.... and then the other guys were flaunting their Ibanez and Jacksons......
So I slowly start to learn on that crappy guitar, then when the time is right, upgraded to a measly Epiphone LP-100..... and then learned somemore....

Now, over 10 years playing, finally got a decent Epiphone and Jackson......

Don't worry man........ just practice your skills, don't worry about your gear and just continue to dominate. Your time will come. Trust me!

BTW...... of all the persons that SHOULD be jealous of a Gibson Zakk Wylde, it should be me! Just take in the knowledge that a Gibson Zakk Wylde is THE MOST counterfitted Gibson guitar in China. I've seen soooooooooo many imitations, even ones I could swear it's a Gibson until I really looked up at it up close..... you never know!
