But anyways I managed to score a pair of MACE String Dampeners from a friend of mine who originally tried to learn to play two guitars at once, but got frustrated and gave up. He pretty much gave me near-new $160 string dampeners Overall, this guitar ended up costing me around $5300 It really does pay to save like crazy from age 11 Although I'm still very inexperienced with my ambidextrous playing, I have managed to synchronize both hands Next step, harmonized playing Hopefully if I ever get a webcam and some kind of midi equipment, I'll post a video of me playing it sometime You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

That is one sick guitar and I think eventually when you get the hang of it you should def. post some videos of you playing. The blue is really easy on the eyes but still gives it a nice look .

I mean just 8 finger tapping is pretty hard for me. But 2 guitars. thats still kind of like just 8 finger tapping right? That woudl be my guess. i suggest you get it down on 1 guitar first, then go to 2 if my guess is right. It may help some!! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

But thanks to the MACE string dampeners it actually sounds good when I play, instead of the presence of all the horrible feedback I get when I legato both necks So minus the demo video, would you all like to give me some style ideas? I'm thinking of making a video in the style of Michael Angelo Batio, since he's the reason why I'm learning to play this beast, but nowhere near as fast You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I have enough problems standing under the weight of a LP single neck - you'll have shoulders bigger than Arnie . Seriously though - looks cool and if you can get the two handed bit down then awesome.

My Ibanez ARX320 is slightly lighter than the double, and that thing is a beast But I wouldnt be surprised if my neck got pretty big, the strap I have is a neck strap. Yes, I'm practicing the "flip the guitar upside down" trick MAB does @shredmandan: It really depended on which MAB model you're talking about. To my knowledge, MAB had three different double guitars. The one I first saw him play, the Top Gun designed one, was at least double what mine cost, if I remeber correctly. I wanted to get the one that looked like a circuit board that I saw in a preview for Speed Kills, but that would have cost me at least 2.5x this one, simply because of the custom body and paint jobs. It's so expensive to get a custom guitar made for you, especially one as wild as a double guitar T_T You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
