Need some help buying a new guitar

Hi there ...

i would like to buy a new guitar in a few weeks. But i´m not sure what might be the right one for me.
I know, best way to find out is to test some guitars in a store but maybe i can get a few tips from you guys:)


Ok here my description.....

1. easy to play, that means a low string position, so that i have not to use much pressure ...

2. A powerfull rocksound (like Van Halen´s first Album) but also a warm and full sound when playing pickin guitar technics.

3. A small fingerboard, because i have not such long fingers

4. Appearance

Another question is, the sound i like, described at point 2, is it better to use single coil or humbucker pickup?

Finally it should not more than 400 euro ... i know that is not so much, but i hope i can get a good guitar for that money

I found a Ibanez RG321 and a GRG270B, this might be a guitar that fits my needs ??
What do you think about these two guitars, specialy the GRG270B?

PS: Sorry about my bad english, that´s the other thing i have to work on, beside my guitar training

Lick of the day from Ban halen

I would like Ban Halen´s "Ain´t talk about love" as Lick of The day, is this possible?

Kristofer wrotes in another thread the below standing text:



So is the "Ain´t talk about love" intro also a thing that might be inpossible, because of license or stuff like this?

The intro tab seems to be really easy, but the timing is a little bit tricky. Also i´m interessed in what kind of effects Eddie uses to came up with the specific sound from Ban Halens first Album. Anyone can give me a direction on how to copy that sound?

Time to practice seriously :)

Hello there,

my name is Jörg and i´m 37 old male from germany. I´m working as a computer technican for a company which is providing high availability enviorments.
I start playing bassguitar in the mid eighties. But after 2 years i lost motivation because i felt kind of i stagnancy.
Also i have the felt of could not transport my imagination with the bassguitar.
Whatever After a long time without playing any instrument, i make a new start guitarplaying.
I try to practice as often as possible and browse the internet for lessons and help on playing guitar.
Finaly i found gmc and hope that is the right place for me to learn effective.
