I guess it's best just to try loads out and see which you think sounds the best for the metal you like. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

But Les Pauls are great for metal with their Mahogany-bodys, so in my opinion they suit for that kind of playing very well (aswell as every other style too).

As you already have Strat and Ibanez, next step is probably LP. But go into store and try out several LP models, I'm sure you will find one of them good. It is a heavy guitar for some serious heavy tone You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Next, gradually increase the tempo. Eventually you'll be flailing like a madman.

Sep 8 2008, 09:58 PM	GMC:er Posts: 316 Joined: 4-August 08 From: blighty	Get a LP,either classic or standard.I have a classic that is used as the main workhorse these days as it works so well with a screaming tube amp.clean or mean,their tones are superb and suitable for any style of music you care to throw at it The standards are another great model.I played one a couple of years ago in a local music shop and I was very impressed with its build and tone.Playability is as always outstanding,and the short scale length makes it even easier on the fingers One thing you may have to watch out for is the pick up selector switch being on the top of the body.It can be easy to knock into the middle posistion when your tapping shapes up and down the neck You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
