Hi Todd, believe me or not. But i've played a 100 euros Epiphone SG Special all my life! (It survived traveling around the country, gig, a lot of story and my own blood on it). I am strong believer that if you have the skill you can make any guitar sound good.
But alas, bending the 22 fret so I can hit the 24 fret its quite no effective 80% of the time, even having to play that higher up (19-22 frets) can be a pain, especially on the lower strings. Now I know you are a big Ibanez fan! And I don't have any shops near me to try it out. Closest is 45 min car trip. Which I don't have the time right now. So I would like your opinion on which guitar to wonder upon. (800 euros = 939 USD budget) I was aiming https://www.thomann.de/pt/ibanez_rg721fm_nt...t_ibanez_331827 This post has been edited by MonkeyDAthos: Aug 18 2017, 05:51 PM -------------------- QUOTE It's a proven fact that guitar faces have a bigger impact on tone than wood does. |

First off I don't know how I missed this one!!! If I don't give a reply to a Mission right away, feel free to shoot me a personal message in the event that i missed it in my post feed. Sorry for the lag! The good news is that you are really tearing this apart!!!! Let's Debrief!
MEDALS OF HONOR 1.)PLANTED RIGHT HAND: Your right hand stays nice and stead and doesn't drift around which is a very important skill to develop and your doing a fine job of it 2.)GOOD PALM MUTE: As a result of good right hand technique you have a nice mute which is preventing any extra string noise. Another skill which is crucial to develop. 3.)STRING TRAVERSE: Being able to cleanly go between strings and making it sound like you are just playing on a single string is one of the toughest skills and one that many folks really struggle with. You seem to have a really good grasp on it which is great to see!! It's wonderful to see you getting such a good handle on so many fundamental concepts that are key to success in bootcamp and in playing in general. You really NAILED ITI on this one and you are more than ready for what's ahead! In other words you just.... LEVELED UP!!!!!! Hi Todd! I am summer working atm to pay up music school monthly feeds. I am far from being in my best shape , my arms are full of small stabs from climbing trees and my fingers feel kind of slow and rigid from catching fruit all day. Still managed to play like 1h of guitar every day. So here is mission 4, actually this is more of a quick practice session rather than a final take, but seeing I am working with little time I decided to post it. 150 bpms 4 notes per beat ( I think) Edit: The dream would be 20+bpms, still gotto practice. Damn my bald spot seems to be getting worse every day RIP genetics. That's a nice axe I'm sure it would make you a happy guy. However, if you are willing to spend that kind of money, I'd honestly look in to maybe buying a used guitar via ebay or something similar and shooting for a prestige guitar. My fave guitar is currently a 2010 prestige that I got for around the price you are talking about called a 3570z. It's in mint condition which is rare but you can find them if you shop around. With ebay, they always let you return stuff if you don't like it even if the seller said "no returns" so there is very little risk. Even a guitar that's 5 or 10 years old, as longs as it's been kept in a case or case in a closet and not played, can play like a new guitar that costs 2000 euro such as the new Ibanez prestige line. However, some folks just don't like hunting down old guitars, or want a new one, so if that's the case that 7621 is still a fine Ibby Todd Hi Todd, believe me or not.
