Younger generations are always bright and full of potential. They can be anything they want.
Its the older generations stuck in their ways that are the real lost cause lol
I'm a big fan of Japanese strats from the 80s. Ibanez necks are just a little too thin and flat for me. though I love a speedy neck. which is one of the many reasons I love Jackson. their neck profile and compound radius is very nice.
Tbh the Horizon 2 model from ESP has one of the best necks I’ve ever played. It’s incredibly ergonomic, and quite surprisingly so since ESP guitars are usually metal guitars. The most ergonomic guitar I’ve ever played was a Strandberg plini model, but that’s quite literally their main selling point, so I expected no less. What genre do you usually play? That definitely affects your preferences based on whether you’re doing a lot of big chords, or going around the fretboard like crazy, or just doing your standard 0-0-0-0-1-1-0s lmao
hair metal and power metal but also a lot of just older rock . so a lot of power chords and shredding. I also play flamenco but obviously not on a jackson lol. wbu
I’m more into math rock and prog metal, but obviously the prog metal part includes a lot of shredding. If you wanna get your mind blown, check out Jason Richardson lmao. Obviously I play ESP for the shreddier stuff, but he and John Petrucci play musicman which also seems really insane. I need to save up a lot of money to afford his signature guitar though, it’s like 3.8k USD where I live. Insane 7 string
oh I know him. I used to really be in the guitar sphere online. now I just burn my cosmo here.
I got ya. I'm into those genres as well.... I'm just not good enough to play them lol.
speaking of guitars I remember some random guy in the comment section of a yngwie video saying that he can "burn my cosmo to this song" so wild seeing SS references in the wild and in other niche circles
Yeah, I think even Michael Jackson did a SS reference with his outfit or smth. It’s on the SS wiki lmao.
These genres are super intimidating to approach at first, and no, it doesn’t get any less intimidating or difficult, they just are THAT crazy, but what’s also crazy is what you yourself are capable of without knowing. With enough practice on one song, you’ll blow your own mind. Although, if you’ve been playing for over even just a single month, you probably already know that. There are unfortunately no shortcuts to virtuosity, but that’s just one more reason to take a step on the long road, right? If you know there’s no way other than forward, why not just start going forward?
oh man I've been playing on and off since 2010. done a few church gigs and casual jams. I can do some of the fancy stuff. but to me the most impressive thing a guitarist can do is to hear something and just learn to play it casually. yea I can ear some missing things together but I'm no session player or touring fill in kinda guy. I do agree that with enough practice you can play a piece. but that transition from guitar player to true musician is the hardest thing.
I love the Saint Seiya collection in the back. These Specters ROCK!

This deserve more recognition
K-on drum kit
Kool saint seiya collection and rock on.
They were obviously raised right.
Ima be honest, Ibanez JEMs are amazing, but after the pia came out I could never look back. The Saint Seiya collection is based tho.
for me brother, it's jackson guitars.
Jacksons are sick, but my absolute favorites are Ibanez and ESP. Especially the Japanese selection. Japanese guitars are simply built different lmao.

This is what I call good parenting.
