I just need a cheap, decent bridge pickup for my acoustic guitar. Links are preferred, but if you want, you can give me instructions as to where I can find them locally.. My zip code is 90005. Anyways, thanks for helping out, or at least trying to.

What are some recommendation for a starter guitar player?

guitar link image

Cool Guy

So, I'm 100% new to guitar; I know close to absolute nothing. I'm looking for an electric guitar only, don't even bother recommending acoustic. To give you an idea of what kind of music I'm into, I listen to Trivium, Arch Enemy, Metallica, and Avenged Sevenfold. As for guitar sound, where does this come from? Is this the amp or tuning of the guitar? Essentially, I'm asking how you get that "metal" sound. As for price range of what I'm looking to spend, I was looking to spend around $200 total. I'm not sure what kind of quality that will buy me. I was looking to buy a lower middle quality guitar/amp. If I have to spend more, I definitely will consider it. If you recommend guitar, preferably link me something from another website like Guitar Center so I can thoroughly look at it. I'm unsure as to where to buy it too. Should I buy it from an online store or at a physical store like Guitar Center. Also, I'm going to be self taught (since I'm not close friends with someone that plays guitar) so are there any recommendations for books or websites that will help me get started? Any recommendations for anything at all would be greatly appreciated.

Answer
your best bet is to go in a guitar center and look around, tell the people there what your budget is and they will help you out. as for the 200, i dont think if that will get you what your looking for. sure there are kits like this for cheap: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Silvertone-Citation-Electric-Guitar-Package-Liquid-Black/10298395 however, they work well for a starter. you mentioned that you wanted that metal sound and that mostly comes from the amp setting ( all those knobs that you see ). any guitar can make any sound, some better than others but the amp really characterizes the sound. as for buying, go look around in guitar center and pawn shops, DO NOT buy from ebay or any private dealer, your sure to get crap and overpay. you can still buy online but from an official company not a single person.

I am wanting to buy a guitar so I can learn to play them. I don't know what kind I should buy or how much it will cost. I don't need anything fancy, but I do want one that is nice. Also, I have pretty small hands, so I don't know how that effects playing the guitar. Links would be great! Thanks!

Answer
Check out Takamine guitars. Tey are inexpensiv, nice sounding, easy to play and are very very reliable. Once they are set up, its for keeps.

Check this link and do try them. You will be amazed at how well they play.

What type of device could i get to record electric guitar, electric bass and electric drums onto my computer?

guitar link image

Loving Fai

I want to be able to record these Instruments directly into my computer, nothing professional, but i want it to sound clean. I looked into the "Behringer Guitar Link UCG102 USB Interface" but was told my electronic drums would probably be too much for the computer and could damage it. Does anyone know what i would need?

Answer
O would say if you are interested in using this for solos I would buy a Tascam US-122L, it records tone great. Midi inputs and all! But if you wanna do a rhythm track I would definitely look into a Logitech USB microphone. Both are very reasonable. I use my Electric Drum kit all the time on my Tascam and it works like a charm!

What is a fun song to learn on the acoustic guitar?

guitar link image

Landon

I can learn from either tabs or the actual music. Intermediate level, would be nice, I like folky songs, and stuff like Mumford and Sons. Also I like spanish guitar. Links would be nice. Thanks

Answer
Find Tommy Emmanuel's arrangement of "Blue Moon." Loads of fun to play.

Tab:

(I would get the Powertab arrangement though if I were you. Its a free download if you don't have it.)

Can the Behringer Guitar Link UCG102 record voice via mics as well?

guitar link image

some_dude_

i know it's a noob question, but i was just wondering if anyone has ever tried recording voice via the Behringer Guitar Link UCG102 by plugging a mic instead of a guitar? thanks!

Answer
A mic with a 1/4 inch cable may work but probably not well. You would be much better off just getting a cheap USB mic;
