My dad bought me a bright yellow Ibanez RG550 electric guitar used a while ago. I have the hard case with it, the whammy bar, and the pick for unscrewing the nuts on the neck. It is in pretty good condition but it is really, really old and you can see it has some wear on the neck from being played so much. There's no chips, scratches, etc. on it though. I've had it for a few years and I never play it so I want to sell it because I really need some money. Any idea on the rough estimate of how much money I could get for it?
I'm going to take it to a pawn shop to ask but I won't have a ride for a few more days so I was wondering what the rough estimate would be.



Answer
You are not going to get a decent deal from a pawnshop - that's about the worst way to sell a guitar. Google the model name to see what they're going for, then try craigslist or post notices on local bulletin boards, or put it on Ebay.

If the model is still being made, or was made within the last couple of years, a fair price for one in excellent condition would be about half the new price. A store would give you less than half of that.

Bodge


what i want to do is split a track into separate tracks e.g. separate the guitar from the rest of the track so i can mute it and play along with the song.


Answer
You cannot do that. It's virtually impossible.

Mixed tracks are like mixed paint. Once it's mixed, it's extremely difficult. Consider trying to get the color yellow from green.

I have been playing guitar for about 16 months and i really want to learn to play solos, i am starting to practice scales but i want to know some easy but yet challenging (if that makes any sense) solos for me to start practicing.


Answer
hmm I would say: the solos from seek and destroy by metallica because i hear they are based on the common scales, right side of the bed solo by atreyu is pretty easy, Some AC/DC solos are easy, a couple of metallica solos are easy too..but it also depends on what type of music you listen too..but as far as i know those are the easy yet challenging ones..

I am planning to take guitar lessons for 45 minutes per lesson a week but don't know how many lessons I should take in all as in not taking any more lessons. I know it all depends on the person's learning abilities and on the lessons but I want to know a precise amount of lessons to take because they are a little pricey.


Answer
That's the problem with learning from someone, you never really know how many lessons you need. Try going with an instructor that has a set plan like a '12 weeks beginners course' because they usually have a good gauge of what you need for basic proficiency, this also prevents you from burning out your wallet.

How many lessons you need really depends on 2 things:

1. The level of proficiency you want, what skills you want to learn
2. How much money you have, how many the lessons cost etc.

So try to find some middle ground. I'm self-taught using guitar videos and books so didn't have this problem... good luck!

You don't. It doesn't work. Only baby Jesus can but he doesn't partake in child play things.
