I never knew Amy played the guitar.
Great. On the bass I'm developing more speed. Currently working on speed techniques. On the guitar I'm working on the A minor scale and doing a scramble drill with in. Filling in different lines to make it sound different but in tune. Working on alternative picking as well with it. I'm realizing with alternative picking that doesn't mean every string has to be up down. When you get the hang of it you'll know when it's nessasary to go up down. Also, a few CCR songs like "Foutunate Son" and Bad Moon Rising" are helping me with chord changes. They use a lot of A, D, C G and F chords. Must know chord shapes.
MY FENDER AMERICAN PROFESSIONAL II STRATOCASTER IS HERE FELLAS!!! AN ABSOLUTE AMAZING GUITAR. VERY VERSATILE. PHENOMENAL SOUND!!!
BEEN WAITING SINCE NOVEMBER FOR THIS STRAT. GOT IT FROM SWEETWATER. THEY DON'T MAKE A LOT IN THE SUNBURST COLOR APPARENTLY. IT HAS THE HSS PICKUPS.
I have the Fender Mustang GTX100 Amp. Love this Amp. Has a ton of preset sounds already available.

So for now I'm just rocking wit the Stratocaster and my Fender American Professional P Bass.
Now, my next guitar will be my semi-hollowbody. I want a versatile collection. So I'm gonna go with the Gibson ES335. Same one B.B. King plays.
I ain't fuckin around Black. I want the best of the best so I don't have to worry about upgrading and trading in down the road. These instruments are timeless and can be kept forever with proper maintenance.
Yeah, if you got the means just get the top of the line shit that fits what you wanna play and be done with it. Buying an instrument is an investment. They increase in value over time. If you don't have the money right away just save up towards it. The Sunburst sadowsky metroline J bass I'm gonna get is $3,780. And guess what..............that muthafucka will be mine!!!!!!!!! No exceptions. No excuses. I work hard taking care of others, I deserve top of the line equipment.

Yeah that is weird with that amp you described. It's always best to start off clean if possible and add whatever sound your aiming for. I do need your help working with pedals. Which ones should I look at for a beginner. I definitely need a looper as well. Especially since I'm playing both bass and guitar.I'm pretty set on guitars...for now, but I want a real tube amp...I'm chasing tone now.
I have a Fender Performer, which has a tube channel, but that channel is the distortion one....kinda doesn't make sense to me.
I'd rather my clean channel is the tube one.
Its a great amp, but it only has 2 settings... loud, and LOUD AS HELL!
But, I got it for only a few dollars.
I actually paid a few dollars for...I believe a Fender Twin Reverb plug-in on my Amplitube...it sounds great, but I don't use it much.
What other stuff is new? You the one who put me up on Guitar Tab app.

Police in Toronto are looking for a man who stole an $8,000 guitar from a music shop last month.
The culprit was able to lift the Gibson Custom Shop 60th Anniversary ’59 Les Paul Standard...by stuffing it down his pants and walking right out the door.
Security footage showed the individual wrestling the guitar into his pants, exiting the shop, and hopping into a waiting getaway car. The shop didn't even discover the theft until a week later, at which point a police report was filed.

AND THAT'S THE 1ST REASON WHY I WANT ONE.If for no other reason, I got a wah wah to play the theme from Shaft…
shit is HARD AF
Octave below the 4 on the G string.@woodchuck
Wood, your right. This song is a tad bit tricky. Though I got the intro. Question is, I'm trying to figure out where that 2 comes in on the A string.
Yeah, I played it over and over till I figured it out. Gotta slide quickly to get there though. I'm starting to get it. You have to play it about 10,000 times to get it down just right timing wise. A few more weeks and I will be ready to move onto the second part. James Jamerson's baselines are tricky as fuck. You don't think they are listening to them but you gotta have some speed to do them. Working on his baselines, Brothers Johnson's stomp and Kool and the Gangs baselines are helping me with technique, speed and stretching my fingers.
