Learn Sweeps, Economic Sweep picking, Alternate Sweep Picking, Killswitch techniques, and how to slap a Les Paul, and you can be up there with Buckethead, Yngwie J. Malmsteen, and Dying Fetus!!!
I have been in love with guitars my whole life…7 yrs old and up.
I try to play some every day. Im an old mteal head.
I like my 87’ charvel model 6, Gibson LP std, and ESP horizon.
So, Motley Crue, Slaughter, Helloween, Twisted Sister, that kind of stuff? Or maybe more obscure stuff, like Morbid Angel, Cannibal Corpse, Accept? lol. I’m a mixed cookie, bits of everything rock and metal in me.

My favorites are Michael Schenker, Randy Rhoads, Maiden, Vivian Campbell.
I am real lucky to have Alex Lee from Holygrail on my team. He is a shreader, and gives me lessons a couple times a monthin this last year. I try to practice every day now.
Alex Lee is a total BA. I love the band too. Any metal head thrower is on my cools list automatically. That and he’s pretty funny in the vids. You are lucky to have him, as you said.

I sadly haven’t gotten anything. And the tragedy came to day. My beloved takamine g125 broke its first string. So sad. Now I have to wait for it to be restrung cause ain’t nobody got time fo dat. Luckily I still have my others.
Next time I restring my Les Paul, I get to replace a nut, level and recrown frets and am choosing to replace the pickups. Oh the joys of using one guitar almost exclusively for 3 years.
I’d put up pics, but my phone is being stupid, and my current PC doesn’t have an SD slot.
Besides, why would I put $200 worth of pickups in a $450 guitar when I can get the sound I want for $60? GFS makes some great (Not just for the price) pickups.
Edit I’m putting DiMarzios in my Scratch build and Seymour Duncans in my 355 replica.
