Or possibly there is a different guitar that I haven't considered?

Or could spend a bit more on something in RG range, or the Schecter (the Schecter at approx £350-400 is about top end I would want to spend), knowing I might not be able to get full use of it immediately (like being built for fast shredding - I can't even slow shred yet!), but will hopefully grow into it and be set for a couple of years.

So with all that in mind, I could go with a cheap but serviceable option the GIO (or perhaps an alternative), safe in the knowledge it'll get me started and that I could upgrade later as I improve. I've seen people say it's classed as an entry level guitar but has really good sound and build quality for the price, real bang for buck. I've also read some really good reviews for the Schecter Omen Extreme 6. I've seen some good stuff about one of those being a great first metal guitar if you want to spend a little more than the GIO. Then there's the RG range, which I know is a step up from the GIO, but a little bewildering with the different model numbers. The Ibanez GIO range I know is real entry level, but gets good solid reviews for the price. My problem though I still very much don't know what I don't know, and so any general advice would be appreciated. I've been looking at a lot of beginner metal guitar reviews. Arriving at the Power Chords lesson has probably caused this! I've purposely held off until I had at least a basic level of competency.I think I'm going to take the plunge in the next few months and perhaps start working towards playing a little heavier stuff. In fact it's more than that, I find myself spending ages looking at electric guitars on the internet and dreaming about them. But as I am starting to improve I must admit, my thoughts are turning towards an electric guitar. But that's all fine, because honestly I'm enjoying just working on the basic techniques and playing the pop / rock songs in the song app. I don't play metal at the moment because I'm no where near good enough to play the stuff I listen to (and because I have a basic acoustic guitar). Equally, really enjoy the forum, although admit I'm more a lurker than a poster.Īnyway, I'm a metalhead. I'm just working through the lessons, playing about an hour a day and not rushing but taking my time with it. Of course I'm still very much a beginner, but am slowly improving, and just really enjoy playing. It's ok (I think, the problem is I don't really know whether it's any good or not because I've no frame of reference for what a good or bad guitar feels like! It's a Lindo 933C which I know is a beginner guitar, but that's about all I know.

The band's humble, self-assured beginnings could have never guessed their music would lead Rolling Stone magazine to rank MESHUGGAH as one of music's "10 Most Important Hard and Heavy Bands" or that they'd create a sonic legacy equivalent to Stephen Hawking's contributions to theoretical physics.I started learning about 9 months ago on an acoustic we had lying around. Boston's prestigious Berklee College of Music and Hollywood's Musicians Institute both incorporate MESHUGGAH's back catalogue into their curriculum because it is such a crucial element in any modern musical education. Devotees include Tool, The Deftones, Kirk Hammett & Robert Trujillo of Metallica, Rob Halford of Judas Priest, and John Petrucci of Dream Theater. The mystical lore surrounding them pertains to the musical calculus of their odd-cycle time signatures shifting around common 4/4 time therefore, it isn't shocking to see some of metal's biggest names standing in the wings at MESHUGGAH shows, shaking their heads at the band's down-tuned, groove-laden, and precisely performed polyrhythms that never veer out of control. Unafraid to take risks and tackle new experiences, they create albums you can listen to a decade later and discover things you never noticed before. A group that has not sounded like anyone else in over seventeen years, MESHUGGAH are one of the few purely and honestly lateral-thinking forces genuinely dedicated to pushing the boundaries of extreme music simply because doing so comes naturally to them. Formed in the college town of Umeå in northern Sweden in 1987, MESHUGGAH have spent the last twenty years and cumulative thirteen releases developing, exploring, and redefining their complex, inimitable approach on the art of expressing the music they hear in their heads.
