Never thought I would learn so much...

Hi all. Just come off the back of a great guitar session and thought I'd share some thoughts and lessons.

I now have 5 guitars, each very, very different and fantastic in there own right, I knew they were fantastic guitars and new that I wanted each for the unique sounds however what I didn't realise was how much having these guitars would teach me about how to get the best sound out of a guitar. After years and years of not being very happy with my guitar sound I'm finally beginning to understand how the different woods, pickups and output levels effect the amp and how to adjust the setting to get the best sound for each style of guitar

I could have bought a PRS or Gibson, however I wouldn't have learnt half the skills I now have and would still be stuck in the gain trap.

So if you need an excuse for the Mrs to allow another axe, tell her it will help you understand guitars better

   Good point, I'll try that.
