Hi there!

I know that every one has their own different style of playing the guitar or guitar play, and when your learning to play the guitar it can be hard enough to get a rhythm let alone a strum to keep in time with a band etc.

Until you find the right learn to play guitar course keep practicing because the sky is the limit.

When you look back in history you will find that there are a lot of different styles of guitar playing that have given that uniqueness to a lot of different bands.

Some of the styles of playing the guitar have come from classic rock, grunge, pop, metal, rock, hard rock, classical, Spanish to country, reggae, and blues.

The Gibson Electric Guitar

When we look at the electric guitar which has to be one of the most popular instruments in the world and look at some of the brands we can see that the Gibson (which is highly sought after) brand has quality craftsmanship.

In fact Gibson pioneered the Humbucker pick ups (which is why they give a massive rich and quality sustained sound).

Did you know that Jimmy Page from Led Zeplin and Slash from Guns n Roses are just two wicked guitarists who favor and like the Gibson Les Paul when they are going hard playing on the guitar?

Man the Gibson Les Paul has been and still is renowned for being built for reliability, the ease of use and a huge richness of sound (Cast your minds away for a minute and think of Slash hammering that Gibson Les Paul heavy body and a stop tailpiece).

And if you want an accurate tune o metric bridge plus two Humbucker pick ups that provide a unique natural sustain then you need to think of the Gibson Les Paul.

(Now sustain is very simply the length of time a note continues to ring after it is played.)

The thick wire frets and tonal qualities of the Les Paul make it a dream to play and at low volume the Les Paul provides a jazzy mellow round tone BUT if you crank it up you get a rich, leading sustained sound.

Check out AC/DC's Angus Young, now Angus Young loved to hammer out guitar play on the Gibson SG, he used to make SG sing.

The Gibson SG is a not to distant relative to the Gibson Les Paul and the SG is famous for its shape with its distinctive double cutaways.

Some say the distinctive double cutaways look like devils horns (I couldn't possibly comment on that). The Gibson SG is liked for its blues and rock sound.

Some models of the Gibson SG only come out with just one lead pick-up and that gives it its raw raunchy sound!

And NOW..........

The Fender Electric Guitar

Hey now the Fender electric guitar, yes the legionary Fender Stratocaster (or the Strat as some have called it) is the most famous of the Fender family. Now because I have owned one I can tell you that they are magic to play.

The Fender Stratocaster has kept the classical Fender design for more than 40(forty) years.
