      @@acog_quarks8753 all just depends on how you wanna count it in this case. You could easily count this as 4/4 and all the notes you're playing are triplets. Or like the notation in the video you could count it as 8th notes in 3/4. I personally would count to this in 6/8 in my head if I were playing along to it.

    I think the humbucker is kind of cheating in a way. I for one love single coils for modern metal tones although mine are stacked which is not the same as vintage. My first electric guitar was an Epiphone Special-I and then I got an Yngwie Strat years later.

    My only ever problem was with my strat, that the bridge pickup wasn't that chunky for chordwork, and the B+M setting sounded muddy. On the other hand, it sounded articulate and it was cutting trough any mix easily, without any EQ tricks or whatsoever. The SSS Strat-> TC booster-> Orange Microterror+ 212 Laney cab will always be my budget-rehearsal-or-travelling Setup

    I always had HH guitars before, but recently got a standard SSS strat. The best heavy tones I could get were 1st and 2nd position with the tone knob very low and a lot of distortion. 3rd and 5th worked better for a hard rock tone with an overdrive pedal. Very versatile guitar.

    • @dinos9607
      @dinos9607 ปีที่แล้ว

      You can play metal with a telecaster if you like. While the coils influence at lot the sound, at the end of the day it is the amp and the distortions that make all the difference. Cheap guitars + expensive amps tests just keep showing that. While I would not advise any serious player to take a cheap 100 dollar guitar (as their feel of play does not inspire), a mid-range guitar between 400 to a 1000 dollars is all any guitarist requires to play even at a professional level, provided he is equipped with the right amps. An expensive guitar with the wrong amps will render worse results.
