Washburn W165PRO


This time review come from washburn guitar. This W165PRO series features a mahogany body and the neck build from maple, 22 jumbo fret and no inlay. The body and neck guitar have glossy black finish other than crimson red and silver. The guitar uses wasburn own “Buzz Freiten” tuning system and bridge, it can provide very stable tuning. Two passive Humbucking pick up attaches to the guitar, the Seymour Duncan ’59 in the neck and the Seymour Duncan custom in the bridge with 3-way selector. Unique feature from this guitar is Washburn patented VCC ( Voice Contour Control ). This replace The guitars two tone nobs with a gradual coil tap, as the tone nobs are turned down the guitar pickups take on a more single coil sound.

Its Seymour Duncan and solid Mahogany body can handle heavy distortion, im sure metal guitaris will love it. There was no fretbuzz, the pickups where adjusted right, it can withstand a live situation. It can play various music such as metal, blues, etc. It comes handy, and washburn has a great job on this product. Anyone have try it?? I wonder if I can play with it. Well anyway, this is nice product. (taken from http://www.ultimate-guitar.com )

The Speed Picking



This time I want to talk about speed picking, its good for guitaris that love shred style. A lot of people fell desperate how to maintain their speed picking. They don’t know how to improve the picking style. Exacthly, there is no way that are true. Every people have a way and different metode to improve their picking style. Sometimes people learn it by watching video lesson, or from a guitar book.. Same as what I do long time ago. But years over years I practice, I cant get what I want, I don’t achieved a good picking style and my speed also very average.

I think the best way is by learn from other people ( your friend maybe ) that have ability in it. You can share with them and practice together so you can really have motivation in it. Other way is by join in the community online that agains guitar technic. by join in it, you can share with other people, ask them, and learn from them. If you have an abilty on basic picking, now you can continue to more advanced lesson such as lesson from Paul Gilbert on her “ Intense Rock” video, Michael Angelo Batio also and maybe from Ritchie Kotzen. Watch their video and learn more from it, hope this post can be motivate you all. Don’t give up, me too don’t give until now, and I style practice hard how to maintain my speed picking. But speed is not a major anyway. See u in next post.

Ibanez PGM 301


The Ibanez pgm 301 is a signature guitar for paul gilbert. This shaped RG guitar can make you can travel fast in the 24 fret prestige neck. The RG series is one of the most best selling now other than Stratocaster. The brand Ibanez itself have a great value in common guitaris such as steve vai, john petrucci and many other.This PGM series features 24 fret neck, maple fretboard, and also DiMarzio pickup. Yeah a good one choice to make you pro guitaris, but I have no one. With it painted F-holes, reverse headstock, and brilliant white finished, the PGM make it one of most guitar that we dreamed about.

The DiMarzio pickup configuration is HSH and 5 way switching that can multiply your choice of tune style. As to the price, well quite a bit cheaper than I have though, make you can choose it as your guitar. Play as fast as you can in this 24 fret PGM series, play like paul gilbert, its offer great tunes and play ability. It can provide you tighter string tension and great sustain too. I will choose this guitar if I have more money but I don’t have money either. Someday I will have it, yeah someday.

“ when it comes down to playing a straight, no-nonsense, face-melting shred guitar solo, I go straight to my PGM301. It is the easiest guitar to play in my whole collection, and still have the best balance of picking clarity and percussive thickness."-Paul Gilbert-

guitar???yeah everyone know it

hi everyone, are u all do know about guitar??i mean very know it deeply??. yeah..maybe yes maybe no.The guitar is a musical instrument with ancient roots that is used in a wide variety of musical styles. It typically has six strings, but four, seven, eight, ten, and twelve string guitars also exist.

Guitars are recognized as one of the primary instruments in blues, country, flamenco, rock music, and many forms of pop. There is also a solo classical instrument. Guitars may be played acoustically, where the tone is produced by vibration of the strings and modulated by the hollow body, or they may rely on an amplifier that can electronically manipulate tone. Such electric guitars were introduced in the 20th century.
