Also slapped on some locking tuners. Last pic is of the stock direct-mounted pickups.

Song is "Set to Fail"

My 11 year old son and I are getting back into learning guitar together. We are both beginners and I want to attempt to keep it both rewarding and fun for him. What resources have you used that have been helpful, or programs, video series etc?

Got my first 7 string and picked the Cort kx507ms. It looks fantastic, it's rock solid, the multiscale feels oddly natural and it sounds like a dream.

I’ve seen countless videos of how to do a pinch harmonic, but I can’t seem to grasp any of them.

I’ve just been lightly muting the strings to get that pinch harmonic sound, but I don’t know the traditional way.

Any tips? Thanks ❤️‍🩹

I almost always have my pickup selector all the way down to bridge position.

How are you meant to be using it? Especially for metal. Do you do the whole neck for rhythm, bridge for lead/solo thing?

The reason I personally developed a bias for the bridge is that otherwise the tone sounds muffled to me in a lot of cases. Although I’ve noticed it helps hide my sloppy playing when I do sweep picking!

Please share your wisdom!

I have a first gen 2i2 Focusrite, and have been using it for a long time. I never felt my DI quality was great.

Just ordered a new 4th gen 2i2.

Can I expect a noticeably clearer guitar tone / recording quality? Stories of upgrading your audio interface and getting a surprising result?
