Metal Sound On My Guitar?

[Fender]

Yep should save you $40. You get the Cube 15x for $100. Pretty much any 15 watt amp is going to be around that price, but the Cube has a lot of effects built in and makes it a great value for the price. Fender and Marshall try to sell their own 15 watt amps for around $130. Never buy one of them, you're paying soley for the name.

Drop D is good for thrash and power metal with an edge.

[Fender]

It's good for making power chords easier than they normally are.

ok, now anyone know of any good cheap Tuners? somone told me my guitar sounded like a cat being ***** by a elephant.

[Fender]

Good cheap tuners? No. Just buy an electronic tuner at the store and tune it every 15 minutes like all us had to with our first guitars. Just go to your music store and buy a $20 Korg or something.

Putting in new tuners would be a lot of work for a beginner and you may end up messing up your guitar and not being able to use it. If you insist upon it though I'd buy some Grovers.

You can find online tuners that will play for you the individual notes that the strings should sound like.

EDIT: Here you go bro.

Roland makes great solid state practice amps. Do yourself a favor and buy the Cube 15x and some sort of cheap Ibanez if you want to play metal. I'm gonna recommend the Ibanez GRX20.

Also for the metal sound, buy an Ibanez DS7 distortion pedal:

Try de-tuning for a more metal sound. Drop D, Drop C, things like that. Buy some larger gauge strings like some Ernie Ball's Not Evens to help you get to these tunings.

drop B would be my personal choice. say goodbye to retuning your strings normaly after that though.
aside from that, the ibanez DS7 is great for the price. get it.

Dude I go down to B, A#, A all the time, my strings are fine and I'm in standard right now.

I tune it and retune all the time and I've just got a shitty squier.

Drop B and E is my favourite. Then you have C Standard and for that grunge/metal feeling Drop D is the way to go.

Ever tried Drop A? Tonnes of fun for me because I can play that All Along The Watchtower cover from BSG. .

A great amp to buy with distortion effects is the Roland Cube30x. You can get such clean sounds from it and with the great presets it has, metal sounds too .
