I looked at some other of her videos, and I'm pretty sure I caught a glimpse of a Gibson logo on the headstock.

Price? There are too many different Gibson SG models, with a wide range of price stickers. Somebody might be able to identify it more accurately?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure its a Gibson SG Special in Alpine White. There are about a million (only a slight exaggeration) Gibson SG configurations ranging from $500 US to $3000+. Gibson SGs come in a bewildering array of configurations.

I just posted on your other thread, and if you do a little research, you can find a real Gibson for about $200 US more than the Epiphone from Ebay.

No, $200 MORE than the Epiphone in the other thread. That would put you into a Gibson SGJ14.

Yeah I never understood this - at all.

Why does Gibson sell a Les Paul and a Les Paul Special and a Les Paul Junior and an Epiphone Les Paul and an Epiphone Les Paul Special?

Same with SG's.

I mean if Epiphone is going to be their low-cost line, why sell the Junior and Special models as Gibsons?

Definitely not "clean" tone. Some of the posters who play more electric might be able to get more specific, but it sounds like distortion (definitely), chorus (almost certain), some delay (fairly certain), and probably reverb and compression.

One thing you might want to look at:




Paul Gilbert was the guitarist for Racer X and Mr. Big and has great shred tone. Plus he actually takes the time to demo his effects, making this a nice little tutorial.

Not unless you are independently wealthy. If you have $3000 to spend, I am sure we could kit you out with everything you need to sound like the video you posted.

But most people don't do it like that. They acquire gear over time. My suggestion is that unless you just want to blow through some cash, learn to play clean, guitar into amp, and once you have that down begin to add pedals. Distortion and delay, chorus and compression (your amp will probably have reverb), all have their place, but I think you will find it easier to actually learn to play guitar if you only have to worry about guitar and amp.

Once you have a little experience, you will be in a better position to judge what effects you need for "your" sound.

Just about any guitar amp can give you a distorted sound. Perhaps not just like in the videos - but distorted. Many amps have reverb. The current crop of modeling amps tends to have all sorts of effects built in.

Whether the modeling amps respond and sound good is worth months of internet bickering, with people stating their differing opinions as absolute truths, and fiercely disagreeing with any contrary views

What amp do you have? Or do you have one?

posternutbag suggested playing clean first, and I think it is a good idea. Learn to get the best out of your fingers (and pick): when to let the strings resonate, when to mute them, how to keep some of your strings quiet while you play notes on other strings. That will be even more useful when you turn up the gain on your amp for overdrive, or add an overdrive/fuzz/distortion pedal.

Sounds like you like distorted sounds. After clean, I think some way to get distorted is the next thing: either adjusting your amp or getting a pedal.
