Can anybody help me identify a guitar model I saw in a store about a year ago?
It was an Ibanez with a dark blue/green/coral transparent finish
Fairly certain it had an EMG 81 in the bridge position and a different EMG with a gold EMG logo in the neck position
Gold hardware and was around 1000 bucks canadian
Looked online and on the ibanez website to no avail

As for learning there's a lot of free content out there. I'd start with learning a few easy songs you like so you can at least see the progress you're making before you focus on technique and theory. I started out playing AC/DC and Metallica with a drummer at school which was great because I didn't do any lead/solo stuff for the first year. I just focused on playing riffs and that laid a good foundation.

Those Gibraltar II bridges are really comfortable to play.
Like Dominik said, a good set up with new strings etc would be a good idea, especially if its been sat in the store for a while.

One of the most epic zero to hero solo blasts is in this song. It's short, listen to it all, then the solo hits you like a brick.

I saw in your other thread that you work in IT - do you have a background in woodwork? I'd be interested to understand the process you went through. I have maximum respect for craftsmen.

I think it's simplistic but just buy a guitar, get it set up like Dom mentioned, and start playing simple riffs that you like. That will give you an idea of how the guitar works, introduce you to simple techniques like hammer-ons/slides, help you develop rhythm and just give you a decent foundation to build from. From there, you can start to learn a few scales and some basic theory if you're keen on doing so. What has worked for me is just learning progressively more difficult stuff over the past two years and developing my skills slowly. If you have the means, an instructor could really help you. Ultimately, I think guitar is like lifting or any other skill in that you don't need the best program, coaching/instruction or anything fancy; all you need to do is start and stick with it for the long haul. I hope this helps.if you all were to start playing today, what route would you take as far as economical gear/where should i learn from? really want to start learning guitar in the new year. sorry if that info is itt somewhere

and, of course, without this, there's no way you could properly play

Or you could find a nice Squier affinity strat or tele, or entry level Jackson or Ibanez and a 30 watt modeling amp and go to town

Been trying pretty hard over the past few weeks to nail this tappity-tap song:
Any tips for being able to tap fast on time outside of simply ramping up the speed gradually? The section at 2:06 in particular has been trouble because of the chords inserted in the middle of the tapping, I feel like my hands just don't move fast enough lol

Most people don't know that they should anchor their right hand on the neck (bass strings)/body of the guitar for stability when tapping. This makes it easy to quickly set up a tap. Of course tap with your right hand middle finger so you don't have a pick switch issue. Post a vid of you playing it for more specific advice.

If you're tapping on low fret numbers, where there is no body to anchor onto, say the 7th fret with your right hand, then you anchor strictly on the neck's bass strings (with your forearm on the body). If you're tapping on the bass strings on low frets where there is no neck to anchor onto, then you anchor with your right hand pinky on the side on the neck of the treble strings while muting the strings with your left hand.
Sometimes it's just best to learn to tap at the 7th fret on all strings first because the anchoring techniques used there will be the same when you tap at the 17th fret, so it's just best to learn where there's less to anchor onto so it's super easy when you also have the body to also support your hand.

I was jacking off to this earlier guyz. Just a dude imitating Paul Gilbert better than anyone I've ever head.
Very few people can nail Paul's phrasing, meter etc
Then this other dude getting that Impelliteri action going:
