You say i should worry about pedals later, when im better u mean? How good should i be before i look at pedals. Because although ive only been playin for 5 months i consider myself to a pretty damn good player!! I can play all of slashs famous solos, november rain, estranged, dont cry, coma etc. The trouble comes with playing cords with the gain up high, the quality is poor. Also trying to get variety in the sounds department, slash always has his guitar sounding pretty much the same, so it makes his solos sound similar. Basically the way my amp is set up no matter wot i play it all sounds similar, i need loadsa variety.
