Which guitar is the best if you want to learn to play metal music?

Question

Answer 1

Ibanzez or Jackson. Fender Stratocaster is good, if you get the HSS Strat

Answer 2

get an electric with a amp great music great sound

Answer 3

fender all the way, ibanez are great for playing metal, but a fender will sound better.

Answer 4

fender

Answer 5

You really need a fender. the ibanez will buzz and will sounds really bad when you hook it up to an amp and start screaming. you can get a nice fender for 600

Answer 6

I don't know about metal but learning is easier on an acoustic.The basic noob guiar is the Fender Starcaster/Stratocaster(same guitar different name)

Answer 7

ibanez definately

Answer 8

Gibson explorer if you get it in america its fair cheap is amazing

i would always go fender over ibanez out of the guitars you mentioned

then go for a boss metalzone, an big muff, boss dd7 digital distortion and a flange pedal. those are pretty much metal essentials

Answer 9

Dean Dimebag Razorback all the way!!

Answer 10

Of those two....You would want the fender. But make sure you get a stratocaster and not a telecaster. A fender telecaster is one of the last guitars you would want to shred on. It has a completely different tone that is more bluesy.

Answer 11

warriors, ibenez, or B.C Rich beasts.

there are alot more but those are the ones i recommend

or you can get a few distortion pedals to save you ALOT of money if you already have a guitar.

you can also try finding one that you like by trying them out in the store.

Make sure if your buying a new one that it feels right holding it.  it can make a big difference in your playing

Answer 12

It really depends on the amp or the effects. At www.musiciansfriend.com you can get the amp and effects for a low price. But I would get a fender. It is a better guitar. You should really start with an acoutstic though because its easier learning the acoustic and then starting with the electric.

Answer 13

Look, don't listen to this people.

First, Fender and Gibson make guitar for blues, jazz, rock, and hard rock, but not for metal.

If you want to play metal the best brands are Dean, Jackson, BC Rich, ESP, Iabnez and Schecter.

What I recomend? Don't start with metal. Start with soft rock and blues, the move to rock and metal, why? 'cause most metal music is hard, very hard for a beginner.

But, buy a Dean or a Jackson. They have good sound for metal, hard rock and blues.

Heres an ibanez value pack for beginners:

If you don't like, Dean makes some good and cheap guitars.
