the main focus of R-Shred isnt the guitar, its more about the music as a whole...

yea i know you didnt mean anything bad sorry if i gave that impression. most of my songs i play in Drop D tuning. drop D really opens up a whole new chapter in playing guitar: chords are simplified, its easier to play around the fret board when im soloing and it makes it easier to play certain chords and such that arent all that accessable in standard tuning.

i played drop C for awhile and tried out drop Bb, but when you're tuned that low, you lose a lot of definition in your tone.

Oh yeah I have a question about thicker strings Bodom, thanks for bringing that up:

If you have thicker strings, if you are tapping like especially on the first string, will it sound better ? Will it be easier ? Will you hear it better ? I hear they're hard on your fingers...

Well when you tune down 2 whole steps the regular strings get real loose and floppy. So by using thicker strings it really tightens them up. So yeah it sounds better, and it makes it easier to play. Its kinda like the same tension you get when you use regular strings in reg tuning. As for them being hard on the fingers I dont think, Maybe for a beginner. I use .011/.049

Sorry man, kinda forgot about that part. Yeah its going to be easier. The strings are tighter so you get more sound out of them.

i smoke a lot and my throat just cant take the screaming vocals. i can sing kinda grunge like, but it doesnt fit my music. also, i dont like to do too many things that i wouldnt be able to play or do live.

ooh, smoking sucks.
id say "convert your style to grunge" but that would just be stupid
play what you like, as long as its good, not just what you CAN play but doesn't fit your style
i can not sing and play guitar at all, i dono how i should change that ?

practice...get an acoustic guitar and start with basic chord progressions and harmonize your vocal with the chords you're playing.
