I play a no-name Les Paul style guitar, never played an SG, but I'd go with the LP. It's much more versatile. Les Pauls have been played by bands from Kula Shaker to System of a Down.
If you get an SG you are pretty much limited to Rock and Metal.

Try these, decent quality and very cheap:

I admit you will over-pay for a Gibson LP, but you will get a hand-crafted finish and a human to do QA on it.  With an Epi, you get a mass-produced ax with no QA.  However, it's up to you whether it's worth the price-drop or not.
Did I mention I wanted ALL the Epiphone Zakk Wylde models?

Sorry.  I think I am going to be sick.

Rock on!

this kinda sounds like a punk rock song. ( hope that doesnt offend you ) almost like a misfits song or an old rancid song, try C G D . it seemed to work when i played it like that . fast at frist then slow it down about 3rd or or 4th verus. any way I like it. reminds me of a girl I knew who died of an overdose. great lyrics. let me know when its done

I wouldn't put Avril Lavigne on that list, to be honest. I really don't think she's that great of a player or singer.

your right! her music is more poppy than anything else.

it doesnt matter what style a musicain plays, whether they play pop or rock or soul or punk or blues. That does not determine if they are good or not, it is what they play,how they pplay and what they play, and above all that it is personal preferance.

I would say I am not a pop fan at all but I do know that Mark King is an amazing bass player, and that is about as far as I go with pop or it might make me look like a closet pop fan

I tihnk avril can play and sing, I thin kshe is ok for a wee burd starting out young. She can only get better.

I know a very good female guitar player, she is not famous and her main instrument is the fiddle but she blows me away on a guitar and not only that, she is retired!! So she is at least 60 years old, but looks about 67. She might even be 70 but she can strum,pluck and jam.

SGinCYQX, fellow chordian: this is one of the reasons why it matters, we have now a list of famous, guitar players but this word (famous) is not the right word.
I prefer "famous in what they play.)
But just like you, I am a huge fan of Peter Green, I have almost every single song of Mark Knopfler, and I adore BB King. ATTENTION: if you listen to JJ CALE, you hear Mark Knopfler.
BB inspired a lot of people to play the guitar. How old he might be, (born in 1925) and still active as guitar player. I wish I was like that man. SGinCYQX (where did you get this nick name?) and all chordians: he was voted as the 3th best guitar player in the world, by Rolling Stone magazine:
1/ Jimi Hendrix
2/ Duane Allman and followed by
4) Eric Clapton
5) Robert Johnson
6) Chuck Berry.
You can find this information : google: BB King: Wikipedia.
What kind of guitar you have and what style do you play? I think you are a blues man.
I looked where you live, and this was always one of my dreams: living in Canada.
I really should appreciate if you mail me about New Foundland, and what is needed to move to Canada.

SGinCYQX: I don't have a clue that it matters, because you are maybe the best player.
No, I am just looking for a guitar player, I prefer in a band, and not like "the guitar man" and band.
You have a few types: "speed" guitar players, like MALMSTEEN, impossible to follow that guy, BONAMASSA too, too fast.
I am convinced, as I wrote, that in clubs, like in Memphis, New Orleans, there are some evenings, unbelievable players. I am just asking how guitar players, I saw in a club, remain a lot in that circle of bars. Are there still "talent scouts"?

GITAARDOCPHIL SAIS: NOTHING MATTERS, BUT FOR METALLICA: NOTHING ELSE MATTERS

The more I am on this site the more I learn. ME, always "greedy" to have the best.
My point of view was: the more expensive, the better. One thing I discovered, there are more guitars, a lot less expensive, and at least, if not better, as good.
The only definition that still stands is: CLOTHES.
An expensive costume, choosing an everlasting colour, is always better. I had to throw away or give away cheap costumes, but I still use the expensive costumes, 15 year later.
About guitars: I am really in love with a beautiful EPIPHONE CUSTOM in ALPINE WHITE.
I found one for 300$ on eBay, but having that much guitars, and still a few months to go, costing me a lot of money, I wait and see. Boys, since I am here, a lot of "statues about guitars" felt down. Back with my feet on earth.
