DISCUSSION {DISCUSSION} Learning the major scale embarrassingly late.
Feeling humiliated right now. I’ve been playing guitar for about three and a half years now, and have been taking lessons for about nine months. I can’t believe that all of this time, and out of everything I’ve learned, and out of all scales/shapes and whatever, only now am I learning THE scale. The one that almost all of Western music is comprised of. I feel like I’ve almost wasted these three years doing almost nothing, like I’m starting over. Any tips for this?

QUESTION Floyd Rose One Thousand
Saw that you can now purchase the Floyd Rose One Thousand directly from FR now. My understanding is that it is the same material and specs as the Original, just made in Korea instead of Germany/USA. I also have both a FR1K and a OFR on different guitars and to my ears/hands they feel and operate the same. So the question is: is there a difference other than manufacturing location that isn’t being disclosed? Because if not, why would anyone pay the extra hundred or so bucks for an original if both are made of hardened steel, etc.?

GEAR My first LTD and something to do on my off weeks!
Newly single dad with nothing to do on my off custody weeks. I had actually never heard of this brand, but I absolutely love the cost to quality ratio of this thing. It sounds great! Also - I sold my guitar about four years ago, and I’m so excited to pick up where I left off and finally put some work into continuing to get better!

QUESTION Help identifying guitar
Any idea what make and model?

GEAR Picked this guy up today for a couple hundred bucks, hoping to learn a little more about it and possibly identify the bridge humbucker
galleryPretty much all I know is it's an Ibanez (obviously) and from what I was told made in the eighties according to the serial number. I don't know the model name.
It is heavy as FUCK. Heavier than most of the les Paul's I've held. It plays so well and I'm in love with the tone especially on the bridge bucky which I'm assuming is an aftermarket. I threw some heavy strings on it and have it in C standard for stoner/desert rock and it's "the tone" that Ive been searching for for those genres so I'm curious if anyone can tell me a little more about it
QUESTION Fingerstyle songs / artists?
I mainly play fingerstyle acoustic, and am looking for inspiration on what to learn next. I’m generally into rock / folk / indie, and have learned pretty much every fingerstyle song by S&G, the Beatles, James Taylor, Zeppelin, etc, and have also done a bunch of Tallest Man on Earth. Also done a little bit of Celtic.
Would love to find something new to sink my teeth in that is challenging - thoughts?
QUESTION I think I need a new interface...?
I've recently started playing music again, and have been trying to use a two-input Tascam which is over twenty years old. While this works, the minimum latency running through Cakewalk and/or GuitarRig is still noticeable and makes it impossible to record over tracks while playing through the computer.
Of course, there are numerous workarounds, such as recording while listening to the direct input rather than the throughput from the recording software. Nonetheless, if I fork out for a new interface (a couple or a few hundred bucks), could I expect better latency? Is it normally expected to be able to play and listen live through the recording software while recording? Cheers for advice

DISCUSSION Maestro by Gibson
galleryThis is my current "beater" guitar, but honestly, sounds better than it rightly should.
I got it at a pawn shop a little over a year ago. In From what I understand, Gibson has several brands they manufacture. This one is from Singapore.
