Topic: re-setup for switch to lower gauge? (2 replies, posted in Guitars)
Hi All,
I own a Ibanez RG321. Factory setup gauge of strings on it are regular light gauge (.01 to .046). I use Daddario regular light gauge. I would like to switch to a lower guage, ernie ball super slinky (9 - 42).
I am not expert on this stuff but would i mess up setup of my guitar if i go ahead with this switch. Any other possible problem i should be aware of?
If it would then can i fix/re-setup guitar on my own, especially if i do not have much experience in this area. How complicated a job can it be and should i consider doing it on my own with guidance from more experienced and expert people on this forum.
Any advice is really appreciated. Thanks!

hi
As I said in my introduction, I quit playing 4 years ago. This is my only recording from that time. The first time i heard this solo, it blew me away. In my opinion the greatest guitar solo of all time. So i always wanted to learn it. It took me a year to get it to the level you hear in the recording and i recognize its still not perfect. I did not make the backing, i found it online.
I intend to pick up the guitar again and focusing on learning music theory and guitar technique and maybe some time down the line, create my own music.
Cheers

Hello! I am a 28 year old guy.
Brief Intro: Bought a guitar after listening to Pink Floyd's albums, The Wall and Dark Side of the Moon when I was 16 years of age (My fav band of all time, along with Radiohead). Played guitar for a good 8 years or so. Never really got to a good level though as I was self taught and my learning was random (off the internet and learning riffs/solos/songs from tabs etc). I felt there were many holes in my foundation and basics of music theory and guitar technique.
Cut a long story short, life got in the way, and also got a little frustrated as I wasn't getting to the level I wanted to be even though sometimes I practiced up to 6 to 8 hours a day. Anywho haven't picked up a guitar for a good 4 odd years.
But contemplating getting back into it and following a systematic training schedule to achieve my musical goals and dreams! I thought it would be a good idea to a join a guitar community for helping each other out and keeping motivated!
Here is a link of my cover of the final solo from Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb from back in the day!:
