Much better equipment! That Jackson will be a much better guitar to start with than the damaged one! And the fender mustang is great!

I've been working on the first six cord's of enter sandman..lol..
I've never seen that brand guitar but that means nothing. Looks like you got a nice amp though.
Jackson is a GREAT quality guitar.
Along with Charvel, the sister company, they used to have a very unique neck profile, which I got spoiled to when I bought me second guitar in 1986.
Caution- "House Of The Rising Sun" has a wicked up pick, that's a great exercise, but very difficult to master, to the point of being much easier to leave out in order to stay in time.

If you're a Metallica fan- try "For Whom The Bell Tolls".
It's fairly basic, but a great lesson in clarity and cleanliness of playing and timing.
Plus it's got a bonus of having that bell at the beginning, which you can use to tune the E string.
When I was just starting at age 16, I would play that song six hours straight some days.
I'm sure my mom loved that.

From the same album- "Fade To Black" is a great intermediate "acoustic" exercise.
Learn that intro cleanly and I can almost guarantee all your friends will be impressed.
Whenever I haven't played for a while, that's one of the first things I try.
That lets me gauge how rusty I am and it's a great work out.

up and down picking is essential to developing speed, it may be a little cumbersome at first, but once you get comfortable with it, it really raises your speed and technical level. I learned to play in the bluegrass style, where up and down picking is essential to flatpicking lead work.

Yes so far I'm impressed with the amp..
When I first got home I was like I didn't know if I got ripped off or what I was just on a mission to get what I wanted to get... Could have got one cheaper and smaller that would have worked but it was just a little more for the next one and a little more for this one and it seemed like the best bang for the buck. Speaking of which when I got home and did some comparison shopping which I should have done before I left but I was in such a hop that the guitar was broke after all that waiting I didn't care. I found out that it looks like I got a pretty good deal on it...
It has an app that connects to my Wi-Fi and I think I can control it from my phone.. per-dee-cool...
Here's some of my junk. A 1967 Sears Silvertone Bobkat made by Harmony. And my Pignose G60VR 60 watt all tube amp. I have more, but this is my main electric. I've had Gibsons and Fenders, but none sound as good as this Silvertone.

Jackson is a great guitar, you'll dig it and it won't need a lot of bridge adjustment
Oh yeah. I got neighbors across the street. They have a "cover band" and have invited me over a few times in the past. They all get drunk and high and sound like **** over there. I'm not all about that. The few times I've played with them, they've always said that's the best they've ever sounded and constantly ask me to turn it down. They have some big amps over there, but they're all transistorized. Mine blows them all to pieces. I'll never say another musician sucks......but everything they play ends up having the same bass line as the old Batman TV show. That's all the guy really knows how to play. They practice from time to time and Kitty says they flat out suck.....but they do try real hard.

At least for me it is...

I was talking about something else..
I know. I got your dummy hangin and swangin.
Paul Stanley from KISS played one of those. Helped make them famous.
I was hoping you jumped right into some Satriani or Michael Schenker. lolI fully expect you to pick up playing pretty quick, you don't do things half ***.
