What is it that makes a guitar easier to play than other guitars? And what is it that makes it sound good?

conundrum asked:
What are the factors that make one guitar easier to play than another? I play guitar and I’ve noticed that some guitars are just easier to play. The pick seems to glide through the strings more fluidly and it seems to make a nice sound without much effort on some guitars, but on others it is hard to strum and it just sounds bad. My guitar is like this. I have a Gibson Epiphone and it sounds bad and I have trouble strumming on it. When I play someone else’s guitar or another guitar at a music store, I can play effortlessy. There are other guitars that sound bad and are hard to play, but it always seems like the one that I have is hard to play. Does it have to do with the strings? Does it have to do with how the strings are mounted? I was recently playing my roommate’s Schecter guitar, and the strings felt so firm, yet it was easy to play and it sounded good. I took the strings off of mine and put them on his. So the same strings that were on my bad sounding guitar, sounded good on his.
His guitar was also easier to play. The same exact strings that were on mine were used, yet his guitar was easier for me to play. I must be cursed.

Using Audacity to record line in guitar while playing the song?

Ruckamongus asked:
Is it possible in Audacity, to play a song, while recording my guitar, which is a direct line in? I’d rather not worry about chopping and putting to files together, and hoping they are in sync. For example, can I play a song, and have it record the guitar part I am playing, while the song is playing in Audacity.

Is the Guitar hero 3 controller bundle going to be compatible with rock band and vice versa?

circle_squared asked:
I have an Xbox 360. I figured that I can get the guitar hero 3 bundle with one guitar, and then buy the Rock Band bundle. That would mean I’d have one wireless les paul controller and one stratocaster. Will each guitar work with both games, so I don’t have to buy another guitar for each separate game?
