I was always taught to never have my thumb even start to creep over the neck. srv, hendrix etc used their thumbs for chords. try doing it. very challenging That still doesn't negate the fact that there's a plethora of different chord voicings for a single chord, even on the same fret; which don't r...

I was always taught to never have my thumb even start to creep over the neck. With a seemingly endless myriad of chord voicings for a single chord, there's really no excuse for using your thumb; in my opinion. I also never used to use my pinky and forced myself to start using it. It took about a yea...

There's four bands I recognize/would want to see.

there was just a thread on this

portland or SF

I've often thought about this as a side job, or hell maybe even a career; since shitty sound guys are abundant, and I'm a sound quality nazi.

Kellan

be like a freelance sound guy or whatever you'd call that. That endeavor yields a lot more money than selling this gear for 3k will, over time.

Kellan

Do sound for a bunch of bands. And when you hear how much they suck, maybe you won't be that crazy about wanting to play with them. At least they'll have good sound though (granted you know how to stage good sound). Who says you don't have to be in a band? Play in a band and do the sound thing too. ...

AOD has a good point.

i've been told before jumping into scales, memorize the notes on the neck. you need to know them well enough to have a fret pointed out and naming the note out quick. I personally don't think this is necessarily true. I've known a ton of different scale shapes on guitar for years now without having...

Learn the circle of fifths, plus harmonic minor and melodic minor scale shapes; and you'll be WELL on your way to becoming an established lead player.

I own a Schecter C-7 Blackjack and adore it. Plays incredible for the price and considering it's made in Korea. I just bought an LTD H-207 for cheap which I only really have good things to say about except for the pickups. But that's to be expected and it's an 80 dollar fix. Tuners leave something t...

I'd been wanting to get a "backup" 7-string to my Schecter C-7 Blackjack for a while now, but it was never at the forefront of my mind. Always a back-burner type thing. Saw an add on Craigslist for an LTD H-207 for $250, met up with the guy and walked away with it for $225. Has your expect...

well, they could pick up a guitar and play the songs for you. could the doctor sit in front of a sampler pad and play all the hits exactly like they are in one of his songs? no Could a composer play all the instruments of a symphony he wrote at the same time? No Is the composer's job to even play a...

I personally don't have a huge problem with them. They're just more hassle than they're worth.

And intonation. Saddle locks/set screws underneath strings at tension = dumbest fucking thing ever.

Kellan

Even though it's too late: You want the bridge as parallel to the body as you can get it. So basically you get it parallel by tightening or loosening the screws in the back, tune, it's fucked up again, tighten/loosen, tune, repeat processes; and eventually shit starts to pan out. Then you adjust int...

I have fender spring reverb. Nothing quite like it.

Brenny doesn't want to sit around the campfire and tell Hollis stories while making vegan smores

If there's enough people going should we all have our own little PBB camp?

Kellan

I'm going to start planning for this as well.

It's some kind of lute/guitar hybrid thing. I've seen a lute similar to that before on this video with Sting playing John Dowland's* "Can She Forgive/Excuse My Wrongs"

This Vox Valvetronics thing looks awesome and the reviews all sound like it's a great amp.
I've played through one Vox combo and I loved it, honestly. Great tone.

Kellan

I'm really not even interested in getting another amp, it was just kind of a "should I impulse buy this" thing.
But now that I'm on this train of though, what might be a good, single 12 all tube combo for practice/small gigging/recording?

Kellan

Looking on my local craigslist there's a guy selling a Marshall Valvestate (tube preamp, solid state power) 100w 1x12 combo for $250 obo. I currently play through a Fender 60w all tube 4x10 combo, which is basically too loud to play in my room before it sounds good. I know the MG series (yuck) repla...

Kellan

Totally. Modern day vernacular music, if you want to refer to it as that; is sort of a double edged sword in that respect. There's next to no requisite musical knowledge to be had if you want to play in a rock band or whatever; but on the other hand you've started to venture into music in general wi...

I played saxophone from 5th grade through the end of high school, and played recorder in some performance thing we all did in 3rd grade; so essentially I've been reading since I was in 3rd grade. I played guitar in jazz band for three years in high school, and one year in junior college. I'm debatin...

It's not bad music. I just think it could be more enjoyable to me, personally, if you'd have some phrase development in the percussion. It's one spastic phrase that could be really awesome if answered by another similar phrase. But it's just one phrase, another completely different one, another comp...

Man if you applied this much dedication to getting a job, or music, or learning; there's no telling where you could go. I'm being dead serious.

That's pretty fucking cool actually.

Kellan

His technique does look pretty bad. However I think it's because his fingers are so god damned long; fucking hell. Seriously, look at that shit. His pinky alone is maybe just short of a neck-and-a-half long/across.

just stop. sometimes I don't play guitar for essentially a few weeks. then one day out of the blue I'm inspired and the creative juices just flow.

Well when you play actual, real chord voicings you're going to want to have your ring finger on the 5th so you can change the chord voicing with your pinky finger. I mean even an add9 chord tells you this (1-5-9), much less other chord voicings that start to stray from the stereotypical fingering of...

You're right that identical pitches are, well, identical. But there's certain things you can't really reproduce on a completely electronic instrument. In my opinion anyway. There's little nuances that playing a "live" or "real" (for lack of a better term, no offense) instrument o...
