    "Hot Chocolate Chats" A New Endeavor For You Guys!

    I think the reason I feel like I must play is because of my destructive work ethic which I am sure I have mentioned before, my best doesn’t exist and never has, there is always something I am working on and I hate stopping while there is something to be done so when I don’t pick it up I tend to...

    Happy Birthday to Synyster Motherfu**ing Gates

    Wanted to wish you an absolutely amazing birthday Syn. This amazing place and community that you created has helped me out in more ways than anyone could ever know, you and Papa G are the coolest dudes around and are a huge reason I pick up the guitar every day. There have been so many times...

    Rammstein Self titled progress

    My new plan to tackle this is to record the tracks with the original song, I will then find a backing track and place it in. I will have to learn how to play to a backing track but seeing how I wanted to do this over a few weeks I feel this is the best approach. I plan to do the album again in...

    Dan Shipway's riff from July 6, 2019 at 12:05 pm

    New riff, it’s played with a mesa but my phone craps out any time I record distortion. Its pretty tough to get the main gallop but Im getting there.

    Rammstein Self titled progress

    Thanks for such inspiring words Jak honestly means more than you could imagine, the Deutschland riff is something that I have been practising but can’t record due to only having on guitar that is set up for drop c and that is having maintenance work done. Rammstein is an absolutely amazing bamd...

    Rammstein Self titled progress

    Just a quick update, this was going to be a project that was going to be done by the end of summer but It does not seem as though it will happen, in this clip, compared to The studio take, there are definitely latency issues, at the minute I am unable to find a way to resolve it as I...

    Songwriting help

    These are all really great tips that you have all shared and Im so happy that you all took the time to help out. One of the big things for me that I found out is that I come up with lots of ideas on acoustic, Im not sure what it is but ideas just seem to manifest themselves easier. I have also...

    Rammstein Self titled progress

    This is not close to the finished product, the guitars are still DI but I driving myself crazy with a debate of, is it right or wrong, I know that Richard and Paul tend to play behind or in front of the beat but it doesn’t sound right to me. I played it the way I felt it so maybe its just unique...

    Rammstein Self titled progress

    Probably not, Im a pretty shy person and wouldn’t really want to do that, I am looking at doing instrumentals until I can find a way of getting Tills voice. I decided to triple track it so i can have center and LR. I can definitely see how it is easy once you have the hang of it. I am just doing...

    The ringing is fixed, a re-track and some fading was all that needed to be done

    Rammstein Self titled progress

    This is for my work on the album “Rammstein” as it is a pretty hefty project that I thought I may as well share. I am extremely pleased to announce that recording of Auslander is finished, there are a few things that I have done differently in the song and the main one is not to drag out the...

    Timing issues

    Will do, at the minute Im playing it in drop d but the rhythm is transposed. The lead however cant be so it may be around saturday that its up as i have repairs to do on my Jackson (fell off my wall and the pickup selector switch broke)

    Timing issues

    The lead guitar, the rhythm I am okay with, its mainly the case of finding when in the riff it starts and also working on my reactions.

    Timing issues

    I am recording my Deutschland cover but I just cant seem to hit any of the notes on cue, It always seems like Its late or early and I cant get around it because I just cant seem to time it. Any advice as I prefer to do it in one take and Its making it almost impossible. I want to avoid cutting...

    Help me pick a guitar!!!

    I have a few questions before I make suggestions. What is your budget? Floating bridge or non floating? What body shapes do you like, do you like a strat or something like a flying v? Dont worry I also hate Gibson, the fact that they haven’t done anything that players have wanted since the 60s...
