    What is your guys favorite tuning to play in?

    I will have to look into how to set it up properly or where a decent luthier is.

    What is your guys favorite tuning to play in?

    I practice and write in drop C. Helps with transposing and sounds heavy as anything. I have a pretty big question though while we are on the subject. I am playing 9s and i’m in drop c but if I were to up the gauges to balance tension, would it screw with the neck or not, I used 10s in standard...

    Synyster Gates School Report Project (Jak's June Contest)

    Repost from the original thread as I wasn’t too sure which to put it on I always wanted to learn guitar but the beginning seemed so slow and frustrating😂😂 (This is a pretty waffley report of sorts which hasn’t got structure or a plan, just opening up about my guitar past, likes etc) I started...

    Needing Help Changing a Song's Pitch + Tuning Questions

    Hey Jak, if you have a DAW such as reaper you can put a pitch change effect on the master. As stated before it is 1.5 steps down from Drop D.

    The meaty guitar project

    I am trying to push the limits of the hardware and software i have, all tracks will be done using different presets to ensure clarity, seems like a pretty fun thing to do to break up the serious ness of covering Rammsteins self titled. I triple track usually so I can pan l+R and have a centeral...

    The meaty guitar project

    I have heard from several sources that ways bands get beef is double racking guitars. It got me thinking, why double them, why not quad track. This quickly escalated and coupled with my having stupid ideas it got out of hand fast. This is the start of the 96 track riff project.

    Guitar Playing

    Try getting a noise gate, useful to have in every rig. Even if it is not the solution to this problem in particular it a piece of kit that is invaluable.

    Site Problems – Papa Gates

    Songwriting is a painful process for me mainly because of how my views change. I could come up with a riff and play it, track it and then come back to it and have not the slightest clue on how the hell i came up with a fretboard disaster XD. Its getting there but Its definitely an art form.

    Songwriting

    I have recently looked into a larger aspect of performing arts with lighting and pyrotechnics (as well as music). It got me thinking about song writing and rammstein. Rammstein write songs that lend themselves to pyro and the way that their songs are structured and the way they write is...
