    The Stage turns 4!

    I was at work, desperately trying to drown out all the BS political talks in the office (y'know, 2016, the year everyone and their mother was obsessed with Donald Trump). It was a welcome escapism :LOL:.

    Finally got around to do Music Theory Request #5, in video format this time. I've added it to the Media section under Tutorials. Let me know of any feedback you have. I'll be thinking of a poll soon enough.

    @Ids Schiere pipe dream that :LOL: . @Lindsey yeah. Turns out classical guitar strings do not have a knot near the bridge. You have to make one from the string itself :LOL:

    Had to re-string my kid's ukulele/classical guitar (technically the first, I use the tuning of a standard guitar :LOL: ) . It could have taken me 30 minutes or 2 hours. Which one do you think it is?

    Fingerpicking/non-strumming songs

    Straight up fingerpicking mostly. Or something that could be either fingerpicked or played with a pick like in Metallica songs. Thanks for the suggestions.

    Fingerpicking/non-strumming songs

    Hey. Can you help me out with some songs that use fingerpicking or otherwise non-strummed guitars? Think ...And Justice For All, Buried Alive, Fade To Black...that kind of stuff. I wanna go through the fingerpicking lessons again, but I also want to learn some songs. Thanks in advance...

    Songwriting

    True that. Waiting for inspiration is like waiting for a sign to do something. You need to do it or not, simple as that. You're echoing my thoughts. Kinda like you've been doing this a lot longer than I have :LOL:.

    Songwriting

    Can concur. There are moments when songs come out just right but there are also times when the first ideas are like: "I shouldn't be allowed near instruments, like ever again. I think I heard the musical repo-men coming to take my computer, guitars, and piano". Writer's block might be an...

    Tour Update from the Band - Fan Email

    Glad to hear they're doing fine. Honestly, an inward approach seems like the only way to keep sane. And yeah, as much as I appreciate bands trying to keep a seemingly normal schedule...it ain't working for me either. I mean props to them for doing it but...I dunno, I just don't feel it.

    RIP EVH

    Every guitarist knows how good EVH was, even though he may fly under the radar a lot. To me, he seems to have been in music what a certain F1 driver from Australia is now. Someone who you might not support or follow too much, but can't help but love and want the best for simply because they're...

    I too am a bit of a Chandler Bing in such moments. I saw your post, wanted to comment something but didn't really know what. It honestly sucks that you found out like this and I feel for you, especially since it seems he was a special person to you. Sending you some virtual hugs and love. You'll...

    Songwriting

    That...might be doable. But the same thing with regards to bursts is applied here as well. It's not a bad thing that it's like this, it's just something you need to be aware of.

    Songwriting

    One new song a week is doable, but you need to think of this as a sort of average. That's because there will be many times where you'll have bursts of creativity and you'll be able to write a song a day. And there will be drought times where nothing will stick. As someone who attempted, without...

    Question about IRs

    There ain't nothing subtle about it when we're talking amp heads followed by cabinets in your Reaper FX screen :LOL:. The difference is like...planetary. Basically, how I know IRs are used is the following. When in Reaper, say you want a really cool distorsion. You get a hold of an awesome free...

    Yeah, having finally joined the fray of promoting my stuff, I truly feel for you. Hope you have better luck next time. You guys have some awesome tunes :D.

    Question about IRs

    IRs are something called impulse responses. They are usually used with VSTs, particularly with the amp cabinet part. They basically control how your distorted sound...sounds. Basically, they modulate your distorsion so it doesn't sound like a fuzzy mess. I am not sure if physical amps have them...

    Every A7X solo not by Syn

    So YouTube's algorithm finally gave me something interesting again: There's a bunch of these I never knew were not by Syn.

    TO ALL NEW USERS AND BEGINNERS.....we need to talk!

    True that. On a side note, if I don't forget, I shall whitelist the site in AdBlock+. But holy shit, the ads I see on mobile are so annoying. Hint: it's election season in the land of choice...
