    Question about blending different amps into one guitar track

    The best way, is to record your guitar track 2, (or 3) different times, (played exactly the same way). When you copy a track, it's too perfect - BUT - a trick I use if I'm in a big hurry is to copy a raw guitar track and then either move it physically, so it's a split second behind the first...

    Question about blending different amps into one guitar track

    The best way to get a big sound is to record your guitar track - and then pan it hard left. Record another guitar track (same sound) and pan it hard right. That doubles your track and puts you in full stereo. It's impossible to play something exactly the same way twice, so the differences make...

    Interested in seeing actual instruments/gear used on A7X albums?

    He's a bit cryptic and aloof, but all in all - he's OK.

    Interested in seeing actual instruments/gear used on A7X albums?

    Did you check out this thread? https://synner.com/threads/custom-bogner-amp-used-on-coe-self-titled-and-more-ama.4855/ It was posted by my buddy, Alex Cain, (who has since deleted his account). He has the original Bogner that was used on Waking, COE & Self-Titled. I gave him my Hellwin when I...

    Comment by 'Brian Haner Sr.' in media 'PG's advice deserves a shot of Tequila!'

    Love this! Simple melody, BUT it's not just an up and down scale. The 1st two notes are a strange combo - A to D. This shows how melody jumps around. Now take those notes and play them out of order, backwards, etc. Change the rhythm so it's not recognizable as Tequila. Find something that sounds...

    Pedal setup

    Exactly what Ed said: tuner, comp, volume/wah, gain, delay/verb. This is the safest and most user-friendly setup. There are exceptions to this order - but it's usually done for a special effect. I have moved the comp around in the chain, depending on what I want compressed. Start with this setup...

    EDWARD SCISSORHANDS by Danny Elfman

    Great call. This completes the set. Batman is dark and epic. Beetlejuice is playful and bouncy. E S is poignant and stirring. Three totally different vibes - yet all unmistakably Elfman. Soundtracks are meant to support and enhance a movie, not necessarily be played by themselves. The vast...

    BEETLEJUICE, by Danny Elfman

    This one edges out the Batman score for me. One of my fav movies and scores of all time. There are certain teams that were destined to work together. You simply can't imagine one without the other; Burton/Elfman, Spielberg/Williams, Hitchcock/Hermann, etc. Simply epic.

    Exercises for strengthining pinky finger?

    These suggestions are all great. But if you want to do it quickly - play baby chords like D, G, C, E, A, etc. and then play some simple major scales WITHOUT using your index finger. Basically anything you play now. Just practice it using ONLY your other three fingers - like you have no index...

    BATMAN by Danny Elfman

    Great pick. One of my favorite definitions of "genius" is one's ability to change the course of things in their given field. Elfman changed movie scoring forever and created his own genre in the process. Nothing like Elfman existed before him and there are a ton of composers who borrowed from...

    Advanced 2nd Stairway to Heaven Chord?

    Aminmaj9 is what I've mostly seen it written as. The confusing thing is when you see "A - whatever", you assume there is an A in the bass. So I would probably write it as Aminmaj7/G#. I know the G# is already included in the chord, but this gives you a roadmap of what the bass is doing. And in...

    Hey Dhananjay! Play your metronome on 2 & 4. So if you want to play a groove at 100bpm - set your metronome to 50bpm (half). Each click say 2,4,2,4, then add a 1 & 3 in-between. Like this: 2, 4, 2, 4, 2341 2341 2341 etc. Then start emphasizing the 1 until it feels right. It's tricky at first...

    GREAT story! And exactly where Journey belongs. On a Waffle House jukebox. ; )

    This has been bothering me

    Ha! The Beatles don't have to be liked, but they should be respected for pushing musical boundaries. There are bands who are incredibly great, but don't really change the musical landscape. The Eagles come to mind. The Beatles changed music forever. Love them or hate them, their contributions...
