    Hand (injury?)

    Only your doctor can tell you for sure, but a cyst is just a localized collection of fluid, and can often go away on their own, usually with few (if any) symptoms. I've had Baker's cysts a few times when I was younger, and there was nothing to do but wait for them to go away but, again, your...

    Hey everyone, new here!

    Welcome! you're in good company here. I've been playing on and off for - oh shit - almost 40 years. There are many others who left the fold and came back, as well. Enjoy! PS: Find at least 10-15 minutes EVERY DAY to p[ractice, or at least play. 10-15 minutes a day will do a LOT more for you...

    Hayley!

    This is really good. Faces can be so hard to get right, because even the slightest bit off fucks with the part of our brain the recognizes faces. Caricatures take it too far, so it’s not as bad, but just a little off and your in the “uncanny valley.” well done!!

    How would pick this?

    I’ve done patterns like that and typically it feels best as all down picks to me. The muting makes it sound best that way (to me).

    I have a ampero stomp 2 and I don't know what to do to make the hellwin ir to sound good

    Yeah, the conversion tool is crap and did a shit job. I replied to the original post about it a couple months ago. Sorry.

    Songs that give you goosebumps/make you emotional

    Gonna throw another one out there. Alright, two. one is the part of A7x’s “Victim” that starts with “So don’t need your salvation, and promises unkind.” That song may also have my favorite Syn solo, even though Brother Syn hates the song. Second would be Steve Vai’s “For the Love of God,” when...

    I have a ampero stomp 2 and I don't know what to do to make the hellwin ir to sound good

    Might be a crappy IR? There are no official ones that work outside AxeFX, and the ones I tried to extract from the Fractal syx file sounded exactly like you describe. In short, it didn’t work. I think there are people here who have made their own IRs from a real Hellwin cab, and if they see...

    Songs that give you goosebumps/make you emotional

    NDT in exist does it for me too, but there are plenty of others. The one that comes easiest to mind is the great Randy Rhoads at the end of Ozzy’s “Tonight” off the Diary of a Madman album. The outro solo hits it hard and gets me every time, even 40 years after I first heard it. Randy, man. Goddamn.

    The weird moving pattern is a program called “Game of Life.” If you go there now, click on the “obsession” link and wait a minute, and are NFT minded, you can mint something which no one yet knows the reason or meaning of, but it’s a safe bet it’s SOMETHING. More deets on the discord. repeated...

    Correct. Jupiter and Venus converged (from our perspective) on the night of March 1, despite being millions of actual miles apart.

    A Few Glitches

    I think this is still related to how the soundslice isn’t synced up to the new video source properly yet. Audentio is still working on that with no eta. 😢

    Exist

    Bar 311, and the "Rhythm Guitar 2 (Clean). It's transcribed for a drop D guitar, but I would virtually guarantee it was played and recorded in standard tuning, because it definitely lays better that way, so transpose the bottom string a whole step (6th fret becomes 4th, etc) and you're golden. I...

    What are you currently listening to?

    New EXTREME, and Nuno is pure fire.

    Rack Setup

    Maybe? Can't hurt to try. My first rig had a Fender M80 head that only had a front input. I had to leave a space empty above it and use an angle jack to really make it work, but it did.

    prevent unwanted sound

    Eliminating unwanted noise is a huge part of playing guitar with high gain. There are several techniques that can help Picking hand - any string heavier than the one you're playing on should be muted with the flesh of the palm, just like how you do chugging. You can also use the pinky to mute...

    I see a pattern of black dots on a white background that disappears after ~1 second. I can't make out a pattern. The browser tab also says "Life not Found?"
