    Rack Setup

    I haven’t seen a fridge like that in a long time. Some of the gear I don’t really recognize, but I’ll give you the basics. it should all plug into the power conditioner (top) so you can power on and off with one switch. It’s also a surge protector, vital in shithole club environments with...

    Has Music Evolution Become Stagnant?

    Great post idea! I think pop music, which is what you used to describe the evolution from the 40s to the 70s, has become increasingly stagnant. The advent of digital tracking, similar to how Netflix sees not only what show you watched, but what parts of shows were skipped over, etc, has led to...

    Lots of gear updates. I've graduated to a new AxeFX FM9, which I'm getting used to. I decided that for all the years I had the AxeFXIIXL+, I never REALLY dug deep into what it could do, so I signed up for a "master class" with Cooper Carter, the guy who engineered Syn's Cab Pack and also helped...

    Best of luck, Javier, but always know that just by being up there and auditioning, you've taken a step farther than 99% of all the people of the world. SERIOUSLY! It's brave and you're awesome!

    This is great bro, and it's so awesome to see you back here. A smidge of advice for you, though - when you hit a shit note, instead of grimacing and shouting at yourself, articulate it - bend it UP to the next note that works and shake the shit out of it. EVERYONE makes mistakes - learning how...

    Techniques that resulted in instant improvement for you?

    I noticed several months ago that I did this from time to time without even realizing it.

    Carnival of the Souls: The Final Sessions

    Welcome back, Anna! I've never listened to this album (or most Kiss albums, really - too many bandmates so obsessed with them that I was tired of them before I heard anything). I did go to the "reunion" tour show in, I think, early 1996. It's the only time I saw a show at Madison Square Garden...

    Synyster Gates Interview!

    I suspect he's talking about folks like Tim and Scott from Polyphia. I feel the same way as a fellow old - super impressive playing, but the songs don't grab me at all and it's not interesting to me. I cringe when he uses Ye in the same sentence as Elton John and The Beatles, though.

    Guitar Why Does A7X Track with TWO Tones

    No, it's someone who can't count to six.

    Wanting to create a song

    @Radu-Cristian Perde , I believe @Brian Haner Sr. spent a lot of time talking about that, and writing/performing an example of it on the spot, in one of his most recent live streams.

    Wanting to create a song

    Find a drumbeat to start with, even if it's a loop on YouTube (some form of programmable drums might be easier). Find a beat, find a tempo, and just start playing until you keep coming back to something over and over, and then keep playing it until you build on it and turn it into something you...

    My debut album is out, just wanted to know what you guys thought of it?

    I hear hints of Jahn Mayer, David Bowie, Some really interesting choices in arrangement and instrumentation that kept me surprised and interested. Some nice playing and cool guitar tones, too. And some really good hooks. There's a lot to be proud of here, Andrew! As for genre, it mostly seems...

    ⭕ NEW MERCH OUT!!! ⭕

    There have been a lot of spammers lately that seem to have created accounts a couple years ago then gone completely silent until they post spam this week. It’s been a little odd. I should have checked a few other things that I didn’t think of until now… I will in the future. Thx for the heads...

    My debut album is out, just wanted to know what you guys thought of it?

    I don't have Spotify. Is it on other platforms? Congratulations, by the way! It's wonderful when a lot of hard work comes to fruition!

    Break-up(sorry, nothing about guitars)

    And really, a breakup just means more time to play guitar, so TOTALLY RELEVANT!

    Break-up(sorry, nothing about guitars)

    Way too many times to count, including having an engagement broken off. Feel it. All of it. Be miserable for a bit. But learn from it. Better things on the horizon. There are a LOT of potential partners out there. Dating, especially when you're young, is all about finding what you like and...

    Are videos still not working?

    I really wish there was. The best I can get is "soon," but I don't know if soon means 3 days, 3 weeks, or 3 months.

    Are videos still not working?

    The videos are working (except PG's blues lessons), but the syncing the videos with the soundslice tablature is still being worked on.
