    Overview of the Electric Guitar – Lesson 1

    This is a site issue with one of our vendors. We're in the process of changing that out, and I don't have an ETA yet. Apologies.

    Tone

    The best tone for you is the one that inspires you to play your very best. Start with just your amp - no effects. Aside from the volume, set every dial in the middle, whether thats "noon" or "5" or whatever. Right in the middle. From there, sweep every dial, one at a time, all the way down...

    Lesson Videos not working

    Everyone has the problem - it's a site problem, not a user issue.

    Yeah, the camera will do that to just about everyone 😆

    Comment by 'Ed Seith' in media 'Metallica - For Whom The Bell Tolls (Cover)'

    I like your tone, and that's a nice HB. Playing is solid, but Metallica is about being REALLY tight, and one some of the chugging and some of the single note passages, your timing/precision could tighten up a bit. Really solid though, and a great first video. If you ever intend to gig, you're...

    Lesson Videos not working

    It is a site issue with one of the sub-vendors (Soundslice, Vimeo, etc). The development team is working on it.

    Guitar strings

    For standard tuning, start with the standard gauges (9-42 is light and 10-46 would be closest to "standard") for electric guitar. If you like how your guitar feels right now, you can find out what string gauge (and possibly brand) it was shipped with from the factory.

    Guitar strings

    I disagree sharply with this. It depends on HOW you like to solo. Heavier strings are much harder to bend and vibrato, and for the new player, they can be seriously painful to play on.

    lessons videos aren't playing

    Just to report further, if you turn off the "video" part of the lessons and just use the "synthetic" or "Jam" options, it plays. So if Soundslice gets the video portion of the feed from Vimeo, then.... Yeah...

    lessons videos aren't playing

    @alexj - you posted earlier about a Vimeo issue - I think we have two separate issues. This is people saying the SOUNDSLICE lesson videos aren't playing, and they aren't playing for any of us. That's probably the more important issue.

    can't play learning videos

    It is a site issue - the development team is working to fix it. We have no further updates at this time. Sorry, but it WILL be back!

    New Megadeth Album

    I keep coming back to this album and really enjoying it. I think it’s their best album since the peak of the golden era of Megadeth, and that’s high praise. The rhythm work is stunning. That after all these years, Dave can continue to come up with engaging and original riffs that sound fresh and...

    Having Trouble Setting Up FX Chains In Reaper

    Also, could be Reatune is set up for something wonky with pitch correction? I'd pull that out for guitar tracks. I think it's like auto-tune and a tuner, and you're better off with a Snark than running that plugin all the time. Better use of that on vocals maybe.

    Having Trouble Setting Up FX Chains In Reaper

    #1 sounds like you have too much noise gate. #2 sounds like you have local monitoring on in your Focusrite, and so you’re hearing clean signal going through the interface (before FX) and then the processed sound right after it.

    Guitar Anyone has experience with Ibanez Axion?

    The shape of the neck is different. The Ibanez is thinner by 1mm and has a slightly flatter radius on the fretboard (15.1" vs 14" on the Schecter). The Ibanez neck is also 1mm wider at the nut. These differences largely come down to personal preference - one is not BETTER than the other...

    Guitar Anyone has experience with Ibanez Axion?

    Ibanez generally makes high-quality instruments with a focus on technical or speed players. The Axion label amps that up. For their price point, they are very high quality instruments. The differences you feel could be setup or possibly string gauge - both will have a 25.5 scale length, which is...

    Really cool. I love how musical it sounds - is this part of someone else's song or solo?
