    Pedal Suggestions?

    Hmmm. Okay, so reverb is just echo. Play in the bathroom and you've got reverb - tiles rule for it. I don't think that will give you what you're looking for, as far as sustain. A delay (especially analog) can be used similarly and will thicken up a tone but not add sustain. Compressor is a...

    Sweep Picking I

    As long as it takes. Everyone is different. For most people, to get to Syn speed will take several years if you're not already decent at the technique. There are many who do it in less, but that's not typical.

    The drummer and other guitarist from my band in the 90s are back again. I like this one, too.

    CAGED System Pentatonic Exercise – Lesson 33

    Congrats, TJ. Papa put that in there as a test, to see who was both learning AND still paying attention. GOOD JOB! GOLD STAR!

    Problems with an old Squier!!

    IIRC, one guitar works fine in this amp, and the "bad" guitar works fine in her teacher's amp, so the issue is specifically the combination of the one guitar and the one amplifier - since there's no such thing as a guitar and amp that refuse to play together, there must be a small issue with...

    The Governator explains compression

    Yeah, they guy's Arnold impersonation is far short of brilliant, and it gets old sometimes, but it's also pretty funny and, more importantly, it does a REALLY good job of explaining how a compressor works and what each of the cryptic sounding settings actually does.

    Our Music Is Finally Here!!

    You know, when you spend forever hyping something, the end result needs to blow away all expectations, including some pretty inflated ones. You guys succeeded, where Chinese Democracy fell short. Yeah, I said it. Y'all did better than Axl. So much meat in this song - fantastic writing...

    Problems with an old Squier!!

    Getting entirely hypothetical here, but it could be a grounding issue. If the Squier is poorly grounded and your amp at home (or the outlet in your flat, or both) are not grounded, then you would have NOTHING being grounded. Even that seems REALLY out there to me, but it's the only thing I can...

    Greetings From Your Local Nerd

    Welcome! It all starts with a pick. Get yourself a variety pack and try them all out until you find what you like. The good all-arounder pick (which also happens to be where Syn landed after many years of trying many different things) is a Dunlop Tortex in .73 thickness (the yellow ones)...

    Focus on the recording interface. Reaper is a professional DAW that has an "evaluation license" that never expires and has no limitations. The modest $60 price is something they hope people will pay when they can, but it's a total honor system.

    I'll do one for approach to songwriting. Can I have a few days?

    What are you currently listening to?

    All three of the ballads on that album are the BEST BALLADS EVAR. It is a stunningly good release, even 3 decades later.

    What are you currently listening to?

    A friend on the Book of Faces posed a question - greatest ballad. This is the first song that came to mind for me. Even after a few decades, it still gives me chills almost every time.

    Gentlemen, post the videos for the songs you like, that's fine. The political commentary tied to the artists is NOT. I will be removing said commentary now.
