    Youth Guitar advice

    Ibanez has a Mikro line that's not bad. 3/4 size RGs. There's even a Paul Gilbert signature Mikro, but that might cost a little more.

    Pentatonic XV

    WHOA! Papa Smurf dropping sweet, beautiful shit left and right. I truly can't wait to dive headlong into this greatness when I get back from Christmas and New Years!

    Holiday Challenges!

    I will be out of town for the holidays (leaving Sunday, back Friday 1/3), but when I get back, it's PG's Blues and THEORY. I need to finally commit to learning and implementing theory in my playing. I will also be writing and recording a lot more music in 2020.

    Top Albums of 2019

    My 2019 album of the year, no contest, is Periphery's HAIL STAN. In distant second is Killswitch Engage - Atonement. Third is Alter Bridge - Walk the Sky

    Playing Live - Things to Watch for

    Hmmm. Yes, to a degree. There's a much bigger difference between 20 and 200 than there is between 200 and 2000. Twenty people are mostly bored. They're not there for you. They're either in or with one of the other bands playing. It's rare that you connect with someone here, but if you do...

    Buidling a guitar/bass

    You might be best off trying building one from a kit first. https://www.kieselguitars.com/catalog/kits/bk40 If not, anyone who loves you will tell you not to make your own neck, at the VERY least.

    Playing Live - Things to Watch for

    I played a handful of shows in front of 1000-2000, a good many in front of 300-500 and what feels like a thousand shows for 20-30 people or less.

    Playing Live - Things to Watch for

    You get a new drummer. Seriously. You ever see the "YOU HAD ONE JOB" memes? That's a drummers ONE JOB - keep time. All the rolls, fills, and stunts in the world will NEVER make up for a drummer that can't keep time. Oh, they'll play a song a little too fast or a little too slow sometimes, and...

    Hellwin Amp

    Syn has gone full Fractal now, with the AxeFXIII. He has a cab pack of his personal collection of speaker cabinets (from 1x to 4x12s) and I can vouch for their awesomeness. I tried a lot of the stock cabs, and bought several packs as well (including a nice Misha Mansoor pack or two) and Syn's...

    Their music is fine. Their live show consists of three guys off the street staring at their own feet for 45 minutes.

    I wish I did - I've never done it, and never known anyone who did. Good luck to you.

    Playing Live - Things to Watch for

    It is VERY MUCH WORTH IT, even if you don't get beyond bar band levels. There's a rush that's addictive (haha, that's a song - anyone know it?)

    If you're the singer, you have a shit-ton of insecurities and neuroses and have been a dick to yourself and everyone else your whole life. ;)

    Playing Live - Things to Watch for

    There's a site called Quora that started as a place where people could ask questions, and experts, or at least very experienced people, in those fields, could answer them, just because. The site has faltered - a lot - because of badly implemented attempts at monetization and because of the same...

    I have not. Might be fun?

    Free for a limited time: Black 76 Compressor/Limiter

    If you installed it to the default location, Reaper may not know to scan there for the plugin. Scan your Program Files and Program Files (x86) folders for "TR5" and you should be able to find the folder it's in. From there, go into Reaper's Preferences and the plugin or locations section and add...

    Tremonti vs. Syn

    Yeah, Mark says that all the time. Alter Bridge is definitely more a hard rock band. The Tremonti stuff is much heavier, and Mark sings those himself. Try this.

    Tremonti vs. Syn

    The funny thing is, Mark cares more about songwriting than guitar playing. Check this, and tell me this isn't a great song. I don't think anyone's mind is gonna change, but if you haven't really dug into Mark, you might be surprised.

    Tremonti vs. Syn

    Yes. And Alter Bridge is EXCELLENT. However, if you like thrashier stuff, listen to TREMONTI. Start with Cauterize or All I Was.

    Be sure to UNCHECK the part where you authorize them to market shit to you! Thanks, Filip! All over this!
