    Thoughts on Nu Metal?

    The second Disturbed album, Believe, was brilliant. So was Hybrid Theory. LP were meticulous in their songcraft - listen to how some of those songs were constructed - it's just amazing. Korn was mostly Nu-metal, and they put out a lot of great stuff in that early era - Got the Life, Freak on a...

    Happy birthday, Randy.

    Lynch is still awesome. Warren DeMartini from Ratt was awesome. Vito Bratta put brilliance in the cheese of White Lion. So many great ones.

    Happy birthday, Randy.

    But that was Brad Gillis, from Night Ranger, not Randy.

    Happy birthday, Randy.

    Give a listen to Ozzy's first two solo albums, Blizzard of Ozz and ESPECIALLY Diary of a Madman. The title track on Diary will give you an idea what Randy would become had a plane crash not ended his life. Also, the outro solo on "Tonight" and several others. Then listen to the Tribute live...

    Happy birthday, Randy.

    Still one of the very few whose playing can send chills up my spine. 12/06/56-3/19/82. Even I was too young to have seen him play. I only discovered who he (and Ozzy) were a few years after his passing. This photo is unpublished. It's from his sister's personal archives - she posts them from...

    Treat Your Heary Holes Right

    There are some things polite people just don't talk about in the Kitchen.

    Treat Your Heary Holes Right

    GREAT QUESTION, and the answer will befuddle you at first. Professional musicians don't use earplugs on stage. "What? But what's the shit you just said, Cap???" Pro musicians use custom IEMs - In Ear Monitors. The artist has molds/forms taken of their ears, and the IEMs are shaped specifically...

    Treat Your Heary Holes Right

    All- A lot of you here are early in your musical journey, and this is where it counts for you. I was lucky enough to get this advice as a budding musician and I've been fanatical about it. As a result, my hearing loss is FAR less than it could be...

    MUSIC THEORY - Lesson 4 - Guitar tabs

    interesting. I always thought "Middle C" was the same C note, regardless of instrument, because it was the middle C note on a full 88 key piano.

    MUSIC THEORY - Lesson 3 - Music sheets

    The G and F clefs are also commonly called the "treble" and "bass" clefs. "Worth noting is that two consecutive notes can never be placed on the same line or space. " - I do not believe this is true? If it is, a lot of songbooks didn't get the memo.

    Does Theory Matter?

    My son is learning Python now. Went to a school presentation for him. He did his first loop in coding class (In Python, he's worked in Javascript and a few others already). He's 14. *Some* American public schools are definitely doing it right.

    How do i get a good guitar tone in a home studio?

    So, yeah, what Filip said. There are a LOT of different software-based amp emulation tools out there. Bias is one, Amplitube is another, and there's also a GTR 3.5 from Waves, which I believe also has a free PLAYER version that has reduced functionality but can still be effective. Of these, Bias...

    Does Theory Matter?

    Hola, Papa Gates! Great stuff, and very timely for the endeavor I'm committing to for 2020. If I could make a suggestion, would you consider grouping together a bunch of lessons in an order and stuff simply for theory? Or should I really just dive into the CAGED lessons and go from there? Theory...

    Is worth using pro tools 12 in a home studio? without HDX systems.

    Reaper 6 is NOW OUT, as of TODAY.

    Are you loyal to one brand in particular?

    Well, I have a headless Keisel, so headless wasn't new, and has no effect playability except to reduce weight and make any thought of neck dive non-existent. The strandberg was light, for sure, and really enjoyable to play. The neck really is a V shape, though, and that was the biggest thing. It...

    Are you loyal to one brand in particular?

    Loyalty has a price. There is no guitar company that has expressed that loyalty to me, so I will not express it for them. I have a number of guitars from many different manufacturers (as any of my IG or YT followers can attest to), and they all have their pros and cons and serve their purposes...
