    Mixing a heavy metal album Help!!!

    Almost always true. Once you get a mix you like on your mixing system, listen to it on other equipment you’re familiar with to see if anything jumps out there. I use my car and a few other places to listen for issues.

    Mixing a heavy metal album Help!!!

    Try using the NORMALIZE function on tracks you can’t get enough volume on. It also sounds like you might need a little compression on some of those tracks. There are deep lessons online about proper use of compression with various instruments, but the goal is to balance out the levels on...

    I'm back! And in need of help😨😨

    4 note per string across 4 strings – like the descending chromatic run in the Beast and the Harlot. That’s straight alternate picking. If you were only doing it as a pattern across two strings, you could do as Jak suggests, and just Up-Down-Up-Down (skip) Down-Up-Down-Up (skip)…etc. But across 4...

    HARDWEAR: chaning tuners?

    It is rare to find a Les Paul without a tuning stability issue. Certainly my Gibson Traditional Pro has the same issue. Replacing tuners is always a good idea, but this problem is usually a friction on the nut thing, due to string angle over the nut. Graphite can work, but if it’s a bone or...

    Good Acoustic Strings/Acoustic Guitars?

    Martin has some nice player-grade models with a single cutaway and electronics. I like the 80/20 bronze strings on acoustic – deep and rich. I have a DCPA5, which they don’t make anymore, but there are similar, for sure. Mine was $800, but there are lower end models with the same features, too...

    Daily Practice Schedule

    I have about a 20 minute warmup and development routine I try to do at least 5-6 days a week, and after that it’s kinda freeform on days I have time, whether I play songs I know, jam improv over some stuff, learn a new song, or whatever. Warmup: ALTERNATE PICKING EXERCISE – 5 mins...

    What's your dream guitar collection?

    Thanks, Raven! I haven’t had a “pointy” guitar since… 91? It feels really odd, and I go into some of the issues with the shape itself in the video, but it’s a fantastic player – I just enjoy it sitting down more for now!

    [Opinion] Using Artists Custom Models

    If you have an artist guitar, that artist is literally not going to care what you play on it. In fact, the more and different stuff you play, the better. The respect is automatic when you choose to buy the artist model. That said, I’m not a fan of overly “personalized” artist models, and I’m...

    Guitar Tabs Accessible For The Blind

    This is an interesting question. And I’ve spent a little time searching, and I can’t find any good answers. I have found a hundred different tabs for “Blind” by Korn, but that’s not what we’re looking for. 🙂 I did find a site that has lessons to teach guitar entirely audibly, for the blind...

    Questions regarding the Cab Packs and Axe-FX in General

    Okay, I did a demo for you. It’s about 10 minutes long, and I went into the cab, the amp settings, what’s different between the other cab models, what an Iso cab is (for anyone else watching who wants to know), and played a little guitar. I’ll be doing a couple more vids, this week I hope, and...

    String action problem

    @ben – SEVEN half-steps? You pull the high E string all the way up to a B without breaking it?? You sure about that?
