    Shepherd of Fire Solo Cover with my new guitar!

    I caught this earlier today on your IG. Great playing, super clean, and the enthusiasm you bring to the actual PERFORMANCE is fantastic. You make playing great look FUN, and that’s something sorely lacking today. AWESOME!

    "Are You Talented??"

    By your definition, my friend, I think I have WAY more talent and personality than skill, and most of the time I am comfortable with that, but I do continue to try and develop the skills. I am equal parts inspired and intimidated by some of the massive skills on display here. I try to suppress...

    Bass player trying guitar

    Okay, Bailey. First, WELCOME. Second, I have been a guitar player for many years, but I do also play bass (more of necessity than anything else, when I record). I find that on bass, my movements need to be MUCH more exaggerated. Finger presses harder, spacing farther, just everything BIGGER...

    Looking to buy axe fx 2

    AxeFX2 works with the cab packs. Look for the original cab pack thread we had going right when they came out. Syn explained further down in the thread where some of the cabs were modeled, and some of them were definitely older cabinets he used on older albums. Of course, the cabinets are just...

    How Is Everyone Doing This Sunday/Monday?

    So far, great day, Jak! Body recovering from the ride, and I finally got to talk to my folks (the make retirement so BUSY! 76 and 80 years old, and they’ve been out every weekend in October until today!). Just a chill day at home getting rested up for the week ahead! Hope everyone’s kicks ass...

    Livestreaming Music Tech Q&A

    Okay, so on top of the fact that there were posted questions in the stream I didn’t get to, I did a demo of a product designed to get guitarists closer to the Avenged Sevenfold sound, and the guy who gets those sounds was WATCHING and COMMENTING on the stream, and…. I NEVER PLAYED A FUCKING NOTE...

    Going Live Again in 90 Minutes!

    What I saw was awesome, but after my longest ride of the year (so far – there will be more) I was exhausted and needed a shower and nap and carb load. I think I was there for about 20 minutes, and it was great!

    Livestreaming Music Tech Q&A

    Here’s the REPLAY for those who missed it – it went awesome, after a late start. Lots of questions – some of which I did NOT get to and I will queue up for the next installment TBD. Thanks, @jak and @syn for promotion and for being there! https://youtu.be/fNRe3FwOkXY

    Come watch Eds streama

    Totally agree, but this was supposed to be a high-level “this is what it is and what it can do and why it fucking rules.” I think I covered that pretty well, and Syn directed me with some pointed questions to cover too – why the reverb comes AFTER the amp block, etc.

    Come watch Eds streama

    Thanks everyone for coming, and if you missed it, SYN was there, and CHATTY. I have a feeling I will be doing more of these, because I had to cut it short after only an hour and there was more to cover. I will start a thread asking for more questions or things to cover next as soon as I digest...

    Going live in TWO HOURS! How awesome is it that Syn gave this a shout out on his Insta? This is gonna be jam packed and fun! See you there!

    Floyd rose set-up

    @julian, no more than 1/4 turn every 24 hours. It really should not take more than 1/2 to 3/4 turn total, and that’s if it’s pretty bad.

    Would you welcome a music theory series?

    Everyone who teaches theory has different approaches. At SOME point one of them will stick with me beyond the rudiments. Some of the Papa stuff here has been HUGE for me, but I need to dig into it more. Now that I am once again “unencumbered” by having a working band, I hope to dig into it a lot...

    Ik multimedia modelled Dimebag's rig

    In the hands of mortals, it sounds thin and terrible, but with Dime? Damn.

    Your Favorite Guitarists?

    Akira! LOUDNESS! Great stuff!

    Floyd rose set-up

    Okay, loosen the truss rod 1/4 turn, retune, wait 24 hours and check for buzz again.

    Posts dont show

    i find that if I make a post, then see something wrong with it and edit it – the post disappears. And I LOVE TO EDIT SHIT AFTER I POST IT. Can’t do that here. Sigh.

    Solo Trouble

    From my other post, I will be LIVESTREAMING tomorrow to talk about the AxeFX, the Syn Cab Pack, with demo, how to dial in a usable guitar tone on a strange or new amp, basics of some effects/pedals, how and why you should be using your laptop or other computer as a guitar interface and other...
