    How to make electric guitar sound like acoustic?

    Jak’s right. You’re not going to get close to an acoustic sound without an emulator, or installing a piezo pickup and electronics in your electric. There are some electrics that have a piezo, as well, but they’re usually quite expensive. Your amp does say it offers “acoustic simulation,” so you...

    Matt Haefy from Trivium with cool acustic cover of unholy confessions

    Matt has been doing “outside the box” live acoustic covers for quite a few months, as part of working on expanding his vocal range and abilities. That she shares them all live is quite a testament. Some come out better than others, but he hits a lot of good ones. Most are so new to him he has to...

    What Did I Do To My Guitar?! HELP!!

    On every fret, all the way up the neck? Even, say, the 20th? If that’s the case, raise the bridge until there’s no buzz from around 12-15 and higher, then loosen the truss as covered above.

    Hi. Does anyone have any tips for the solo to Afterlife?

    Jesus, even the isolated solo track is crazy clean playing.

    Firm picks or flimsy picks for shredding?

    Yellow Tortex are not an especially heavy pick, maybe only slightly heavier than the standard “Fender Medium.” I use those when I play acoustic. For electric, I play a smaller, Jazz size pick that’s probably twice as thick. As Jak said, though, Try them and see. Dunlop sells pick samplers. I...

    Acoustic issue

    Need a pic to know exactly what part you’re talking about, and also need to know about the value of the guitar – hard to say if something is worth fixing without knowing the price point of worthiness.

    What Did I Do To My Guitar?! HELP!!

    PS: The bridge doesn’t change anything about neck adjustment, except it will take longer to re-tune up after each adjustment, but you HAVE to do that to accurately guage how much the truss adjustment did – you have to be in tune. Adjust, tune, wait 24 hours, tune, try. Repeat. And remember, if...

    What Did I Do To My Guitar?! HELP!!

    Guitars are made to go from cold to hot and back again, but some handle it better than others. Let’s start here: 1. It buzzes with open strings. If you fret the string between the 12th and 15th frets, does it still buzz? If yes, you need to raise the bridge (Mr. Floyd!). If it doesn’t, you need...

    Site Load Time, Problems W/ Posting Riffs & Comments

    At the moment, it seems its snappiest ever. Fingers crossed it stays this way.

    Hi. Does anyone have any tips for the solo to Afterlife?

    Honestly, that shit’s so fast that as long as you’re in the right neighborhood, literally no one will know if you have it “right” or not. Go for the tone and the feel more than each and every note.

    Site is back up!

    Thanks, Patrick – appreciate the efforts. Musta been a real bastard!

    Welcome Back!

    I’d like to see it left up, too, but Syn and Papa might want in. Or maybe not! HAHA. Whatever tornado hit the site musta been a serious MFer.

    For anyone who has £300k-400k to spend?

    I’m not sure I would really consider that an “instrument” anymore. It’s a historical artifact. Whoever buys that isn’t going to play it – they’ll just put it on display or loan it out to a museum or something. Not me. I’d play the shit out of it, so maybe it’s good that I don’t have that kind...

    Site Uptime and Loadtime

    Since the last update, load times are BRUTAL. Every click is a ~15 second wait for something to happen. Forum, lessons, anything. Once the click “goes through” everything loads reasonably, but the delay is a real thing to dread.

    It had to be done.
