    Songs to learn

    I’ve recently discovered that Stone Temple Pilots songs (from the 90s, mostly) use a LOT of “non-standard” (at least for rock) chords. Learning a bunch of their songs increased my chord knowledge. Also the strumming/picking patterns are interesting for working on your palm muting on/off for...

    A stupid question not related to music or quitar

    I think it does, but FB’s algorithms are enigmatic, at best, anyway. Easiest thing to say when someone asks that kind of question is (and it’s usually the truth), “I dunno. It showed up in my feed and I liked it. I didn’t even realize it was old.”

    A small break

    A guitar can be your best friend in a lonely part of your life – I know this for a fact. Don’t stay away too long. We need you here. Best of luck braving whatever rough seas you face. Come back soon.

    My new track on Souncloud

    Very cool. Some really nice, interesting note choices over the chord changes. I dig it. Nice work!

    guitar problems

    Anything like that is going to be a grounding issue. Has anyone ever messed with the wiring inside the guitar?

    Show me your axe!

    My #1. My pride and joy. 2015 PRS Custom 24 30th anniversary edition, quilted 10 top in Azul. Swapped the excellent 85/15 bridge pickup for the even more excellenter Tremonti treble. My oldest friends. 91 and 90 Ibanez 540R Custom and RG550, repectively. Both have Gravity Storm pickups...

    @calvin – Viruses don’t really care what browser you’re in and the major browsers are updated roughly at the same time if a major vulnerability is announced, but there was another thread where a user had gotten a new laptop and couldn’t log in. I have all of the major browsers already installed...

    I posted something with pics and everything and I can’t see it. Can you?

    Thanks, man! On a similar note, logins don’t work correctly on IE11. You just cycle back to a blank login page. It’s fine in the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, and Edge, but not IE11. Thanks!

    Sustaniac pickup hight?

    Nope. That’s the sustainiac doing what it was designed to do – make strings vibrate. You need to mute every other string. You can use a combination of both hands to do this, and it’s a technique worth learning and mastering at all times – that’s what makes a super-clean player, especially where...

    Sustaniac pickup hight?

    The sustainiac works by generating vibration in the strings by magnetic field – it is a “WANTED feedback machine,” so you should have it turned off or disabled at all times EXCEPT when you specifically want to use it. This is typically to hold a single note (or chord), and always requires the...

    Log in trouble on pc

    I use Firefox, but I run all 4 major browsers. It’s fine in Firefox, Edge, and Chrome, but in IE11, the login screen just refreshes and it doesn’t work. That’s interesting, and something worth reporting to the site dude.

    Log in trouble on pc

    Login issues, where you’re able to log in elsewhere – sorry to say – are almost always BUAK – between user and keyboard. What’s the error message you’re getting?

    How often do you use tapping licks in soloing?

    Almost never. I may tap a single note for emphasis here and there, but I don’t do “tapping licks.”

    What are you currently listening to?

    Thanks to Guardians of the Galaxy Vol2, I’m on a huge ELO kick lately. Jeff Lynne is such a great songwriter.

    Thoughts About Syn's Playing Evolution?

    Taking the (formidable) technique out of the equation entirely, just dissecting his leads and melodies is an insane class in just how much, but how subtly, note choices and phrasing are the true mark of individuality.

    Need help with barre chords

    It’s one of those things you just need to keep working at directly until you get it, but once you do, it will never leave. One thing that can help is to be consciously aware to “roll” the barred index finger a bit. Instead of using the fleshy flat of the bottom of the finger, roll the hand a...

    Shocking news for me… opinions?

    The lady wins. Always. It’s her body.

    Shocking news for me… opinions?

    First, I think y’all better stop getting busy after concerts. FIVE???? Pick up the guitar, not your wife! Seriously, though, congrats! Personally, not sure I would go *that* unorthodox. I’d probably make it “Brian” just to keep it under the radar, but that’s just me. Whatever you choose, best of...
