    What are you currently listening to?

    Trying to learn this is really pushing me. It’s a lot more complicated than it initially sounds, and I’m enjoying all of the struggle.

    What are you currently listening to?

    Attempting to learn this song has really opened my to an entirely new type of rhythm playing I really hadn’t thought much about before.

    Anchoring your pinky

    I equally play anchored and un-anchored, and I don’t really have a specific preference per se as to when I use either. Generally, I mostly only anchor when I’m playing for rhythm, but when I’m doing a lot of picking I’ll use either closed fist, or my pinky will fly out but not be anchored to...

    The journey to become competent at recording

    If you combine the audio and the video in Premiere you can export them both as a combined H.264 file. Sorry I’m a bit confused here lol.

    The journey to become competent at recording

    @filip, I use H.264, which is compressed, but good file size. .avi and .mov are lossless uncompressed, so they’ll naturally have really high file size. I recommend using that. But I am a bit confused, you said you combine .wav with a .mp4, is the .mp4 the raw file out of the camera? H.264...

    The journey to become competent at recording

    I’m studying audio and thought I would give my input regarding levels. 0DB from what I learned is the absolute max it should ever hit, the level you don’t want it to go above. In the film and video works specifically, -12 db is considerd the “safe” level that you want to shot for, and I was...

    Can anyone here play guitar behind their head?

    I tried once and it’s not all that much different from playing with a blindfold and a weird arm position.

    Some questions about guitar hardware

    Luke got it. Floyd Rose spaces the strings different, and so tremolo-spaced pickups will pick it up properly. As far as which Floyd to get to replace, if I were buying I would be erring on the side of caution and buying whatever was already in it, but you could definitely upgrade quality if...

    Little Things That Could Be Making It Harder

    @jak, I buy everything at my local Guitar Center. Mine specifically has a wall section dedicated to instrument maintenance, and that’s where I can find it all in my store. There’s a good few brands and options available. An employee should also be able to help find it if it’s in a weird place in...

    I ordered something in the store..

    Let me know how it sounds! I might just have to pull the trigger on one (or two) this holiday season…

    Little Things That Could Be Making It Harder

    I definitely agree and have the same experiences. If you do decide you like D’Addario, most Guitar Centers sell 3 and 10-packs for a very good price. I did try Paradigms at one point, but they corroded unusually fast. They actually rusted down by the bridge within a month, which for some people...

    Metronome practice and how to find bpms

    Glad to help. Let’s see the progress when it’s ready!

    Metronome practice and how to find bpms

    Find the BPM where you make zero mistakes and keep increasing it from there. Once you start to make mistakes, stay at that BPM until you don’t. Just repeat that until you reach the target BPM.

    Yet another post about recording

    Line-in tones generally also require a lot of EQ and dynamic work in post because you’re entirely skipping the response of the speaker in your cabinet and the properties of a microphone. Generally line-in tones are really high and shrill. So in the end you can do a lot of EQ to “fix” one of...

    Five Solos That Changed You As A Player

    1) Detroit Rock City – KISS / This is actually the first solo I ever learned and it was the first solo I wanted to learn. I was so enamored at the time by the fact that you could have TWO GUITARISTS playing at the same time in harmony. 2) Through The Fire And Flames – DragonForce / This song...

    Tool on Spotify

    I heard a rumor that with the release of their new album they are considering moving onto Spotify, but of course that could be an untold amount of time before the album even comes out.
