    "Nightmare" Live Stream, June Contest + Other Updates

    It’s the least I can do Jak. My way to pay back for not being quite as active here as I should be.

    Thank you Syn

    Sexy guitar man! How about a video of you breaking her in? I’d love to see how it plays.

    "Nightmare" Live Stream, June Contest + Other Updates

    Thanks for the update Jak! Let me know if you need help funding the contests. I got a few shekels laying around I can throw to the cause if you need it. I love these contests and watching everyone participate.

    ***NEW CONTEST RULE FOR JUNE! EVERYONE PLEASE READ!!!***

    I’ll have to think it over. Not one for being in front of a camera. Thank you for the encouragement though Jak!

    What is your guys favorite tuning to play in?

    In my experience, it might equal out depending on your guitar. I always have mine adjusted professionally after I string it. Once a year and $20 and it no longer becomes my problem lol

    ***NEW CONTEST RULE FOR JUNE! EVERYONE PLEASE READ!!!***

    I personally love this new rule! Not that it works well for me being that I don’t like showing my face or speaking in videos but I know we need something like this. We need more riffs and videos posted here and I think this is a great way to get that going.

    What is your guys favorite tuning to play in?

    Over the past 6 months I’ve been playing multiple different tunings on multiple guitars and so far I’ve noticed myself growing fond of D Standard (Full step down)

    Music or lyrics first?

    Personally, in my music writing, I find the tone of the song is often driven by the lyrics. I find it is much better to have the lyrics before the music so that you are setting a proper tone to the music with the lyrics, rather than vice versa.

    Rock am 2019

    Personally, I think their masks from All Hope is Gone was their best mask set. But this new set isn’t bad.

    Rock am 2019

    Saw godsmack just last month. If I wasn’t standing behind 3 6ft tall fat sweaty guys would have been a very enjoyable show. Even in the tiny little arena though they kicked ass! Volbeat is most likely my favorite live band. They always put on a good show and play their hearts out.

    The Ultimate Reward

    I only wish I was half as active in this community as Jak is. She tries her hardest to keep this website alive and keeping people motivated. It’s only fair she gets something in return for it. I can’t tell you how much her advice has helped me over the past year or so I’ve been browsing.

    Rock am 2019

    A lot of bands seem to plan on steaming their performances. I’m super excited for Slipknots tommorow.

    Whats your opinion on games like Rocksmith? Helpful or Detrimental?

    That’s what convinced me to get it! It’s easy to mod and play custom songs and minigames. Really what did it for me

    Site Problems – Papa Gates

    Definitely, songwriting is a pain! It takes a lot less to learn a song someone else wrote than it does to write your own. One site issue I’ve had is the little notification bell keeps showing me that I have notifications after I clear it. Generally, it takes like a week to get caught up. One...

    Whats your opinion on games like Rocksmith? Helpful or Detrimental?

    I try to get an hour of practice in per day. 30 minutes of learning new techniques or improving my weaker ones. 30 minutes of song playing. So far its worked out well combining the schools lessons, youtube lessons, and rocksmith. Ed’s opinion is on point with mine. Combine multiple methods to...

    Whats your opinion on games like Rocksmith? Helpful or Detrimental?

    So long story short, I recently bought Rocksmith 2014 Remastered with the hopes of having some feedback on my playing. I was originally looking for lessons in the area I live in so I can have some feedback on my playing. Turns out I can’t afford lessons. I was looking. Cheapest in the area was...

    What Inspired you to pick up the Guitar for the very first time?

    Saint Rhoads. I was 6 listening to Crazy Train and Mr. Crowley in the car on my old MP3 player my dad got me and the guitar work on those songs is the thing that got me into rock and metal. As well as wanting to learn guitar.
