    New Album Discussion/FirstVS.Changing Impressions/Easter eggs/Favorite song from LIBAD?

    Honestly, if you're not super in to LIBAD instantly, that's ok. Give it some time, you might go back to it in the future and be surprised how much stronger of an impression it will make. It's not my favourite A7X album (I honestly don't think I could pick just one anyways), but it's truly...

    New Album Discussion/FirstVS.Changing Impressions/Easter eggs/Favorite song from LIBAD?

    Hey everyone, I have been listening to LIBAD a lot since it came out. The album continues to grow on me more and more each day. I thought it would be cool if people shared their initial impressions, and if their opinion of the album has changed after multiple listens. To kick start the...

    MY BEAUTIFUL DARK TWISTED FANTASY by Kanye West

    MBDTF is a truly great example of music production more than anything else. Many people say things about Kanye like, he's a better producer than a rapper... But, whether you agree with that or not, he has stuff that he wants to say on this album, and he does it. Regardless of what is said, he...

    2023 NOBODY Tour — M&G availability? Hang and Jam like 2018 Syn??

    Right on! The Life is but a Dream package isn't a guaranteed meet and greet though, is it?

    Impedance and Wattage

    Right on, thanks for the info. I agree paint is best (I prefer the old ways). Any cons to wrapping that you can think of that regular people might not know about?

    Custom-S sustainiac issue

    Riddick did you get it sorted out? If so, what was the solution?

    Impedance and Wattage

    Yeah man, you gotta show your credibility :p And now that I know your profession I have a follow up question for you, what is your opinion on wrapping a car vs. painting it? I have a black golf r, and I'm seriously interested in the way this looks but I have reservations about wrapping my vehicle.

    Impedance and Wattage

    Journeyman Red Seal electrician here, my main advice to you would be to get a manual for the Hellwin amp (online if necessary), then read it as it should answer your questions. However, I can also offer some information. #1 You need a load (in this case the cab) which has an impedance at least...

    Custom-S sustainiac issue

    Ah ok, I didn't realize you had done that already, now I see you mentioned it briefly there. Ok, so I have two ideas for you, one is that the sustainiac may be too close? There may be a sweet spot in the magnetic field that you need to have the strings resting in. So plug the guitar in and...

    "Nobody" from the new album "Life is but a Dream"

    One of the best things about A7X is their ability to evolve. Each album is unique, but they keep the core (albeit versatile/eclectic), identity intact. The Stage was weird, I liked it right away, but because it was so strange I was able to discover new things within over multiple listens. I only...

    Custom-S sustainiac issue

    I'm confident I have the answer for you, the sustainiac is probably too far away from the strings. Proximity matters, there should be some screws on either side of the sustainiac which will raise or lower it. If you can elevate the sustainiac so that it's not so far away (see what I did there...

    Bradley Hall A7X 5 minute speedrun

    I watch his channel too! It's an amusing over simplification of A7X. Overall this was funny, but there's potential to learn from a video like this. A beginner-intermediate guitar player could genuinely extrapolate some song writing/structure/format knowledge from this video. Or, just see that...

    Sweep picking

    Use a metronome! Start slow, gradually build up speed I recommend the seize the day outro solo as a good place to start sweep picking.

    Are there any drummers on here? I'm writing some original stuff and if there's a drummer that wants to collaborate, that would be cool!

    Yeah, somewhat of a longshot looking for a drummer on a guitar school. I did find one on kijiji yesterday. He is a professional, so it's less of a collaboration and more of a hired gun type situation.

    Are there any drummers on here? I'm writing some original stuff and if there's a drummer that wants to collaborate, that would be cool!

    So, the economy has sucked in Canada for the last 3 years. Additionally, COVID has made things worse. I decided to quit struggling as a journeyman electrician, and made the decision to begin university this year. Final exams are done, I have a GPA of 3.85 and I am ready to make music like a mad...
