Dirt posted:What is the point of a multi scale guitar? Intonation on a guitar is always a compromise; there's no way to have perfect intonation across the entire fretboard. Multiscale and Buzz Feiten systems and such are attempts at a better compromise. Whether you think they're 'better' is largely down to personal choice, like everything else with musical instruments. The only guy I personally know to use multiscale is actually a monster tasteful player, but he sounds great on everything he plays so who knows. I've never heard him mention it so maybe he just liked the way the bass played.

This is also the fourth or fifth time I've seen Buckethead; it's always been the same. Other than that, Buckethead can play any solo but he always resorts to his bread and butter lick that's super fast and impresses most of the audience but as a guitar player you know he's just phoning it in. It really sucks because his slower playing when he incorporates his phrasing is loving phenomenal. Sadly though, most of the show is just him jacking off on guitar and impressing idiots. edit: His lack of a backing band is also god drat loving bullshit and so boring. sigher fucked around with this message at 04:17 on Jul 5, 2016 |

I've seen him like 8 times in various places across the country. Was loving awesome every time except for the one time I saw him on a "big tour". Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains in Detroit(Buckethead, Les Claypool, Bernie Worrell, Brain on drums). Was total garbage with awful sound. Literally all we could hear was drums and Claypool's bass. No vocals/keys/guitars. I think that's more on the venue that him. Best one was just him and That1Guy as the Frankenstein Brothers at the Granada Theater in Dallas. The strangest hour and a half of music I have ever sat through. Pretty cool though. Also saw him in Austin at some garbage club with just him and a drum machine and it was cool as poo poo. He handed me a bag of fake blood  It's definitely a venue thing. edit: iMonarch posted:Hello goons, I made a drum beat that combines the very essence of GBS - heavy metal and burgs. I hope you enjoy.

If they're playing fast but in key with a variety of melodic and rhythmic themes and it doesn't go on for very long, there is a nonzero probability that something cool and good is happening, leaving you a judgment call If they're just blasting through whatever notes are conveniently located in straight 32nds and/or have and employ a whammy bar for any purpose, they can be safely ignored

God drat do I hate this, I did sound at my college's university center for 5 years and it's lead me to be driven absolutely nuts by poor mixes. There's a place that a friend of mine's band plays semi-regularly, and the mixes are just so totally random, it's ridiculous. Due to the nature of the place, they don't really do sound checks before shows, but motherfucker you are sitting right there during the show adjust the board as they're playing can you seriously not hear how bad this sounds because I can't hear the bassist or second vocalist either idiots

we used to just turn every piece of equipment as high as it would go, but we were a highschool trash punk band so that was kinda the point. still sounded better than that buckethead video. it sounds like he just turned on the "crunch" effect on his practice amp and called it a day.

Buckethead is really cool. I've never seen him live, but when I was a teen I used to religiously collect bootlegs of his performances, and I've never heard one quite as bad as that. I'd say he's a better studio musician, but I can't say I've really enjoyed any of the last 200 albums he's made in the past few years though.

So now that everyone poo poo on Buckethead's lovely cellphone video tone, anyone want to point in me in the direction of how to get better at that stupid killswitch technique? It looks really easy, but I put a killswitch onto my Ibanez and it's really goddamn hard to get to sound Buckethead-ish. Is there like some left/right hand thing I can do to get better hand independence? Should I ask that in a drum thread or some poo poo? ps here is an ugly guitar:  That guitars actually owns, and Antigua is the best finish Dirt fucked around with this message at 04:17 on Jul 12, 2016 |

Seems like 1. Pantload of gain 2. Hammer on to poo poo 3. Every time you want it to sound like you "picked", press and release killswitch I can't see that being very helpful, but past that it's just "practice more"
