I'm the stupid poo poo today. Made a stop at the pawn shop on the way home and bought this. Lotus Strat copy, basic black, made by Samick in the early 80s, really nothing special, but it was only $58 with tax. Why would I buy that?  Came with a very nice hippie strap, probably an Ace, legit "vintage" with all metal hardware and easily worth more than the guitar(to me, anyway). Not quite worth what I paid, but I can dump the guitar on Reverb for more than I paid so the strap is basically free. Then I can throw it in the box with my other vintage straps and never use it because a modern strap is much more comfortable and doesn't smell like cigarette smoke, old beer, and dirty hippies.

Dang It Bhabhi! posted:I think that's what happens when you have no point of view and no real passion for anything other than the technical aspects of constructing a facsimile of rock and roll. Even a song screaming about how you have nothing to say is more gripping. Holy moly this is good. Thanks for posting it. I've seen some of the Music is Win videos from Tyler Larson. He does very little playing and seems to be interested in everything surrounding the guitar as a technical exercise, but isn't actually interested in music itself. Reminds me of an old buddy of mine who played ukulele and was incredibly concerned with different strumming patterns, but didn't actually listen to music at all. It's like an engineer's mindset or something. There's some good youtube guitar guys out there. The Signals Music Studio guy, for example, seems like a friendly dork who is entirely focused on showing people ways to actually make music and apply basic theory to help with song writing, or Paul Davids who clearly plays live gigs. But overall it's kind of a strange and slightly depressing niche of bedroom guitarists talking to other guitarists who will also never leave the bedroom.

My old band used to make similar poor decisions, where we’d get sucked in by every scam that was labelled as “professional” or “industry standard” even if it objectively sucked.

So I guess it fits the song perfectly On the upside, I could hear the concept of glue in my mixes, but it always seemed somewhat ephemeral until I heard those drums. They sound so bad that it clarified exactly what glue is meant to do for me.

He seems to know his theory really well and you get the feeling he could make some pretty interesting videos, but it all just sort of falls flat. I'll counter with one of Stevie T's songs. The dude might be a little over the top annoying and seems to have sponsors in most videos lately, but he can definitely play. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2iDM77xe5Hs

This is more "interesting" than stupid but I kinda like watching this professional drumline guy try to learn metal patterns on a sit down kit. He has all the hand rudiments and knows what he's doing but all the complicated bass drum parts are tough for him since he's never ever had to do stuff with his feet. It's kinda like watching someone learn how to walk in physical therapy, only more wholesome than depressing. That's a really bad analogy but I can't think of anything else. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nWZC0t4uCw Spanish Manlove fucked around with this message at 21:59 on Feb 22, 2021 |

Huxley posted:I unironically want to home-make a shoegazey type thing called "Dinner for 5" where all the lyrics are ingredients and recipes distorted past the point of being able to understand them, just to save me having to write something profound. Back when mbv’s last album came out a buddy of mine went and put out a cover of one of the singles in like 12 hours (a pretty good one too imo) and when I asked him how he got the lyrics he was all I didn’t, I just said things that sounded similar cuz it’s not like you can understand them anyhow

Read a post from a dude this morning complaining of excessive noise through his setup, particularly at high gain. Good news he figured it out: Turned out he uses ethernet over AC for internet access where he lives. He simply shut off his networking gear and the noise went away.

Is anybody really this bad with a Strat they need one of these? https://www.etsy.com/listing/958295338/stratocaster-pickup-selector-guard?ref=shop_home_active_1  quote:Tired of accidentally hitting your pickup selector while thrashing? Sick of starting a song on the neck pickup, only to end on the bridge pickup? This galvanized steel guard will keep your clumsy hands from making you sound even worse! No special screws needed.

I could see it being useful if you're in a funk band. You want it in the 4th position 99% of the time and you use wild machine-like hand movements to strum -> plenty of potential for knocking it out of place. It's not a big deal if you're jamming at home, but I'd pay the $12 for peace of mind if I was gigging.

DrChu posted:Is anybody really this bad with a Strat they need one of these? Eh, I get it. I mean, in the crazy world where I would actually use anything other than the bridge humbucker on my strat. If you're a really energetic person on stage, I could easily see how you'd hit the switch. Still kind of a dumb gadget. Just correct the mistake when you notice it, who cares about tone live anyways, it sounds like crap because of the sound guy/room/other bands amps/PA anyway.

If you're flailing about enough to knock the switch out of position the chances are pretty high you'll whack your knuckles on that thing and start flinging blood all over the place the edges look awful sharp.
