It's just an A5 power chord shape with an additional lower 5th added. I'm not sure there's even notation for that, it's just a different voicing.

Y'know those power chords that are like... double power chords?? Yeah you can think of it as a root 6 power chord with 4ths instead of 5ths, or a root 5 with the 5th in the bass to give it more depth. I use them a lot as the latter, it means the lowest power chord you can get in standard is an A5, pretty sassy. Since when were Silverchair not a drop D shop though?

It's got the same scale length as a Jag so they should be ok  Something is amiss though, having said that mine is 51 years old and some badass probably in the 70s fitted a monster brass nut on it so my reference points are all out of whack. Can you take a pic directly down onto the nut and bridge? If there is an issue we can spot it I reckon

For example this particular video took about 3x10 mins to shoot, 30 mins to edit, an hour to render and 45 minutes to upload - and I'm very aware that I'm not a great guitarist either, and I have no audience. Sometimes that gets me down and if it gets too onerous I just have to drop the whole idea and do it another day.

Occasionally people will latch onto your stuff unexpectedly, even if you yourself don't feel its good. On one of my soundclouds I put up a instrumental cover of "Du riescht so gut" and somehow i hit the free account limit of 100 downloads. I had about a tenth that many followers and didn't promote it or anything, was just something i put up for my girlfriend. Other stuff on there had maybe 5 downloads or likes or whatever but for some reason my bad Rammstein cover did really well by my standards. Keep at it, like playing itself, the important thing is you enjoy doing it, if it becomes a chore then re-think. One of my current favourite youtube bedroom guitarists is some Polish dude in an anonymous mask who does Limp Bizkit covers, purely because his whammy bar skills are insane and he clearly is super enthusiastic about doing it.

Also that bass-drum pattern was tight AF but sounded a bit flubby at the start? Thanks! Probably, I only wrote the thing in 20 minutes to sarcastically respond to an email (took three hours to write and record though  ) so each riff is basically just a subtle variation of each other, that I wrote while trying to make a grindcore song after playing a lot of slayer the past week. After the part at 0:33 I should have added another riff to create some contrast but I was trying the "less is more" approach so the song didn't bloat out to eight minutes long as the whole point was to scream incoherently into a mic plugged into a tube screamer then reverbed to hell to reply to my supervisors with "nah dude I'll pass on dressing up for the christmas party."After looking into the bass drum pattern at the beginning, I think I over humanized the first few parts and then didn't humanize the rest of the song after the break so it sounds muddy as gently caress at the beginning and then tight throughout the rest of the song. I'm still trying to get the hang of that, because humanizing a drum machine is the keystone to using a machine. Spanish Manlove fucked around with this message at 11:34 on Oct 13, 2016 |

I tend to leave the grid on but turn off snap when I'm aiming for "realistic" beats, so I'm drawing to the grid but everything is a tiny bit 'off'. Or if its a full track I'm happy with the structure of I'll consolidate all the midi to one clip then use Cubase's iterative quantize (don't know if Reaper can do similar).

If it's just blocks of midi (so a whole 'beat' is in one clip which is how I mostly work) then you should just be able to line them up and glue them together. If you have separate midi tracks for kicks, snares etc then http://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=76767 may be of use? You're using Superior Drummer, right? The humanise functions in there are pretty ok for velocity control but take a while to nail, they're really twitchy. I found a hilarious but mostly useless guide on metalguitarist where it devolved into 'gently caress you shithead' within 2 posts too. Its nice that ML doesn't get like that and thats why i don't bother posting musicy stuff anywhere else NonzeroCircle fucked around with this message at 12:16 on Oct 13, 2016 |

Oh duh, I was trying the regular glue command and not getting good results but turns out there's a "glue items within time selection" that is entirely what I want. Thanks, I'm an idiot sometimes. I'm using reaper's midi editor so I'm using its humanize function (conveniently mapped to "h" ) and everything's all on one master track, that I then copy onto a reinforcement track below it that's just toms/snare/kick so luckily I don't need to really get super fancy. Superior Drummer is confusing as gently caress, any time I try to change a single setting in there I end up somewhere else tweaking a completely different setting and forgetting about why I even cracked it open in the first place. To me the UI is like the Pied Piper UI from Sillicon Valley. I want to read that guide because it sounds funny. Ironically the music part of this forum is one of the better ones and people are often really helpful, it's not just about dickwaving new purchases and to me that's a huge thing because I'd rather play my guitars than get new ones. Also I likely have too many but that's besides the point.

I had one. Very slim neck, easy to play. Pickups are weirdly low output. Definitely a single coil sound, but mine didn't have the bite of a strat. Overall it was well-mannered and predictable, and very light. Only major con for me was the bridge dug into my hand if I palm muted, which I do a lot. Forgot what the switches did, but they were fun. No idea what they're worth these days, but I think I paid $350 in the late 90s.

Really dumb question, but is it even possible to run a 35w head into a single 1x12 V30 without blowing the speaker? What about higher wattage heads? If you have a 120w 6505+, for example, it's pretty much impossible to play that through anything smaller than a 4x12 without damaging the speakers, right?

It absolutely is. Just make sure the speaker is rated for enough wattage (check the sticker on the back) and also the right impedance for the amp (again the sticker on the back of the speaker, and also whatever is written above/below/beside the speaker out on the amp)

If you have a 120w 6505+, for example, it's pretty much impossible to play that through anything smaller than a 4x12 without damaging the speakers, right? All that should matter is output impedance because the output transformer doesn't give a poo poo about the internal power of the amp, but actually the load it's connected to. Ideally if the load on the amp matches the internal impedance* of the amp then maximum power will be transfered. Amps are AC circuits but that's a whole loving mess of confusion so don't worry about that poo poo, but the cabinet thinks of your amp as just a voltage source with a resistance to it so the impedance selector on your amp's output changes that internal amp impedance that the cabinet sees. So that's why when you hook up an 8 Ohm cabinet to an amp, you should set the amp to 8 Ohm. I'm going to pull some easy numbers out of my rear end to demonstrate what happens:  This is a DC circuit but the explanation still applies for AC, except poo poo gets super hairy and weird with RMS power and reactive loads and power triangles and other poo poo you don't have time for and certainly don't need to care about. So if the internal resistance R is at 8 Ohm then the voltage across the 8 Ohm cab is 50 V, so the power on that load is 2500 / 8 = 312.5 W. If R is 4 Ohm then then voltage on the load is 66.67 V so the power on the load is 555.56 W. The output voltage on an amp isn't even close to 100 V so don't worry about why these numbers are so large. If you want to play with this yourself, go to http://www.raltron.com/cust/tools/voltage_divider.asp and put in examples of dummy loads and internal resistances. To find power across the load, it's the (voltage across the load) squared, divided by the resistance. Or simply (V^2)/R. Simply put, don't worry about the physical size of the cabinet, but the impedance of the cabinet/speaker/DI box. Edit: also don't forget about total power draw of the load because even if it's a matched load, you can still blow that fucker up with entirely too much balanced power Also you can do some fun tricks with underpowering a cab or slightly overpowering a cab. *note: resistance is DC circuits and impedance is AC circuits. Think of them as the same thing in this example but they're not really the same thing in every other example and it's kinda confusing so don't worry about it.
