duodenum posted:You will also need another acoustic tuned for The Rain Song and an electric in Open C for Devin Townsend stuff.  A guitar in C is just fuckin fun as hell to mess around with. "The Oracle" by Crown Lands is a really groovy song in open C (I think; either that or drop C) that I absolutely love, not only because it's got a bunch of different inspirations that all mesh together really well to form a solid prog rock song in C but also because the band is literally two musicians. The drummer is the vocalist and the guitarist plays a Rickenbacker double neck 6-string guitar/4 string bass as well as keyboards and a Moog Taurus. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5LXhafq0AM

muike posted:I think it sounds tight when you mix it with a clean electric sound. Not on its own This is more or less how I run it. Guitar goes into Helix effects, splits into two paths, one of which is a big block of DSP cores assigned to a dreadnought acoustic sim, the other being a light chorus and a slight volume duck before they get mixed back together. It sounds okay without the chorus side but the combination of the two makes it sound good instead of just alright.

Beato produced one lovely #1 pop country song in 2005 or some poo poo and that's his crowning life accomplishment that he could never recreate, so now he just makes boomertastic clickbait videos that appeal to people who think Ben Shapiro has a point about rap not being music. Partnering with Gibson is a perfect self-explanatory damnation of everyone involved. If anything, Pat Finnerty is too light on him.

Comedy option: the Alex Lifeson signature Epiphone Les Paul. It's like the anti-blues lawyer LP: Floyd Rose, piezo with fade, coil split, comfort and lightening carves, and dual output jacks. The only way it could be better is if it had the Fishman Fluences from the Prophecy series in them. Ooh, there's another good not-boomer Les Paul, actually. There's a Prophecy Les Paul but I don't think it comes in anything resembling traditional Les Paul finishes. e: these are all pretty sick nasty tbh https://www.epiphone.com/en-US/Collection/prophecy

syntaxfunction posted:I will also restate that while I'm selling my Gibson I am 100% getting another Les Paul. Les Pauls are amazing. They're "active" in the sense that they have 9VDC-powered circuitry to alter their tonal characteristics on the fly, not in the 80s/90s "MORE VOLTS MAKE MY PICKUPS MORE ANGRY" sense of active. The push/pull on the tone knob lets you switch between Burstbucker and Fishman Modern and then push-pull on the individual volume knobs lets you toggle coil split for the bridge and neck pickups individually. Also they've got locking tuners so there's really nothing you need to add to them. As soon as I find a store nearby where I can sit down with one of the Exturas and make sure it feels good in my hands I'm buying one of the ones in purple burst.

When that song came out my first thought was “chad no the dark horse/here and now era is one best left in the past you’re better than this” Song stinks, sorry Nickelback. Can’t defend this one.

Their first three albums are excellent. Then there’s a bit of a curve downwards and back up until you hit the last album, which is back to really good. I could write proper  about it but it’s a defence of nickelback so it’ll probably just lead to me being on a bunch of ignore lists lol

The first three Nickelback albums are really interesting because they're sufficiently grunge that the inclusion of "How You Remind Me" on Silver Side Up feels like an aberration that they threw in just because the label wanted a poppy single. Like, that album opens with this song, which is downright heavy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5zFsftnkWE Unfortunately following the success of "How You Remind Me", every Nickelback album is at least 30% single bait by volume. The remaining 70% is a gamble as to whether they're going to be stinkers or actually pretty good. All The Right Reasons was 50% stinkers Dark Horse was almost a full 70% stinkers. Here and Now was 50% stinkers. They recovered on Feed the Machine but this new album's looking like it's sliding back into stinker-heavy.

I pulled my old Fender acoustic (steel string) out of the closet and hooo boy these strings are grody and cannot handle a low tune for poo poo. I can't remember the last time I restrung it. Still sounds great for the whole ten seconds it's in tune though.

I'm not one to post Beato but god drat he interviewed Steve Lukather and the dude is the most awesome, humble, friendly seeming of living guitar legends. I would love to just hang out with someone so well-traveled in the art for a couple hours. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nBbzajS29o Also his Music Man signature is a beautiful guitar. My first Music Man love is the classic John Petrucci, but one of these days I'm gonna get a Luke.

L&M has Epiphone Prophecy Exturas in stock at their warehouse and I'm having a really hard time not pulling the trigger completely blind. I don't like to buy a guitar I haven't had any hands on time with and that's what's keeping me from doing it. If they had one in stock at my local store I'd give it a solid hour of testing through a Mark V (since they have a shitload of Mesas in stock) but no dice.

Lower the side that the lower strings are on a bit then see how it sounds. If it's less bassy but still a bit too much so, give the screw another turn or so to lower it a bit more. The lower the magnets are from the strings, the less powerful of an "imprint" the strings apply to the magnetic field of the pickup.

Colin James was the best show I’ve been to this decade. Man has some serious energy on top of being an incredibly soulful bluesman. Rush R40 was probably the best I’ve ever been to though. Those guys played their hearts out and hearing Losing It live was an absolute treasure.

Well then. Turned on my Mark V, it sounded way too loud and was clipping my cabclone, and then it started smelling funny. Like, ozone and electrical shorts funny. That was an expensive thirty seconds of playing guitar.

DOPE FIEND KILLA G posted:they counting the jp2c as mark vi? They're saying they did a Mark VI prototype internally then I guess kitbashed improvements from the 2C onto it and went "ehhhhh it's more of a Mark VII now". Looks like channel 1 is clean/fat/crunch, channel 2 is fat/crunch/Mk7, and channel 3 is MkIIB/MkIIC+/MkIV. So they canned Tweed, Edge, and Xtreme. The manual says that Mk7 is supposed to be somewhere between a Mark IV and a Triple Crown. Also they jammed a full on IR box into it so I guess that explains why it's loving $3500 USD  e: They added native MIDI support and footswitchable reverb as well, that's kinda handy for people who gig a bunch.
