Got to jam with a group today with the #Gretsch and it's got some neat tricks to it. It has some particular sweet spots with rhythm distortion. I can see now why this was popular with some grunge era guitarists. A little bolder and easier to tame than a Strat and not as overruling as a Les Paul.
I mixed a song a couple of nights ago but didn’t get around to posting it to my alonetone or hearthis.at accounts so it just sat there on my laptop. Now it is out there for the whole wide world to ignore.
I think it kinda sounds like crap, but the song itself is okay, I think. You can probably hear the edits in the chorus because I wrote a melody without leaving any space for that pesky little breathing thing. Oops.
The lead guitar was through a nearly cranked amp. That was fun. Noisy as hell, but fun.
Have this #AllmanBrothers tribute gig coming up in #Raleigh at the Lincoln on Saturday so I sat down with my #dobro last night to make sure the internal Fishman still worked. Of course, it didn’t. So, a little heavy duty double sided tape and an old Lawrence and I’m back in business. Sounds pretty great, too!
Today I finally got my hands on a Big Muff pedal so that I can ape the Siamese Dream sound. Hopefully it can make up for the pain of the past few days. I now have a Super Fuzz and a Big Muff pedal so I feel I have fulfilled a teenage dream that began with #Mudhoney Now to make some noise! #gearsquad#guitar#SmashingPumpkins#GuitarPedals
Ok I have to ask: what’s the deal with Orange amps? I see them frequently online in guitar and gear Facebook groups and other forums. People seem to love them. I’ve never tried one though so I’m just curious. #guitar#gearsquad
This is my general recommendation for the best acoustic #guitar for the price. They play and feel like an $800 guitar. The tone, neck, and overall quality is phenomenal. You can occasionally find deals on these around $300. The "folk" version is incredibly versatile, so it is worthy for unplugged campfires as well as playing live. It's a solid workhorse that won't have a problem keeping up with a Martin or Taylor and won't give you "glass mandolin syndrome".
oh man so somebody fell on hard times -- walked by the pawn shop, there's a rather nice (epiphone) les paul for way too much money in the window next to a really nice marshall (for way too little money). seriously, though, i just bought an amp yesterday for good money off somebody, if i didn't, i'd be very seriously considering storming in there and getting it, it's criminally underpriced unless it's either broken or not what it looks like. #guitar#amp#marshall
Ayyyy #GearSquad let’s talk about amplifier speakers today. What’s the best speaker you’ve heard or used? Size? What amp was it paired with? Tell us why it changed your sonic life. #guitar#bass#synth
