not affiliated with Guitar Center at all. Noticed that D’Addario EXL 110 strings (10-46) are on sale online. $39.99 for 12 sets ($3.33/set) with free shipping in the USA. It’s really hard to find these, even in bulk , for less than $5/pack so this is a killer deal....

Hi everyone who’s reading: I’m looking for an overdrive pedal that can go into distortion as well when pushed to high gain (or vice versa). I’m using a TS9 clone now and while I love the sound it provides, it cannot go into full distortion. Is there something that woulf help my needs? Plus point if it’s a “budget”...

I study guitar as a hobby. When I practice, I often play a little ahead of the metronome click. I can see it when I record myself with GarageBand....

Hi, I’m a beginner who just started learning the F barre chord....

I’m trying to find the optimal setup for me but I’m struggling with it, I’d love to hear your suggestions....

Facebook and Youtube pages appear to be completely rebranded....

Hi! I hope you don’t mind giving some advice on buying a desktop amp. I’m talking basically about those amp sims with full range mini-speakers. I’ve been playing for years, but I’ve been using amp sims. I’ve previously owned tube amps, but found them inconvenient for practicing and always ended up playing unplugged. I...

What are your thoughts on Monoprice DLX Plus guitars versus guitars such as Squier Affinity/Classic Vibe, Epiphone Special, Yamaha Pacifica, Harley Benton, and etc?

Let’s share about our favorite guitar picks....

Hi....

Hi all,...

Admittedly I don’t treat them too well, I roll over them with my computer chair sometimes. Play with them outside across the grass. Etc. I buy cheap cables though....

Just trying to inject some life into this community beyond NGD post....

i know this is weird and let me know if this is off topic, but i have trouble walking properly after playing the guitar....

it usually wrecks my mood for a few hours; i pride myself on being good at stuff and when i try to play something, and the tuning is weird, or this pedal got nudged and sounds bad, or i try a new song and fuck it up, etc etc, it gives me a headache and feels bad. instead of the post-playing glow i feel wrung out....

I somehow only just learned that daisy chaining all of your guitar pedals with the same power cable can cause extra noise. I don’t have that many pedals right now which is probably why I didn’t notice it....

I have a guitar, a ZOOM G5n, a solid state amp and a fedora laptop.(no audio interface)...

Hi there! I’m trying to find a gift for my resident bassist. He’s got a 15W 10" bass amp which for bass is only enough for rehearsals. He started gigging and I want to gift him a new amp.

Hi I am hoping for recommendations for desktop monitors to use with a modeler, thanks in advance!...

Hi There! I am a beginner to amplifiers and I purchased an Aroma AG-15a for busking, which has separate guitar and mic inputs. I purchased a dynamic stage mic (Behringer BA 85a) and an XLR to 1/4inch stereo TRS cord, but there is no sound when plugged in, even with both volume knobs on the amp turn up to full. I tested the...

Hello everybody...

Hello, I am new to guitar (3 weeks) and I am practicing every day (a bit too much some days which could be exacerbating) and I have pretty small hands. I think my middle finger measures about 3 inches....

I used this stuff for the first time on some frets that had gotten quite dull and lightly corroded wherever I don’t play often. About 10 minutes of rubbing down with fret butter had them gleaming. It does actually feel like butter, hence a bit gross, but it smells great and worked really well.

I wanted to recreate the stoner rock sound (think early queen of the stone age, heavy riffs with fuzzy distortion…) on software/VSTs. Any tips? I’m quite a beginner when it comes to effects and sound quality
