I have an X series Jackson Soloist. Absolutely change the screws. Also next time you have your Floyd Rose out, tighten the whammy bar post on the bridge itself.
As for tuning. I usually tune G, D, B, A, HIGH E, LOW E. If you have the bridge blocked off (I use a broken pencil with masking tape wrapped around it until it's the right thickness), it really does make it easier to tune that way. And always tune in the playing position as gravity will affect the tension of the bridge.
I should have stayed home with my cats and ordered take-out. The gays are just as transphobic as anyone else. Fuck people. I opened myself up and I'm mad I did.
Trying to learn more metal riffs. I'm not really a beginner, but not really intermediate yet. I've played off and on for years and years, but never took it too seriously....
2nd single off King Gizz new heavy metal album. Super fun song. Basically two old school thrash songs with a TOOL song in the middle. Hilarious and fun music video.
Ordered a Jackson Soloist which will be here today. Ordering a Positive Grid Spark 40 in the next couple of days. I imagine I'll use downloaded presets for the Spark 40 that resemble popular thrash metal setups since that's mostly what I play. But I will also browse other presets.
I just jam in my bedroom for funsies. No plans to play shows or anything.
From what little I can find the SL5X and SL3 are essentially the same guitar except the 5x has HSH pickup configuration and is manufactured in Indonesia....
Update from Fender. The SL5X was a fender special run that featured an HSH pickup configuration and blue burst finish. Other than that it's the same as a series x soloist.
Had a deal I couldn't refuse on a chuggy chuggy shreddy guitar. Need an decent practice amp. I'll definitely be playing some clean stuff or very little over drive stuff of my favorite 90s songs. But obviously the guitar is a thrash animal and that is my favorite shit, so what tiny amp combo can at least put out something...

This might be incredibly dumb, but I'm having a ridiculous difficultly translating stuff I wrote without a metronome into playing it with a metronome or backing beat...
Like...it's definitely in an odd time signature. Am I just boned since there's no telling what actual time signature it is?...
What do you consider your bad decisions when starting?

The last words I had with someone at Pride tonight, someone who I thought was maybe a new friend was - "well, you're not a real woman anyways".

Random question, but what are some good, not too difficult metal solos to learn?

Let's talk amp settings.
Tell your guitar, style of play, and settings for your amp. Mention a pedal too.

Kind of impulse bought a used Jackson Soloist SL5X. Can't seem to find much of anything online about it. All the articles talk about the SL3. What is the difference?
From what little I can find the SL5X and SL3 are essentially the same guitar except the 5x has HSH pickup configuration and is manufactured in Indonesia....
Just bought a Jackson SL5X Soloist. First guitar I've bought in almost 20 years. What would be a nice practice amp for a small house? Don't need anything overly loud or powerful
