I restrung the Yairi with D'Addario phosphor bronze EJ16 strings tonight. Prior to re-stringing, I played my normal warmup with the old Elixer strings still on the guitar, and they still sounded good. I should mention that I normally play acoustic guitar using the flesh of my fingers. After...

Harmonisers or Melodicists? I fall into the Harmonisers category. It's always been easy for me to sing harmony...even to a song I've only listened to once with a single vocal.

How is double tracking a vocal track better than copying the track and offsetting it by a few milleseconds?

I appreciate all of the responses. I ordered a variety of D'Addario, GHS, and Elixir guitar strings that I am quite familiar with to experiment with further on my acoustic guitars to attain the best guitar/string marriage that brings out the best sound on an individual guitar basis. I'm...

For the past 15 years (or more) I have exclusively used Elixer strings on all of my acoustic guitars with good results, but recently it occurred to me that I shouldn't be single minded to the extent of using a particular brand of strings on all my acoustic guitars. I'm at the point of purchasing...

On that point...I agree with your assessment of the overall state of music these days. There's nothing new or ground breaking at all.

If you are indeed researching changes within the music industry....why limit changes to the past two or three years? You need to broaden the scope of your research by at least 60 years (possibly 70 years) to attain an understanding of how it is artists like Robert Johnson, BB King, Chuck Berry...

It's a real good song! The pause wasn't necessary.

At the 48 second mark, I hear (in my head) a sweet female vocalist beginning to sing. The first 47 seconds is simply the beginning of a larger piece of music and storytelling. Use your imagination to go beyond the beginning. Songs are no different than books are. Every good book has a...

The opening 47 seconds is good.

You should write a book of past experiences! wink wink

With all due respect, I understand your desire to resurrect songs that you wrote and had demoed in the 80s and 90s in an attempt to "start pitchin' these masterpieces to Nashville", but the vast majority of "country music" being produced in Nashville these days all sound the same. Cookie Cut...

It has wheels, so you don't have to carry it all the way home. Looks like someone took real good care of it. Good luck with it!

The sharing of videos such as that video is what makes HR a great place!

Except for one thing. Without music, lyrics are soundless.

P Post your draft lyrics for the sake of comparing your draft lyrics versus ChatGPT, AI generated lyrics. For the sake of discussion: Suppose it that after you record the song, the song became a tremendous hit, and won a Grammy award for "Song of The Year", or "Best Lyrics". Would you be...

I'm not certain that an "internet intervention" would be helpful. Back in the days of "The Cave", shortly after Jamfest 6, a prominent member posted a grim thread about his purchasing a gun which led many people to believe that he was on the verge of suicide. Mayhem ensued. HR members were...

My apologies to Random Dude. Perhaps he was right. Dude needs help. Lazer, Darth Vader is NOT your father. You really are confusing the hell out everyone here. You're stretching the threads of compassion to the breaking point.

You're missing the point!!!!! You intimated that nobody cares enough about Lazer. That's entirely incorrect. I pointed out otherwise. Lazer is a regular here at HR. Lazer is well liked, even though every once in a while he does post some bizarre stuff at times, and entertaining. To be honest...

You haven't changed much Rami.
