    Looking for advice/feedback on the Gibson Les Paul Studio 70's Tribute

    Thanks. I know it was an amazing deal and I like the way it plays (it needs some new strings, but otherwise it plays beautifully). I've been struggling with my tone for a while, it's not really specific to this guitar I guess (now that I think about it). I need to post in the Tone thread and...

    Looking for advice/feedback on the Gibson Les Paul Studio 70's Tribute

    Well, I pulled the trigger. Didn't have to sleep in the dog house either. I convinced my wife it was an amazing deal so she said to just go get it. It will be a while before I can do that again though. I'm having a little bit of buyers remorse to be honest. The mini humbuckers in this thing...

    Looking for advice/feedback on the Gibson Les Paul Studio 70's Tribute

    I guess one thing that's "bothering" me about the guitar itself is the mini-humbuckers. I've never owned or played a guitar with those before and this is the only guitar I've ever seen with one (I'm sure they're not exclusive to this guitar though). I play mostly rock/metal and some blues. Of...

    Looking for advice/feedback on the Gibson Les Paul Studio 70's Tribute

    My wife and I don't see eye to eye on these types of purchases. We have the money, but she sees it as an unnecessary purchase. Which of course it is. I already have "too many guitars" as it is.

    Looking for advice/feedback on the Gibson Les Paul Studio 70's Tribute

    I have a chance to pick up one of these for $600 brand new. I've played it twice and I love it, but I'm curious if anyone knows anything else about them. I'm a lefty so it's rare to find these and such a good deal. I might snatch it up for that price. It would be my first Les Paul.

    EZDrummer2 vs. Jamstix vs. ???

    What midi packs does everyone have for EZD1/2? I'm thinking about getting the DFH one and maybe either Rock! or the Pop/Rock one.

    For Audio Production: stay with Cubase (Nuendo) or go w/ Reaper? Or another?

    I haven't used the DAWs you've used, but I do use Reaper now and I've used Studio One in the past. Studio One has an Artist version that you can use for $99, but you can't use plug-ins unless you buy an add-on pack. Studio One is really nice and I really liked it, but it's $199 for me to...

    EZDrummer2 vs. Jamstix vs. ???

    I don't think SD has the Tap 2 Find feature though does it? I'm looking for quicker ways to find midi beats to use in songs.

    EZDrummer2 vs. Jamstix vs. ???

    The Tap 2 Find feature is what is drawing me to EZD2. I downloaded the demo for Jamstix and it was really complicated (which you guys did warn me about) so I think I'm going EZD2. I'm looking for something to help kickstart my song creation and I think it's the right tool for that job...

    Best online resource for used guitars, amps & pedals?

    I made a purchase from Reverb.com just two weeks ago. It was a great experience. Just check out who's selling it and be cautious as always.

    Question about string noise

    Good to know. I'll post an update after the string change.

    No worries. Sounds like you get the gist of what we're saying now. :) You'll get a lot of good feedback from this forum if you come back and acknowledge it.

    Question about string noise

    I had one of my guitars professionally set up by the tech in the local music store last summer (so about a year ago) and it was playing great until about a week ago. Now I have this buzzing at the nut on the G string (not fret buzz, but a very fast and quiet buzz). It only happens when I have...

    Maybe we should ban this guy? :D

    I wanna hold your hand by the Beatles Cover by Ellise

    Gotcha. I will watch out for this stuff in the future. I guess I should have known considering there wasn't even a few words in the post (just the video).

    Feedback on some improv blues lead playing

    Thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate the critque and advice. All of your constructive criticisms are things I've noticed myself and I'm working on, especially the timing. I used to Quantize everything in the DAW, but I'm working on improving my timing now instead. Also the repetition...

    Feedback on some improv blues lead playing

    I wasn't sure where to post this since it's not a mix, but rather I'd like some feedback on some guitar lead improv I did over a blues backing track. I hope this is the right place, if not let me know or mods feel free to move it to the right place. There are some rough spots, I did a few...

    I wanna hold your hand by the Beatles Cover by Ellise

    I'm assuming you're looking for feedback on your singing? You have a nice voice, you definitely can sing. I personally don't care for the background music being so low volume, but I get that you're showcasing the singing so it makes sense. Also, just my personal opinion here, I don't like it...
