I used one of those daisy chain thingies for a while and it was the noisest piece of shit ever. Now I use the earlier iteration of the Dunlop Brick, called the Juice Box. It's been great for me, and super quiet.

Dude, there are so many good amps for rock and metal out there. Nobody can steer you to the right one, you've just got to find a way to try them out or at least hear them in action somehow so you can decide what you like the best. Describe what you don't like about the Marshall or what you...

Ain't nothing wrong with that tone, I think you've done a good job. I liked the cleaner stuff personally, I could imagine that in a full mix pretty easily. What sort of amp are you using here?

Hollowness?

I would imagine that sending to a cassette deck would add the "tape sound" in much the same way that tracking through this: ...would yield the "tube sound" :D

By the way, the lick at 1:03 is perhaps the coolest lick ever played.

While it certainly is not lacking, I find it to be largely unremarkable. Is that as good as Les Pauls get? :p Just kidding.... I was searching my memory banks for what I remember as the best tone I've ever heard and Guthrie Govan came to mind, he's got some great tone in my opinion. Here's...

That thing looks like a fucking joke to me. If there were a decent attenuator around for 50 bucks, it wouldn't be confined to ebay, it would be big news.

I bet he can jerk off in under 5 seconds. Pointless. I'm about as envious of this guy as I am the Guiness record holder for the longest fingernails or something.

My technique has changed around alot over the years but it's been pretty static for a while now. I changed the way I hold the pick out of necessity, but pretty much unconsciously. I used to hold the pick with my fingertips, between my index and thumb. Over the years, as I started to develop...

Is it just an eq thing? Have you tried zeroing in on the harshness and cutting it?

Sorry, it's sold. Just got verification of that this morning.

It's like you're building up to say something really mesmerizing, but you're waiting for the right moment. Just do it man. :rolleyes:

I never really thought about it, but I think you have to wretch about and gyrate your body violently, make some strange faces, etc, but mostly you just need to turn up the amp real loud and point the pickups at it and move the guitar around or maybe use the whammy bar. You could also use a...

Yeah, giving a more specific explanation like this changes everything. So.... +2 to Robert D

Well, sometimes I leave my strings on for way too long, so when I put new ones on they sound really bright and kind of satisfying. When I was gigging I changed them constantly and I would stretch them out maniacally before I tried to play on them and I never noticed that new ones really sounded...

I'm sorry, what? You need to communicate your problem a little more clearly, this isn't going to get you anywhere.

I'm going to pretend you were asking about the fingerboard, and I'm going to say ebony. Do I win a prize? :p

All I know is that the last scale I would play would be Bb. :D

The only way to improve is to practice. Just make sure that your practice is actually doing you good. Don't practice doing it wrong. Figure out what would make you do it right and start practicing that. :D That might mean you need to do things really slow at first, but it will pay off. By the...
