    Improving muscle memory?

    Good tips guys. I do believe there is such a thing as muscle memory. When I am doing a new song over and over again and then go back to one of my old songs, it seems like my hands tend to go into the positions of the new song I been working on.

    Improving muscle memory?

    I been tryin to find ways to improve my guitar playing and have come across a lot of people saying to practice your muscle memory. Anybody have any good exercises to improve muscle memory? My main thing I am trying to improve is coming in and out of solos cleanly. For example, I might be playing...

    Vintage tone pick up?

    I was able to adjust the pickups. I got a decent tone that I am happy with now. Thanks for the tips guys!

    Vintage tone pick up?

    thanks for the tip. I will try it out. Generally speaking, how is the tone affected by lowering or raising? ( i.e...lowering makes the tone_____, and rasing it makes the tone_____.) My prob right now is that the high end is a bit bright and piercing. I havent changed the stock strings either. I...

    Vintage tone pick up?

    Thanks for the tips guys. I aint much of a guitar mechanic, so I prob would have to get it done at a shop. Are there any good sites that have DIY instructions? The more I been messing with my jag, the more I'm liking the sound. It just takes a bit of tweaking on the amp and tube simulator.

    Vintage tone pick up?

    I just bought a jagmaster as a back up to my Les Paul. I think the stock Duncan designed pups it comes sound pretty good for the price but a bit too piercing. What are some decent budget pups I can get that have a vintage 50s tone but without the hum and not too piercing and thin. Don't want...

    Jagmaster?

    I think I'll save a few bucks and pick one up. When I tried it, I played it through one of fender's solid state modeling amps set to the tweed and it still had a nice vintage tone to it.

    Jagmaster?

    I am looking for a decent low budget short scale guitar (small hands) to be a backup to my Les Paul. Has anybody tried a jagmaster? I tried one at my local GC plugged into a fender amp and fell in love with the tone. Good for rockabilly or my surf stuff. I only tried it for a few minutes so I'm...

    Ibanez Artcore series

    I have a hollow body artcore in the vintage sunburst finish. I used it for a good while as my main guitar before I got a Les Paul. It has a good tone. It passes for rockabilly. The one thing I hated is that after a few months, the high E and B string couldn't stay in tune very well higher up on...

    Bass crossover?

    Thanks for the tips. We use an upright bass and the 2x10 cab is used for the loudness and slap. The 1x15 cab picks up the low thump. Would a rack mount 2 channel eq work for this purpose? Run the 10's to one channel and the 15 to the other channel? Yeah, after I posted my opening post I did...

    Bass crossover?

    I need suggestions guys. We use bass amp head and a 2x10 cab and also a 1x15 cab. The amp does have two speaker outputs so having both cabs connected is no problem. The problem is that the amp is not biamped and we wanna be able to cut some lows out of the 2x10 cab. The amp does have an eq but...

    Understanding the keyboard?

    Thanks for the tips. Pretty confusing stuff but I think I am gettin the hang of it. I am working on a quick little instrumental that I will let you guys hear if you want. Will be all midi except for guitar.

    Understanding the keyboard?

    Thanks a lot scientist. That will help me a lot. So basically c4 would be like the first position for any chord? I do notice that it defaults to c5.

    Understanding the keyboard?

    Hey guys. I really don't do any midi stuff but I just got the fl studio program so I can do some solo stuff for practice. I am really liking it too. My question is what exactly are the c0-c9 ? I believe its octaves but not too sure. What is the typical starting point? In other words, what C on...

    Psycho and Outlaw Heartbreak

    Thanks for listening Greg. Your mistake is prob best suited for those that are into loud psychobilly. LOL. On that's a lie, I compressed the vocals as much as I can without totally killing it. If I remember correctly, we recorded that one live and she had no mic stand. So I thinks that's what...

    Psycho and Outlaw Heartbreak

    Thanks for the critique guys. On the your mistake song, we were trying to get that spooky reverb feel to it and not emphasize vocals too much. Maybe I can turn the vocals up a bit.

    Psycho and Outlaw Heartbreak

    Thanks for the listen. Vocals is always a hard spot for me to mix. There is always a high frequency that gives me trouble even with eq. So when I am in doubt, I go with the lower volume on the vocal track.

    "Soap and Shampoo"...Check this one out

    Nice. Drums Sounds very real. What do you use to program? When I try little practice stuff without the band, I can't program drums for the life of me!

    Vulture

    guitars,bass and drum sound pretty well together and playin is pretty darn good as well. I do hear the verb on the drums too. The first thing that stood out to me is the vocals as well. Sounds kinda detached from the song, like it was recorded in a totally different environment. But you do a...
