  1. shocking. dude tried to sell one of the guitars for $250. outrageous.
  2. they got a nice little assortment. i'd be happy with that broadcaster and the ric
  3. An actual old J45. I thought those things were supposed to be all over the place??
  4. what's the third switch-looking thing on the left side of the amp? there's the mains/standby switches, but also an extra thing... what's that about?
  5. Neck and middle pickups got this real buttery sound to em. i love that the artist remembered to put a blob of butter on there
  6. when you say you're "working on time" what exactly are you doing? how do you think you can practice playing better rhythm or playing in time better?
  7. gday gday young band (15-16 at the time), recorded in a concrete garage with a couple of 58's. multi-tracked, mixed in audacity and soundforge. we're planning on re-recording this song and two other originals, tips are needed/appreciated haha. bass is direct, guitars are a special edition telecaster (SD PG+ and 59) into a JCM2000. vocals are fairly dry, aswell as drums. drums were two overheads and one kick mic. cheers! so ... where do we go to listen??
  8. While this makes achieving pinch harmonics easier, I feel that this adds unnecessary complexity to the technique which distracts from and makes more difficult the process. I stopped using it many years ago. The 'glancing thumb' works with fewer complexities but just requires more practice to 'perfect'. As I wrote in another thread, glancing the thumb is more a matter of slight changes in picking attack than concentrating on getting the thumb to glance the string (as the slight changes naturally do that for you). In most ways I hate to say it: you'll know it when you 'see' it - then you'll be able to use it almost unrestricted. this is true, it's defnitely more work to flip the pick sideways in your hand, but once it is sideways, you will hit the pinch harmonics infinitely more easily than if the pick is held the normal way. at the very least, it's helpful to practice "sideways" until you get the hang of how it's supposed to work, then you can focus on learning to do it with the pick the normal way
  9. try turning the pick sideways in your hand so that you actually hit the string with the side/shoulder of the pick. it makes it a lot easier to do the glancing thumb thing (that's the way Billy G does it)
  10. oh man, also i would STRONGLY urge you to stay away from those JBLs. We had those exact monitors in a smaller studio at my college (we're talking a fully treated room) and they sounded TERRIBLE. anything you recorded or mixed in there would have to be completely changed when you took it to the main studio. didn't translate well AT ALL. the engineer said he was going to get rid of them because everyone was complaining about them... maybe we were doing it wrong??
  11. i went with the Adam A5s to save money from the A7s and because my room isn't too large. in my room they make it down to ~60hz and then the bottom drops out. that being said, i've never experienced such fantastic sound from my music collection. and my own mixes translate better than ever before. count me as a fan! :thu:
  12. I think that sounds pretty damn grat man! Especially the guitars and drum. Like the voice too! And those sweet harmonies add alot to it. I'd turn them down behind your voice a slight tad. And at some points it almost sounds like your mixer is being overdriven, or it's driving whatever you're running it into. And the solo is ace Short and sweet to convey the feeling. I'm sure after you've gone through it a few times, you'll be ready to record it straightforward and it will be phenomenal! i've got a tape sim plugin on the master fader that was getting driven a bit, that's prob what you're hearing. i'll kick it down a tad and hear how that changes things. thanks!
  13. "Bluebonnet Road" recorded this afternoon. i'm a crappy singer and no good at programming drums so if you can get beyond that i think it sounds pretty good http://soundclick.com/share?songid=8360105
