[Excel EXL-1 vs Broadway]

Very jazzy 

[How Did You Get Started as a DJ?]

It seems you have an odd set of posting here in a Guitar Forum.

our main focus is guitar playing, getting better at music and for some learning to play gig's (which I can attest is very difficult)

this is not a forum on AI song stealing and in this case a discussion on how to become a DJ.

If you want DJ advice.. go to Guitar Center .com and type in DJ equipment. you'd get lots of gear and price points to choose from.

nobody uses 'records' in DJ'ing any more

and Guitar Center search will provide you help on your quest.

 

[New Gear Acquisitions]

I’m now seeing the picture whole

yesterday I was only able to see the tip of the headstock in both places 

[New Gear Acquisitions]

I’m not seeing any pictures 

[Trouble Brewing]

Great you were able to all practice together before your big day. 
 

great job as a group playing live. 

[NGD: For the Fingerstyle Retreat]

Oh the tone wood

its all in the top

[Trouble Brewing]

I'm a sucker for woodgrain

 

[Trouble Brewing]

BTW forgot to say.. like that blue Strat of yours

[Session Nine]

@Anon session 9 marks the main learning of this course 

after this session is as Steve calls it “Tools” for your tool belt 

they start working on specific types of playing 

session 10 fingerstyle is quite the ‘rabbit hole’ most get the feeling of 10 to return later as opposed to mastering it

Sessions 11-20 expand of styles like jazz and rock.

 Started the Truefire Boot Camp in January, but work got in the way. I just got to Week 6 (of 10) and worked the soloing part.. there is a faster solo I'm starting to work on but here is Muse 

 

 

[Trouble Brewing]

Who gets the guitar solo 🤔🤪

[Playing while wearing hearing aids]

@Archiguitarchi I just listened to the 2 demos on their website.

sounds like a very bright solid state amp. 
maybe don’t use your bridge pickup 

and maybe roll back the guitar tone knobs

most hearing aid places just like clicking on the hearing chart sound chart but that doesn’t necessarily mean you get good quality sound.

you might be hearing highs for the first time in a long time so sounds bright 

or maybe your aids are boosting the highs too much 

Talk to the aid dispenser 

[Members Recordings - Songs, Lessons, Open Mic!]

@dan0725 Hey that sounds pretty good.. 

did you do your own backing track or use an available one?

often thought about trying to add drums to my tracks.

[Spam Attacks!]

what you get to sleep?? 😱.. no way.. 😆

Thanks Steve for all you do .  😍

making the world a better place one guitar at a time.

 

 

[NGD - My "Final" Acquisition - (yeah right)]

Nice @Gary Nelson

when I was a Gruhn’s in October there was a Taylor 424 Master built I really like the sound 

unfortunately it never followed me home 

enjoy

[Members Recordings - Songs, Lessons, Open Mic!]

@dan0725 hey I just grabbed a listen 

sounds pretty good 

as musicians and eventually music producers we make choices as we go along 

“If it was me mixing “ I would pull the orchestra back a tad, thus giving a bit more room for the guitar part. And I’d leave room for the vocals to be more on top of that 

but that’s just my personal choices 

[Effect of heat-treated tops and hide glue construction on guitar sound.]

I’ve heard “regular “ HD28’s which to me sounds better than the standard d28

don't think I’ll ever have a chance of hearing your custom model 

[Near the Cross - Video]

Sounds nice and gentle 

been a while since I worked on a fingerstyle arrangement 

[True - Video]

Sounds pretty good to me. 
 

[Pick up cavity filling]

Black is notorious for showing imperfections 

swirls and buff marks etc

if you used a different color may hid it better

looks like the impression is lower than rest of body.  Might need to raise it up.

but I’m not a woodworker 

[House full of Guitars]

Quite the collection 

[Money]

Without buying the full song you only see page 1

it only has Guitar 1 notes/tabs

without the rest of the song you won’t see what they’re doing with guitar 2

[The Guitar is Hard!]

Knowing theory is head and shoulders above many

having more than 1hr play time is biggie too

I too have a lot of TrueFire courses. I find them only marginally better than the standard YouTube video

the lessons jump around a lot even when it’s a series of the same instructor 

SRV slap rhythm playing is tricky 

I suggest simpler style of playing songs first

[Smokin’ Joe]

far from a gumdrop house on a lollipop lane.

at age 6 he was playing full Jimi Hendrix songs.. 

I've been a huge fan of Joe Bonamassa since 2006.

I've never had a 'band crush' in all my growing up years, but when I heard Joe.. something stirs inside and makes me want to play guitar.

I've been to 10 concerts from 2011-2019.. in 2 different countries, 2 different provinces/states and 7 different cities

I've met him 4 times.. he is a guitar nerd if you get to talk to him

 

he has 28 albums out.. only nominated 5 times and has lost every time..

He does 245 shows a year, mostly 3500-5000 seat theatres.

 He played live at the Grammy's this past weekend (one of the only live performances at the Grammy's) at the non-broadcast at 4pm EST.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[LA Musicians Lose Homes, Studios, Instruments]

Guitar Center has launched a “one time grant” up to $1500 to replace instruments lost in the fires

doesn’t sound like much but at least you can get a low end gig-able instrument to start making money again
