Was on a roll with my playing..staying up late etc
Had a plan to play for hours over the coming days but.....
I had to go and place my middle finger tip on the hot iron ...hopefully it'll be ok in a day.
Anyone else done something so stupid before playing?
Hi guys
I can't find many tabs for this version...anyone able to tab out the chords Billy is using here?. I think I can make a few out?. Billy usually detunes his guitars.
Any help us appreciated.
I have (and recommend) a Taylor Academy 12e. I mainly play electrics but wanted a decent..yet not too expensive acoustic to play on. The sound and easy of the set up out the box was amazing...it also comes in a lovely padded gig bag too.
My 1st acoustic was a Cort. Lovely guitar..set up well and...
New song idea I've been working on. Using my trusty old Fenix strat (my 1st guitar I've kept since i was around 16 yrs old). Using a Line6 Helix ...recorded with my mobile.
I think this shows the potential for us home players that there's a wealth of decent sounds available these days with the...
Just a quick video of my Fenix strat. Playing through a new ambient patch I'm making on my Helix. This guitar is about 30 yrs old now and still my favourite.
I use a double edge razor. You get a few cuts to start with but quickly get used to it. There are a lot of different brands of blade...all trial and error as everyone's skin reacts differently. Using shaving soap and a brush also makes for a more comfortable shave.
Using a mirror and also a hand...
I still love my first guitar, now about 27 years old..it's a Fenix strat ( by Young Chang). It sounds and plays great. Comparable to a Classic vibe. It also screams Smashing Pumpkins songs all day.
Anyone else own a Fenix strat?
Hi. I can relate to this situation. I have 2 young kids. I used to be able to practice anytime etc...but now ( and since each was born) i practice pretty much at night. Mostly with an electric unplugged...but also i bought a Helix and use headphones. I'm a bit of an owl and often stay up to...
I still have, and use my 1st guitar. A Fenix strat. It sounds great and feels as good as a classic vibe. I have a few Fenders now but always go back to this guitar. Its now about 26 years old.
I admire the virtuosos playing ability but i think having that amount of theory applied to playing seems to box them in creatively. I just can't get into playing that has no rhythm or feeling behind it. It's often simple playing and experimenting sonically that i find more interesting.
I use the big helix floor unit. Amazing piece of kit. I used to use a hd500x and thought that was good.
I'm a home player so the helix can give me 100s of amp/cab and pedal options i could never have had.
Multi effects have come a long way.
Whatever your stance is on U2s The Edge ( he happens to he a hero of mine) his dedication to sonics is amazing. A long video but lots of info here. I don't shred myself (but appreciate the skill). I just wish all Edge haters wouldn't judge on speed and virtuoso. So called simple playing requires...
I'm a huge Billy/pumpkins fan. Always appreciate his style and vision. Great player and total badass on guitar. Very under rated. Ive seen them when they come here to London a few times...always great live.
I've had one for a while. Great guitar...pickups are quite hot...nothing crazy but hotter than regular single coils. Guitar is well made..neck is slim and feels great.
Here's a new tune I've been working on....recorded on my mobile so sound not 100% accurate. Been tweaking my Line6 Helix.
Any comments or thoughts welcome
