    What's a good "Valley Arts" (Lukather/Landau/Huff) type guitar for a working musician?

    I honestly don't have experience with VA so can't tell, but from your description I'd personally look into used Japanese Tyler's and even the Suhr Classic S line.

    What guitars would you consider to be the absolute best value for any price range?

    Honestly, RG350's (especially '89-'91) are probably my number 1 choice when it comes to versatility and best-bang-for-buck quality.

    Has streaming ruined "the album"?

    To be fair this sounds like a very rare/luxurious position to be in as a starting band though haha! I know back in the days, we used to opt for a cover song/crowd pleaser or 2 in case the set wouldn't do. But it was also a matter of being level-headed and maybe giving more space to the other...

    Has streaming ruined "the album"?

    I think the album in its classical form (f.e. compact disc with 8-13 tracks) made a lot of sense in the 80s/90s/2000s as it solved the logistical problem of delivering music to the consumer. The downsides of it were that artist/producer would of course try to cram as much content as they...

    Some guitars are too funny not to post

    I feel like someone might've found the drawings I made as a 10 year old

    I'm going to be honest, read the title and thought this was a spam bot.

    The 7-string guitar completely replaces the 6-string guitar ?

    I've played 7- & 8-string guitars for well over a decade and a while ago after a I had a musical break, I kind of realised that the music I like to play and listen to is perfectly (and more ergonomically) achievable on a 6-string just by tuning down. Honestly haven't touched my 7's & 8's for a...

    Talk me out of the Dimarzio D-Activators before I open the box?

    D-Activators are fine for what you're looking. You can get most high-output PU's to sound the same anyway depending on how far your crank open the compressor in the beginning of your chain.

    Automating other instruments

    Had our first band practice with this setup recently, the remarks I have for now: - The Shure PSM300 & GLXD4R+ are an amazing combination. I haven't experienced any dropouts at all whether it's on guitar or IEM's, so I'd definitely recommend these in your setup. Latency is also practically...

    Is anyone else hitting that age where they're just not up on/don't care about music like they used to be?

    The current musical project I'm involved in is actually a deathcore "throwback" to put it that way. I (personally) feel like a lot of modern deathcore is straying away from melody and other classical tropes, and everyone is just trying to sound as dissonant/inhumane/"heavy" as possible. It's...

    Long delayed NGD(s)

    Acquired the Classic S Paulownia on the right in August, and have been completely converted to Suhr since then. My EBMM's & PRS' barely got any play time and since I've been switching between bands (Standard Tuning <> Drop A), I wanted to have some backup. The pickups are a bit too low output...

    Need Help! programming Midi bass/Midi Guitar!!

    I personally prefer to write everything MIDI in Guitar Pro (and guitars as well for "archival") , and afterward import that into Reaper and fine-tune wherever necessary. I feel like I have a better overview of what's going on in Guitar Pro, and this way I also have tabs available should I forget...

    New Rob Arnold Metal Album Sounds Heavy

    Oof, like the style of the album but really hate the guitar tone he settled for here. Sounds really frail & thin for 2023 standards. Hope it's just a preview and not the actual release versions yet.

    such a thing as Digital gear acquisition syndrome...

    I've always been really bummed out about a lot of old of my Guitar Pro files just rotting away in my cloud storage, but I bought the Odin II plugin recently as a guitar VST and I'm absolutely thrilled. This thing has sped up my pre-production process by so much, unreal. I just combine it with...

    I've tried a lot of guitar picks and I can't find one I'm 100% happy with...

    Been using Dava Grip Tips & Master Control for over a decade and honestly never looked back. Try some other ones once in a while but nothing really compares.

    Automating other instruments

    Hey everyone, So I've been thinking about this concept for a while now and I've pretty much figured out how I want to proceed for now in terms of setup. I'm highly likely going to retire the Axe FX III for now, and I'm going to use the Neural DSP VST's in combination with Reaper for my own...

    How do you guys like (or not) the Caparison single coil sized humbucker?

    Currently own this beauty, specced with the stock PUs (PH-bc in bridge and SH-27F in neck). The bridge is great, very clear and articulate and appropriate for anything rock/metal. The neck PU is fine, but very "rounded off" as opposed to some other neck PUs in the sense that it's great for leads...
