I got tired of actively searching for new music when I got the impression that all I get are results that the algorithm deems "relevant", it does not serve me the "fresh and exciting" type of results. Then I changed my approach, I looked for online radios of the recent and indie type, not the...
I only play guitars with a HH setup except for a Steinberger that has HSH. The usage is pretty straight forward, bridge pickup for everything distorted, neck pickup for all other sounds be it clean ones or with effects. For me it mostly depends on whether I need a beefy, bassy and articulate...
As the others already said: Many of us have been there. I am actually in such a phase where I do not record anything and seldom pick up my guitar. But I enjoy new hobbies like cycling, longboarding and even archery. Before I decided to try more new hobbies apart from music I came to different...
From what I perceive the situation in Hamburg, Germany is somewhat similar. Sure, there are enough international stars that play arenas and huge venues, but for everyone else it has gotten tougher IMHO. Inflation and gas prices are playing their role as well. Just lately a band from St...
I am mad because I am trying hard to make a band I am playing in sound at least somewhat more interesting, to surprise our listeners for a change. I even quit the guitar(in this band) for this purpose and first went for the drums(when the drummer quit), then for a drum machine and a synth and I...
I am just going to leave this here: my former girlfriends who watched me perform in the somewhat heavier bands I played in actually liked when I played fast, especially solos. But maybe that is what I like about niche genres, whoever gets into them does seldom care about their hobby's impact on...
bump The auction will be over in less than 24 hours. I had some requests from EU-countries, the shipping would cost around 32,- EUR. I'm willing to sell it woldwide, as long as the buyer pays all transport cost, VAT and the like.
Thanks! Much appreciated! Maybe I can improve the heavier parts, I guess I'll still have much to read about heavy guitars/bass/drum and how to treat them, but this forum has been really helpful with that. :)
Hi! It's the first time I'm posting one of my tracks. We took off with a friend who plays the violin and some of the drums for this track to see where we could go and that is what came out this time: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/23248584/coming%20home%20late%20v2.3.2.mp3 interface: alesis io 26...
So much good stuff here, thanks for sharing :) Especially I enjoyed Ivo Papazov's band and the finger style guitarists of course. When I'm listening to metal these days it sounds boring mostly(with some exceptions), even a so called prog/tech metal-concert lately felt like the same band playing...
Congrats on the 1527! I have exactly the same guitar and I must say IMHO the prestige-neck feels and plays even better than the wizard II-7. In Europe they had 2 editions of that guitar, you have the old edition, the actual edition is the 1527RB (royal blue) and the cost is about 800 EUR. ;)
Hi @all! I'm new to this site. I have been visiting ss.org now and then for years, but now I'm more often here and decided to register. After playing some years with "periferija" from Hamburg(I know, that's Russian for "periphery" and I even discovered 2 more "peripheries" in Siberia and...
