    Why does my drop C guitar sound the best?

    Might be your ear, might be how the amps are EQed, might be your strings, etc. It's worth noting that when you use strings that are 'skinny' for your intended tuning (i.e. 10-46 for drop C) they tend to sound crunchier and more aggressive because you're getting more overtones and less of the...

    Do you have trouble switching between 6's and 7's?

    In my experience it's like riding a bicycle and after a few minutes (maybe hours) of playing you should feel pretty natural on either. It does help to have a mixed stable though, and to avoid practicing exclusively on one type of guitar for an extended period of time.

    GoPro Hero4 black - who's used it for recording live gigs or music videos?

    We've used my drummer's GoPro to record shows and while the footage looks pretty good I'd say the built-in mic is not. Makes the drums sound super boomy and has difficulty picking up the guitar. Judge for yourself.

    Advice requested

    There's nothing wrong with giving it a shot and calling it quits if the workload is too much for you. Give it a shot and if it doesn't work out, you'll regret it less than sitting idly by.

    High Pitch Harsh Vocal Practice

    The way the vocalist in my band describes it is that he just yells in a Marge Simpson voice. The way your voice builds into the screech sounds like you're forcing air through using your throat instead of diaphragm. Also worth noting is that simply because your voice can reach a certain pitch...

    Avatar: The Legend of Korra (Nickelodeon's Avatar Sequel series)

    Loved the ending to Book 3. Very brutal and the deus ex machina levels were kept within acceptable limits. Lots of setup for Book 4 both on the story and character fronts, something that the previous season was lacking in my opinion.

    Gundam thread

    Really big fan of the original Mobile Suit Gundam series (if you haven't yet you should really check out the hardcover comics that cover the original MSG story, very good). I liked Zeta as well and after that I've fallen into a love/hate relationship with the franchise. Gundam Wing started off...

    False. I hate very few people to begin with. TNP uses their smartphone on the john.

    True or False?

    False? Aesthetically any string count above eight doesn't do it for me so I don't see myself going "I'd really buy that if it had less strings" because by then the whole guitar looks weird. TNP thinks that wearing beanies in sunny weather is cool.
