    Where do you put the stuff in your pockets lol

    Alright dumb question but after countless amounts of shows I still don’t know the best place to put the stuff in my pockets. I don’t feel comfortable putting my wallet/phone etc. in my guitar case because the case itself could get stolen or accidentally taken while you’re playing(probably an...

    Is there a ‘show us your V’ thread somewhere?

    Search function doesn’t work for finding flying Vs because ‘V’ isn’t a long enough word, just looking for pics of 6 strings to get ideas for a custom build. PS probably not a sentence that should be asked in public

    What would you do in this situation?(ordered a bass with a deposit down and now don’t want it)

    Ordered an Ibanez Mikro 5 string through Long and McQuade because there was none available at all in my province(possibly even Canada?) and then found a much better short scale 5 string(also Ibanez) locally while waiting for it to show up. The bass finally came in and I don’t want it anymore...

    2010 Gibson V pickup died out of nowhere, comparable options?

    I just recorded with the guitar last month and used it on a daily basis for the last 3 - 4 months, a couple weeks ago I picked it up and absolutely no sound from the bridge pickup. Tech says it’s completely dead(took it out of the body and the meter reads 0) and he has no idea how that would’ve...

    Side markers for live gigs in low light/low visibility?

    I played a Halloween show this year wearing zombie contact lenses(I’ve never worn contact lenses in my life), so I had about 50% vision with pretty low stage lighting and needless to say it was rough. When I saw Behemoth in 2008 they had massive green side markers on their guitars, I don’t...

    Help identifying the effects/pedals used in these songs(70s rock)

    Just trying to figure out what Roky and co used on these songs, especially at the guitar only beginning of this one: And the lead at 0:34 on this one: Sounds like a mix between flanger and tremolo maybe but I’m not well experienced with effects pedals. Can anyone pick out anything else or...

    Feeling completely stuck ability wise

    I've been playing for 20 years but haven't made any progression in 10 at least, especially when it comes to soloing(and I still only know about one scale). I bought an advanced guitar book and absolutely sucked at it. I'm considering starting at 'beginner' level lesson stuff and slowly moving up...

    Looking for a decent cheap-ish pink guitar

    My cousin(who is spoiled to say the least) wants my aunt to buy her a new guitar with basically the only stipulation being that it's pink, she's looking at $1000 dollar Jacksons and PRS's locally which I said is nuts(she basically strums chords and sings). With that said I can't think of too...

    String bending etiquette?(D string)

    I know you're always supposed to bend the high strings upwards, the low E and A probably not so much as you'll push them off the fretboard, but what's a good habit to build for the D string? It seems like it can go pretty far in either direction and I'm never really sure which way I should go...

    New guitar, new bone nut, tuning issues

    Not sure if I'm posting in the right section but anyway.. I just bought a new Jared James Nichols 'Old Glory' Epiphone LP last week. I got the tech to put on a bone nut and set it up for C standard with 12-54s before even picking it up. Everything is good except for the G string which...

    How to get a good doom tone(Sabbath, Church of Misery, etc)

    I know this has probably been asked 10,000 times but I'm not sure where to look. I've been using a Boss Metal Zone straight into a 70s Sound City 120 watt tube head for the past decade(yes I know...not doing justice to this head at all) and I want to branch out AKA ditch this pedal. I love the...

    Help with modding my SG Melody Maker

    Hi all, I haven't picked up a guitar much in years due to an injury, but starting to get back to it more. Years ago I got a Duncan Destroyer put in my SG MM and changed the knob out for a chrome one. I would like to change the bridge and tuners next(which are stock). What is recommended to...

    Online lessons for intermediate players?

    I've been playing for 17 years but probably stopped progressing in skill/knowledge about 10 years ago and have always just learned everything by ear... I can tell you what a 4th or 5th is, all the major/minor chords/keys and the minor pentatonic scale and that's about it... are there any good...

    Old ESP board

    Feeling nostalgic and melancholic about the old ESP forum, especially the EZ board days... Unreal's half or non-coherent posts, Lucky's constant procrastinating, GFunks awesome MHs, giving noobie posters a hard time, and thinking that SYL, LoG and Rammstein were the best bands ever. Any of you...

    Another picking technique question

    I've had a really rough go with tendinitis since May of this year(did a month long tour with it which did not help AT ALL obviously). I am only now getting back into playing somewhat regularly. I'm trying to change technique as much as possible(playing in classical sitting position now with...
