    Covid 19/Coronavirus

    I was going to write a snarky retort but had the presence of mind to look it up. Apparently you don't have these in Quebec: https://www.supermarketnews.com/online-retail/real-canadian-superstore-expands-grocery-home-delivery

    Covid 19/Coronavirus

    My girlfriend lives in Seattle and while she's been OK so far, the company she works for has been a zoo lately with regards to customers and management. I was supposed to go down for a visit this weekend but we've decided that I shouldn't--I'm expecting the border situation in Canada to tighten...

    How to Make Amp Sims Sound Better

    Yeah you definitely have some sort of built-in IR or cab sim in there, otherwise it would sound a bazillion times worse. I don't think the tone you've shared is a bad starting point. But a great amp sim guitar tone starts with the cab sim or IR that gets to closest to the tone that you're...

    Would You Buy The Same Guitar Model Twice?

    If I had the disposable income I would buy a second Charvel 650XL. I almost did once in fact but it was out of my price range and the seller wouldn't budge.

    Amp solution for practicing in car

    I like my little Boss Katana lunchbox. It's battery-powered and has a killer bedroom hero tone. When I was practicing in my car every day I use the Positive Grid JamUp app with an iRig and a pair of earbuds. Worked fine and the footprint was tiny.

    Dealing with writers block

    I meditate. I'll dim the lights, sit upright and close my eyes and just visualize myself putting on the record and imagining what kinds of sounds come out. I found this especially useful for finishing half-written ideas that I'm getting stuck on. Something about separating myself from the...

    Best user freindly, realistic orchestral VST UNDER $200

    After doing some more digging (thanks for the tip on Labs, btw, I'm hooked!) I also found that Spitfire does some very budget-friendly strings + brass/woods VSTS for $30 each. They are more limited than SoniVox (no individual instrument sections) but the sound quality of their ensembles is...

    Gimme some good tunes with heavy trem (Floyd, not Leslie speaker) use.

    Oh and for newer material, Mr. Fastfinger/Mika Tyyska has some delightful trem accents. He uses a vintage style trem.

    Tips for playing this b*tch?

    If it's the string changes that are killing you, chances are the angle of your pickstrokes are leaving you trapped between the strings when you need to change, with leads to erratic movements without any sense of efficiency. This might seem a little nutty, but if you've been trying (and...

    need advice on soloing over chords/chord progression/making music.

    This question is so open-ended that it's a little hard to give you a straight answer. There are loads of variations on a "C chord" and the scales you'd want to pick your notes from will vary depending on the specific type of C chord you're playing, not to mention it's context within the overall...
