    Pet Peeves/Irritants/Agitations

    To make matters worse, “that guy” always showcases his talent of unzipping his asshole all the way to the elbow. Maybe their bowels just can’t move without an audience?

But because it’s guitar-related, someone...

    My Satriani Collection

    If the last photo had been all the guitars displayed proudly at the bottom of the pond, this would have been the best thread in SSO history.

    Ear Training

    If you want to improve your ear, replace the SSO habit with ear training. If, in a few months, you are either satisfied or dissatisfied with your progress, check your logged ear training hours against the logged SSO hours. It will reflect your feelings. This can also be applied to improvements...

    Ear Training

    You can browse SSO or be a better musician. But a day can’t accommodate both.

    Clangy sound, action too low?

    It’s dependent upon the player and their recognizing how to achieve it: Level frets, zero relief, minimal fret clearance at the nut, sufficient string tension, and light touch will get you the lowest action possible, regardless of brand*. Ultimately, the radius of the fret tops only dictates how...

    Isn't this a bulb ripoff?

    IMO just buy some BKPs. You won’t regret it.

    Why are you mad right now?

    We need to break down the barriers, banish stigma and discrimination, and ensure total inclusiveness in the struggle against AIDS.

    Abasi Concepts/Larada Megathread

    I think the official story is that all the NAMM guitars were Grover’s, but all less-than-perfect guitars were Frank’s; therefore all the NAMM guitars were Frank’s, but the NAMM guitars showed that Grover’s will be worth the extra wait, with the exception of whichever of the first delivered batch...
