When I was a kid (oh shit, that means I'm old now) skateboarding was right up there with music and guitar in terms of love. I skated less and less as I got older, and haven't at all for the last 5 or so years. Flash cut to a month ago, my 19 month old son saw my skateboard in the garage and...
Whenever seasons change, I find myself going back to specific albums. Sometimes its because I feel the music that echoes the mood of the coming weather and atmosphere. Other times its because a record has a memory or experience associated with it. I might be the only dingus who does this. BUT if...
Hi all,
I have some experience soldering and handling simple pickup installations. However, I am not a natural visio-spatial thinker, and wiring diagrams tend to confuse the hell out of me. As soon as its more complex than a single humbucker and a volume pot, I really struggle with mapping out...
Okay I've googled this like crazy and cant seem to find what I need, so I thought i would turn to you all to see if there are any Helix Native users who could help me (Admins/Mods - let me know if this is the right section for this, or if it would be better placed elsewhere)

Every year seems to fly by fast as hell, and it can be easy to lose track of the things you pursued and/or accomplished. It can also be a little isolating when you are not sure how or where you can share these points of pride with other people.

A little while ago I picked up one of the early 2000s reissue Kramers for dirt cheap. I think its an FR424. I fell in love with Locking Trems over the last year or so, and thought this would be a nice way to pick up a second guitar that I could keep in an alternate tuning.
I brought it to my...
I think what these bands (Car Bomb in particular) are doing with music is so interesting. However, when listening I find myself feeling off-kilter and uneasy - almost a seasick-esque feeling. So much of my enjoyment from music comes from the emotional reaction it evokes, so the discomfort I...
Well, my first 8 string is the result of a few too many beers and a seemingly throw away bid on the electronic bay... that ended up winning. I was a little nervous about what would arrive as the pictures were poor, the description was lacking and the auction title was some absurd click bait like...
(Preface: Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to make sure I gave as much info as might be needed to be helpful)
I am very excited to have just purchased a new PC! I've been using an old laptop to record and mix for a long time, so this is going to be a huge leap forward for me. Excited to...
I have been rocking my trusty Mbox 2 for a good 13 years now. Yikes that's actually kind of scary to type... I know there are so many different options out there for audio interfaces now, and I am considering upgrading. That being said, I genuinely don't know what I would gain by doing so? I am...
