    Wilkinson Tremolo; What's the Dang Difference?

    Hey guys, I need to assemble the guitar pros (you, reading this) to help me answer a question. What are the differences between the Wilkinson Tremolo units? I have a Harley Benton that I love. And I kind of want another one to dip my fingers into. This is the one that I have...

    Who was your favorite Necrophagist lead player? READY! FIGHT!

    I woke up and chose violence today. Christian and Muhammad are both titans of shreddy playing, but within Necrophagist, who had the sicker playing. I don't wanna hear none of this "tHeY wEre BoTh GoOd N tHeir OwN wAy" nonsense because we all know that already. I want you to pick between your...

    NGD: That’s a lot of 7s for a 6

    So, this was a very expensive impulse buy/“treat yoself” purchase for me landing a new job this year. What should have been a really short time in transit from California took one week because UPS didn’t deliver it when/where they said they did. Somehow. Despite insurance and it needing a...

    The Feathered Serpent (prog metal)

    Hi everyone! The planets have aligned and finally gave me some time to create new music, so here’s a new proggy instrumental: If anyone cares, I used Kemper GGD profiles for rhythm and lead guitars. Cheers!

    NGD: Ibanez PGM301 2004

    NGD: Ibanez PGM301 2004 Got this on eBay for £640. It seemed like a good price for a relatively good nick 2004 PGM301. I remember playing one about 15 years ago or so in a store, and it blew my mind. It got me hooked on Ibanez (which is ironic, since I've sold most of my Ibanez guitars!). I...

    New Archspire anyone?

    Surprised no one is talking about this. This album is pretty damned good. I'd highly recommend it to anyone who's into the whole tech death thing. It's going to be a hard album to top for sure.

    NGD - Markline Custom 7 String Baritone Multiscale

    Received the best guitar I have ever held and played in my life, the Markline Custom 7 Baritone Multiscale, coming all the way from Italy. It has been an absolute joy to work with Marco, the luthier and artist. He is an absolute master at his craft and is definitely one of the best in the world...

    90% vs 100%

    I've heard Petrucci, Richardson, and Vai all explicitly mention the amount of effort it requires to get to the level of polish they achieve in their live playing, and how much continual effort it takes to maintain a particular fast passage at the correct tempo. I have been working at some fast...

    Profanity (Tech Death from Germany)

    Thought these dudes deserve some love. They're super talented musicians but also very polite and down to earth. I'll always admire people within the metal community that still show so much enthusiasm for their music but also appreciate their fans. It's not often I come across a band who plays...

    Synthy metal grooves

    Made some new music. Going back into a more synthy direction versus my older orchestral one. Feels at home. Trying to stay interesting with the leads since there's no vocals. Gonna have to find a good vocalist again. Tried out that vizzy.io visualization creation tool. It's pretty cool. Makes...

    Pokemon Lance/Red Theme Cover in the style of Mick Gordon (Doom 2016)

    I made this cover with a friend, I hope you all dig it! I had a lot of fun trying to recreate the instruments and mood of the Doom game. I used Neural DSP Omega and Nolly for guitars, Euro bass II for the bass (Duh), and Get Good Drums Invasion Kit for the drums.

    Favorite Cacophony/Marty Friedman/Jason Becker songs?

    Lately i have been listening to the greatest duo of shreders (in my opinion obviously, no offense to racer x or Tom Quayle and Martin Miller) Marty Friedman and Jason Becker, i was amazed by the things they made at that age in their early career (and nowadays too), so many great songs and ideas...

    I recorded a Lizzo Shred Medley

    I hope everyone is doing well today! I arranged and recorded this medley over the course of a few months and wanted to share it with everyone! I used Neural DSP Archetype Nolly and GGD Studio Cabs for the guitars, Eurobass II for Bass, and the Invasion Kit for drums. I'd love to know you all think!

    NAD: EVH 5150 6L6 50 watt

    I got this beast a couple of weeks ago. Brought it used along with the matching 2x12 cabinet, and it just sounds awesome. The rig is about 5 years old, but I don't think the previous owner played it that much, because it still sounds full with plenty of high end. I have been going through a...

    Jackson USA Chris Broderick 7 string jam

    Something I put together a couple nights ago just jamming some riffs then ended up coming up with a solo. Let the tape run and picked the best/least awful take. Got some Marty vibes in there mainly using Hungarian gypsy minor then some substituted arpeggios in the middle section. Let me know...
