- Sunny War Finds Magic in Broken Guitars and Wicked Humorby Tzvi Gluckin on March 23, 2023 at 7:16 pm
Sunny War cannot resist a great pawnshop find—even if the guitar’s not any good. “There’s always some pawnshop, and you think, ‘That’s an unbelievable deal,’” explains the guitarist and singer-songwriter. “But then the thing is kind of broken, and you think, ‘That’s nothing, that can be fixed.’ But it can’t be fixed, and in the end, you’re just adding to your collection of broken guitars.” Although the point, she stresses, is that each guitar, at least in theory, […]

- [GEAR] [QUESTION] Yamaha Steinberg UR22 Mk1 interface not recognised by Logic Pro Xby /u/exhale_expel on March 23, 2023 at 9:01 pm
Hi folks. I have Logic Pro X installed on a very new iMac, I have tried to install the driver for an old Steinberg UR22 usb interface however I am getting a flashing USB light on the interface, signalling there is a communication issue between the two devices. As the interface is equipped with USB 2.0 output and I only have a USB 2 to USB cable, I am having to use a USB to USB-C adapter (no regular USB ports on the new iMacs). Can anyone provide any ideas, thoughts or advice? I’ve been out of recording too long because of this stupid problem 😭 submitted by /u/exhale_expel [link] [comments]
- [QUESTION] Ear training for Improvisation Methods and Timescale?by /u/throwaway292737 on March 23, 2023 at 8:35 pm
Hi – I’ve been playing casually for about 6 years, however aim to take it more seriously in the near future. Physically, I can play guitar. I don’t struggle with chords, scales and can pull of reasonably fast licks, really good at finger style. I really dig the improvisation in classic rock of the Zep, Hendrix and Eddie Hazel. But that I just can’t pull off. I Guess more core musicality is what I don’t have. Anyway, I’ve identified that what I think I should work on is ear training. That’s at least how Jazz Improvisers do it. Train their ears then they Basically sing through the guitar. I also heard Clapton say that’s what he does. What are the best methods for developing this? Also, I know it “takes a lifetime” to master, but to become pretty darn good at it obviously doesn’t since it’s not uncommon for people in their early twenties or younger to get there – how long would it take to become decent at jamming? If I was able to focus on it since I don’t physically need to train as much and already have a decent grasp of theory, and used the best methods to train my ear even if it means vocalising 😭. submitted by /u/throwaway292737 [link] [comments]
- [QUESTION] How do you play vibrato with only the index finger without getting unwanted noise from the other strings?by /u/EggBender93 on March 23, 2023 at 7:29 pm
So I’m having trouble playing vibrato with only the index finger, without getting unwanted noise from the other strings. It’s much easier doing vibrato with at least two fingers, because then I can use the index mainly to mute the unplayed strings. But when the index finger is doing all the work to bend the string, it’s hard to also use it to mute the unplayed strings. I get like a scratching noise because the index is rubbing against the other strings when it’s trying to mute them and doing the vibrato at the same time. How do you solve this? I tried to explain the best I could and hope you get what i mean. In case you wonder, I’m playing electric with distortion. Thanks! submitted by /u/EggBender93 [link] [comments]
- [QUESTION] Can’t seem to bend the high E string past the 20th fretby /u/HiMyNaemDia on March 23, 2023 at 7:05 pm
Hiya, I recently got a really nice Floyd rose guitar (Warlock) as an early birthday present. It plays and sounds amazing but I’ve noticed I can’t really seem to bend the high e string past the 20th fret. 20th fret bends fine but after that it just kinda loses sound the higher I try to bend. Could this have to do with the fact that my first 3 strings are heavier gauge strings than the last 3? I got that as a tip since I have it tuned down to Drop B so I can play heavier and still nail solos as well. I can’t imagine it really affecting the neck or the bends but who knows haha. I’ve got D’addario XL (light top/heavy bottom) strings on it right now. Or is it just harder to get those bends on FR? This is my first FR guitar so I don’t have a lot of experience with it. Thanks in advance submitted by /u/HiMyNaemDia [link] [comments]
- [QUESTION] Do you use your compressor pedal before or after your overdrive/fuzz?by /u/lightbulb-punk on March 23, 2023 at 5:26 pm
My instinct tells me to put the compressor first, but when I do, having the compressor and the overdrive on at the same time makes there be a lot of amplified noise in my signal. Not sure if i’m using it in the right order, or what settings I should have on my compressor for the best sound? submitted by /u/lightbulb-punk [link] [comments]
- [QUESTION] Wiring diagram for HHH guitar layout?by /u/pcthrowaway42 on March 23, 2023 at 4:55 pm
I am modding a guitar to have three humbuckers, but I haven’t been able to find any wiring diagrams that fit exactly what I’ve been envisioning – not sure if anyone has any thoughts or if I should just mess around and see what works. I’ve got 1 push-pull volume, 1 push-pull tone, and a 3-way switch. I’m thinking about wiring it so that the middle pickup can be turned on with one of the push-pulls and all humbuckers can be coil-split with the other to get the following: P1: N P2: N + B P3: B With the middle push-pull engaged: P1: N + M P2: N + M + B P3: M + B I am aware that this layout wouldn’t allow for the middle pickup to be on its own, but I’m good with that. I’ve already got the 3-way switch on hand, so I’d prefer that over a 5-way, anyway. Does anyone have any diagram or something that would work for this idea? Thanks in advance! submitted by /u/pcthrowaway42 [link] [comments]
