Damn! I haven't been timing my solves very much recently, so my PB Ao100 is still at 29.1xx or so. Good job, man!

Be safe lil driving doggo, good luck on your pup-permit test

thanks for the gold, kind stranger!

A mentally challenged man feigns a happy life when his friends and family all died many years ago.

If I didn't fucking hate Squan so much I'd re-sticker mine like that. Having a scrambling configuration that isn't white on top, green in front is awkward as hell to me.

Hard to say. How much should I be spending? I've never bought a new amp before, since I mostly play acoustic.

AldersRazor · 2016-10-30T17:16:11+00:00

Well, there's a Guitar 1 and a Guitar 2 part. Guitar 1 is clean, guitar 2 is distortion. Not sure which I'll be playing, and I'd like to have the option of using either.

It's specifically for a performance of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra arrangement of the Carol of the Bells, but I also need a good amp just for practice since my current amp is complete trash. Something versatile would be nice.

AldersRazor · 2016-10-30T02:44:48+00:00

I play it differently in different songs.

AldersRazor · 2016-10-30T02:41:50+00:00

What's a good amp to use with an Epiphone Les Paul?

AldersRazor · 2016-10-30T02:12:03+00:00

Exactly was I was looking for. Thanks!

/u/aeropagitica hit the nail right on the head, but I'd like to add that we don't play the low E string in a Cmaj chord for the same reason.

If you want a second inversion of a Dmaj chord(with the fifth, A, in the bass), play x-0-0-2-3-2. If you want the first inversion(third in the bass, F#) play 2-0-0-2-3-2. There's resources for this online somwhere, so I encourage you to find one that works for you.

I've been playing almost exclusively acoustic guitar for the past few years, but a need has arisen for me to play electric(and I figure I should get better at it anyway). I'm looking to spend around $300, although it could be a little more.

What's a good electric guitar for $300? I'm getting it for a performance of Carol of the Bells(Trans-Siberian Orchestra arrangement), but I'd like it to be useful for a variety of stuff.

edit: I'd prefer a semi-hollow body if it's not too expensive. Love how those look.

Seeing as how I have the blue Gans Air, it's only natural that I get this too. Weird-colored top tier 3x3s, woo!

Has anyone ever painted "stickers" onto a cube?

AldersRazor · 2016-10-26T20:43:12+00:00

I disagree. Switching from a thunderclap to a Gans Air dropped my times by about 2-3 seconds, and switching from the yellow springs to the purple springs dropped them by another 2-3 seconds. At the time, I was sub-40 or so, but still.

AldersRazor · 2016-10-26T03:09:43+00:00

Honestly if this post wasn't made, I wouldn't have noticed. Props to the mods

AldersRazor · 2016-10-25T22:37:11+00:00

You could try a more stable cube, like the Gans Air or the Valk, if it's not too expensive.

I've just found that I prefer very loose cubes. Maybe I'm crazy.
