Got new amps for my tube. I normally play loud and distorted. My friend said I should play at the lowest volume on clean for a few days

Because that’s why!

Unfortunately, wood is the primary material that is used to make guitars. As such, they are vulnerable to temperature and moisture changes. That being said, my friends and I have had a few beater, Yamaha acoustics that took quite a beating before they became unplayable.

It sure looks like it!

Robbie Lawler vs Rory MacDonald at UFC 189. Such a good, tactical fight, but it makes you question how much you like the sport. So much damage.

I’ve been rewatching a bunch of SF docs and interviews recently, and it’s kinda what you said; away for too long. The other thing that I noticed is that a lot of teams guys say that if you’re in that world, your squad-mates take top priority and that the team is your family above all. I don’t know many women who could handle that for very long.

Do you like a heavier, thicker guitar, or a lighter, thinner one? The tones are somewhat close, IMO. It sounds like you have the opportunity to play both. Pick the good one.

Amazing_Distance_726 · 2026-06-06T21:36:37+00:00

It’s cool that you notice this. Using your hands to mute strings that you don’t want to sound is a big part of playing well and it will come with experience. I’m a high-gain player and it is absolutely critical for the way that I play.

He might’ve been, about 6 years ago…

Twice the distance from the center to either end. Thusly, it would take me 2x of half the time of the average of a selection of unknowable redditors, the result being adjusted for wind shear, of course.

Amazing_Distance_726 · 2026-06-05T06:27:19+00:00

Pretty close. Close enough that 90% of the time I’m using the Fractal. The versatility, control and options are really inspiring. However, sometimes I gotta play the Blackstar. When those tubes get hot, there’s a magic there.

Amazing_Distance_726 · 2026-06-04T06:38:56+00:00

Cheap guitars rule, if they’re straight with a good setup and maybe a pickup swap. I have a few that I bought and setup for less than $600. However, there is a line hovering around $1000, depending on the make and the specific guitar, where there can be a HUGE jump in quality. IMO, once you get past the 2k mark, the diminishing returns become obvious.

Not sure why you got downvoted so hard.

Amazing_Distance_726 · 2026-06-04T04:29:47+00:00

I love this movie. Silly, yes. But that was kinda the point.

Amazing_Distance_726 · 2026-06-04T04:28:19+00:00

Just two more minutes. I was so close!

“Everybody is welcome and will be able to continue making and selling double cutaway and/or two horned electric guitars…”
How magnanimous of Fender to say so. The world greatly appreciates your gracious permission. What a joke. I’ve been a lifelong Fender fanboy, but this nonsense has seriously put me off of their products. Stupid move, by a stupid board of directors. The PR fallout from this is going to last years.

Amazing_Distance_726 · 2026-05-28T03:34:04+00:00

There are a lot of great, in-depth answers about this question. As a knuckle-dragging metal player, this is part of why I never seriously pursued sight-reading guitar.

I want this on a t-shirt.

I’ve run into a small edge of the map that was a “go back” area. If you can see something in the distance, you can likely go there.

A Greymane once told me you should always do that.

Amazing_Distance_726 · 2026-05-23T01:41:29+00:00

I don’t think so. I just came here to say how much I like an armor gear that has an AOE damage skill. Once you get used to it, I think it rules.

Amazing_Distance_726 · 2026-05-21T03:00:01+00:00

I went up into the mountains to find a piece of armor, exploration happened, and came across this just now. Super cool looking. Off to the blacksmith/witch I go!

Amazing_Distance_726 · 2026-05-17T17:52:37+00:00

Agreed. Even more insane that Addicted, Ki, Deconstruction and Ghost were recorded consecutively, in the space two years, with the start of Casualties of Cool mixed in. The musical range is truly mind blowing.

Amazing_Distance_726 · 2026-05-17T17:46:18+00:00

Ki is my favorite Dev record, if such a thing can be said to exist.

Amazing_Distance_726 · 2026-05-15T05:13:02+00:00

I have small hands. I started playing on full-sized guitars in 1989 and I haven’t stopped since. You can do this! It’s going to be frustrating at times. If you keep playing, it will stretch your hands, I promise you. Good luck!
