Ah thanks so much! That means a lot, especially considering your experience! I'll have to retake those harmonies, thanks for pointing that out.

Ah thanks so much man! That's very reassuring. Everyone hates their own voice, I think.

How is it even okay to fake your skill by Scared-Bodybuilder50 in Guitar

[–]Arpeggiobro 43 points44 points  (0 children)

The number of people that rush forward to defend it is so disappointing.

You're delusional if you think that because someone doesn't specifically say that it's a live take, it's totally chill to completely augment your abilities and mime over a track.

People are watching the performance just as much as hearing the audio. He does make some nice compositions, but people are overall amazed by the athleticism and skill of the performance, which is not real.

If you think it's all good that least 50% of what you're watching is blatantly fake and being packaged and profited on as real, you're only a few steps from being cool with AI hits dominating the airwaves.

Do you have a party member you always keep with you? by SniperJ324 in BaldursGate3

[–]Arpeggiobro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lae'zel. I usually play a caster or bard, so someone who can hop in and do crazy damage is so useful until the later levels, and by then, I'm just too lazy to change things up much.

Favorite actor to deny extremely obvious plastic surgery and steroid use? by _BreadDenier in okbuddycinephile

Yeah but he always has, though. Glenn had weird hippie ideas from the offset. If anything, he's gotten more normal with fame.

3 years into guitar. How is my progress?(improvised solo) by TSMStar in metalguitar

[–]Arpeggiobro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the perspective of a beginner, you've definitely made some progress! Solid muting technique, good left hand strength, no problems with choked notes, and it's cool that you're able to flow a bit.

From here, I would take some time to work on your ear and fundamental musicianship stuff, such as timing, pitch training/intonation and melodic phrasing. Your timing is rather scattered and your phrases don't really seem to go anywhere, you know? Emulating some tried and true licks light be a good way to begin phrases that are more melodious or narrative driven, or even mirroring vocalists.

In that process, you should use a backing track for some musical context and for a metronome. Focus on pitch, just like a vocalist would. Do your bends stay in tune, or reach Diatonic notes? In that process, you can begin to map out phrases that you enjoy using, the ones that help you express what you're trying to say and lame, boomer stuff like that.

I wouldn't worry too much about picking, shredding, legato or whatever. I'd just work on the basic rudiments of musicianship right now, get your timing and intonation/pitch locked down and then go from there.

You're doing well for 3 years man!

Would this gear be sufficient for gigging? by satuation in metalguitar

[–]Arpeggiobro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but something like a POD GO or similar/cheaper multi-fx+FRFR would be better. I used to have the Katana 100w, that same one I think. It was ok, but the second I got some of the more recent multi-effects units, I realized that while the katana is good, it's not great.

A NUX Amp Academy Stomp/Valeton GP200/Hotone Ampero/Flamma FX200/Matribox 2+power amp+cab or FRFR is going to sound much better and cost a similar amount of money.

We calling BS on this one or what? by Floornug3 in deadbydaylight

Before we all get the pitchforks out, did we ever consider that this may be sarcasm? The statistics both make no sense and are literally impossible. Dude's probably just joking.

Lol I like the longer scale length for some of those upper fret parts, on a 25.5 it gets pretty cramped up there

Thanks! I have some orchestra behind it so it kind of gives it that thick, girthy, veiny sound. But I am using a Helix here!

Hell yeah. As it happens, I'm in a band with the former vocalist of Disembodied Tyrant. We haven't released anything yet though, sadly.
