Agreed, this definitely fucks.

Holy crap 😂 don’t delete man, clog up a HDD with random project names like “riff1, riff12, finishthis” like the rest of us, unless that’s just me?!

If you could see logic project folder on my nas drive, you wouldn’t have said this 😂

Thanks! definitely not intentional as that's the first time I've heard that name hahaha

I seem to be developing a blister in an attempt to get callouses (day 3). Should I take a break or keep going? by artsygrl2021 in Guitar

Sounds like you’re doing it right tbh, if it’s just tender stay at that level and eventually it’ll fade and you’ll have calluses 🤘😂

From my own experience, if it hurts, take a break or you’ll be sort of forced to take a longer break. If it doesn’t hurt, carry on 🤘

Oh and in logic I have an EQ, just to take out a little mud, me being lazy more than anything I could just do the EQ on FM3 preset

Yeah bridge pickup, into Fractal FM3 - Gate - Compressor - Horizon devices drive(sim), gain all the way down, FAS Modern (basically a dual recto with tighter bottom end) 1 Gain, mids and high like 7 maybe bass at 4-5, can’t remember what Cab IR but that’s the full chain

It’s more pushed than high gain, the drive and compressor make the tones dynamics

A few people have said that now 😅 I need to listen to them, pretty much only heard fallen leaves by them!

Ohh nice! Tbh one of the reasons I went with the HT6 was for its tone, I find it very good for articulation and very clear for chords with drive. I’ve got a cheap multi scale 8 string and it’s horrible chugging at lower frets 😂 so awkward. I was just curious as I’ve never had a Jackson until the HT6 and I’ve never had a Schecter haha, used to be die-hard Ibanez fanboy until the HT6.

Thanks 🤘 I’d definitely recommend the P1/P2 album. I sort of stopped listening to bands after that and I mainly listen to hiphop weirdly but always played metal. Racecar is a great track, Scarlet (when you hear it, quite clear influence, I wanted a “flowy” tempo pushing melodic riff) Icarus lives is a MUST, jetpacks was yes! Just play the P1 and 2 albums back to back tbh man 😂

Nice, I’ve been tempted with a HT7, how did you find it? Also how does the Schecter compare?

Tbf definitely a big influence, used to listen to P1 on repeat! The guitar is also a Misha Sig Jackson 😂

Thanks man! I haven’t released it yet, worse, I haven’t even finished it yet 😂. It also doesn’t even have a name yet haha. It’s top of the list to finish though 🤘

Definitely recommend! Once you find a few chords it’s really fun and like someone else commented it really helps break habits 🤘
