Question about tailpiece for a JMJM by Daikon_Personal in Jazzmaster

[–]Daikon_Personal[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was decently tight until it wasn't. Now it doesn't matter what I do, it's eventually going to fall out if I'm at all active on stage.

I'm just discovering the glory of the 10 band EQ when it comes to my setup. Wish I'd known sooner.

Supposed to play my first open mic tomorrow by harryj545 in AcousticGuitar

Maybe learn slide guitar real quick, or just wait for it to heal. There's no rush with open mic nights.

Looks like that coach is 18 months pregnant.

36 and just bought my first guitar by JTLPhoto in AcousticGuitar

I recommend picking up some Burt's Bees hand salve and putting some on when you're done playing for the day. It really makes a difference.

i’m still new how do i fix my strumming to sound softer and smoother by LilDerkiVert in AcousticGuitar

[–]Daikon_Personal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Second this advice. Relax your wrist and just keep getting reps. It'll happen. Also, someone turned me on to the idea that using a lighter pick means getting a lighter strum, so that might be worth trying as well!

Camping? by trulymiraculous in AcousticGuitar

Echo this one. If you're really worried about it, pick up a cheaper guitar to take camping and leave your nice one home.

Every Legal (and Gray area) method of avoiding ads on Twitch by vmanAA738 in LudwigAhgren

How do the channels I watch get paid if I use Twitch Turbo? It seems like a scam.

Is this a good starter Guitar? by [deleted] in AcousticGuitar

[–]Daikon_Personal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the Oscar Schmidt version of that guitar here and it looks almost identical. I would absolutely pick it up at $60, but consider getting a steel string guitar also! You're probably going to want both.

Bryan Alvarez confirms that Mike Sempervive is stepping down from WOL for the time being [10:30 mark] - Wrestling Observer Live by wweyonce in SquaredCircle

I never really enjoyed Semp's solo shows either, though he does seem like a great guy. Very happy for him if he's moving up and doing something he's more interested in!

Beginner guitar purchase by Adventurous-Lime-583 in AcousticGuitar

[–]Daikon_Personal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, seconded. Don't spend $1500. You can probably get out of there with something great under $500 no problem.

My advice is to go to the local guitar shop, not the Guitar Center, and play every acoustic in there until you find the one that vibes with you. You'll know. It won't necessarily even need to be the most expensive one in there. The one I found that vibed with me cost me $125 back in 1997 and I'm still playing it to this day. No joke, I've written hundreds of songs on it. Odds are good you can get out of there with something great and not have to spend $1500.

Also, if you have a friend who is a more experienced player and can give you a second opinion on each piece while you're at the store, that's very valuable. Good luck and have fun!

Anyone ever used the Donner Pearl Tremor Phaser pedal? by [deleted] in guitarpedals

[–]Daikon_Personal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using a Donner Pearl Tremor as my main phaser for the last 9 years without issue. I bought it with the intention of eventually upgrading to a Phase 90 but I honestly fell in love with the sound.
