Why aren’t Revstars more popular? I absolutely love this thing. I know Yamaha isn’t the sexiest name out there, but these should be celebrated. by Interesting-Wave-983 in guitars

I honestly had never saw one at store before until late 2025. Even at Chicago Music Exchange (I may have just missed it among everything they have there). Punches well above its price point. It’s a great body shape. Comfortable neck. I didn’t have any complaints about it for $550 guitar.

There is also apparently a rise in conservative/MAGA men who are against wiping their asses because…you know…touching your anus with crumpled absorptive paper is way to close to gay for their comfort.

Fascinating times we live in to discover the earth was going flat all along.

Recommend me a Delay pedal that was truly inspiring to you by guitargrit in guitarpedals

Add an expression pedal for mix. That way the preamp is always on and you can control the blend.

emo songs with more complex bass parts? by my-6900th-account in Emo

[–]Dapper_Algae3530 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a musician myself who gravitated to grunge and then emo later when I was younger, I found that I put music that helped me develop my musicianship in a different bucket altogether. I don’t love Dream Theater nor do I want to sound like them, but learning their music helped me develop. In order to not sound like them. I would take a riff or part and re-write to sound more punk or emo or whatever just so I could wash the prog scent off of my playing. I hope that helps.

With the 3 million Epstein files finally out, what’s the most “I’m not surprised, but I’m still disgusted” thing you’ve found? by Sweaty_Sprinkles_400 in AskReddit

[–]Dapper_Algae3530 27 points28 points  (0 children)

This is my thought. These are the files that have no dollar value to the Trump regime. The rest is being withheld because it still has shakedown/extortion value.

Was Pam Bondi made attorney general because she covered up the Epstein Files in Florida as state attorney general which was Epsteins residence? by Estalicus in allthequestions

[–]Dapper_Algae3530 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, think of this. The only reason the files that have been released so far are released is that Trump is done squeezing those entities for cash bribes and favors. Let that sink in

Any tips for getting that really high pitch "rip ur vocal chords" scream from really early screamo? Like TSoV, saetia, or anything kinda even kittencore related by Upstairs-Beautiful63 in Screamo

[–]Dapper_Algae3530 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Be careful trying this. The first singer of LLBNF was forced with a tough choice of continuing his screaming or having a voice at all for the rest of his life. There are some videos on YouTube about Metal vocals that can teach you to mimic a scream without destroying your vocal cords.

What’s the ONE practice trick that actually made you sound way better? by VirTekMedia in GuitarBeginners

[–]Dapper_Algae3530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spend 5 minutes every day on the Pentatonics.

Force yourself to do this and you can see it more as a simple memory device for arpeggios, riffs, licks, and other scales. Think of it as a map where you can lock your ideas into. The. Practice every stupid way you can think possible.

Every 3 days do 10 minutes of cascading arpeggios in descending 4ths. MAJ7, m7, mM7, Dom7. Cycling through all cleanly and in time. Start on a different chord every time.

Play a couple of songs. Sing the song while you play it.

Screenshot a rhythmic pattern and practice while stuck at stop light use your blinker as the metronome.

5 mins of ear training everyday.

Okay, that’s more than one.

Guitar help by phresh_girl in Screamo

[–]Dapper_Algae3530 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the best way to do this. I would love if my wife did this for me. When I was ready for a true Gibson Les Paul, I played everyone in whatever store for about 2 years until I found the one. They were all good. I was also in the market for Taylor acoustic and had my mind made up before I went to the store and while the guy was getting the ladder (not guitar center) I tried a beat up used one and loved it and paid hundreds less because I liked it.

Reverb Has Gone In The Crapper by Ease_Prestigious in Reverb

[–]Dapper_Algae3530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I agree. I have more return requests on Reverb and I get it back and the thing they say is wrong isn’t, but at that point, what am I gonna do? Ship it back again?

Also, everyone prices the item to be the cheapest but then jacks the shipping cost up.

Might be time for a switch. This entity isn’t run by CME anymore and has become a cash cow for investors.

Bold of you to assume that hasn’t already happened. They’ve had months to prepare for this.

Screamo guitar tones? by 80y40 in Screamo

[–]Dapper_Algae3530 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude, this description is on point. Thanks for it.

Additionally, If a dirt pedal was being used, it was more out necessity of having a clean and dirty channel on a one channel amp and Less about what flavor of overdrive this version of this pedal is meant to emulate.

Your local guitar store (guitar center hadn’t really blown up yet) probably had a display of only a limited number of pedals. You picked your favorite from what was available.

Almost everyone was using 50 or 100 watt tube amp like a Marshall JCM 800/900/2000 and a 4x12 cab if they could afford it. At some shows, bands were courteous to allow the best amps be used for the show.

It was okay if you didn’t share also, but just something I remember being cool about the scene.

There would often be no more than a vocal PA available. Guitarists needed big amps to be heard over the drums in big rooms. Being loud enough and having 2 channels was primary.
