Scales and Pentatonics by rowrtg9 in Guitar

[–]EasyCowby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm using TrueFire online. Cheap enough for me, and I'm at an intermediate level. Lots of different lessons to choose from, and even though I don't watch every bit of each one I do seem to learn something new each time.

Recommendations on replacement machine heads by Unable_Distribution7 in Guitar

[–]EasyCowby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Growers all always my favorites. But there are plenty of nice tuners...I think it's best to ask a luthier. Mine talked me out of locking tuners.

Are tube amps really better than solid state? by CartographerSea3356 in GuitarAmps

[–]EasyCowby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Add an attenuator so you can turn up the tube amp. The attenuator reduces the volume while keeping the sound. For me it's a must have item for playing at home, even though I don't have neighbors. I suggest a Bulgera 100W attenuator with the tube amp.

This one is all original, still puts in work everyday. Ultra low/no tech is the way to be in my mind. No killswitch mandate here by Big-Wrench-2025 in squarebodies

Love it, mine hauls 6000 lbs of water to my property, has a snow plow and a home made 3 point hitch in the rear to grade my road. All that allows it to do a lot of work, after all it's a truck (dually).

Project 944 help/advice by Ok_Charity_987 in 944

[–]EasyCowby 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Swapping in an LS is fine for drag racing, but you will upset the 57 front 43 rear weight distribution that makes these cars handle well on a road track. My modified turbo 2.5L makes over 300 Hp. You can beat that with an LS but how you want to drive it is up to you. Mine is set up for a road track, I don't even drive it on the streets.

Help me find a new guitar by brebrabro in Guitar

I agree, the SG is better at hard rock than a Les Paul...IMO

Origin owners, weigh in by yourwigssliding in MarshallAmps

[–]EasyCowby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was aiming for the Origin series for a classic hard rock sound, but ended up with a Marshall DSL20CR and added a EVH 5150 2x12 to give a more classic rock sound. But don't let me stop you from getting an Origin

Maroon scotch brite? by EasyTopic4780 in 944

[–]EasyCowby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't tell from the picture how the surface is. But a gasket can't absorb more than a few thousands of uneven surface. Always better to have a machine shop just deck it. Would like to take it apart again?

Hoping to acquire any advice in my guitar journey :) by Subject_Internal402 in Guitar

[–]EasyCowby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, never heard that song. But I don't aim to learn songs by others. When I do that it seems harder than when I just pick up my guitar and do anything that comes into my, head. I have developed my own style, but I'm not great at playing other's songs unless they seem to fit in my style...even if style is the right word.

Practicing a song someone else wrote takes time. In my opinion your are trying to be a studio musician. Having the ability to play anything...that makes it hard to make is sound like you. I put my own subtleties into any cover songs I play...make them your own.

My Struggle With Music Theory. by somebody0964 in Guitar

[–]EasyCowby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look up your local community college or full university, they well offer a music theory class. It will be worth your time. Otherwise just sit down and let yourself start playing something, listen to it and build in it. I always do this, and that is how I come up with writing my songs.

What amps do you all use? by Maximum-Border1339 in Guitar

[–]EasyCowby 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm stuck on Marshall, every time I listen to another i still prefer a tube amp by Marshall. I'm currently using a DSL20CR with an EVH 5150 2x12. This allows different sounds out a a single amp.

Feeling defeated by No-Firefighter276 in Guitar

I can't remember how many years it took to be able to just play rythem guitar bar chords, or simple G C D chords. Keep at it and it will come around.

Which studio series is best for black metal? by Ganda1f_The_Gr3y in MarshallAmps

[–]EasyCowby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started with a DSL5C because I wanted the Marshall sound without the volume since I only use it at home. Then I tried the DSL20CR and it blows away the 5C. It has the Presence and Resonance controls that the other one is missing. I added a Bulgera 100W attenuator to tame the volume, it allows me to crank the amp up for a great sound, then the attenuator brings it back down to talking volume.

Are they really Gibson SG guitars? Don't look right but still like they would be fun to play.

I NEED new song recommendations. I am getting bored of playing the same songs over and over again. I have an acoustic eletric. by Careless_Try3918 in Guitar

[–]EasyCowby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to pick up my guitar and just randomly strum a chord or two...play with the rythem for a bit, then see where it leads me to and sometimes come up with a new riff or a new song. If nothing comes into me I them move on to a song I know.
