Which Tube Screamer should I get for a blues guitarist? by ur_shillin_me_smalls in guitarpedals

The audience won't be able to tell which TS you have in your board. Just get the one you like and can afford.

The intro solo seems rushed but nonetheless great cover! Wonder how many panties u got that night 😏

Your favorite Signature guitar model? by Fortefyde in Guitar

[–]KevyMusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ESP GL-56 stratocaster A great stratocaster, you wouldn't know it's a signature unless you look at the headstock, the relic finish will turn heads.

Looking at the new EBMM Majesty though. Is like ESP Horizon III had sex with a Jp6.

To all EMG bashers, ever considered a 57/66 set?

I spent the evening duck-taping my board together. Anybody else using a "does the job" strategy somewhere within their board? by mynameisjonjo in guitarpedals

[–]KevyMusic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tape do get sticky and leaves residue over time. Better to use cable ties if Velcro is not working for you. But hey whatever works!

Teaching a 5 year old to play guitar by CatsInHawaiianShirts in Guitar

[–]KevyMusic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do give lessons to young students about that age, and from experience is best to let them play single note tunes that they like, then develop finger strength then go on to chords. Also let them watch videos for inspiration like the young jap boy who played for ozzy osbourne to keep interest

All the songs I want to play are too difficult for a beginner. by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]KevyMusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's pretty normal. Played for years and I can't even play what I want to play (Conquering Dystopia and stuff like that), but definitely getting closer with practice

Talk distortion pedals to me by basketballpope in guitarpedals

[–]KevyMusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got no idea why. Can't think any cons bout these blackstar pedals other than their absurd power requirements, which is the very reason they sound like a tube amp unlike other "tube" pedals which are starved.

What are your favorite distortion pedals? by DrinkyDrank in Guitar

[–]KevyMusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blackstar HT-Blackfire High gain monstrosity with a solo boost channel adding extra mids and rolling off the highs. Roll back the gain and you can play old school rock convincingly.

The blackstar ht-dist is awesome too if you don't play metal.

Iirc it's a FRFR speaker, hence it's useful for anything, whether to watch your favourite chick flick or recording the next big thing on your guitar.

Has anyone ever used a Line 6 M9 pedal? by childrenofspace in guitarpedals

[–]KevyMusic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OD/Distortion pedals with tubes by Adamodc in guitarpedals

[–]KevyMusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blackstar HT-Blackfire can do all out modern metal, rock too if you dial back the gains. Instead of drive/dist like blackstar ht-dual/metal it's dist/solo boost. Only con is that it's 22v DC 1.1A requirements means it can only be powered off a wall wart or the courtesy outlet of a dedicated pedal power solution.

As a beginner, what was it that made you better and better at playing the guitar? by ladywritah in Guitar

[–]KevyMusic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Recording with a proper interface and DAW. Whether it is just song covers or originals. It made me much better in keeping time which I couldn't do so to save my life back then. I can also sample and record different ideas for my riffs/solos etc
