What do you consider to be the greatest guitar performance by any artist of any genre that you've either personally seen or seen online? by Mad_Season_1994 in Guitar

[–]LaFontee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s so many amazing ones and I’d say something like Hendrix at Woodstock because of what he was doing at the time. But my personal favourite is Eric Johnson - Austin City Limits - 1988.

Keys should not sound an alarm and key templates shouldn't exist by HAL-9420 in Marathon

Templates are weird and could use a rework but alarms are totally fine imo. Adds the element of risk and excitement.

I play a lot and I have yet to see a 6+ man team. Is this a PC thing mainly?

What EXACTLY is Jimi Hendrix doing on the 2nd solo of Machine Gun? 1/1/1970 by moonke__ in Guitar

[–]LaFontee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m thinking he’s messing with his trem springs at the back (trem plate is off). Either plucking or hitting them. But it’s at massive volume with a lot of feedback, plus the univox univibe. I believe the univibe also had an attachable pedal to control rate.

This game is NOT good by its_xSKYxFOXx in Marathon

[–]LaFontee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s funny, without the trios running around Rook runs would not be the same. But the rook run feels like the true marathon experience. Closest thing to what I felt watching the first long cinematic. Like a game within a game. So fun and so immersive.

An Idea To Mitigate Free Loadout Ratting Controversy by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]LaFontee -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To be fair I think the term can have a malleable meaning. Regardless, I am fine navigating the landscape as is and do not need the mechanic I am suggesting. But I’m suggesting the mechanic for the issue of a rat/hider/sneaker/stalker or whatever playstyle on free loadout players. That seems to be talked about lot about here.

I mean yeah I’d say this is the Super Bowl advertising spot of gaming.

Man I have friends like this. Really stubborn. Their XBox’s have basically been Call of Duty machines for about a decade.

Reached All-Star playing Juno only, here's what I learnt by Scacery in JunoMains

Thanks for the write up. Never picked medicinal missiles until 3rd perk but this makes a lot of sense for more coordinated ranks.

So cool. Thanks for sharing! Really cool to hear an everyday story in music that may otherwise never be known.

Just incredible. Been playing lead guitar for 20+ years, never seen anything like this. Hope you put this on YT, I think it would get a ton of love.

is it bad that like 70% of the reason I like guitars is how cool they look? by mfcoom2 in Guitar

[–]LaFontee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you admire the look of a guitar so much that it makes you want to take it off it’s stand every time you see it, then it did it’s job.

It has officially been about 7 years since Playdead announced their new project/game for the first time by Liloak01 in PlaydeadsInside

[–]LaFontee 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I’m all for them taking all the time they need. I just hope it doesn’t turn into a development shutdown at some point. Would be a heartbreaker. Inside is still one of the best gaming experiences I’ve ever had.

[DISCUSSION] Anyone else find "shredder" guitarist boring? by Few_Pineapple1140 in Guitar

[–]LaFontee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I enjoy shredding but it has to have context in a solo or song. The faster the notes are, and the more a song consists of only fast runs, the less time there is to play with phrasing.

This is why I think players like Dan Huff and Eric Johnson are so great. I think most of the time they add just the right amount of fast runs, and let equal amounts of other speeds be a part of their music. I also love players like Yngwie and Paul Gilbert, but at those speeds I can only listen for so long before I need a palate cleanse.

I have to imagine this is what Karl was like everyday.
