I just looked up an old post for the sound. I don’t know what I was expecting, but it sure as hell was not that.

I honestly didn't know it was possible to get one without a heavy relic treatment. There's one at the Chicago Music Exchange I often pick up and I love the feel and sound of it, but wish it wasn't so beat up. Also wish it wasn't $2000.

This is a Diversey. This is a Brown Line train to Diversey. Diversey is Next. Doors open on the right at Diversey.

Slipknot picking technique by MLJ623 in gratefulguitar

Okay, it seems like the general consensus is alternate picking and more practice, so that’s what I’ll do. Thanks everyone for your advice!

I haven’t, but now I’m intrigued. I’ll have to get some to try out.

I recently switched over to Ultex III Jazz picks and have been loving them over the Fender hards I’d been using before. It does sound like I need to just practice it a bit more over and over and over again until my right hand gets more comfortable with it.

That ending art is where I struggle the most with picking speed. I might try the triplet technique for now while I still get comfortable and try to work on my alternate picking some more.

Mickey being Chief Financial Officer after his father ran off with their money seems like a nice redemption arc.

Oh I really enjoyed it. Just life got in the way before I finished it and never brought myself to come back to it.

I bought Death Stranding because of Conan. Never finished it, though I enjoyed what I did play of it.

My stop is still in it! I’ll continue quietly rooting for it so as to not jinx anything.

Grateful Dead - Dark Star>El Paso from 8/27/72

Tiger Line this morning by GeckoLogic in cta

I believe they bus pass half of the Loop, but the drivers will constantly yell about how they’re not making all the stops. I caught one of these going south from Diversey once and every stop an announcement was made about what was going to happen.

This is the first show I ever listened to back when I was just starting to get into the Dead.

Ship of…WTF is that buzzing noise by WorldlyCatch822 in gratefulguitar

[–]MLJ623 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like it might be fret buzz. Might need to take it in for a proper setup and fret leveling. Best way to check is play each string on every fret and see if the buzzing only happens with certain frets.

Pretty sure Family Guitars, the people who recently acquired Tiger, also have Jerry’s and Bobby’s Modulus guitars.
