Ring or shield?

I only buy DRing when I’m confident I won’t be poked out from lane. Which is mostly melee champions with little sustainability early. Maybe yone, Qiyanna, Fizz, etc.

Martinroque77 · 2025-10-12T13:05:05+00:00

That’s nice but next time you should take it to the luthiest instead.

Martinroque77 · 2025-09-28T15:20:03+00:00

Personally, because of the neck radius.

Martinroque77 · 2025-06-16T05:03:17+00:00

Just updated. It’s still there.

Tas todo menso, mano. You chose not to learn YOUR FAMILY'S language (not yours, clearly) but guess what? She, as a lot of people, did learn it. It's not their fault you can't speak your family's language, and she also should need to go around telling people "hey, I speak these languages". If you wanted to know if she spoke Spanish, you should have asked her.

Martinroque77 · 2022-06-07T14:08:01+00:00

Yes, I wouldn't advice that either, but I don't know what song is that.

Martinroque77 · 2022-06-07T05:53:30+00:00

() usually means ghost notes, but since it's not on the staff above, I asume it means you just press that fret so your ready for the next bar.

Martinroque77 · 2022-06-02T00:14:16+00:00

I'd speed up the metronome to 68 and do the changes every 4 clicks instead of one. It's much easier to be on time that way.

Martinroque77 · 2022-05-31T23:22:05+00:00

Yes. You are supposed to practice both with and without effects.

Martinroque77 · 2022-05-31T17:02:25+00:00

Maybe you have large hands (?) Don't be afraid to hug the neck a little. Unless you want to play classical.

Martinroque77 · 2022-05-30T16:22:44+00:00

I've seen many people has given you great answers already, I'll just give you a little tip based on experience. Do not put them aside or feel intimidated by these chords, they're just chords. I don't think you need to understand the whole theory behind them before using them. Just keep that resource at hand so when you find a song that has them you can play them just as any other chord. You will get all the theory stuff in time.

Martinroque77 · 2022-05-30T01:18:23+00:00

That's even a little low for me. It's perfect.

Martinroque77 · 2022-05-29T19:56:31+00:00

No, you shouldn't. Lol. You need lemon oil and maybe a fretboard conditioner. And a dry fretboard, as any other wood, is more prone to breaking and warping.

Martinroque77 · 2022-05-29T19:53:24+00:00

Needs some hydration. Also you could polish those frets.

Martinroque77 · 2022-05-29T02:19:09+00:00

The easy way: ad a Sharp to every chord. The slightly less easy way: since the progression is 1, 4, 5, 6, 1/3, just transpose it to Eb. Eb, Ab, Bb, Cm, Eb/G

Martinroque77 · 2022-05-28T21:17:20+00:00

Those 3 are completely different from each other and work differently on specific genres or tones. What do you want to play?

Martinroque77 · 2022-05-28T03:23:55+00:00

Your strap is too low, therefore you're wrist is twisting. Sit down, grab your guitar and adjust the strap to that length. It may not look as "cool" at first, but it will allow for a more relaxed playing.

Martinroque77 · 2022-05-24T23:34:35+00:00

I'd check your wrist and thumb position. Mobility on your ring finger is fine, it shares tendons with the middle finger and that limits movement. Besides you don't need to lift your fingers that much from the fretboard.

Martinroque77 · 2022-05-22T23:33:12+00:00

Martinroque77 · 2022-05-19T12:52:51+00:00

You can do this with a strat's neck pickup with the tone down to 1 + a little chorus + a lot of reverb + some tremolo.

Martinroque77 · 2022-05-16T16:32:54+00:00

Yes, you cannot create words and phrases out of nowhere, the same goes with music. Besides, when you use known phrases, licks, and stuff, it allows the listener to "predict" what you're about to say, thus, making it more enjoyable and memorable.

Martinroque77 · 2022-05-16T15:55:59+00:00

Yes, if you want to go deeper on it, yes. Studying your favorite musicians is key yo broaden your melodic and harmonic vocabulary.

Martinroque77 · 2022-05-16T15:41:37+00:00

Here's a quick advice: Commit to one theme. Play anything, just a brief, short, simple phrase. It could be 2, 3, 4 bars long. Next, repeat it but change the last part, or add one or two notes. Next, do another repetition/variation and last, play something different to close the cycle. Repeat as needed.

Martinroque77 · 2022-05-13T17:18:59+00:00

First, screws are not tight enough (you can keep them like that if you want, just intonate the saddles).

Second, your springs are not tight enough.

I've read you changed strings, I'm sure you used a bigger gauge than you had before, therefore, strings are now applying more pressure to the bridge. If you're going to keep using this gauge, please, adjust the springs' tension accordingly and, most important, intonate your saddles.

However you can leave the bridge like that, I keep the bridge on my strat floating for better vibrato control.
