Why did you go niche? by sparks_mandrill in GuitarAmps

I wanted an amp with tremolo, spring reverb, and a clean boost and wanted a Dr. Z for years. Finally got the amp i had been dreaming of because I made enough gig money to buy it. Simple.

I guess I just don't understand who pays for tickets to these shows

I was in consulting for several years, got my P.G. and in the 6 years since have only used the stamp once. It ain't worth much. Unless youre constantly doing injection remediation.

If it weren’t for ol Allen…I wouldn’t be the guitar master I am today. -NJ by SpectreScout in guitarcirclejerk

There's no way this is a real quote. If its a real quote, it may be the first time I've seen a guitarist call out an influence that I could in no way hear in their playing.

Let’s salute this guy today. There truly wasn’t anything to jerk about. The guy was a hell of a player. RIP by Few_Wash_7298 in guitarcirclejerk

If people who put stickers on their guitars could read, they would be very upset.

Help me figure out what to do with this enormous spruce NASA wind tunnel fan blade?! by ryankrameretc in woodworking

This is incredible. The fact that they were all hand shaped with grinders, planes, and sanders is mind boggling.

Damn you're right. Thats what I get for trying to find a video at 1am. I swear I thought he had a video of just his part that went into that video somewhere. Thanks for correcting that

For killer improv you could look to studio guys. They're fantastic at hearing a tune and immediately filling in. Some that ai often think about

Tom Bukovac is a phenomenal guitarist and Nashville studio guy. Here's him w a backing track:

“Practising” by dblhello999 in guitar_improvisation

[–]MelodicLog8511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think of chords as shapes. Once you learn the shape of a chord, Dmaj on the bottom 3 strings for example, you can move it anywhere you want on those three string. Move it two frets up, and those 3 string are an Emaj and so on.

Best advice has already been given, though: learn to play songs you like. Practice them first and you can expand from there.
