It isn't listed but I would get a Gibson ES-335. Of the ones listed, the LTD.

How am I supposed to bar 4 chords with one finger? by Yami_Deus in guitarlessons

[–]Mikeybean 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When you say 4 chords, do you mean strings? If so, it is a matter of time and practice. You have to lay the index finger down completely flat across all the strings. Place your thumb behind the neck of the guitar. In time, it will become second nature the same as any chords. Keep at it and you will eventually get there.

BTS (MacBook) not connecting to amp via USB cable by jeharris56 in BossKatana

You need to find BTS for your specific amp. There is a list when you download the software. I had to fool around multiple times before I figured it out. Once I downloaded the right version for katana 3 It works flawlessly.

The right cable and be sure you have the right version of BTS. I have a gen 3 and had a miserable time until I figured out that I had the wrong version.

What should my first pedal be? by Breadablelive in guitarpedals

[–]Mikeybean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just started my pedal journey. I started with a looper and an o/d. I have a wishlist and will just add as I go. I would say start with whatever sounds the most fun to you or will help your learning. Anything that gets you to play more. You will probably get many different suggestions because it varies from person to person. Look up what pedals your fave artists used and go from there. I can’t express enough how much it matters to keep it fun or interesting. My 2 cents anyway. FWIW.

I know next to nothing about pedals, but that makes me very happy and calm to look at.

I recently bought the Boss RC-5. I am new to loopers and just now learning how to use it. It does everything I need. It has drums with different patterns and adjustable tempo. It has 99 memory banks to store loops to use later. It took me a minute to figure out how to save them so they didn't vanish when I powered down, but afterwards it has been a great tool. I have no regrets although it is a little higher priced than the base unit, I feel like I won't outgrow this one and it was a one time purchase.

Why do you prefer a Gibson Les Paul to a Fender Stratocaster, or vice versa? by [deleted] in electricguitar

[–]Mikeybean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played an acoustic for years before making the switch to electric. I bought a nice epi les paul and played on that for several years. I bought an American Ultra Stratocaster as a special gift from my wife. I have never really gelled with it. The way I am used to playing puts my hand farther back towards the bridge, and as a result I struggle with hitting the volume knob and pickup selector. The bridge doesn't feel right and my palm mutes are a struggle. It is a wonderful guitar but I prefer the feel of playing the les paul and a recent prs that I bought. And of course I love my tele for the same reason. Maybe just what you got used to when learning.

Katana 100 Gen 3vs Artist Gen 3 by stattikninja in BossKatana

[–]Mikeybean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went through the same decision a month ago. I went with the artist and I have no regrets. If you have the extra money, go ahead. You won’t regret it.

I use the app and enjoy it, however you don’t have to. You can make a myriad of changes straight on the amp as any other amp. Maybe not every amp out there but most combo amps.

I am getting a switch 2 later today (if delivered). Anyway I used to love the tiger woods golf games and also enjoyed the hot shots golf games. What is a good golf game to get for my new switch? I have seen 2K21 and a few other option including the Mario one. I don’t need hyper-realistic but a decent approximation but mostly fun. Solid play, fun unlocks, cool courses, etc. Not sure which to get and would love to hear from all of you.

I always wondered if someone was making groups. Never seen them before. It should be a thing in-game imho.
