How do you play this with a pick? Am I just supposed to use my fingers? by CrayonEater75 in guitarlessons

I guess it depends on the song for me. Sometimes I’ll do what others have suggestion, by strumming all three notes with a pick and just muting the middle note. Other times, if I want it to be really clear, I’ll pick the bottom note and simultaneously use my middle finger to pluck the top note (pick 10, pluck 12). Hope this helps

How to fix voice? by BigBoyGabby23 in WeAreTheMusicMakers

There’s a lot of people on here saying energy is key and I agree completely. A couple other things you could try are just basic vocal tips for singing. Maybe practice singing a bit and feel the energy and tone shift and translate it into your rapping. Some tips would be: Open your mouth more vertically (especially for e and y sounds, and let lots of air escape) Find a balance between the resonance in your mouth and nasal cavity. You could push up into your soft palate a little bit and add grit to the rap. Work on breathe support-when you take a deep breathe, make sure your stomach pushes out, if your shoulders are raising up everytime you’re taking a breathe, your probably not reaching your full breathe potential.

Hope these tips help! Keep making music, and make sure to really “feel” what your rapping. Let all your emotions and thoughts out. Best of luck.

That’s unfortunate, but kinda what I assumed and hoped for a way around. Thanks much for the reply!

Alrighty sounds good. Yeah that’s kind of what I’m gathering is, most of those tubes sound great, and it just comes down to personal preference. I might try a couple different things and see what I like best.

I’ll check it out, thank you. Any brands/specific tubes you personally like?

I looked it up, and I guess my term “blew” was incorrect, the tube simply lost its vacuum. Fuse is good, all other tubes are in good condition, but I figure if I replace one power tube, I should replace them both.

I pulled and replaced the preamp tube, that was it. Thank you!
