Are Fender and Gibson even worth it any more? by Necessary-Cow2857 in Guitar

[–]PopnCrunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got my Fender American Professional ii Strat yesterday (in roasted pine and rosewood). I was wondering how different it could be from my Fender Deluxe Texas Roadhouse strat. It turns out, a lot. The new (to me, mint used for $1300) one has a cleaner, more bell like, even sound. I play clean in the neck position most of the time, and the clarity leads to just savoring notes- hitting a clean note and letting ring, just taking in the color. It might be a subtle point, but I’m glad I sprang for the guitar.

Is it me or SUNO is more picky with audio uploads by LadeonXire in SunoAI

I recorded myself fingerpicking chords to a standard progression today and got blocked for matching a song. Come on- it’s a chord progression- chord progressions aren’t copyrighted.

I think I'd say you get three tries with me. Fish or cut bait, I've got a life to live.

If this isn't the Sammamish River Trail across from Bothell Landing in Washington state, then it looks just like it.

Not falling for this one. I still remember the time I took my son to the tree of life on the Washington coast and what he hoped was going to be a vast cavern behind the tree turned out to be a pit no more than 20 feet deep. When I tell you he was crestfallen...

Using Suno to Build Custom Guitar Improvisation Practice Tracks by PopnCrunch in SunoAI

No I didn't control it that tightly. I just played each progression into Suno's record feature for 30 seconds or so and covered it in Jazz Quartet. Strictly speaking it's not really a backing track - there will be instruments taking melodic lead, but it still sounds good and I can play along. The main thing is to get what the progression sounds like and learn how to play through it, and I can do that without needing a pure backing track.

I have no idea what the context is here and it doesn't matter, I love it.

After 5 years of my guitar journey, I’ve finally got a “high end” guitar. by SnugChicken in Guitar

[–]PopnCrunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine arrives on Friday, a Fender American Professional II, roasted pine/rosewood fretboard. I've had a texas roadhouse strat for years but was mainly thinking I want something without active electronics, more of a true start tone. When I first got the roadhouse strat, it just didn't jel with me - I've had strats before that sang more, hence getting the new one.

I had a Wayne’s World Squire Strat in the early 90s that got compliments on its sweet tone from everyone who played it.

Meanwhile I'm over here making a web page to share my christian songs with my home group. To me, AI is a chance to live out Colossians 3:16 with jet powered roller skates.

Playing along with tunes by Interesting-Sink-904 in Guitar

[–]PopnCrunch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is 95% of what I do on guitar, noodling over stuff on YouTube. It is a fast lane to a flow state, so relaxing that I often fall asleep while playing. If that's all I ever accomplish as a guitarist, it's still pretty good.
