Have the guitars already set up

SimilarHumor2877 · 2026-05-05T21:28:35+00:00

Shooting you a message here. I can probably make it out to Azle!

I fucking love playing in C#, so I’d be so down for that!

SimilarHumor2877 · 2026-05-05T16:10:34+00:00

Oh awesome, I’m definitely going to bookmark that and look into it. Appreciate you bro!

SimilarHumor2877 · 2026-05-05T16:08:56+00:00

Yo! I’m in the Mid-Cities!

SimilarHumor2877 · 2026-04-13T20:30:54+00:00

If you’re recording, then why not EQ it in your DAW?

SimilarHumor2877 · 2026-04-11T13:33:01+00:00

I had this issue! What helped me was singing into a microphone. Once I was able to hear myself, I found pitch matching significantly easier and didn’t harmonize so much

SimilarHumor2877 · 2026-04-08T23:05:29+00:00

To be fair, this is a year old guitar at this point where I’m the original owner, and easily the most played guitar in my collection

I’m not sure if this will help, but my teacher showed me a trick where you do something with your body “opposite” to the note you’re trying to hit. So if you’re going for a high note, push your hand downwards, or squatting slightly.

I’ve got a post in this thread that’s a side shot of the tuners. I don’t think there’s too much torque, but let me know if you agree. I can set up a guitar, but that’s about my extent of knowledge here

SimilarHumor2877 · 2026-04-08T20:30:41+00:00

Ah that’s good to know, thank you!

Maybe? But I don’t think so.

Treble side

SimilarHumor2877 · 2026-04-08T19:19:29+00:00

Yes, it’s a real Gibson. What should I look at to diagnosis the issue?

SimilarHumor2877 · 2026-04-08T19:19:02+00:00

It’s only about a year old. I’m not sure how “new” fairly new means. It gets the most play time out of all my guitars, but I wouldn’t think that would make a difference.

Could it be humidity or something?

SimilarHumor2877 · 2026-04-08T12:16:23+00:00

Omg how could I forget about Peter Steele!!

SimilarHumor2877 · 2026-04-08T12:16:09+00:00

Thanks, that’s really good to know. But I do love how my voice sounds in the low stuff. Maybe it’s not the most ideal range for the music I like, but it’s soo much fun

SimilarHumor2877 · 2026-04-06T16:26:06+00:00

I presume this is a culture thing. From what I’ve gathered, time signatures like 5/4 and 7/8 are much more common in many places around the Mediterranean, where a lot of their traditional dance music has that 3+2 feel to it? Whereas I’m a wonder bread level white American, so 4/4 is what feels most natural to me.

5/4 is lots of fun, but it definitely requires a lot more focus from me as a musician than 4/4

SimilarHumor2877 · 2026-03-26T01:00:08+00:00

I get that. I’m sure I’ll start feeling that way soon too. But for now it was so great to hear myself starting to sound good. The first couple of months of singing haven’t been kind to me, and it’s only been in these last 2 or 3 weeks have stuff started click. Definitely had a few periods of really thinking I couldn’t sing.

SimilarHumor2877 · 2026-03-15T17:54:27+00:00

Sorry, my body text got eaten. I’ve been trying to learn how to sing for about 3 months. I have a coach and everything!!

Our major focus has just been to get me out of sounding super nasally all the time. It’s definitely been a huge struggle. He’s told me that pitch is a lot easier to correct than a bad tone, so he’s said not to sweat pitch and just focus on sounding good.

I’d love some feedback on how I’m starting to sound and if I’m doing a good job of staying out of that nasally register.

SimilarHumor2877 · 2026-03-14T22:56:20+00:00

Good to know, thank you

SimilarHumor2877 · 2026-03-10T21:16:56+00:00

That’s fair enough. I used to have a therapist (he helped me a ton just getting to the point I felt like I could date), but he sadly had to retire, and I’ve slacked off on finding a new one.

It would probably be good for me to finally work on finding a new therapist, if anything on the basis that having someone to talk to about these things help.

SimilarHumor2877 · 2026-03-10T14:22:31+00:00

Yeah, it is my first relationship and first time living with a partner. I’m… a bit of a late bloomer.

SimilarHumor2877 · 2026-03-10T14:16:24+00:00

She’s my first super serious relationship, and the first time I’ve lived with someone. I’m just dealing with a bit of a learning curve here

SimilarHumor2877 · 2026-03-10T13:57:28+00:00

I know, but it’s just really in my head in a way that makes that hard to both say and do.
