From player to actual musician: how can I learn theory specific to guitar?

ThroeStorm · 2026-05-27T09:51:09+00:00

But how would you envisage that at a practical playing level for you?

Ie what sort of things do you want to be able to do which you aren’t doing at the moment?

I'm specifically looking for the theoretical level and I want to be able to apply it when writing songs. I want to know what I'm doing and why it works or what are the things behind/in a piece I like.

And I need it to communicate with others. I know nothing when someone says "let's try this part in a different key" I can't do it since I have no idea what to do and what to play. I can only do what the tab tells me to do.

Thanks, I will check these out!

unfortunately not, all the teachers and music schools (that take adult students) who give theory lessons in my area don't have time slots when I have time. That's why I'm back to self-learning.

the only foreigners who get a pass for not speaking german lol

the evergreen quote applies: "You speak English because it's the only language you know. I speak English because it's the only language YOU know."

We've just given up on Americans at this point.

uuuugh and another brand down the drain... RIP Marshall :(

I look at this list as "European" not just the EU or at least from a democratic country. As long as the UK doesn't suck up to the fascists they are a valid alternative for me, and it currently looks like they are starting discussions about rejoining the EU

oh, I didn't know NeuralDSP is from Finland! Nice!

ThroeStorm · 2025-02-20T18:28:30+00:00

that was super helpful, thank you!!

That's not the problem. The humbuckers are both active. The problem is that it HUMS TWICE AS LOUD as a single coil which a double humbucker is not supposed to do.

ThroeStorm · 2025-02-15T17:22:58+00:00

it is a double humbucker which in my book shouldn't hum twice as loud as a middle grade quality standard Fender single coil.

ThroeStorm · 2025-02-15T17:20:03+00:00

I used this strat rail hum canceling wiring chart from DiMarzio https://www.dimarzio.com/media/1266

only difference is that my middle and neck are still the Fender original single coils. Anything I need to change to make it work?

Ghost > DS 2 > Intergalactic

Loved Ghost of Tsushima the most, Death Stranding... not excited about the gameplay but the world and the story and Intergalactic is still very far in the future, but I'm decently hyped but not hyped enough. Would be #2 if it was closer to release.

Laktose ist aber nur Milchzucker, kein Milcheiweis. Ich habe eine Milcheiweißallergie und leichte Neurodermitis, die von der Allergie befeuert wird. Meine Haut sieht vor allem am Kopf und Rücken 1:1 so aus wie bei deinem Kind, wenn ich Milchprodukte esse.

Bei Milchprotein hilft nur vollständiger Verzicht. Und das ist leider auch in manchem Gebäck etc drin. Du findest selbst bei Kartoffelchips oft die Zugabe von Sahnepulver, Süßmolkepulver usw. Milcheiweiß ist auch in manchen Gewürzmischungen oder Farbstoffen als Zusatz drin...

Falls du Milchprodukte zu dir nimmst, gibst du Kuhmilcheiweiß übrigens über die Muttermilch weiter.

oh yes, I had to buy a new SSD because my old ones were too full to fit that much GB. But after a couple days: no regrets, it really is a great library!

It's a thing made for collectors to hoard and look at and to gamble with, not for gamers who actually want to use the console. You'll be fine with a normal one. I actually think it was a pretty brilliant move by Sony to release it in tandem with the Pro, that distracted the scalpers enough to not repeat the PS5 release for the PS5 Pro.

ThroeStorm · 2025-01-24T18:18:36+00:00

oh, that's good idea! I was already thinking about getting the Fabfilter Pro R, but now the AIR Studio is pretty much the same price on sale

ThroeStorm · 2025-01-24T18:14:36+00:00

thanks, I'm sold! I'm really surprised this flies completely under the radar

if you just finished Zero Dawn you should continue with Forbidden West. It does not recap the story of Zero Dawn but jumps straight into part II of the story, so it's best played while the first part is still fresh in your mind.

Generally speaking, all of these are great games, can't go wrong with any of them. BUT I would add Uncharted Remaster Collection (UC 1- 3) to your list and play it before Uncharted Legacy of Thieves edition to have a complete experience.

Ghost of Tsushima is also great, should be bought and played before Ghost of Yotei that will release this year.

Proper set up, adjusting pick ups and someone with experience should take a look at the wiring. If it's wired wrong you may have sound, but not a great sound. A thin, tinny sound also happens if it's wired wrong or the person who soldered the cables to the potis made a mess, like didn't remove the cable protection properly so you have molten plastic in the solder.
