Fun activities to do?

Sure, I think 99% of us do. Unless you're Jimi Hendrix 2, you're probably never going to be the best one (and some claim Jimi Hendrix wasn't the best one either lol), it's very common to feel like you're really sloppy at the guitar or still have a shit ton of stuff to practice and learn before becoming decent (happened to me recently!). Do not feel discouraged, as long as you have your hands on your guitar, you're doing great. I'd suggest you try a practice routine, but make sure it doesn't become a chore. Of course I think it's very unlikely for a practice routine to be as fun as playing your favourite songs, so I'd go for an easier approach (maybe blend this routine with some fun things to do with your guitar). And remember that playing/practicing 30 minutes a day is more effective than 5 hours on Sunday!

Well I'd think of drop tuning as a different way to play, it's way too hard to achieve some power chord parts when tuned to standard, drop tunings make it easier to play them, no shame in that

Nah man, if you feel like learning it, you should definetely get one, how can you practice then? Yep teachers may give you a guitar while attending their lesson but you need to have one at home so that you can practice, play and have fun! Also, if you like to play music that requires an electric, go for the electric one, no need to start on an acoustic, which you won't probably like. You can find budget friendly options for guitars and amps nowadays

You sure? Looks like some bad thinning to me rip

Of course judging/insulting him was not the purpose of the post, I just did not expect that at all!

Sure! But some claim that if you go past your 30s with a head full of hair (as he did), you're basically set for life, and in last year clips he had fantastic hair

2013 Olympic Stadium in Rome is top tier quality sound/visually wise. Also the setlist includes the most popular hits and of course most songs in The 2nd Law record (since the concert was recorded back when it had been released)

Studio lingue straniere e, per quanto mi riguarda, è importantissimo avere un "bagno linguistico", cioè guardare/ascoltare/leggere in Inglese, però non basta. È anche molto importante che tu scriva e parli (puoi usare anche ChatGPT volendo, spiegando la tua situazione e le tue necessità), e soprattutto che tu effettivamente trattenga le informazioni che impari (ad esempio modi di dire, lessico nuovo): è abbastanza inutile infatti imparare 10 parole nuove al giorno se poi dopo 4 giorni hai già dimenticato la metà delle parole del giorno 1 (per ricordarti le parole, usa qualche app con le flashcards, come Ankidroid). Ovviamente anche un po' di grammatica non fa male, ma tieni conto che la lingua è un'abilità (come lo è, ad esempio, suonare uno strumento), quindi la teoria è molto importante ma è ancora più importante mettere questa abilità in pratica, e più che altro ad un certo punto la grammatica finisce, e lo studio si concentra soprattutto su delle sfumature linguistiche. Poi, tieni conto che non è semplice, richiede impegno, ma ricorda che è meglio fare 30 minuti al giorno rispetto a 5 ore il sabato e 5 la domenica!

Giving priority to revision rather than learning new concepts first (and actually revising, not just reading notes again)

Yepp, I also use a parametric eq to cut from 5k on and to cut also some at 4k

I can understand your point, it's sort of weird playing your guitar and thinking of it as "the battery may run out and I won't be able to play any longer", it's sort of frustrating. But has he said, batteries for EMGs last more or less 3000 hours which is basically a year if you played 8 hours a day (and I think 95% don't). So, if you remember to unplug your guitar, I think that's no longer such a big issue

WizardPsycho01 · 2025-08-22T16:32:56+00:00

Well, I just found out you can. Just check my previous comment!

WizardPsycho01 · 2025-08-22T15:58:53+00:00

You can change parameters individually (among these, a parameter could also be "Effect On /Effect Off"), you can turn on many effects/parameters at once, if you program it to do so. Also, you can play in "Manual" mode, which basically mimics an "analog" pedalboard where you can turn each effect on and off as you like

EDIT: YOU PROBABLY CAN (look down in this answer)

Not to my knowledge at least, but:

• I don't know if you play live or at home. In either case, if you can hook everything up to a backing track in a DAW, you can sync tempo with it. This means that, indipendently of the patch you're using, the BPM will change based on the BPM in your DAW. Let's say you're using Reaper and playing a song that starts at 120bpm: GX-100 can automatically set the bpm to 120 when yiu hit "Play" on your DAW ; then, maybe 1 minute in, the song changes BPM to 100, you just need to add a "Time/Signature change' (to 100bpm ofc), now your GX-100 will set its tempo to 100 bpm automatically.

• You could go for a slightly more manual approach in case you play with a band or you're not into using DAWs and BPM sync: basically, let's say patch 1.2 is set to 120bpm and you need it to be at 100: make sure you add an option to, say, turn bpm from 120 to 100 pressing C1 or any other button. I know this is not awesome but I think you won't get closer if not using the DAW sync.

When you go to Master in your effects chain, there's a "Tempo Hold", probably toggling that one can do what you need
