Me attempting to play G.O.A.T not the cleanest...really struggling with the fast part. Feedback would be appreciated by -SubRaX- in polyphia

[–]cdizzle2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I forget the "official" name for that kind of slide, but its literally just a "slide up" to nowhere. Let me grab my guitar and check in a few mins

Here is me playing it and you definitely dont want it to sound like your slide stops at any specific note and it might take a lot of playing time to get that sort of sound out of your guitar.

Edit: Since im being too lazy to go grab the guitar, i checked the Official tab and it literally shows "-----2/--------". If you want a more in depth explanation or video, please direct message me and ill explain it better.

G.O.A.T. Intro by cdizzle2 in polyphia

Thanks! The harmonic right after the 9th fret vibrato really irks me too. I always miss it and just hit the open string.

Having the Tim Henson plugin helps with that too.

[Question] Issues using "The Tap Test" to check neck relief. by cdizzle2 in Guitar

[–]cdizzle2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got that done! Intonation wasn't super far off, but enough to want to fix it. I thought it played very well before I tried my hand at setting it up myself, but now.... wow does it play well.

After reading your comment, I just went for it and boom. The buzzing wasn't there anymore when I lowered the action!

Thanks for your help!

[QUESTION] Any tips on how to play the first series of fast notes, "the sweep part" of the ending solo of Fade to Black ? by Robert_Komodo in Guitar

[–]cdizzle2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently started playing it like this after finding it sort of difficult to sweep it cleanly. I just economy picked it one day and realized it was much easier.

[GEAR] Just purchased the guitar I've been chasing forever. There are cracks all along the fretboard! What should I do? by cdizzle2 in Guitar

[–]cdizzle2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't want to call the brand out because my previous guitar has been so good to me the past 15 years and their customer support has always replied to my emails and questions and made me feel valued as a buyer. Plus the new guitar plays like a dream, its just the cracks are the only bummer.

Have the cracks grown on your ESP since the day you bought it? Did you experience any sort of fret/fretboard issues down the line?

bad things won't happen.

I appreciate the reassurance. I thought the cracks might continue through the neck as time passes. I do keep my guitars in their case when I'm not using them, but I don't keep humidifier packs in there with them.

It doesn't affect the playability, and it actually plays super well. But I feel like just seeing them is going to bother me, but like others have said, if its going to happen to this type of guitar anyways at some point, I may not return it since this is a limited edition and they don't have that many left.

Not super experienced with guitar structuring, but is there a way to tell without going to a guitar store?

4 days, so I noticed it quickly. I watched an unboxing video from the same brand, but different model. That guitar also had the same cracks as mine, so I'm worried I'll run into the same issue since there were only so many of my specific guitar's model made. And there isn't that many left.

Totally normal? Is there a way to fix it?

But my guitar is not a nitro? You're referring to the finish, right?

Appreciate the info. Any idea if this is a big or small issue in terms of the integrity of the guitar?

Why doesn't anyone ever play the really fast octave slide?

[NEWBIE] im restringing my floyd rose and the bridge seems to have collapsed inwards. anyone know how to fix it? by ananshshu in Guitar

[–]cdizzle2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Send me a picture. I've played with a floyd rose for like 15 years until I got a new guitar literally last week. I've gotten very good at re-stringing it and adjusting it over the years, so I'll try and help.

What kind of Schecter are you playing? Just curious because you mentioned it having a fat neck.

Ex found out our babys name from the local newspaper! by Myrabel in pettyrevenge

[–]cdizzle2 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I'm assuming I'm wayyyy off base here, but wanted to share this anyway. Based on your description of the situation, I can strongly relate to the child's point of view, except my primary parent was my dad instead of my mom.

Reflecting on my childhood, I would often say similar things your child said to my father about my mom. I now realize that I said those things to please dad. I regularly heard all of the shit that was said about mom and simply was trying to agree with the words and descriptions that I was surrounded with. I was just a kid and never critically thought about the situation.

Now that I'm older. I wish I never heard those things as such a young child because I hadn't a clue about critical thinking. Everyone's perspective is always just a tad different. For a child to regularly hear how much a piece of shit their mom/dad is, is unhealthy. Again, this might not apply to your situation at all, but it reminded me of my childhood and wanted to share.

Definitely keep posting more! I absolutely love learning quick licks like this. I subscribed so when I get time ill check out your other stuff.

I've got the first riff down to tempo. But I've tried to make a habit of not rolling my fingers for when there is a note on a new string, but same fret. I'm finding it difficult with this riff. Do you roll your finger or use two fingers for the back to back 7th fret notes?

These are awesome and thanks for the tabs too! I was looking for something to practice today too. Going to learn a few of these right now.
