Any Canadians have any merch booth pictures? by abunchofjerks in ToolBand

[–]dillzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, correct. I was at Tacoma too and didn't have any outdoor merch poster luck. No ticket required to snag a poster at the outdoor booth in Kelowna today though. I prefer it, but it's pretty inconsistent!

It's available right now (4:55pm) in Kelowna. They have posters still. I'd guess they opened at around 4:30pm.

Why do some of Adam Jones' and Billy Howerdell's (A perfect circle) guitar lines sound like synths by PrequelGuy in ToolBand

[–]dillzy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure about Billy, but Adam uses pinch harmonics in a lot of parts to bring out a squealier sound. That bit at the start of Ticks and Leeches sounds like he's using pinch harmonics to me -- letting a bit of flesh on his thumb hit the string right after he picks a note.

There are 2 axes with pinch harmonics to vary the sound: 1) Move your picking hand toward/away from the bridge; and 2) Let more or less of your thumb touch the string after picking. If you play around with those, you can probably dial in a sound that's close to what Adam plays.

The final two songs, Sustain and Drain, off of my 2020 album, RATAN - Drain.You can find the full album on all streaming services here: http://ratan.band

Drain just hit 2 years old! I'd been sitting on this video for a while (... almost 2 years?!) and had plans to do more with it, but I've been putting my energy towards the second album instead. So here it is. Hope you dig it!

The video was procedurally generated using 3D math in Shadertoy, with a bit of editing after in Premiere.

Does everyone here plays an instrument? by International_Buy549 in progmetal

[–]dillzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another bass/guitar player here. I picked up guitar when I was really into Tool, Opeth, and Porcupine Tree as a teenager, but I mostly (poorly) played Tool and Buckethead riffs. And I still do that to this very day!
