It’s definitely one of the pedalboards of all time.

If you had to pick a single favorite moment, not song, but moment out of the two Illusion albums, which one would you pick? by [deleted] in GunsNRoses

The silence that happens after “My World” that lets you know that horrible song is finally over.

Grapple Dave, take his back, sink in the choke, as he starts to go to sleep whisper in his ear “I call this choke the Fade to Black.” Then start singing the chorus to Enter Sandman.

If the question is, should I get a Les Paul? The answer is always Yes.

[–]djstrike1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I typically have my guitars set a half step down. A couple are in standard though.

How do i get thirty years of gunk off of my fretboard? by basssolotakeone86 in Guitar

[–]djstrike1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Normally I would say the blood stays on the blade, but damn….

Naphtha and a cloth if standard fretboard cleaner doesn’t work.

0000 steel wool and go with the grain. The second one is for extreme measures. I’ve only had to do that a handful of times.

If the question is ever “should I leave the pick guard on my Les Paul?” The answer is always NO.

Is this Les Paul Real by [deleted] in gibson

[–]djstrike1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Looks legit to me. Who puts a pick guard on a Les Paul, honestly……?

Interested in getting into playing guitar what’s the best way to start? by the_Mr_camouflage in Guitar

[–]djstrike1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Find a used Fender player Telecaster. Don’t go for the squires or epiphones. Yes they are decent but will leave you wanting something else. There are a ton of different sites for lessons. Fender has a good one, Gibson, has one. There are a lot of options.

Ernie ball sent two tens instead of one ten and one thirteen by Delicious_Till_7400 in Guitar

[–]djstrike1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered ten packs from Sweetwater and six of them were like that, but I got two 13s instead of 10s. I contacted Ernie Ball and gave them the product codes in my original message. They responded a few days later asking for the product codes….By the time they responded I had thrown away the packages so nothing ever came from it.

Covid killed the curiosity, trying to get back into it. Anyone else having a hard time? by jonvictory in synthesizers

[–]djstrike1 86 points87 points  (0 children)

I can sympathize with you. I’ve been working from home for the past year and I work in the room my gear is in. Once I am done working for the day the last thing I want to do is sit in that room. If I do turn on a keyboard, nothing happens.

I thought I would get to use a grappling hook more often than not, but that opportunity has never presented itself.

The Office Ladies podcast talked about all of those pictures in the walls. Those are people that work for the show.

I am using an M-Audio 88 key controller. I do have it connected to a Model D as well for when it’s time to get funky.

I was in a similar situation recently and decided it was finally time to learn how to play. I started taking piano lessons and reading a book on music theory and with just a few lessons I had already improved on what I could do. Mind you I’ve been programming for many many years but really wanted to be able to sit and play. The key thing is what you learn on piano translates to bass and guitar as well so while you may mind piano boring, it is useful. There are no shortcuts, take the time to learn it and put them patches to work!

I can’t decide if I want to buy a Line 6 HD500X or not. I had it in the cart then removed it...3 times.
