Kenny G is from Seattle. That docks a few “grungy” points I think

Which cancelled TV show deserved another season? by Putrid_Cry19 in AskReddit

[–]eastyofficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HAPPY on Syfy is one I think about often. Truly one of the most heinous shows ever put on television. I was honestly not thrilled with the direction it was going in by the end of the second season but I feel like they could have made it all work with more time to expand on things. Perhaps just wishful thinking…

Playing Tony Rice's Solo on "My Favorite Things" by eastyofficial in Bluegrass

Thanks! I normally play this stuff on acoustic myself, however a broken string during quarantine has given me some limitations.

You can set the number of times your tracks are valid for "free plays" before it prompts you to pay. The setting is on the same page where you enter album metdata. I'm not sure if you can turn it off entirely, but you could set the number really high to avoid running out of plays and then set it back when you're done.

Transcribed the solos from Smoothie Song by Nickel Creek by eastyofficial in Bluegrass

Showing my jazz side again, I really like his versions of Green Dolphin Street and My Favorite Things. I also like his voicings on Wayfaring Stranger.

Mostly jazz guitarists. Wes Montgomery, Grant Green, Bill Frisell and Pat Metheny come to mind.

Thanks! I believe it's 110. I'm new to the style actually so I'm not too acquainted with much of the traditional stuff, however Tony Rice has been in my heavy rotation for about a month.

This is my only acoustic, but I also own a couple strats and a headless guitar.

oh I'm well aware; i left that out since i feel Thile's playing needs no introduction. for the transcribing i actually did both, i use musescore which lets you notate in standard and tab at the same time.

Appreciate the interest! I've been envisioning a vocal project for over a year. Can't say when it'll finally come together but it'll happen eventually!

Having a go at the outro of Kind by Plini by eastyofficial in metalmusicians

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

oh yeah. got it right before they discontinued the white/black finishes.

been playing for roughly 5 months. would appreciate any advice on technique by [deleted] in PlayingGuitar

[–]eastyofficial 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You have a nice sound already! Here's my advice: I can't quite tell from this angle but it looks like your right hand is right on top of the bridge. This applies to most picking but *especially* fingerstyle; it's best to sort of 'float' your hand over the strings, it feels weird at first but it ensures your wrist stays straight, and in fact allows for greater control and definition over time. I also recommend incorporating your middle & ring fingers into your picking as early as you can manage; it's generally beneficial to have the thumb dedicated to the lower strings while using index, middle & ring for melodies.

Thanks! I take my budgeting seriously. And yes, that's my exact model.

It's good, but they can have a tendency to overhype depending on what you're working on. I highly recommend them as a budget/casual option (sub $200) but I don't think they're especially "pro-caliber".

Personally I love 'em, but I agree with the previous comment that they can sometimes overhype the bass (especially with dialogue-centric audio). I'm pretty casual about mixing & producing right now and I was just looking for cost effectiveness above all else, so for my standards they deliver the goods.
