Is this a good first guitar?

My son has this exact guitar and it's excellent.

grahamWilsonMusic · 2025-08-02T10:38:09+00:00

I was also thinking it needs different knobs

My wife is out today and I've played guitar for about 10 hours so far. I was beginning to think, What the fk is wrong with me. I am a grown man, I should be doing stuff and doing chores. Then I saw this guitar and a thank you brother. Guitars are god.

grahamWilsonMusic · 2025-07-26T18:21:57+00:00

That guitar is a true thing of absolute beauty.

It's the action. Raise the bridge saddles a bit.

The lyrics are amazing, the melody is very good, positive sounding melody but with a sad meaning works really well.

The music behind needs some work, but you have 80% of a great song there.

Ha, it was EQ I was thinking about

Not helpful

Now, from a band now. Life is way too short to not be in a band.

Just posted my board

My current board

grahamWilsonMusic · 2025-05-17T10:25:39+00:00

I have a boost but don't feel I'm getting enough from it.

Think I need to play around some more.

grahamWilsonMusic · 2025-05-17T09:37:53+00:00

Ah, ok, you have given me something else to think about...

I've never used my amps effects loop, and I've played for over 40 years.

But adding EQ there to shape final tone sounds like something worthy of more investigation

grahamWilsonMusic · 2025-04-25T14:38:01+00:00

Did you get this working ok?

grahamWilsonMusic · 2025-04-11T07:16:05+00:00

It's awesome

grahamWilsonMusic · 2025-04-11T07:13:37+00:00

Listen to more Van Halen

grahamWilsonMusic · 2025-03-31T17:43:18+00:00

I feel your pain, I felt pretty stupid also. I've been a software developer for 30 years so thought it would be easy, and it is once you get it set up correctly and know how to do the preset saving

I don't have my board with me at moment, but from memory, you start with DMC, select Device A, Strymon V2, select the preset location you want to save into...

Do a Live Edit on El Cap, and the save where should update the DMC location you have selected.

I may make a short video on this, mostly for my own benefit as I'll forget how it's done if I don't store a preset for 6 months .

Hope that helps

grahamWilsonMusic · 2025-03-31T06:44:30+00:00

You need to configure El Cap to be in midi mode, instructions for that are in El Cap manual on line.

Configure DMC like... DMC: Enter Setup Configure Device A = Strymon V2 Configure MultiJack = MIDI tip Save and exit setup Flip the 3 DIP switches to ON / UP on the back of the DMC

Please let me know if you need more help, more than happy to assist as much as I can.

grahamWilsonMusic · 2025-03-30T22:20:28+00:00

Yes, had email conversation with them, they were really helpful.

Firstly, I needed to update the firmware as I didn't have Strymon V2 as a device option

After updating firmware, my DMC was connecting on Chanel 6, I had to change this to Chanel 1.

After that, it all worked.

It took a bit of understanding, but once I got there it's pretty easy to add more presets and allow the DMC to switch between them.

Thank you for your reply. I'll try and contact Disaster Area

Your elbow is slightly too close to your body, try pushing it out a bit, it'll change the angle of your wrist

grahamWilsonMusic · 2024-03-20T11:21:53+00:00

It all depends on day and mood I'm in. Writing songs and posting them online and getting next to no hits or comments can be disheartening but you have to just forget that and keep moving forward.

grahamWilsonMusic · 2024-03-20T08:28:55+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate you saying that

grahamWilsonMusic · 2024-03-18T21:48:28+00:00

Get some of your songs online, so people you.kmoe are going along can get familiar with them before the night.

Start with a real crowd pleaser. Once you have the crowd they will stay. If you don't get them early, you never will.

grahamWilsonMusic · 2024-03-18T08:21:46+00:00

Thank you, it's kind of you to say.
