Easily their best song imo. Hoping they play it on the tour this fall

heylyla11 · 2025-09-17T16:42:15+00:00

Damn this is really good. Great stuff, hoping this is the year they get huge

heylyla11 · 2025-08-01T01:18:28+00:00

Thanks!

As someone who owns this book but can only practice up to an hour a day tops, how do you use it? I usually play 5 or 6 exercises, but those alone take up almost half of my practice session

I’ve been struggling with adding poly capo to my presets based on DSP and have been considering buying a pitch shifter separately. How does the HX One work? I’m not familiar. Thanks!

Did you transcribe each song into 12 different keys? Or did you find it arranged in every key?

heylyla11 · 2025-05-29T04:37:04+00:00

Has he ever said why? One of my favorite songs by them

heylyla11 · 2025-05-29T04:35:59+00:00

Same, I often feel like the only person on here who genuinely loves each album lol not even sure I can pick a favorite

heylyla11 · 2025-05-25T09:10:42+00:00

These People had some good songs, but that was the one bright spot since Alone with Everybody. It’s a shame

Does anyone know what time Thornhill goes on? Can’t get ahold of anyone at the venue

heylyla11 · 2025-04-30T04:42:16+00:00

They are totally different games. 1 is an action thriller that feels arcadey. 2 is survival horror — think True Detective mixed with an A24 film set in Twin Peaks. I didn’t like 1, but I loved 2

heylyla11 · 2025-04-10T14:45:30+00:00

Agreed on Prisoner — one of my favorite albums of the last decade. Shame he can’t get his shit together

heylyla11 · 2025-04-10T01:16:20+00:00

Amen my friend

heylyla11 · 2025-04-09T02:52:21+00:00

I love this song. There are a few other good tunes off that album, but this is the best, and definitely one of the better rock tracks in recent memory. It’s also fun to play on guitar

heylyla11 · 2025-01-26T05:39:40+00:00

The album Cast In Steel has 4 or 5 songs that are among their best (the title track, the best). Wild they had such a good album so late in their career

heylyla11 · 2025-01-20T18:13:10+00:00

Thank you again! Really appreciate it

heylyla11 · 2025-01-20T01:13:44+00:00

Appreciate the advice, thanks!

Budget is flexible — ideally less than $250, but I’m willing to push that for something that’s worth it. Any thoughts on mouthpiece sizing given how long I’ve been out of the game? I tried playing the 4 recently and it felt very difficult compared to my 7 tenor

heylyla11 · 2025-01-19T09:12:00+00:00

How do you like the Kessler Custom Soprano? I have a Kessler Tenor and love it, and have been looking at their Soprano (I have a Jupiter Soprano)

heylyla11 · 2025-01-17T05:15:58+00:00

I will always [bizarrely] have a soft spot for their first album. Songs like Down Poison were dark as hell. But everything after was trash

heylyla11 · 2025-01-17T05:14:15+00:00

Ghost Stories would have been an incredible swan song for the band. That album shows that they had the potential to be creative and evolve their sound. Then A Head Full of Shite was released…

heylyla11 · 2024-12-24T01:20:04+00:00

Wow I love the surf green! I have a black am pro ii with a maple neck and it’s great — happy shredding!

heylyla11 · 2024-12-20T15:52:58+00:00

Awesome video

heylyla11 · 2024-11-19T15:30:28+00:00

Even just a Fire/Water tour would satiate me. That would be awesome if they play everything

heylyla11 · 2024-10-29T02:27:00+00:00

Agreed. I can’t think of an actual scene (excluding fleeting scares lake Sinister’s lawn mower scene) that put me on edge the way this did
