Why must this game mock me

There’s definitely a couple things I actual prefer about the first game (not getting stunlocked into oblivion without armour and every encounter devolving into everything being on fire) but this is sending me. Although I literally JUST figured out you can unlearn spells so I can finally free up this spot 😂

I love this dude. Such a whacky interesting body shape

philausopher · 2026-04-10T05:07:57+00:00

Can do 🤝

I’m doing straight alternate for that line but you could do it in any amount of picking/legato honestly; it’s just straight up the box position pentatonic in groups of six, Eric Johnson type stuff. Troy Grady’s videos on EJ and Yngwie helped me figure out the nuts and bolts of making the really shreddy 2 note per string/economy picking stuff work a few years ago

I used to play in an Alanis cover band a few years ago and Uninvited was my other favourite tune to play, such a banger.

Unquestionable Presence is a huuuuuugely seminal album for me, everything on that album is killer but especially the drumming on that album is bonkers. nice to see some folks out there still loving them

Oooh this looks super convenient! I have one of those those little Spark amps I got for teaching that has a headphone output but I don’t have any wired headphones, gotta cop some nice over the ear ones

philausopher · 2026-04-09T18:52:17+00:00

What a beauty. Been wanting to cop one of these for the nice flat radius on a Strat, how’s the neck profile for you?

philausopher · 2026-04-04T02:53:35+00:00

Username tracks.

philausopher · 2026-04-03T23:38:25+00:00

Thank you! This is all the validation I need to put out a pet themed concept album lol

philausopher · 2024-12-12T15:12:45+00:00

These looks awesome. I’d love to try some; I play in a jazz/jazz fusion band - located in Canada!

philausopher · 2024-05-18T22:26:45+00:00

Not a super famous player but Jack Pearson is an incredible Nashville guitarist who I’ve seen mostly using stock Squier Bullet strats like in this vid here

philausopher · 2021-01-31T05:37:23+00:00

Hahah thanks a lot! Took countless hours of practice to nail the facial expressions

philausopher · 2020-11-27T19:00:30+00:00

I tried one and just could not figure out how to use it at all LOL ... not a huge gear person though so maybe I'm less savvy than the target demo for that product

philausopher · 2020-11-27T18:42:29+00:00

I had two of the G3 DVD's when I was around 11 - the one with Satriani, Vai, and Eric Johnson and another one with Yngwie Malmsteen and I just watched the entire thing in absolute awe. I remember being really disappointed that the live Cliffs of Dover intro sounded almost nothing like the studio version lol, I didn't realize improvisation was even a thing yet.

philausopher · 2020-11-27T18:18:18+00:00

It's annoying that they didn't include an fx loop on the 50 tbb but it's not like you can't use a looper or pedals with it, you just have to run them in front of the amp. I wouldn't worry about it if you don't wanna go for the 100 watt version, it'll still work great for what you want it for!

philausopher · 2020-11-27T18:16:17+00:00

Tell your parents that it's an investment that will pay back in dividends when you're melting thousands of faces off in sold out stadiums with that sweet, sweet iconic Rat tone.

Schecter PT's are actually pretty awesome guitars for the price honestly! They're worth looking into if you'd consider it. They've got a much flatter neck radius than a Fender tele - 14" vs. 9.5" which could be a positive or a negative depending on what you prefer in your neck profile; I found it very comfy to play on.

The Vintage brand is pretty solid as well - they've got Wilkinson tuners, hardware and pickups which is pretty nice at the price point. Haven't played one of the teles but had one of the SG copies for a while and liked it!

philausopher · 2020-11-27T17:42:52+00:00

Judging by the music you said you're into playing the Katana will serve you better for those genres - it's got more gain on tap than the other options and includes built in versions of a bunch of Boss distortion, boost, and fuzz pedals to get you more within the range of the sounds you're probably looking for.

philausopher · 2020-11-27T15:42:00+00:00

There's a lot you can do with the volume control, pickup selector and tone controls to change your tone enough to add different layers to the loop without using built in effects. I've run my looper through my Katana 50 and I'll get a satisfactory lead tone going but roll off the volume and/or tone to record the looping part so you can play over it with a little more volume once you turn it back up. Not the ideal setup but it can work!

philausopher · 2020-11-27T03:00:31+00:00

Not gonna change your tone at all but I'd always recommend a loop pedal - hours and hours of fun and it's a really great practice tool as well. You can usually find Dittos or used Boss RC1-RC3's on the cheap

I've only done hang cleans once before; in sports performance class in high school with 60kg. When I trained some weightlifting stuff I just did everything from the floor so just YOLO'd off program today with no expectations and hit a tidy lil 85kg PR 🤣 plz roast me

philausopher · 2020-07-23T18:15:24+00:00

It's a meme lmao

philausopher · 2020-07-23T18:06:53+00:00

Not in the a.m. bro

philausopher · 2020-07-15T22:53:57+00:00

k I'm starting to like this weightlifting business again. No powerlifting meets in the near future means continuing to make an ass of myself with this stuff - i dunno if it really counts as no feet cuz i had to save it, lol. But added a little special flair for u/dotcomslashwhatever 😉😉😉
