I'll have a look now
How good is your fretting hand muting?
1000$USD?
Better then mine
You already know why I’m asking then lmao
Yes
I didn't know that was a thing until I bought a 9 string and I was not about to learn lmao
Right hand muting is hard already on a 6/7 string on a 9 string it's awful
It seems pretty good, but I'm trying to work on it
Either max noise gate or best musician
It is something you have to keep your eye out constantly when playing 8 or 9 string guitars
Thats what i did they are ass...
lol
The indo 9 strings are not very good
Really? I've heard a lot of good things about them
Should’ve seen that coming from me lmao
I usually keep the noise gate at around 30-40% so I can play solo.
Most people have never held a nice guitar

@lethal fractal fathom the infinite deep solo still some mistakes
but i dont have much time to record
After i played a mayones
i’ll never look at a guitar the same way

This is a lot of money for me and I'm not sure I can raise more.
You should see how many of those we get in
This is my salary for 2 months of work
shit was perfect ong🙏
😔😔😔
If I can't find a 9 string guitar in this budget, I'll take an 8 string.
9 strings on a budget are just not worth it
I think my only way of getting a mayo is grinding my way up to get sponsored lol @balmy vortex
8 strings are also difficult but a little easier. 7’s would be the easiest
Time to start making music and make videos
Unfortunately, I firmly decided that I will not go with less than 8 strings
Then get ready to practice fret hand muting
a lot of people are telling me that i should post more and make videos lol
It’s the only way tbh
Videos and reels
Yeah, I'm ready for it haha
All that's left is to save up some money and choose a guitar
My friend got an 8 string from ruf guitars that they sent him after they saw his playing
i have never heard him shred tho…
i don’t like ruf
Stupid ass wanna be aristides competitors
Idk never played any unfortunately
lol
I wonder how popular a band has to be to get sent a guitar
Ehhh
he is not that popular lol
the shapes are horrible
Yup
Aristides look way cooler
Looks pretty good, I think.
The dips?
At quick glance I thought it was a jackson then I looked again… eugh
yeah yeah
Exactly
they throw me off a bit
Did you see the new JM shape?
No
Mike stringer sig
But if i had to go with a custom guitar i would def go with mayo
cuz i would be able to pick it up by myself lol
let me search it up
And the price overall still allows me to take it
Perhaps it's worth looking at the reviews
Oh for sure, I'm just saying it's not worth it
and they also made signatures for some polish guitarists👀👀👀
so thats one way
Eh, I also looked at Legator, but their prices start at around $1,700, too expensive.
Looks like I'll have to stick with the 8 string Jackson soloist
Legator is even worse...
Really?
out of all 8 strings i have played when i was in the US only legator was nice
lol
Yea 8 is all you will need.
Having a 9 string is 90% maintenence
They bring their nice ones the issue is there QC
Their QC is ass
It is
Oh yeah
the one i played
had a chipped body
The best brand in that range of 1000-2000 is fgn even if they barely make 7 strings
It was the size of a large thumb lol

@toxic wharf you can also try to search for some on reverb
Guys, I have a guitar for $500, it can't get any worse.
you never know what you will find
Yes it can
thats what i was about to say lol
Also it has Floyd rose
Don’t say that cuz I have examples
That’s not a problem that’s a skill issue
There is the Electroboom guitar
I'm not saying that this is a problem.
I use it
but yk these cheap floyds are a hell
Oh I know
If there’s a Floyd special on a guitar replace it immediately with a gotoh 1996te
No need
Well, he seems pretty good
But I don't know, this is my first guitar, Harley Benton
It’s not an easy bridge to adjust tbh
I mean if you set it up correctly it can be quite good
good thing i am sending that guitar a luthier as soon as i finish the build

On the second try lol, the first time I ripped out Floyd Rose but they replaced my guitar
😭
I shouldn't have put it in F#

lolll

Btw @lethal jewel there’s some new mayones guitars coming in 6-7 string for about 2500-2900€
Not that bad of a price for a mayo
Indeed
Can’t spill too much of the beans just yet tho
But they’re gonna be specs that I’d favour a lot over the current regular duvells
i’ll just pay them a visit lol
Say hi to mateusz for me 
Are you that close to gdansk?
yeah like a 1 hour drive
Kekw
no big deal
he is a great guy
He is, loves bikes as much as I do as well
Lolll

What biking are we talking about tho?

Cuz I’m talking motorcycles
oh shit
i was talking about bicycles
lol

lolll
Ngl i will have to pay a visit to the shop you are working in some day lol
there are none like this in poland
Yes
Idk poland is so un-core
barely any people that listen to deathcore, metalcore, crabcore
especially in my town
Kekw true
mostly black metal
i only met one person with a 6+ strings guitar
thats not a good sign
Bro, in the Czech Republic you can't find a metal band at all.
I was able to find a death metal band in Slovakia, now I play there
Luckily, I live near the border and can travel to Slovakia without any problems
And I want to play core!
From the sounds of myself I’m probably gonna order a Dean Gordon soon
Incredible beauty in this Mirus. Loaded with @fishmanmusic open core modern pickups. She is all class no sass.
168
Something close to this
Damn
Unusual shape
Exactly
yoo
looks cool
Helps I’ve practiced nothing but rhythm for that
It was a bit of a demo for Mendel lmao
Fire
I’ll be capturing that amp very soon
How do u even capture an amp
Nano cortex
Oh yeah
they both look soooo good
Damn
Yw
Blue one is just 💜
I saw the second prototype in production a few months ago
hell yeah
What about 8 string?
Oh shit
Nope
Sadge
You can get a decently specced 8 regius tho
Can be done
Sweet
Not cheap but can be done
I bet
The ever tune is called 4ever
as if anything Evertune would ever be cheap lmao
Add true temperament and it’s even worse
Does evertune have a bass version?
No
good instruments are so fuckin expensive man.....
maxxed out mayo lol
Tell me about it, I work in a shop with just high end stuff 
On a core series with a 5a flame top yes
ngl, that´s some really cool shit. Just being around that gear all the time, maybe getting to play it from time to time at least appears like a dream (not considering it´s obviously still work)
Indeed
This is fun tho
Man all my hobbies are the knives I want that my buddy makes the cheapest premade ones are 2 grand before taxes and import fees and all that shit.
Nice stuff doesn't come cheap anymore
Ya it is, maybe my mom will buy it
5.5k
it´s wild how much money you can drop on some high quality products
How about free therapy in exchange?
thinking about it, I´m still waiting on my new guitar, which should be done within the next few weeks
😩
Yea...
You think i need therapy? 
fell in love with Esp after i saw spiro
Your a musician...
Yet I am doing shit only a few could dream of
Spiro is a friend of the store I work for
Hehe ya
BRO NO WAY LOL
I gtg work on my Wok yall have fun
Yup. Axe palace
Were also the only store getting some signed mick Thomson sigs
10 of them
yooo thats nice
Dino, Wes, Mick, Jim, Vman, Tim howley, pat and a fair few more
😭🙏

holy shit
I also have my own roster of Lakeview and electric callboy
i was wondering if people just come into the store to just buy a guitar at this point
They do
Had one today
Thats crazt
Tod10 mauve metallic as his first guitar
😭😭😭
Another 2 times for Dingwall
Meee don't forget conic
The knife master lol
Well I'm working on booking tickets
Soon™️
Yes
I'm more so waiting for when I get to go visit for free as that should be happening
I need to visit you someday with my friends
but we all need to get our driving licenses first lol

i will be making an album or an ep with them
but we got only 10 days to work on it
lol
We will prob go with something easy
like slam
Good fucking luck
You’ll get the main writing done
Maybe but then the production side is gonna fuck shit up 
I mean i will start writing riffs before so we can have something at least
We will record in 10days after that i will send it over to my friend for mixing
It’ll be easier with everyone together o know that much
yeah but after 10 days everyone is coming back home
and it will take some time for us to get back together
How much would it cost me to open a branch of your store here in Canada?
I got an az2402 as my first guitar I asked for. Aside from the one my household had but i was mainly acoustic guitar at the time. I was less than a year of playing guitar
Probably half a mil
But did you buy it for yourself?
Cuz this guy did
Nvm that's crazy💀 I got it as a gift
Interesting
Exactly
Also crazy ah gift as your first electric guitar
Prestige az2402 is one hell of a guitar as your first
Actually tho I will say having a guitar u really like early on also helps motivate u to play more sometimes
Having it properly setup motivates more
Then the guitar is actually easy to play
Like we had harley bentons and fenders and prs that my dad owned but I never liked them and then on Christmas I got the az2402
Yep 1 mm action🤌
Damn
That’s almost too low tbh
We usually aim for 1.25mm on the 12th fret which is a perfect height
I use 10 gauge so it's minimal buzz. It's like 1 mm-1.2mm
When I did hybrid 10/9 gauge high e would buzz too much
9-46 is a pretty good set tbh
Could be because of a multitude of things tbh
Only thing I wish is my az had a flatter fretboard. I mean I do have a rg550 and rg565
When I switch to 10s it was perfect. It might because 9s vibrate more which can kinda cause buzzing
Not exactly
There’s a bit more happening there than just the strings vibrating more
I mean after I switch to 10s there was no buzz
So I'm happy with that tbh
Do you know how to setup a guitar
I run 9-46 on my rgs tho
Yea that's how I got a low action
Set the neck relief, action, bridge height, check fret level and more
See if the nut is cut correctly
If the bridge is in the correct radius as well
I realize out of the box when I first got it the neck had quite a bow which I didn't realize till like 1 year after I got it
Not a big bow but made it harder to play so I adjusted where it's slightly curved the neck relief
And then there is also how you play that plays a role in how much buzz there is
Yea I pick slightly harder in some scenarios which is what bring out the buzz when I use 9-46
As long as you don’t audibly hear the buzz through the pickups and through your amp you’re fine tbh
But after 10-46 no buzz whatsoever or minimal buzz. Before it buzz really bad when I picked it
So I just put 10-46 elixir optiwebs and it was good to go. And switched pickups too
Nice
Same here on my Ltd
Yea it's been my main axe since I started basically so atleast 3 years or so. Tho always hurts my heart when I see there's more scratches😔
From sd distortion to an M6 from Lundgren
Dimarzio dreamcatcher bridge. And rainmaker neck soon
Well neck pickup is still otw here
i think u like ibanez…
Omg How did u guess?💀
I planning to get a j custom next🙏
hell yeah
i have no idea what next guitar i will get
i’ll probably just stick to making my own guitars
It should be my last guitar🙏
Tho I do want a esp and a musicman jason richardson😭
them esp’s look so nice
I just want 1 to have and play sometimes I feel like not having an esp with the ibanez feels missing
i just need more 8 strings lol
i want to try an 8 string but i dont see myself playing an 8 too much. mainly ill play my 7 string instead
I mean when i bought an 8 strinf
the change from 6 to 8 strings was brutal
Fgn or Japan custom shop jcustom
its this one i may be getting for my bday. tho imma swap tone zone out and air nortons i havent tried yet
Fgn j custom
7 string wasnt too bad just i had to get use to 26.5 scale
yea i thought abt those sugi builts but those are expensive
About double the price 
I think we’ve sold about 7-10 of them in 3 years
i went from a 25’5 scale to 27-25’5 multiscale
it was difficult to even play basic things
Yea but they are nice but price too much
I can't play multiscale it bothers me aesthetic and feel wise💀
Their price is reflective of the quality you get tbh. They’re THE end all Ibanez
it just takes some time to get used to
Ight u convinced me that'll be one of my purchases✊️
After this I must obtain all ibanezes
An FGN j custom really doesn’t compare tbh
It's okay I'll own every range

@lethal jewel that dean Gordon mirus but in that pink sprakle I posted
That would be a yes
What do we think of these strings?
I think youl find thats an individual
lmao all good I wasnt sure if you were asking about the brand or what but thought id put my joke in
But yeah im looking at .080 stings
all seriousness im not too sure
Ive only just got a bass and its in drop A/standard (5 string)
what tuning are you going for?
because thatll depend on the guage
I meant the picture to be for a guitar and im looking at around B
I mean ive been playing guitar for maybe like 3 years and ernie ball are decent
but your looking at bass strings
you need guitar strings
Yeah that was an error on my end
although I personally preffer d'addario or if I cant get em elixir optiwebs
and thats after trying which I prefer more
I feel d'addario if you can spend the money for them feel better to play but ernie balls are decent all rounders and not too expensive
you dont want an 80 guage tho
what guitar do you have/if you know the scale length
24.75
right yeah okay
I have a 25.5 I think so not too different
still to put it in perspective my 25 scale is in drop C and uses 10-52 strings
so you do not want 80 guage at all
so I reckon a 54 would do, or possibly a 56
but im no expert
so if really unsure is there any music shops near you they are normally happy to point you the right way
Would “Not even slinky” work?
the 12-56?
Yeah
yeah they would, although like I ssay im not an expert
so it mighht end up being tight
like I say I have 10-52 on my charvel and thats in drop C
not charvel, ESP LTD other ones in drop D
have you treied doing a few google searches theres some information on guages, scale lengths and tension out there
I have a jackson so I think they’ll fit
what tuning it is in now
Its in B rn
drop B?
Yeah
Im not the first owner so idk
any way you can contact them
Nope
just because like I say im not sure if the 56 will be too thick and have too high tension
They feel like stock strings tho
nah not in drop B
is there any shops near you?
Nope other than a Guitar Center
I mean worth a pop in
im sure you could ask for advice there
maybe even take it in so they can look
I mean im from the Uk so we dont have guitar centre but assuming its like most shops here they could help
ohhhh hell yeah
Found a young custom company with nice prices, now I'm thinking about saving up for their guitar
it looks sick
ohhh nice
This one is now being sold for 1900
nah 30 to 28 is scale is crazy
Huge baby
Brought a new guitar. 2018? Schecter E-1 Standard. Need to set it up and clean it up. Should I paint it and add a second volume for the neck pickup?
Keep the two knob layout and finish
I seccond keeping the 2 knobs... It might just be that I keep volume on max, but if anything I'd be removing knobs more than adding them. Assuming that's a 3 way switch, if you just don't want the neck pickup playing, switch it so it just doesn't use the neck pickup 🤷♂️ .
I know its a me problem, but why do the chords sound so shit? Any clue on how to improve?
this is default gojira btw
I've been struggling far too long
It could be a fair few things
Its in tune and but it does the same thing with a capo
then again, its a cheap capo
- check your gain on your actual interface
- check your input gain on the plugin
they could make the signal muddy - tone and volume on guitar
- what guitar is it, the pickups could be making a problem
- mess with EQ and see if you can get it clearer
and last could be technique your using
capo wont make a difference
I mean it doesnt sound like its that far away from being good
it sounds reasonably in tune it just ounds like the tones a bit muddy and unclear
Sounds like your guitar signal is just fucked.
Though I can tell by my phone speaker
I mean from my list id imagine its signal being distorted
possibly through input gain and whatnot
and thats from my studio monitors
I think it's the pickups or something to do with the guitar
also bear in mind it was an MP3 so already compressed quality
I'm trying to test things but
- Gain all the way done with the instrument button turned on, if I turn the gain up it will peak in the interface. its a scarlet solo.
It could be that it's clipping true
Yea...
yeah
and wheres your gain set on the actual interface
The instrument button boosts my signals to much lol I can't use it
if its too high and your light is turning orange/red that wont help
It clips the shit out of my guitar
I always have it on
I would if it didn't clip
but my gain is at about just above 1/4
and it sits comfortably at the top of the green
perfectly fine for home demos n shit
It stays right in the green and never peaks for me
I hit my interface so hard with my strat idk why it's just slamms the interface.
Pollymath pickup doing work
How about in the plugin any clipping?
could be that
sometimes my DAW clips when I use my sim (STL amp Hub)
and it takes a while to get it to work nicely sometimes
My standalone will clip even sometimes
Its the same story on two different guitars which is why I'm a bit worried about technique. This is an Ibanez RG421QM, and the other one is a epiphone les paul special.
The plugin isn't clipping at all either, its just the default gojira set at 0.0
Record yourself playing
Play the strings all open don't mute or anything as well
Does it sound good?
Also is your upload rate decent?
It could be to high of a sample rate
small sidenote was just attacking dimarzio locking straps to two of my guitars, lost one of the spare screws turns out it was just stuck to the pickup magnet on my charvel
Lmao
attaching*
Buffer is 48, sample is 44100, 48 kills my pc
How about your Daws sample rate and your interfaces?
They all match?
But try this too
yea, FL just uses your asio, and everything matches.
let me turn down my input on gojira
-10 zero change
other than quiter
somehow open sound more like going through a shredder
i turn down the gain nothing changes either
just farts
I think he meant make a video
to show your technique
and rate the setup just got the bass 2 days ago
just put the 2 black straps on
can you show us a picture of the amp setup (or digital or whatever), the EQ settings and also the 'cab' mic placement
I could try FL and gojira tonight
you also have to bear in mind these pre-made tones are made for equipment, guitars and extras that you do not have or use
and will be made on more powerful processing systems
so when they come pre loaded ready for use theyll always need a tweak
I'm not sure about an actual video, I'm not too comfortable with that. I was trying to do it but basically chickend out.
and depending on your equipment more
have you tired turning that EQ off
since its just sat flat anyway
and is there any boost or distortion or anything in your chain? other than the amp
nope all of the extra stuff is off
have you messed with the bass/mids.and high
turned of the eq barely any change.
maybe even try the presence and depth
I mean I know its a different amp sim but I found the same
then I made this tone and its a decent one for home use
try making a new tone from scratch
dont use any pre existing one and see where you get to
alright
even the one I made there that I use the most isnt perfect
I made it in about 5 minutes when messing with stuff and just havent needed to sit and carve a proper tone yet
It seems like gojira just makes really harsh tones no matter what
Nah
Shouldn't
have you tried adding an EQ onto the track your using to record
because it doesnt always sound the same tracking through the standalone compared to the DAW
also try double tracking if your not over the one track, might help might not
I think I'm gonna pick this up later, I'm not making progress and I had stuff I was supposed to do.
Sorry yall
Timing was shit but other than that is there anything I’m doing wrong?
@lethal jewel
Need your professional opinion 
really nice and clean sweeping
only the timing was i little bit off
jazzy ahh lick
Can I please have that pattern or the tabs of what you play?
Oh I'd like to see it, I need to start training sweeps and I like your pattern
I just remembered that the sweeps in the song are slightly different and kinda weird, so here are both ig
Thanks✨
No problem
Well... I got my White Whale of basses yesterday. LTD FL-204, now discontinued Frédéric Leclercq signature model
The LTD MT-I in Obsidian Metallic finish features set-thru construction at 25.5” scale, a mahogany body with white ash top, a three-piece maple neck, Macassar Ebony fingerboard with compound radius and 24 medium-jumbo stainless steel frets, a Graph Tech Black TUSQ XL nut, Hipshot Grip-Lock locking open gear tuners, Hipshot Hi-Mass hardtail bridg...
you're late to the party
I know. I saw everyone in Agu freaking out.
locked in on sweeps
Wild💀
still needs a massive amount of practice tho
Bro cooked me without even knowing it
It's true, you're cool if you could reach such a level, I hope someday I can do the same
just put it the hours and you will get really good very quickly
during summer apart from going to the gym i stay home and i practice
Can you recommend me a couple of exercises?
Not specifically on sweeps, but rather in general
for economy picking/ alternate picking
i just play 3 notes per string patterns
for some time
I don’t do any excersises strictly
most of my techniques i learned when playing songs
when i find something difficult i just practice it for some time
It's true, sometimes it's hard to sit still for a long time doing one thing
Hell ya
The LTD RZK-III is the newest signature model for Richard ZK, the legendary co-founder and lead guitarist for Rammstein. Beginning with the smooth, flowing curves of the Phoenix body shape, the RZK-III is being offered in a classy Olympic White finish with an RZK graphic on the back of the body and black binding on the body, neck, and headstock....
Woo-hoo my boi Richard Z!
I have a 3 note per string exercise if you want
Yes please
Thank you, I'll watch it after school
Look through it a lot of neat tricks
Thanks ✨
Mother of fuck i need to go checkout this guys playing
"I haven't played this in years"

good effort tho
three bastards sweeps lol
its hard af tho
i need a lot of practice on this one
Can we trade my alternate picking skills for your sweeping skills?
I'd be open to trading my lack of skills for your alternate picking skill 😝
Sobs
The sweep in the solo for Death roll by Wage war is not too hard, it goes over 5 stings but it's quite short and your hand kinda just stays in the same spot but the main thing that makes it difficult is that it's played quite fast.
What's the best way to learn the technique? Like exercises or whatnot

I don't really know, I just kept repeating untill I got it... but I stopped before getting it up to speed
This is by far one of my most favourite picking styles
I try to abuse the living shit out of it lmao
I'm currently learning a sweep now, there's a short sweep in the Tornado of souls solo.
@lethal jewel Thoughts on learning this?
🤯 That sounds awesome
It is amazing and for me a lot easier then sweep picking idk why
thats just a fancy name for economy i thibk
but if nit
it seems like a fun challange
thats it im putting down the guitar
sounds great dude
it needs a ton of work
i’ll post a cleaner version later
its a hard one
No it's not
Economy picking is following the picking direction and not following just the up down up down pattern.
It's hybrid picking (using the pick plus your fingers) and sweeping together.
i will look into it
You gotta jts a crazy

Let's talk about wtf is going on in this alternate Schecter universe, and how this Schecter US...
@lethal fractal i think i am pretty close to playing three bastards intro
i need like a week
Swee(p)t can't wait to hear it fully
i am planning to do a lot of really good covers
so i can post them on my ig
i'll def do three bastards intro
i will do 2 archspire solos
and one blotted science solo
then maybe i'll post something that i made
Sounds like a great plan, hope you can get it done
winter break is coming and i will have a ton of time to do them perfectly
Amazing
got one solo down for
my setlist lol
Every time my bro plays I get even more surprised
That's all you need, just find a second guitarist who will play Dun Dun and that's it
i need alternate picking now
and more sweeps
for more infant annihilator covers lol
I need to learn everything💀
I can't say that I'm good at anything
But I can say that I hardly practiced, I just started recently
practice practice practice
i started out by learning songs i liked
Yes, I'm trying now and learning songs and trying to do exercises and study theory
I play in a death metal band so I learn the songs that our drummer gives me
niceeee
when i started i didnt learn theory at all
i still dont know shit about it
Canon Death sentence-Deathklok
Slayer-Angel of death
Suicidal angels -Bloodbath
Satyricon-Mother north
Black crow on a tombstone
I'm learning these now
I just started, so far I've only learned the notes and how to build scales lol
i dont know most of them
lol
i was never into this type of music
I didn't know either until he sent them to me lol
He is more of a classic metalhead, while I prefer newer bands and genres
hell yeah
i started with ichika nito
thats why i bought an electric guitar
then i played some van halen
and megadeth
Wild start💀
then some cob
But yeah I love Ichika
and then went full infant annihilator
Right now I like sleep token, archspire, vildhjarta and mirar the most
But there are many other bands too
I'm afraid their songs are too much for me for now haha
I won't be able to play them
Nah, I believe in you (:
Thank you, but what is beyond my power is beyond my power
I Need to exercise more
even now they are out of my reach
only their older stuff
I wish I could exercise at least 2 hours a day
me too
but school takes a lot of my time
I just can't force myself to exercise for that long
I excercise 30min a day… then for noodle 3 more hours a day
hell nah
me too lol
Do you noodle to a metronome/backing track?
Something to keep tempo?
Hi Conik, you are just what I need
Can you please send me new material for my training? What should I learn?
Sometimes to random YouTube jam tracks, sometimes I just play over songs but most of the time it’s just me playing it without anything.
Just be careful not having anything can burn into muscle memory...
🤷♂️, I’m just making random riffs and power chords
For sure it can start hurting your timing especially on triplets and 16th notes at faster tempos so just if you notice it
When I’m practicing songs or techniques I play with a metronome
But for just playing random shit when I’m bored, I don’t

Which one would you guys recommend more for Neural DSP plugins controlling?
I think you need a quad cortex for that
Ive seen both used with simply pc plugins
And a yt ndsp video whats like 5-8 yrs old with the behringer
Oh ok
What guitar wires and pedals would u guys suggest for like metalcore and Deathcore playing?
A good high gain amp and maybe a ts808
Keep the gain down on the amp
For cables use any reliable cables like Ernie balls but also have replacements for every cable
I got a new cable now yeah
Cos I’ve had this shit one for so long
I’ll probs order the pedals in Feb some point
I only got like a champions 20 fender lmk recommendations tho
I cant wait for this shit to release
Best budget 7string guitar right now?
fortin sigil + fortin hexdrive = some really fucking nice tones
Aristides 07
Does anyone know what cable is used to plug into the USB port of a marshall code 50?
One of the Ibanez Gios imo
They’re cheap, an Ibanez and a decent mod platform
thats true
but sorry i didnt specify the budget more
i meant something around like
400-900 eur
range
Ah
If thats the case the Jackson JS series king V with some pickups and or other upgrades
oh that seems rad ngl, though i must admit i absolutely hate V's 😭
at least theyve always been mega uncomfortable to me and not the most aesthetically pleasing
yeah if your budget is over $3k I guess
Yep
there are budget SS shape Jackson 7s as well
my current guitar is the Jackson DKAF7 soloist it’s about $900 CAD new, multi scale, & overall I really enjoy it
yea true
what do you guys thinnk about the
cort kx507 tho?
Perhaps the X series Dinky Arch top
LMFAO
I have literally never heard of this before
I personally wouldn’t get one because im not a fan of those tops but if that’s your style then thats all you man, go with what you like
oh i see
Looks like the got good parts though so they probably play like a dream
ive been playing for like
3 years
and im not sure
what you mean by the top
LMFAO
do you mean like
the contours?
if theyre like flat or rounded out/arched
of the body
Top is referring to the body work like the “paintjob”
ohh
i see
yea rn looks are like more of a secondary thing im going for when choosing the instrument
but i must admit
i am in love with
this finish
Its not bad at all
a cort 7string for like 749EUR
with fishman fluence moderns
and locking tuners
Yeah its got some great parts
yessir
the 6 reviews on thomann also say its a great instrument
lmao
and it has a fairly decently big scale length
which is nice on 7strings, no?
Yes
so far ive found the cort to be the best option in this price range ngl
regarding price and specs
ok go for that then
I agree, if you fuck with it then go for it
hell yeah, cheers guys, appreciate the help 🙏
No problem at all, shred on brother
Im probably gonna get myself a 7 string soon as well, this shit is gorgeous
Jackson surfcaster X series, not out yet but it’ll release around spring
oh and 1 thing what i noticed is that it has fanned frets, is it like very different to get used to id imagine?
bros gonna go straight for the new release 🤑
I have no idea what fanned frets are like to play, im a les paul guy and shit
Its only like $600 to which is surprising
Im hoping the Lee Malia surfcaster comes out soon as well
thats real, also own a LTD EC-1000
oh it really is
🙏 prayin, shit looks rad ngl
i see you enjoy jacksons
Yeah, love the necks
I play an ibanez for my bass and a Jackson SC Monarkh for guitar
thats rad
never really got behind jacksons or ibanezes personally
though i did cop my friend's old ibanez gio strat for 50 eur
💀
and it has a very nice thin neck
Yeah, the cheaper end Ibanez’s can either have the thinest fuckin neck or the fattest
Yeah the purple burst is crazy, and the seamline in the middle aintbthat visible
Yeah such a different look for single cuts
is the TS9 a good OD pedal?
any other suggestions lmk
Tryna have like a tighter better sounding low end

silly question but is there an AI or software that can translate songs into tabs
i really want to learn this one song and noone has covered it yet lol
Idk just ask chat GPT for tabs.
There definitely is, I just don't know any but many websites use AI now
Songsterr AI is hit or miss, but I've used it before to get rough drafts for tabs (of course I then revise it until it sounds right to me)
I'd say if the tab doesn't have a lot of harmonies in the riffs/solos then it'd probably be pretty accurate, since that's what it struggles with most
Theres an AI program that can delayer a song and then you could probably use what you want to learn and put it through songster AI
can it do any song or is there keywords it needs
You just put in a youtube link for the song and it tries it's best
yea, it usually kinda gives you the root notes and like the note lengths if it can
but it doesnt give any palm mutes, hammer ons or anything
those you need to figure out yourself
but it can miss very hard as well, even with the tuning
depending on the song and the mix
Hey, could someone please tell me if the solo to the song "The Migrant" by Shadow of Intent has a harmony guitar or something during some parts of the solo? I've been learning the solo and it sounds like there's another guitar at parts (also if there is, I don't know what it's playing because there's no tabs for it and my ear is terrible)
Not super familiar with the tabs but Chris loves harmonizing solos with 3rds
So either moving the playing up or down 3 scale degrees is probably it
is there any way to get tabs for Nik`s songs?
Theres a few on songster i believe
yeah but not the ones i want to play and some tabs are pretty bad or not complete

Ho-ly shit. Head is back with Ibanez.
So glad I didn't have my amp on had my phone on full blast would have blow my eardrums lmao
GUYS
i might get my hands on a schecter keith merrow km7 mk3 artist L
HOLY
FUCK
IM SO HYPED
Nice
Do any of you nerds have any experience with purple plectrums?
I'm looking to get some and just want them all lmao
@balmy vortex you being all fancy do you have any experience?
As in the colour it is that actually a brand
It's a brand
we only really use tortex picks at work
For sure, i got a gift card to buy some purple plectrums as they are some amazing picks
hey does anyone have experience with sweetwater
I got some what's up?
do they usually call to inform you about you order or something?
cause I won a guitar from one of Nik's giveaways during the annual awards stream but I haven't received any mail
so my next best guess was maybe a phone call cause I just checked and got one like 2 or 3 days after that from the UK but I missed that one
Is there any other difference between the LTD MH-1000 and the LTD M-1000HT besides that the MH has a Floyd Rose and looks a bit different and is a newer model/produce? Which one is the better one if we don't think about the floyd rose preference in yalls' opinion? Or if there are any guitars what are the same price and are similar but even more worth it?
@balmy vortex Sorry for another ping I am looking to get a custom neck made for my strat and was wondering if you could answer some questions?
Also planning to get it made by Warmoth not sure if you have any idea if they are good or bad.
i do not
Alright.
Right now I am stuck on what to choose for the neck back profile to many options.
Standard Thin
Boatneck
Fatback
59 Roundback
Clapton
SRV
Wizard
Wolfgang
D
Those are all my neck options and just wonder if any of them are flatter then the Wizard if you know?
As well I am going with Wenge neck with Macassar Ebony fretboard... As well what in your opinion is the best neck radiuses? I have it set to a 12-16 currently.
i doubt it
dont go wenge
go maple
as for radius, go 12"
Really? Does it matter what type Birds eye, flamed...?
just go either regular or flamed maple, which ever you like more
wenge has a mid range i really dont like
sounds good thanks
ebony board is always a good choice tho
I kinda copy pasted aron marshalls neck with the fretboard and neck lol
How about 9
Yea for sure this company has some crazy stuff randomly found them seems like a whole comunity of people that get custom guitars off them
Finish whats best out of these
Clear satin nitro
Clear gloss
Vintage tint satin nitro
vintage tint gloss
clear satin nitro
also bare wood...
Cool well now its the question of do I buy this neck as it isn't cheap 
Any other neck woods you would recommend these guys have 16 options so if theres anything that might be better im open to it
maple is the best imo
Final thing to bug you with, do you have much input on LSL guitars?
no
alright, thanks!

also @lethal jewel a really good alternate Picking course in my opinion is the one from Amar Alhoch if you wanted something to look into.
Is it free?
Sadly no
Hell nah
i mean i got my own aproach to learning alternate picking
Very fair
i gotta lock in on alternate picking and sweeps
cause i will be playing Archspire and Infant annihilator live
lol
it seems that i will be playing live four times this year
https://youtu.be/yUNMhiCcc2E?si=DIspVhUZaOLyLDOB
Here's a bare bones video lol
This a compilation of my recent alternate picking shorts that were quite popular. I'm very happy they were helpful to soany people!
Full length in depth lessons on alternate picking are on my Patreon covering everything you need to develop your picking technique:

Oh ya I absoutly love him I Ordered one of his picks ATM
Few weeks for it to arrive
I know this is a weird question but im looking for satin paint coated picks because they feel the best in my hand, anyone know where to get some?
I mean tortex has satin finished plastic picks.
They aren't painted though
Plenty of these guys picks have a rough texture and you can always ask for them to hand sand a pick to have it be rougher
I like something like this, so I can see the wear easily and it grips nice
It came with a fender X Teufel speaker I got
Just buy the packs of those then.
https://perris.ca/products/6-pack-ac-dc-official-licensing-variety-pack-guitar-picks
These are pretty much the same thing, you can look into the company find some you like but if that's what you like... those guys make them.
6 Pack Of AC/DC Official Licensing Variety Pack Celluloid Guitar Picks. AC/DC started their dynamite career in Sydney, Australia in 1973. In 1980 they released their iconic Back in Black album, which became their best selling album with over 50 million copies sold. Their energetic stadium rock anthems like Hell's Bells

All good, haha.
No worries tank you for all the work you out for posting fun stuff
Yeee.
Honestly, I like hanging out here a lot more nowadays than in the Agufish server.
It's pretty chill in here.
It sure is, i find it a bit to chill not many people that can be incredibly nerdy about stuff but it's definitely chill.
I like being dumb dumb nerdy yet still chill haha
I can get pretty autistically nerdy in like 0.5 seconds.
