Re: Taylor or Martin or? (19 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
I just bought a Tak, I love it. also the type of strings can have a big effect on the sound, if you can get Ernie Ball Earthwoods, they have that smoky woody sound, some oare brighter than others.

I have been working on this riff for a while, and finally put some of it down, two diff versions of same thing, but one is a little better with the feel and the lead licks.

Re: Drummers And Guitarists: It's Time To Talk (12 replies, posted in Bands and artists)
BILL,
Ok you know this is coming from the Metalizer, so keep in mind, I am not sure which thump you are referring to, but in my kind of heavy rock (really getting going in the 80s and fwd) speed metal is very attached to the drums. My youngest showed me this just last night, I have to admit that this band had to grow on me, but it is the drummer and guitarist from LAMB OF GOD. here they work hand in hand. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hw7zYploBLc
hope you like it (no screaming vocals).

Re: Thumb Picks (19 replies, posted in Acoustic)
GROW THAT THUMB NAIL and clear coat the heck out of it for strength. I bet my ceramic coat would be amazing. My son, whom I have mentioned, has taken to growing his right hand nails for guitar. I dont mind, but told him he needs to let mom file and shape them.

Re: messing around in basement (3 replies, posted in Electric)

Re: Outdoor Generators? (9 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
Never saw any reply as to what the outcome of this was, I looked into a generator for back up power, You can saw what you want but the 2 big ones from Harbor freight get really reliable ratings and one guy , if you are to believe the long write up he did, said he is an engineer and tested the power coming out of the one he had and said it stays pretty clean. Harbor Freight stuff is a good deal if you do your research on the reviews and listen to the ones that seem to repeat (like "Use of STA-BIL in the gas is a must if not running very often" "get the wheel kit" and "starts great on 1st or second pull, but battery would be nice too")
They can power houses pretty good with the pigtail to the main, and you cant beat the cost of them either. look for the sales.

Re: VIRTUAL CAMPFIRE (17 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
What Amy said! I had to just delete the thing out of my computer and re-download it. I have also ran my Studio mic into my mixer and into the puter, but running one direct will work also with a adapter from 1/4 to 1/8th to the mic jack or if you have a USB mic it will pick it up, look in your skype sound settings to choose which one you want it to run with.
I will probably use camera mic but sing through my effects boxes into the monitor cab I have (No auto tune for me, so anything to enhance my voice!)
Most webcams have built in mics, they are good enough for this purpose.So if we are looking at 4pm my time, this Saturday is definitely out, I have a big detail paint correction job, however IF I get done in time, I can just text whoever in a mass text and let them know. Sunday is probably out as the job I am doing wont start till "after church" for the customer, so 12ish to 1ish for a start time, my hope is 2.5 hours, but usually its about 4 (this is a free one they won, so not a DEEP clean, more of a spritzing.)
So, even If I asked for your numbers in the past (Amy, Jeff, and Z) if everyone can Private Message me either from the Chordie mail or FB, I can send a mass text. By God we can make this happen
My camera in the man cave shoots to a nice corner with the drums in it. We may have noise of BATTLEFIELD WW1 going on in the back as my boys are plenty addicted to it right now LOL. They have headphones they can use, maybe they will even join in. Cade wont sing though, Cory may start beating the drums. We shall see.
OK get the numbers to me and I will just keep in mind that 3 to 5 is the best window from my time zone.

Yep. Stomp boxes can produce some great vocal effect. After all, it's the same stuff in a PA.

Topic: General Ramblings (4 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Friday night, got home from work, about 11:00, youngest son was still up, tried to watch something with him, but was blinking out. to bed around probably 12:30 or so. Woke up at 5 AM, and had a nice morning reading, and chilling with my wife. So whats this to do with anything? Nothing LOLOL just felt like putting a blog type post up, YET in so doing we made a few steps further to making the house a home. Primary Objective - Get the blinds my wife had made (etsy in canada, i think), and have been siting in the middle of the floor for 3 months, up in the man cave. At first I was not sure it was a good fit, nor did I like the area rug that is down here, but after we got everything up, and cleaned up, Well even though we still have some stuff to do, IT LOOKS WAY BETTER!. Even the rug is grown on me LOL.
On a musical note, I hooked up my Mic to a little amp and ran it through my tow stomp pedals (compressor and digital delay). it really sounds good, nice balance between the delay sounding too delayed, and sorta fakes a reverb
. So I have started practicing my vocals for the Song of the month.
Ok well just wanted to ramble LOL
