What Are You Working On Right Now?

I love this guy!

I love this guy!

Yep! He's got great parents!

Ok, I wanna hear the version w/o all the over-the-top/sub-harmonic sound effects.

 

[TSJMajesty]

Picked up something new from Ben Eller-

The 2 nps lick that starts Don't Stop Believin... Ben suggests playing just 2 notes, then just 3, then just 4, then 5, etc., as opposed to practicing the entire thing w/ a metronome, and gradually increasing the tempo.

I've actually used that method, biting off real small chunks of Petrucci licks like this from Innocence Faded:

Just practicing the triplets by themself, then adding the "landing note," getting that up to speed, before trying to string it all together. It is helpful.

Tremolo part of Money, yeah its really simple but not so simple to make it sound like the recording

@DrewJD82 would probably know what gear he used, and in what order....

Yes he already helped me out on that, the man has Gilmour DNA
I did not have issues for the lead parts both the wet solo part and the dry solo parts
But ill get it ...eventually

Sticking out too much?

Sticking out too much?

There seems to be a missing Factor maybe gain and some delay
and the Decay is too long for the Hard trem, last too long

The decay is what’s giving me the hunch he’s plugged into a fuzz and has the volume knob turned down. The drop off is too quick to be a guitar with the volume knob on 10. There could be a quick tape echo on there, almost doing a slapback thing.

Stellar advice. I don't think any of the giants back in the day (Page, Gilmour) were not not
using their volume on their guitar as a gain control. Especially in backing/supporting parts.

Tone is in the Riding of the Volume Knob !!

Ugh, I booked myself for two shows at once that are full of old Irving Berlin and Gershwin stuff.

If you've never played stuff from that era, it’s a PITA sometimes. Fast tempos, tons of chords, complex harmonizations/voicings, key changes and modulations everywhere, nothing is diatonic... It’s a ton of work and the guitar is always so buried nobody can hear you anyway

 

[TSJMajesty]

I did hardly anything this entire weekend..., except woodshedding!

I think I picked up a couple bpm on the harder stuff I've been working on (Innocence Faded definitely got a little faster), and focused on sextuplets mostly, with an emphasis on some chromatic licks. My ascending hasn't been sync'd very good, so I dialed everything way down, and only went up 1 bpm each time, but only when it was perfect, and totally comfortable. Like, no tension at all. And it paid off, because on the couple tries @ twice my practice speeds, I could tell the notes were getting much more accurate!

I hardly put the guitar down at all, while at home, and even played all through the night Saturday evening.

I'm so glad this doesn't bore me in the least, because I'm still making progress, albeit slowly. But that's ok.

I actually hate having to stop to go to sleep!

Damn, I just played another hour-and-a-half! I have to go to bed! But when I'm getting better at something, I just don't want to STOP!

I didn't quit Saturday night until 5 am Sunday! (Probably why I'm still at it right now!)

Ugh, I'm gonna be tired tomorrow, er, later today.

At least I have a sympathetic musician for a boss. Most Monday mornings he goes, "Did you play that new guitar all weekend?"

"You have to ask?"



I really need to record some stuff and post it.

Thats awesome Tom, and of course the most important part is that your enjoying your time playing
As for me was a weekend with hardly no woodshedding. 10 Hour Work day Saturday and 12 Hour Chores Day Sunday

I expect a lot of Strum and Pick Syncing out of you, Met.

I live alone, have to do everything by myself, and also take care of my Mom
and her Residence, and even I don't need to work no stinking 12 hour Chore Day.

WTF?

Do I need to come over and have a chat with the Mrs.??
