What Did You Do With Your Guitar(s) Today?

[la szum]

Indeed…..every time I start learning the album version I stop part way in to go learn the PULSE version, remember it for a day then forget it. Maybe I’ll actually learn the full album version.

Apparently, Gilmour never did.

 

[Los-D]

For the first time since the Pandemic, I played guitar for 4 straight days. I haven’t been this happy in years.

 

[la szum]

I'm telling ya.... Music is Life!

More listening to what we love, and playing what we can = a State of Chronic Well Being!

That's awesome, Los-D!

Started working my way through George Benson's Breezin'. Such a great song... Great player.

Finally got around to fitting my kill switch on the RG . I didn’t really want to rout the body so it’s going in the only spot it can without loosing a control.

I’m going to be boring and the black one is going on for now at least.

And the results;

It works great and doesn’t get in the way at all .
If you try a Sanwa button you will immediately get why Buckethead has them, super clean action capable of fast pulses or anything.
I may put the red one in .

Have you learned Wearing the Inside Out solos yet? I feel like that'd be an accomplishment, especially capturing the tone and vibrato in that track.

This is one of my all time favorite Gilmour solos and I’m waiting until I get a Tele to learn it, because I’m 99% certain he used his Workmate Tele on it and I know I’ll be way too concerned with tone chasing to pay attention to the actual parts.

That song is hugely underrated and is easily in my top 10 Floyd tunes.

I randomly started learning Lamb of God’s “Laid To Rest” last night, some tricky riffs for sure, but once I got them under my fingers a bit I found myself starting to sing along as I was playing, which kicked up my “Can I pull this off? itch in regard to singing/playing it at the same time.

It’s these silly competitions I get in with myself that generally drive the most amount of progress forward and I love that giddy feeling I get knowing I’m closing in on a goal, despite knowing I’m going to say “Fuck!” as I screw up about 1,000,000x over the next couple days.

Tryna teach myself to play in some of the weirder modes - like Phrygian Dominant, and have it sound like it makes some kind of sense.

CAGED. Sometimes my brain still messes with the root note (where to find the chord) and that D and G shape can be a pain in the ass.

I don’t really play caged shapes but I use it to see my way around and then substitute the three notes per string shapes on top.

It’s really nice. When you see it , it really “opens up” the fretboard.

I did learn the caged shapes and I play them on my gypsy jazz guitar but three notes per string flows better for me.

We've got a friend from Seattle staying with us for a few days. He'd never played through a valve amp before today. The look on his face when he hit an A chord on my prs into my JVM was priceless, it was properly loud. He's 45, primarily plays acoustic and when he does play an electric it's been into cheap solid state practice amps and lower end modellers, usually into headphones.

Today we just fucked about with different guitars at various gain levels. Tomorrow we start onto pedals.

Grabbed one of them by the neck and thrashed it until it submitted.

For his first play through some real analogue pedals I'm going to take him through

TS808
Klon
OCD
Fuzz Face
Tone Bender Mk1
Big Muff

I'm looking forward to seeing what he thinks of those at close to gig volumes.

Played a bunch of AC/DC riffs with both of my SGs.
