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

[Spaced Out Ace]

I’m Gojira’ing my way through it, I just keep playing “Standed”, “Vacuity” and “Silvera” over and over. There’s enough riff changes without the tempo being too brutal to work me back to good health!

Also, goes without saying, do not over do it. You'll fuck yourself even further.

Sometimes you can’t beat classic, simple tone recipes. This one is tele -> green rhino (TS) -> deluxe.

It’s such a familiar tone, perfect compression, great balance. Add a delay and I could cover a whole set.

Tone is in the ball in a ball.

That's a sweet tele. Love the neck flaming.
I have the MKIV as well, and I agree, it into a clean Fender (twin reverb in my case) with a tele is about all you need.

Are you using the classic mode? I like both but am finding a small bump in the 100hz knob really rounds up the tele nicely. I think I push up the 500hz very slightly as well.

Grossly underrated pedal.

I pretty much always use the mod mode. I do like bumping up the 500hz to about 2:00ish, 100hz around 12:00 but depends on how loud I got the amp going. I'll cut some when needed because the twin can get thumpy on its own.
Classic mode sounds pretty darn close to my stock TS9, although I think the TS9 has just a wee bit sweeter high end presence.

I replaced the tone pots in my SG with push-pull pots so that i can split the pickups. They sound nice split and are noise canceling but the difference in volume is almost unacceptable.

I messed around with my GT1000 Core for about 90 minutes this evening. The delays sound awesome on it, as does the flanger, chorus, and phaser.

Been playing the twin reverb today.

I jammed it in tight into the highest part of the door frame and did chin ups.

I tried my best to write something today and my playing was even worse than usual and I had zero creative spark. I went back to the old idea folder and hated all of those too.

The music gods have spoken today…

Usually, you need to listen to something new and/or something that will inspire you to write something.

Tracked some guitars for a friend, proper mic’ing in the shower cabinet!

Today, it's time for a throw down between my latest acquisition vs old standby.

Asher HT vs JPC AJ

I suspect there can be only one winner.

Hi 5

Hi 5

That could be a good alt-picking exercise for you.

Filling on lead guitar for a gig with a 7+ piece jam/funk band in October. I've sat in with them several times and filled in for a whole show once before, so dusting off what I can remember of their tunes. These shows are always fun as they pull much larger crowds than my own band does lol

I'm a pretty middling lead player so not sure why they keep asking me but I'm not complaining

Because you're reliable? Because they like you? Because you get on with the lot of them? Because you aren't a problem?

Take your pick. It doesn't matter if you can play circles around every one if you're unreliable and shoot yourself in the foot with self sabotage consistently. You can be some that can be depended on with some abilities, or you can be Vinnie Vincent. Sure you might be able to "play" well (taste notwithstanding), but if you're a pain, no one gives a shit. They'd rather someone who is okay over a pain in the ass. Every single time.

Ordered a new pickguard for my Ibanez AZ2204, mint green to go with the aged white plastics for a little more classic look. I've been running a Suhr Thornbucker Plus with a pair of Suhr ML's for a while but will swap back over to Dimarzio Area 61's for a while as the hum is driving me nuts. Also need to hit the pots with some cleaner.

Pickguard will probably take a few weeks to get her from South Korea so will be a fun surprise I guess?
