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

[DrewJD82]

There's a CTS push/pull out there too that looks pretty solid. Something to chew on I suppose.

EDIT: I meant push/pull, not push/push!

Can you link it . I haven’t seen it yet.

Yeah I've only seen the push pull cts.

The last time I ordered a solderless kit from Mad Hatter I requested a push/push pot so I could just whack the volume knob instead of trying to grip it after reaching my arm over the bridge/bar to get to it (I do not understand PRS switch placement AT ALL) He uses CTS pots in everything, but I’m guessing due to the way it’s written here, the push/push’s aren’t CTS. I asked my buddy who I sold that guitar to to open up the control cavity and snap a pick of the pots for me because I’m curious now.

I’ll never use a push/pull again, being able to just smack the knob is such a faster/easier experience.

Yesterday was the second time in a month that I’ve gotten perturbed by something and was able to actually put the energy into music where I felt the end resul benefited and would have been quite different had I not been perturbed. I generally have to wait until a situation has passed before I can work it into a song, but I was tracking my parts for the last couple songs I have to finish for the band and got to a chorus where I was on the fence about what I was playing, it was like a mouthy “Oh yeah?” feeling that made me want to come up with something better and I did.

I love using octave chords to come up with a melody over a basic 4-chords and the truth chorus. When the chords are just sustained for a measure at a time it makes a perfect bed for something like that and you can superimpose a whole different melody onto a chorus outside of the vocal line with it that carries the chorus over the finish line. The one I pulled out me ass last night added a bit of ‘drama’ to the chorus and tied the whole room together.

Tot day I travelled but this was finally finished yesterday

 

[Ed DeGenaro]

Finished this, as in did the solo...needs mix cleaning.

Working out some more parts for the band, tonight.

Singer told me he wanted me doing some kind of lead work throughout this section-

I've been playing something like this at practice just with far less effects. It's double tracked here and there's an extra track of guitar noises, I'm playing the part in the right channel. They can rarely tell what I'm doing in that room, so it'll be interesting to get their feedback and see how long it is before they tell me to play some shred shit....again.

[Spaced Out Ace]

Probably playing a couple guitars to try out and compare the Origin Effects Revivaldrive Custom to the Origin Effects Revivaldrive Hot Rod Custom.

 

[0XI0]

I thought this tune was going to be a quick and cheerful one to learn.



After three hours I'm like this...

 

[Jazz Padd]

Joined a jazz jam session at one of several regional venues that regularly hold them.

Was able to play on quite a number of tunes, and called Summertime, Beatrice.

Tunes called by others included Have You Met Miss Jones, Caravan, Blue in Green.

I’m playing my 1970s Gibson Johnny Smith into a Fender Tonemaster in the backlkne.

Music is my hobby and I work on tunes for playing at open jams a few times a month.

Do some sweep picking, Drew.. then follow it up with a kick-flip.

 

[Jynx]

Girlfriend is away for a few days so did what I don’t usually get to do.

Played really loudly.

Do some sweep picking, Drew.. then follow it up with a kick-flip.

The sweeps I can do, but the kick flips will most likely cause me to catch a 10.5lb guitar right in the balls.

I saw Phil X do that once, in Las Vegas.

I'd buy tickets to that!
