This is my current set-up. All my rack units, simu class etc are all locked up. Looks so simple but everything to the cords are premium quality and the sound is amazing. I am just using 1 cab atm, the second one I have given to a friend to try out. I used to have 4 of them. Transporting this set-up is a dream too.

I had a some motivation a few years ago to sort of set something up for youtube--you probably can recall--but that's dead in the water.
Labrie's vocals are worse that nails grinding on a chalk board now. I think they started to down tune their songs too?

Not going to lie, I wasn't really taken back by LTE's third album. There are some good moments but they seemed to rehash a lot of structure they did in the past. I think it was a more mellow album, but it just for me lacked those few songs that had memorable hooks. Acid Raid, Universal Mind etc I can hum the hooks. Third album seemed to feel like it was all the same tempo/structure for every song, like a full improve jam. Which still doesn't make it bad, but the first two albums for me were much better.

Guitar bros...
Have played for 30 years (old misc) and looking to get back into it and buy an electric. Got rid of all my old ones except a nice Taylor acoustic. Looking at what I consider decent guitars but not nice just for hobby playing.
I am comfortable with an LP or SG studio/tribute type guitar. Have owned many a Gibson.
Point of post is wondering if anyone has experience with the lower end PRS SE guitars? Back in the day played many higher end PRS guitars and was blown away but wondering if anyone has played the cheaper versions and your thoughts verse cheaper Gibsons.
Thanks!

Stitches are coming out of my finger in the next couple of days so hopefully I'll be able to play again. Luckily there isn't any numbness on the underside only on the top and side of it. I'm hoping that the feeling all comes back but even if it doesn't it shouldn't effect my playing with where it is

[QUOTE=rollerball]If anything having that bald dome helped differentiate JS from the rest of the 80s shredders. Thank goodness for that since his alternate picking "technique" sure wasn't gonna do it.
edit: I *have* to toss in a lame JS technique joke whenever I reference him.[/QUOTE]His picking technique was never an issue for me. Sense of melody, songwriting, and rock solid intonation on bends and vibrato made up for it.

I didn't know that.
There was a big 'music theory' or 'recording' originals thread too....IIRC.
I guess that one didn't make the transfer.

Have a great weekend all.

after 2+ years of looking, I decided to give up looking for an EBMM JP in my favorite color... instead, since my black one has a few dings anyways, I figured I might as well refinish and save a couple of thousand bucks. contacted a local shop with ex-Larrivee workers and they'll do a green sparkle finish for $550. Sounds about right for a professional job?

What's been up brehs? Haven't played in like 6months+ lol, moved to another country and just kind of stopped playing and writing.. However, recently got the itch again and bought a new guitar. Tried a chitload of them, was gonna go with the Schecter nick Johnston sig (the cheaper one) which was amazing.. Then dude told me to try these, brand I never heard of from Canada called Godin.. Played and legit within 5 seconds I was like u wot m8?? wtf is this magic.. and got it.. Didn't even google them or anything before buying which was a bit stupid but I don't regret the decision..Also got a cheap epiphone classical guitar..

Picked up a standard yamaha acoustic to learn to play on. Zero experience before this, using Yourguitaracademy.com and youtube videos atm.
C chord is driving me crazy boyos. I swear to fuk my ring finger bends differently, I can't get it to look anything like people have on videos. When I bend my ring finger it curves towards my middle finger which seems completely different than everyone is showing me in videos.
Ah well, currently just learning to switch between a couple chords. Long fuking road ahead of me.

I quit playing again for awhile to but just recently have been picking it up again. Right now I'm trying to learn how to actually play Far Beyond the Sun but tbh it might be beyond my ability to really sound convincing, those licks never really seem to sound as fluid coming from my hands.

How are your skills after you picked it up again? Rusty or got back into it fast? I feel like for writing my brain got refreshed and I got all these ideas but my fingers are chit and can't keep up, usually when I take a break it takes like 2 weeks to get back and then I make crazy gains.. I always level up to new heights in the following months of taking long breaks

For anyone that is a more casual player ('m not looking to bust massive solos) how often/how long do you practice?
Any Practice habit advice?
Any tips for chord switching? I'm working on a very simple progression right now. Am > D > Em.
I have the finger placement memorized, but switching between them on beat just seems hopeless, particularly Am > D, like god damn my fingers just don't do it.. I know eventually with time I'm gonna get it, but it's discouraging sometimes. Any tips that helped you bros out?
What's interesting is my friend is also trying to learn guitar, and his problem is strumming patterns, which I have zero issue with. Like when he switches chords he fuks up his pattern, where as I keep the pattern fine but fuk up the finger placement on the chord or simply don't move fast enough.

Any Practice habit advice?
Any tips for chord switching? I'm working on a very simple progression right now. Am > D > Em.
I have the finger placement memorized, but switching between them on beat just seems hopeless, particularly Am > D, like god damn my fingers just don't do it.. I know eventually with time I'm gonna get it, but it's discouraging sometimes. Any tips that helped you bros out?
What's interesting is my friend is also trying to learn guitar, and his problem is strumming patterns, which I have zero issue with. Like when he switches chords he fuks up his pattern, where as I keep the pattern fine but fuk up the finger placement on the chord or simply don't move fast enough.
No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.

Chord changes are nothing but practice, LOTS of it. Took me weeks of practicing 15-20 minutes every day just to switch between open shapes without taking too long. It's something you automatically work on when you learn nearly any song though, so once you have the basics down and keep learning other things you will only get better at it.
Imo switching chords on beat and barring chords are the litmus tests of whether you'll enjoy learning guitar... if you can tough it out to nail these, you're good to learn most other guitar techniques.

Here's a vid of another one of my chitty attempts at eruption. It's just okay and I totally run out of juice again during the tapping section - one of the things EVH was able to do among the many things he was able to do was play tons of muscular stamina. By the time I get to that part of the piece it's really hard for me to tap that part with good tone and speed for that long a period of time - although my string gauge/tension might also be at play here.
You got any vids of your recent compositions?
