Does anyone have tips for getting barred notes to ring cleanly on acoustic #guitar, other than low action, light strings, tune down to C#?
Is there a technique? I'm working on thumb position, pausing to check that my hand is relaxed, and trying to fret accurately.
(song: Calling You / Bagdad Cafe. Slow 4-note arpeggios. Maybe I should do the low notes separately, on bass.)
I blew off recording last week, and it feels like I may blow it off again.
I don't know whether I should just find something easy to play.
I often try stuff that's hard for me, and do a version with many mistakes, rather than play something easier, with fewer mistakes.

Well this is even more fun than I thought it would be.
(Torso S-4. Dark, nasty, hard audio coming soon.)
Tidying things up and more isolation
Really great things come just from adding the snake and wireless IEM/self-mixing

New power supply (from Bezos).
It works!
40 preset patches and 40 customizable ones. (I don't know how or how well the memory for those works.)
One sounds like a Dalek. 😀
Mic or instrument in. Some effects sound good with guitar.
Can do stereo out, couple of patches with "PNG" in the name may be ping-pong.
Knobs are gain and eq. Some patches assign time or speed or pitch to the treadle, some use it for mix or volume.

Please advise!
I'm trying to rescue an old DigiTech Vocal 300 Effect Processor.
(seems like Eventide with its LED alpha display and patch names).
It starts acting like it can't read the tone knobs when I take it off bypass.
I've opened it up and nothing seems wrong.
Could it be the power? The supply I have is 500ma; the stock one is 1.3a, 9VAC(?!). I can buy a replacement, but I don't want to throw money away.

I just picked this 4 string Fender Squire Affinity bass up for less than the cost of a single meal at your favorite fast food place.
I'll fix the dings, scratches & paint it and change & set up the electronics (all of which I already have on hand) & then the neck etc, then a $15 set of new strings, and sell it for $150 or more. I just love #guitars

OK Mastodon, here’s one of the looping performances I recorded last month. @Denny #gearsquad #guitar #MusicProduction
I'm new to #Mastodon and I find I'm being followed by some folks who don't post in english but I'd very much like to read their posts.
I've already checked the Mastodon "unofficial" help section and it describes using the 3 dots in the post and click on "translate" but my feed is not showing this.
Any ideas would be appreciated
Thank you

A question for #GearSquad: I have a late 70’s #Fender Twin Reverb combo amp I’m considering selling. Its power amp tubes have had it. Two have gone already, and I don’t think the other two will last long (though it’s demo-able).
If you were buying this amp, would you prefer I replaced the tubes first, or would you rather just do it yourself so you can put the ones you prefer in?
This is a ESP LTD 4 string bass guitar that I originally bought in the 90's it was a black color originally
paint job:
Black base coat with a Createx custom teal blue & purple mix airbrushed over a metallic silver then 8 coats clear coat.
I set it up with a Bad Ass black bridge, Guitar Fetish J pickup and the original P pickup. Electronics were all upgraded as a bone black nut

#gearsquad! I must have messed up earlier, lol. And I'm sure you've figured out by now, but in case you haven't, you can follow hashtags here. So any time anyone uses that hashtag, it'll show up in your timeline if you follow it.
And welcome aboard! That was an absolute sick tele you posted earlier. I'm not usually a huge tele fan (insofar as design is concerned), but I'd make an exception for that.
Here's my homemade ”tele”
For those about to rock, what are your plans? I’m gonna practice performing with loopers, maybe record the results to hear what works and what needs improvement. #MusicProduction #guitar #gearsquad
In the absence of an inbuilt promotion algorithm, discovery is pretty much organic.
Follow people who seem interesting, unfollow the ones that turned out to be less interesting, and follow the interesting ones that come into your timeline through them.
Also, it can be worth following hashtags.
#gearsquad seems appropriate, off the top of my head.
Further suggestions:
- Add links to your Youtube channels to your profile, along with links to where people can find your original music.
- You can pin posts to your profile, so that anybody looking at your profile sees those first. An intro post like this one is a good candidate for doing that.
Lastly: welcome! 😀
When I’m not writing, playing or recording music, I like to pretend I’m a luthier. This was a kit build (not really a luthier) of a Thomann Jazzmaster guitar I finished 1-2 years ago. Plays and sounds better than I ever expected. Also very happy with the paint job, which was done just with aerosol cans.
For the 4 people with Faderport Classic using Bitwig on Linux
I have a Faderport Classic. It's the PERFECT transport device -- small, with only what you need to survive, and fits in my keyboard drawer beside my keyboard and mouse. But alas, it's pretty old-fashioned, and isn't supported in most places. Bitwig has never liked it, even on Windows.
But as of today, it's working with Bitwig on Linux! Here's how to set it up.

Preparing to play my music live: guitar sounds.
Originally I exported my guitar patches for each song from Helix Native to my floor unit, tweaking them as I went. This quickly got tedious and I've realized that in a live setting 90% of the nuances are lost and it's going to be WAY easier if I just dial in good baseline sounds and use them most of the time.

Ahh yes. That's a great photograph: you must have a fantastic camera.

Has anyone done a DOD #DigiTech PDS #pedal foot switch upgrade?
My dog marked my good old PDS 20/20 echo/chorus/flanger and I cleaned the switches out with deoxit stuff, but this time the switches are not coming back.
I have replacement switches from 'Bay, but I'm considering putting in proper footswitches. pins 1&2 and pins 3&4 are connected all the time, and all the pins are connected when I push the button.
