Hehe, but your not allowed to take it home with you. Its my baby ?
NorioDS
I won't want to -- I'm still enjoying my Ibanez TB225.
I'll post pics after Tanya's exams -- so I can have pretty and professional photos ?
cain
Just hear that snobbish comment ? I promise you will want to steal my orange!
NorioDS
Hehe, na dude I don't like stealing other people's stuff -- I'll just go and get my own one!
And I'm not snobbish, it's just true that I've barely even scratched the surface of my Ibz amp. It needs to be played much more and much louder before I get bored and move on ?

Hi Norio,
Can anybody put up tips/trick/lessons in here or do only guitar teachers get to do that? And how about video lessons? I've got some interesting stuff that i'd like to dish out. Especially related to music theory and technique and speed building and improv+phrasing.
Let me know what u think.
Cheers
NorioDS
Arjun,
PLEASE post lessons, videos and more ?
If your lessons are on YouTube, you only need to past the URL in here and the video will automatically be embedded.
Go for it! I can't wait to see your stuff!!
NorioDS
Oh and just create a new thread/topic for each lesson so we can easily follow each individual lesson.
Thanks!

Hi Norio,
Thanks for the info. Will put up loads of stuff shortly. Since, most people on this forum already know their modal theory pretty well, i'll probably take things up a notch and start introducing some f#$ked up scales ? . I'll also discuss various progrock style progressions.
Cheers
Arjun
NorioDS
Arjun, could I appeal to you to post some stuff on modal theory?
The forum's very young and info like that would be like gold to someone just starting out with modes.
But please post the f%cked up scales too ;D
Gray
Will put up loads of stuff shortly
What happened Arjun? Where's the stuff posted? ?
arjunmenon
Sorry Gray, my apologies. Since i have way too much information on the subject (even after much revising and editing the info based on relevancy, i've still got loads). However, if you're interested, send me your e-mail address and i'll mail it to you. Thanks for understanding.
Cheers

Sorry, I'm a little confused with this swell thing:
When exactly should I consider it "swollen?" It seems to me that the more I raise it, the more it "swells"
I'm a noob, yes I am ☹

Hi SM,
Just play the power chords while slowly increasing the level of the relevant channel up to the point where each chord starts sounding unpleasant or harsh to you and drop the level just under this. At gigs it helps to have someone stand in the main crowd area and listen for you. Play something clean and turn off major effects while equalising or you'll be at it all night ?

Okie dokie, with that being said, now take into account that live when they mike up your cab/combo, you really get some noob engineers that say (and I've heard/seen it many times) "No let me mic it up because I like the mic dead center because it's more present" in this case he's mistaking fizz for presence
no..incorrect. That's where you get fizz-bombs and listeners going home with temporary tinnitus. If you're sure you know what you're doing insist on micing up the cab/combo yourself.
The first post was a good starting point but once the mics been placed and the engineer is anal about his mic postion actually walk off stage after the engineer has processed your guitar (but still plugged in) and play so that you can hear your tone through the FOH. Chances are it sounds over fizzy and really strong in the high mids, that's where you'd actually have to compensate by turning down on your amp and you lose your precious settings. Unless the AE is co-operative and you discuss what you want out of your amp that you're not getting.
But really, (I'm just gonna be honest) Leave the 'distortion' pedals at home.

This is an excellent piece of advice... I'm wondering if it'd work with my setup... (Guitar thru Zoom-FX pedal into Bass-amp)
The reason I mention my setup is because I've found that it's so much clearer in general to any guitar-amp I've ever used... aside from the ones I can't afford (yet, that is)
Has anyone else tried this method, or am I just that weird?
deanBailey
Last I saw the Converge guitarist plays through an 8x10 bass cab but that's it, imho not a good idea.
Maybe you were doing something wrong with the guitar amp, If you find it not clear enough ???
which zoom pedal are you using?
whusmaname
The Zoom 707. Why?

Oooooh
Do you use the zoom distortion into a clean channel?
I'm pretty positive it might be the zoom that's killing your clarity
whusmaname
I've tried clean out of the Zoom into the OD of the amp as well as OD out of the Zoom into clean amp, and I'm not fussed by either way. Sometimes I choose one over the other, because it's the sound I'm going for, and sometimes I change to the other option because I can, but I still prefer the clarity of the bass amp, and the simplicity of it as well (The bass amp doesn't give me the choice of clean vs OD...)
Iow: Less choices to have to make.
deanBailey
As long as you're happy.
Unorthodox methods sometimes work, but the level of unorthodox in this situation is leaving me a little confused. ??? hehe
