re: In the amp market
Posted by Stan Switek on 5/14/24 at 11:21 am
Helix is a nice product. Looking at modelers/profilers, people can get really territorial over the one they own and it can be hard getting an unbiased answer.
Note that with a lot of these devices, you really need a computer to program them. Almost all of the more feature-rich products will hav...

re: Question for guitar players of the music board.
Posted by Stan Switek on 5/14/24 at 11:16 am
Just take it one measure at a time. Finger picking takes a different way of thinking about what your right hand is doing and it just takes longer than you'd expect. It's also easy to get your hand going in the wrong pattern (depending on the song). Luckily, songs typically use the same pattern o...

Thanks for the info, that's interesting. I guess it still might irk him to have to sing Rog's lyrics. Or he just wants to promote his new stuff and move on.
I saw Plant on his first tour and he played 0 LZ songs. It was still a good show.

I wonder if he has to pay royalties to Waters-written songs. From Gilmour’s perspective, he can fill an arena without having to write a check to a guy who has publicly attacked himself and his wife on numerous occasions, so why not do that.
I’ll be curious to see the Royal Albert Hall setlist...

It's really not all that wild. In the 1997-98 season (the year they started keeping stats of shot...

I read somewhere that the theme song was written and finalized before all the characters were. The professor and Mary Ann were late additions to the script and so weren't added to the theme song until Season 2....
re: Did anyone finish all 3 seasons of Legion?
Posted by Stan Switek on 4/9/24 at 7:23 am
I watched all three seasons. Season 1 was probably my favorite singular season of a superhero show. Season 2 was a step down and I absolutely hated Season 3.
I was all in on the trippy and strange, but what they did with the characters themselves was revolting....

re: Fingerpicking
Posted by Stan Switek on 12/10/23 at 8:43 am
There are a few things to consider in a fingerstyle guitar. As auggie mentioned, a wider nut (usually at least 1.75") is considered preferable as is a more balanced tone. For these two reasons, many fingerstyle players gravitate to the OM style guitars, which have both of these characteristics. O...

I prefer OTW, it's more R&B/Soul than Thriller (Working Day and Night, Don't Stop Til You Get Enough), its ballad is better (She's Out of My Life is better than Lady in My Life), and Jackson just seems to be having a much better time on OTW than Thriller....
