Thank you!
Very cool! I like that riff. It's very Eighties indeed. I like the phaser as well. Nicely done!!! Keep it up!! -------------------- |

Thank you! That was really unexpected! It's just an idea that I need to patch up with more bits and instruments. As much as I want to, I only have my guitars, and my brother's bass if needed. My project is kind of stuck. We're pushing forward at a really slow pace because I lately come home too tired to make any use of my brain. I work 7 days a week, so it's really taxing. But I asked for 1 day off tomorrow and I'm hoping to make a decent progress. The setting we chose for the game is a mix of post-apocalypse and 80's retrowave. I found this brand new phaser on a nice sale lately and I didn't need it nor want it but I bought it just to see how that kind of effect works. After I figured out how each knob affects the tone, I hit the sweet spot and paired it up with delay in the effects loop. It suddenly made guitar fun to play for the first time in a really long while. I think it may sound a bit like EVH era of music but that's 80's and if I manage to put the music together, it should be perfect for the setting. Ideally, I should try it with my PAF guitar that's made for this but it needs shielding first and it takes a while. Oh! That sounds cool! Yeah, Van Halen was a big user of Phase 90 pedal. Have you ever learnt this riff? 80's retrowave? Muse has great influences from that style, and when exploring this genre, I discovered this band: Thank you! Arpeggios from hell? -------------------- My lessons

I've tried that EVH song back when I was fascinated by that era but I'm extremely bad at switching to G Major, the boy scouts version, as these are called in my country. I checked that Phase 90 pedal but it's costly. I figured, I'd either assemble a clone unit over time or get one of these cheaper units. I've had very good experience with overdrive and my brother's chorus from that specific product line and decided to give it a go. I'm not disappointed at all! Yeah! I think that Phaser pedals are really easy to clone. That's why there are many alternatives. If you are able to build one, go for it! You'll get a very convincing sound. The MXR one is a bit overpriced because it a classic. I only know Muse has a song that my friend botched in a funny way singing in high pitch. That other band, the Midnight sounds cool too! Personally, I prefer instrumental retrowave and White Bat Audio ( youtube channel ) does amazing tracks! You should check him if you're interested in that genre Thanks for the link!! While I was checking that youtube channel, I've also found this one which is really cool: https://youtu.be/_Ci0Kgdpgsw Yes it is! Or maybe, it was supposed to be. But I've made a ton of progress. Before joining GMC, I could play the first 6 notes on low E string, if I even managed to get a lucky stretch. And then I had to take a break to let my sore hand relax. Now I can at least hit the notes at some slower pace, though it surely needs a lot more practice. I wanted to try something different and since I'm trying to learn sweeping lately, I got back into the YJM phase. Awesome!! You can play it very smoothly! It's not an easy etude... that's why it's called like that... -------------------- My lessons

It's not much but I'm working on something larger. Can't tell if it's going to work but I'll try!

I agree with Todd here! I don't think that it can be positive to be switching from thumb to thumbless all the time. And based on what Todd says, (as he experimented with this idea), it shouldn't be a difficult task to get used again to your thumb. Maybe, you'll feel uncomfortable the first day/days but then you'll find it natural.

It's meant to be part of the process, but not really meant to be part of standard play, typically. Once the hand pressure has been reset, the thumb make a good hand guide on the neck. Also during vibrato, the thumb is very handy to allow a counter balance for the hand and can help create deeper vibrato and better pitch control on bends. As you are now diving in to vibrato and bends, it's a good opportunity to regain the thumb and use it to help control bending/vibrato. There are some times when a stretch is just too far for your hand to play and thumbless technique can come to the rescue!. But for standard play, it's really meant as a step along the way. Does that make sense? Todd yes! it makes sense! Thanks for the clarification Todd! -------------------- My lessons
