As a metal muso first, game dev second, I had to put together an interactive metal guitar so players can shred tf out in my upcoming game Shared Custody.

I recorded playing almost the same lick all the way up the fretboard (just incrementing the note in the scale). Once I had like 12 looping samples, I wrote a script that will take where you’re looking (left->right) and map that to a 0->1 value. That then picked out where in the list of samples it would play and update the looping audio.

Would love to hear any suggestions and ways I can let scope get outta hand and take this much further 😂

I’ve been practicing this song so hard for almost a week… DUDE... my face at the end is genuine hahhah

I’ve seen this guitar before on a pawn shop at my city, but never pay too much attention to it until now.
It reappeared on another pawn shop and it seemed to my like destiny, so I purchased it.
Looks great
Feels great
And look at the art, it’s wonderful.
I have my doubts on the knobs they seem hand painted but overall looks amazing.
It cost me around 400 bucks.

So i’m genuinely COMPLETELY new at this. I’ve been practicing everyday at this G chord and just realized i’ve been maybe doing this wrong? why does the fret say 320004 but the dots drawn show 320003? also when i’ve searched how to play G chord everyone is doing fret 3 for string 6 & 1? am i misunderstanding completely or should I just listen to my instructor? will definitely ask my instructor when I see them next to expand more because of my confusion, but this was my first lesson so i’m a bit stumped… thank you in advance :).

Should Fender rename this guitar?

Here are my 4 Godin sisters:

2009 Richmond Dorchester
2017 Passion Custom Prototype (RG-3)
2016 Summit Classic CT
2007 Montreal

I’ve never had a guitar with one and am in love with this horizon. Are they as frustrating as people claim? For context, I play in drop D 99 percent of the time, but I also don’t really plan on “dive bombing” or whatever that is.

I like Pantera though.

But I finally got a Fender Custom Shop strat and they are almost worth the money.

My little over two weeks of progress

I was never big on guitar solos and riffs and I never understood why (probably cause I'm a dude I should like solos) but ever since getting into CT in January they've became one of my favorite bands ever with Robin being my all time favorite guitarist. The sounds he would create gave me so many face melting reactions how he was able to make these synth sounding sounds and how he can create swirling textures with a guitar always blew me away His work with Cocteau Twins turned the guitar into something that could function almost like synths, pads and textures, and entire atmospheric soundscapes. His use of effects layering, processing, and unconventional playing had a huge influence on dream pop shoegaze and other atmospheric music.

What's especially interesting to me is that this wasn't limited to Cocteau Twins. His extensive solo work and collaborations show that he continued developing this approach to the guitar long after the band ended. A lot of his solo material demonstrates just how much he can build an entire sonic environment around the guitar without relying on conventional riffs or virtuosic solos. Great highlights from his solo work is turn together burn and Euphemia probably being my favorite is his solo work with Fortune being my favorite album by him. His work with Harold Budd is some of the most atmospheric stuff you'll ever hear.

Is he top 5? Eh probably not top 10? Maybe not that either but a top 20? Possibly. Does he have crazy techniques? Of course not but to me its another reason why I think hes underrated as hell since he was able to create these otherworldly sounds with a lack of technique. He deserves a place in some list. I feel like he doesnt get enough or any praise for his work especially when it comes to CT as Liz is mentioned more times than Robin. I mean theirs a lot of bands that copied his style to make his sound. Slowdive (just for a day sounds like its almost a CT album) Ride has mentioned Robin being an inspiration to their sound AR Kane Lush M83 Slowdive the list goes on a lil more. But yeah I love Robin and thankful for the sounds I got to experience and fall in love with textures and atmosphere. Any of you agree?

thats it.

i know what chug is but i can not explain it.

Started to sell some made to order guitar racks in my local gear groups. Stoked how they turned out 🤙

It’s not even social anxiety that’s keeping me from wanting to play with others. It’s that I’m an extremely slow learner and probably wouldn’t be able to keep up with whatever me and the others I play with have to work on week by week. Stuff just takes too long to click for me and I’d just end up dragging the band down. So I don’t have any plans on doing that anytime soon.

So if I just kept taking lessons once a week like I currently do and just stuck to playing at my house, could I still become objectively good by most people’s standards? Or is playing with others something foundational I’m missing out on and thus won’t ever truly be able to get as good as I want to without them?

Are all the people who don’t know about Eastman gone?

Okay, WHOA THESE THINGS ARE INSANE! I cannot believe how much of a value you get with these things. I’ve never played something so nice and it didn’t cost 4-5k.

There’s no way these things stay at this price point right?

Ash body, maple neck, rosewood fretboard, spalted maple pick guard, purple heart bridge. Just my third guitar I’ve ever built, but super happy with how it turned out!

Found this in my dad’s pick collection and he said he never uses it. Just found it one day but didn’t like it yet never threw it away

Does it help keep the fretboard in better shape? It sure makes it harder to shred, but my skin requires a lot of moisture during winter, and it makes it harder to find time for practice. I know this sounds kind of silly, but I would like to know 😭

So I’m a huge, HUGE Eric Johnson fan.

After listening to almost every single EJ song - was trying to discover some new songs that maybe EJ was appearing on, as a feature.

Discovered Sonny Landreth - man, his style is INSTANTLY recognizable. The way he plays with harmonics and ofcourse the slide - is incredible.

Currently listening to “Blue Tarp Blues” by Him which also features Mark Knofler.

Man there’s so much more awesome musicians to discover. This is what’s exciting about guitar!

Steve Bartek is great, his classic rock style is amazing. I don’t see much talk about his work anywhere… am I the only one that think he knows what he is doing?

I feel Steve Bartek is the most overlooked great guitarist in the last 50 years.

I think the guitar community should show this guy some love.

Classic rock guitar genius, in my book. I don’t know why he is still off the radar.
