I currently have new JJ tubes and a Fulltone Fulldrive 2 Mosfet in transit. They should get here by the middle of the week. I'm also planning on a barber Tone Press come next paycheck. I went on a gear spending spree the past couple weeks for the first time in a while. Upgraded all of my cables, as well. I love new toys!
What's going on with your playing lately? Acquire any new axes or gadgets? What kind of rig are you working with currently?
@Slothberries said:Haha. IM SO SORRY!!!!!never saw a guitar thread on .net before.Hey, listen pal.
Cool!
seriously though....sorry. I couldnt help it.
I have a few guitars. A mexican Strat, an hollow body Ibanez Artcore and a shitty yamaha acoustic. The guitar that I play most often is the the ibanez....unplugged. It gives a nice enough sound for Living room playing.
I plug the strat into my computer and use the Guitar Rig programs to mess around, record loops, etc.
As you can see, Im not a serious player at all....but im pretty decent and have a lot of fun with my limited tools
Oh and I only said "Listen" because I was playing a tune and wanted you to hear it.
Fun is what it's all about!ahhhh. what were you playing?
Oh and I only said "Listen" because I was playing a tune and wanted you to hear it.
I'm The Man Who Loves You by Wilco. Great song, and a couple good spots for soloing. Blues in F. Lots of fun!Nice. Ill make sure to check that out. Blues in F is always a good time
Ive been playing for a few years....mostly focusing on rhythm and strumming/adding color. Im actually pretty good in that aspect of guitar playing and I have more fun with it than soloing.....although thats probably because im not very good at soloing yet. Gettin there, though.

thats the current rig of stuff i use on the regular. just got the Martin last month. thing is great. @patper hows the PRS?
Poor college student here. I am trying to pick up a boss phase shifter next.
I downgraded apartment space and had to leave all my electric equipment at my buddies place. I bought a cheap acoustic but the motivation to play hasn't really been there. Any suggestions for interesting songs to learn, not like easy chord songs but something kinda challenging
Used to have a FD2, there is some overlap with a TS while sounding different at the same time. I ran in almost always in the FM (flat mids) setting. I'd say look into modulation before getting a compressor, like a univibe, phaser, tremolo. Comp can be subtle and its cool that Trey uses one but most guitarists dont.I've had a tremolo and phase in the past, but got rid of them because I never used them. I barely ever use the wah and delay as it is. I've kicked around the idea of getting a compressor for a while, and finally decided that I want one to top off my tone. Also, a use a fat heavy pick so I want a compressor to cut down on the attack.

If I don't like it, I can always sell it!
If you're a Radiohead fan, they have a lot of great songs to learn on guitar that are challenging. Go To Sleep is one of my favorites to play on acoustic. For electric I like playing Weird Fishes, Let Down, The Tourist, Bodysnatchers, and Electioneering. All of these songs are challenging but not too hard.
Fender American Standard Strat
Boss Tuner pedal

American Telecaster through M-AUDIO Fast Track audio interface, garageband with Guitar Rig Pro 4 plug-in.
I also have Marshall JCM Halfstack but recently moved into an apartment so it just sits in the corner collecting dust :'(

Here's my MIM Telecaster, i've had it for almost a year now, and would consider it my first real electric guitar. I've only been taking guitar seriously for about 2 years now, so I still don't have a fancy rig, but recently i've been looking into amps, and pedals that would suit my needs. I'd really like a nice fat tone similar to Treys mid/late 90's tone, but with my limited knowledge of gear, i've been struggling to attain it with my Telecaster. As of now I always hook up my guitar to my Macbook, which is hooked up to external speakers, and use Amplitube 3 to get the tone I like. Sometime this year, or next, I hope to get the PRS SE Custom Semi-hollow. Anyone know of any other reasonably priced, quality hollow/semi-hollow guitars, preferably with a small body like the PRS SE or Languedoc?

Also, soloing has really been my main focus, i've been improving my rythm skills lately (learned CAGED, looking into inversions), but i'm really looking to learn about altered chords. I feel they'd add a lot of colour to my rythm playing, but it's sort of intimidating because there seems to be a large variety of them and the way they're identified/labeled confuses me (Bb13 #11, etc.), what woud be the best way to go about learning them?

Nice rig man! Curious on how like the PRS H2? I'm looking into them and that's a pretty steep price tag. Wondering if you can gimme a little run down on it
Does this actually work? Like there is no lag time? Or are you just saying someone should lay down a track and everyone solos over it
Martin D16>
Behringer Tuner>
Behringer D2000 Delay>
Boss RC-20XL>
Whatever acoustic amp/Inhouse sound system I can find
I started out with the shittiest Yamaha acoustic and inherited the D16 from my Dad.
For my electric rig I have:
G&L Custom Strat>
Ernie Ball Junior volume pedal>
Vox Wah>
EHX Big Muff>
Boss TR-2 Tremolo>
Boss PH-3 Phaser>
Behringer D2000 Delay>
Boss RC-20XL loop station>
Traynor Tube Amp
I have an SKB pedal board for all my effects. I'm in serious search for a new delay. I like the Behringer but I just need an upgrade. Any recommendations?
PS. If anyone is interested, I am getting rid of my boss OD-1. PM me if interested!

It sounds great, I only use the clean channel since Fender has a horrible overdrive circuit imo. The only thing with this amp is it's assembled in Mexico and from reading reviews it sounds a fair amount of people have had problems with this amp.
Mine has only left the house twice and a wire has come loose or something because it will not power up atm... I'll let you know the verdict when I get it back. Great sounding amp though and has plenty of power (40W) to gig.
@ledzepmaster clearly a trey fan based on your gear lolYea, Boomerang, 2x tubescreamer > comprosser, and whammy wise. lol
But inbetween the compressor and black cat mini tremolo is an astrotone fuzz and that gets me the full zeppelin... and it will spit all over if I use a tubescreamer with it.
Every guitar player needs to have a solid wah pedal though.

Yea well ive always been a fan of prs my first real guitar was an SE, its the best guitar ive ever played, the clean tone is great and with it being a full hollow body not just semi it gets a lot of sustain, this also causes feedback but if you know how to control it its all good. its extremely light so its great for standing and playing for a while. The action is great and is a really beautiful guitar, pretty much everything you'd expect from a guitar that costs that much.

Jealous. What finish?
smoked orange
Cheap as hell, but it plays great and that's what matters.
Will never get rid of that guitar (partly because it's worth borderline nothing)
VOX AC15VT
Love that as well.
Been ripping Hey Joe, Althea, learning the Rift solo lately.
Fender Squire black strat style.Hey, the guitar player in my brother's band plays a Black Squire Strat. He plays it through a huge Marshall stack and RIPS it! He, too, loves how it feels, and they play a lot of hard rock Hendrix/Van Halen/The Who kind of stuff, so the dirtier tone is perfect for how he plays.

I have a Digitech Hardwire DL-8 Delay/Looper on order. Anxoius to get it in and check it out.
I play in your typical classic rock cover band. We play the local bar scene and the occasional wedding, private party, etc. We do Stones, Santana, Clapton, SRV, Beatles, a little Dead, etc., and and a smattering of assorted blues and country. I also play in a little three-piece with a bass player and drummer just for fun. We play almost all Grateful Dead and Phish. We can't find a keyboard player or a decent rhythm guitar player, so I'm hoping I can flesh out our sound on jams a little with the looper. We're not going for 100% authenticity or anything as if we were a Dead or Phish cover band. We just like to jam. We also throw in the occasional Flying Burrito Brothters, Byrds, Dylan, Stones, etc. I guess we're kind of jammy country rock like 72-74 era Dead or The Byrds with Clarence White. The Phish stuff we do is like Back on the Train, Bathtub Gin, Ocelot, Wolfman's Brother, Birds of a Feather - stuff that does not sound completely out of place in that context. It's fun.

I personally use it around the 10 o clock spot; Trey is currently using his 'Sustain' knob at 9 o clock. Great, great pedal, I don't think I'll ever need to buy a different compressor.

I run this beast through an Orange Tiny Terror Combo, which I am looking to sell, or a 1959 Gibson Skylark I picked up for $195 from Guitar Center and re-tubed and re-Capped. For pedals, I haven't settled on anything except a Boss RV-3 delay/reverb. I use the Fuzz Factory, a wah, and I'm in the market for a Boomerang.
Also just as good is my other guitar, the Vantage Avenger X-77
These are both rare (Avenger less so) MIJ machines from the 80s that make top shelf american guitars look like cheap little toys in comparison. I am lucky to own the two best guitars I have ever played.
And for the Acoustic, the Seagull S6 - I want a really nice acoustic one day, and I think it will be a Gibson or a Guild. Don't know though. The Gibson Songwriter Deluxe is soooo nice.

My Fulldrive 2 came today! This is one serious overdrive pedal. It sounds so, so good. It turns my little Blues Jr. into a terrifying monster. Sorry Tubescreamer, you're gonna have to sit this one out for a while!
I believe you can get great gear for not too much money. That Vox was $500 ebay find, and the Avenger was $250, and they both play like pro guitars. I miss Daddy's Junky Music
I also need a pedal board. Why are pedal boards so damn expensive? I just want a cheap used one.
