    Seeking recommendations

    So I’m getting ready to perform on an Internet show next Thursday. They’re only giving me 4 mins to play one tune. I’m just a guitarist. I do not sing. I’m looking for recommendations for a good instrumental rock song that is not so difficult to play, but still sounds bad ass. Something that is...

    Hosting a small music festival?

    Hey guys, I’m curious to hear your thoughts on this… Someone I know who is a musician pitched the idea of having a small music festival at my place for this community we both belong to. I’ve got a large farm, which is in rural location, so I guess it would be similar to a tiny little woodstock...

    What’s going on with this Charvel?

    I just got this one in from GC used. Can someone tell me what kind of Charvel this is? I don't remember them making one with this combo of features. It's got pickup rings with one volume pot and toggle, no tone pot. recessed floyd. cut out heel for truss wheel. The heel cut out is oddly chopping...

    Sportsball Fans

    Nothing tells you we've reached peak deracinated consumerism and nihilism more than the unsinkable addiction Americans have to sportsball entertainment, and what they're willing to put up with for it.

    OPINION: VSTs Sound Like Absolute Dog Shit

    It's probably just me. My hands don't agree with them. My ears don't agree with them, but you'd think at least I could find one tone in the plethora of models available that suits me. Doesn't look that way. I just don't get what people like about VSTs other than the convenience. Either I'm doing...

    WTB - JACKSON PRO SERIES DINKY DK2 GRANITE CRYSTAL

    These are proving damn near impossible to find. I want this exact model so bad. If anyone has one in good condition they're willing to part with, I'd like to buy it!

    How Good are Jackson JS11s?

    Was looking at these. Liked the nice blue color they offer. Are these worth a flip? My main thing is do they play decent and stay in tune?

    Hey guys!

    Hey guys! I’m changing my guitar strings today! NOW! Crucify me about how stupid, primadonnaish, arrogant, and bad I am for doing this. Dog pile me and tell me how people “dodged a bullet” by not being in a band with me because I’m changing my strings. I never want to hear the end of it. Keep...

    Forming original band

    Forming original band Must be exactly 30 years old No 20 year olds Looking for all positions. Guitar, drums, bass, vocals, keys, etc… I might play in the band, I might not. I might just watch you guys. I have no musical opinions or preferences If I did they would certainly be stupid and...

    Haa as s anyone here ever ordered a Jackson Custom Shop San Dimas?

    I know Jackson can make San Dimases since they currently make some production models, but they don’t have them as option on the order form. I know their custom shop has made them in the past. I don’t see why it would be such a radical thing to ask them to build me a San Dimas? I don’t really...

    Opinion: It’s better to find older dudes to form bands with than younger guys

    I recently replied to this ad by a 20 yeard-old who turned me away because I’m 30. He said “that’s too much of an age gap bro”. His ad stated that he was a “BADASS LEAD GUITARIST”. In my follow up reply I told him that that’s a very arrogant attitude, and that 30 is YOUNG! He fancies himself a...

    STL AmpHub

    Looking for the best plugins to record with, I’ve downloaded tons. The STL is my most recent. Trying to get brown sound. Was hoping there might be some guys here who use this plugin who might be able to help me with some starting point settings for brown sound using this plugin? Thanks!

    Lockheed Martin

    Someone tell me where to sign up for one of these Critical Race Theory training courses. The thought of having some nonwhite diversity hire school me on how I, a white male, possess innate superior traits to them sounds good to me...

    Getting a good base line sound in DAW

    This question is for the guys who record with vst plugins. I’m wondering how you guys run your setup for a good baseline recorded tone? I’m using Fortin Cali Suite, which is nice, but I cannot seem to produce a very inspiring recorded sound. I know nothing about mixing/mastering. I have zero...

    Shameless plug...

    I figured I would inform the RT community about a little project I embarked on starting in January. After Trump’s banning from Twitter, and subsequent purges of some of the people I follow from other platforms like Nick Fuentes, I decided to create a new free speech live streaming platform. It’s...

    What is the most “custom” of all the custom shops?

    I’ll soon be in the market for a custom order superstrat. It’ll be something like a classic Charvel, but I’ll probably go with something other than a Charvel. I’ve heard from some people that ESP will literally make you anything you want. So if I wanted a San Dimas body with a Fender headstock...

    You ever draw a parallel between these singers voices?

    Don Dokken and Paul Di anno? Sometimes I listen to some Dokken songs, and I think Don's voice is like the more glammy. ballady version of Paul Di anno. I wondered if anyone else had ever made this connection. What do you guys think?

    Recording woes

    I'm trying to record some original pieces I've composed, and I cannot, for the fucking life of me, produce a good-sounding tone on the DAW. I've tried my 5150 lbx. I've tried my Marshall DSL40CR. I'm going through all sorts of VSTs, including Fortin Cali Suite, ML800, Guitar Rig, etc... I'm...

    OPINION: Newer Charvels are not very good. Neither are SD JBs

    I don't know what it is. I bought a 2020 charvel pro mod last year. Just the regular black HH San Dimas model. I've had it for 7 or 8 months now. Idk, is this the neck everyone jizzes their pants over? Feels horrible to me. It feels bulky and awkward. It's so hard to play. It fights and fights...

    Looking for best small amp

    In your opinion, what is the best sounding small amp with built-in effects? Preferably tube, but doesn't have to be so long as it sounds/plays on par or near on-par with tube amps. Something good for both practice and studio recording use. Could be a desktop amp or something slightly larger. As...
