what was the last album that you bought, that you can listen to without skipping any tracks?

its sometimes difficult to find new music, so I ask to help myself and maybe others find bands and artists that we may not have heard before or just great albums that are worth checking out.

Ill get started with Alabama 3 - Exile On Cold harbour Lane

Its from 1997, a lot of people may have heard tracks in film soundtracks and the sopranos intro.

So what have you been buying?

a pretty weird, dark and funny film with the story centered around a band is Ex-Drummer, Some of the soundtrack is pretty good also

other good films that I can think off the top of my head are;

Alphadog

He was a quiet man

hi, I cant help you with finding your sound, but my experience with a marshal mg15 dfx that i had for a while was that i found the amp alone wasnt very good for varying my sound, I just found the gain uncontrolable, a sort of all or nothing sound when i used that channel and the other knobs did little in adjusting the tone.

my opinion was that the amp alone was pretty poor sound wise, but with a multi fx pedal (i used a digitech rp 250) to give me various tones, the amp was fine and much more apealing. I have upgraded to a blackstar ht-5 now, but probably used the marshall for my 1st year and half of playing

hi, i have both an epi sg pro and and eastwood gp.

my sg is around 5 years old so doesnt have coil taps, but i think that it sounds great and is pretty well built, good for blues, crunchy or fuzzed out sounds, but I dont like playing it. I doesnt feel very well balanced compared to other guitars that I own, and the body cut out makes it sit in a way that it feels like the neck is overly long to reach the 1st 3 frets, especially if I sit down to play it. thats just my opion though, my friend loves playing it. My suggestion is to hold and play an SG before buying, if you havnt already.

My eastwood, is not the one you mentioned and retails around £600, but 2nd hand its around 300. Im only really mentioning it to comment on the build quality which I think is really good, not perfect if you examine everything, but feels and plays really well, holds tune and sounds great for fuzzed and distorted sounds. I have it tuned to C for QOTSA and Kyuss tracks and it suits them really well, but again also good for overdriven bluesy type rock like Monster Truck

RR = riff repeater?

have you put sections in your track?

 

After awhile, you won't really be looking at your fretboard anymore as you get better. +1

 

(Just play more on RS, "quickly" by ear you will ear when you're not on the good fret case).

I have not seen the guitar to comment, but agree with Fracks 2nd point, in my experience after getting a few varied songs under my belt on rocksmith, you'll soon realise how little you actually look at the fretboard, it just sort of becomes instinct

I should have mentioned that both REM songs are official DLC. It was a pretty good pack and worth the money I think

the pack consists of:

What's The Frequency, Kenneth?

Everybody Hurts

Shiny Happy People

The One I Love

Überlin

hi, personally I dont think its a stupid plan as such, but from my experience with rocksmith I find that the sound of my guitar gets lost in the mix for some tracks, so rather than play with settings, I use an AB-Y switch and use my amp with rocksmith.

I like it this way, but I played rocksmith alone for around a year, so its just a case of what suits you and your wallet best.

In time you may know more about tone and the sound youre looking for and there for have a better idea of what amps may suit your needs best.

a few easy beginer songs for chords are:

nirvana - jesus dont want me for a sunbeam
smashing pumpkins - disarm
alice in chains - nutshell
alice in chains - rooster
johnny cash - hurt
rem - loosing my religion

rem - the one i love
travelling willburys - tweeter and the monkey man
radiohead - high and dry
david bowie - man who sold the world


 

Yes, considering how many QOTSA tracks hes put together, theres a good chance they were his.

I really appreciate Kiscsak98's effort here, well and everyone who puts these tracks together :)

A few weeks ago I saw No One Knows skyrocket toward the top of request list and decided to do a multitracks version because I didn't see the song here, not realizing there was one from before this site (though it made sense because why else wouldn't it have been charted then).

 

I've also got multitracks to 3's and 7's, How to Handle a Rope, and Mexicola, if anyone needs me to chart out a bass part for those. Hesitant to help tab out a guitar part by ear for any of those because it's more time-consuming and having done a QotSA song already my eyes drift elsewhere sorry, but if you'd need me to examine a specific part I could try it.

 

I also have multitracks to Avon, Little Sister, and Make It Wit Chu, if the charter(s) for those want me to assist in making those multitracks versions and/or making sure they're entirely accurate from the isolated stem for bass (Make It Wit Chu doesn't seem to have one currently specifically, so I'm pretty sure I could at least improve the quality of that!).

 

EDIT: Also Sick, Sick, Sick, forgot that in the original post.

I have rocksmith 1 versions of how to handle a rope, 3 & 7s,  and sick sick sick if you want them to extract the guitar tracks from.

They were downloaded in the early smithys days so Im not sure who charted them.

edit, actually thinking about it, they are most likely not the original tab as they will have been transposed from C to probably E standard for RS1

I have the older version of Snowdogs pedal, Digitech RP250, Ive had it around 3 years now and its still really useful, I can use community shared patches downloaded for the newer pedals by tweaking a line in the xml files.

2nd hand they are really cheap, a friend payed around £50 for a 2nd hand rp255 recently

I think it has enough features and patches available to satisfy most beginner and bedroom guitarists, and Boss provide something very similar, I cant think of the details, but both are worth a look at

from my experience too many switches and buttons is a distraction to my playing so keeping it simple with the rp250 works for me

there is a 30 minute song as a custom done by someone a while ago, Reverend Bizzarre i think it was

Also someone made the dark side of the moon album as 1 track so it looks like it may be possible

Dope Smoker would probably be fun as a jam track even if you cant chart the full song, we should be able to learn the riff within 30 mins and treat any unchartable part as master mode :)

squire classic vibe guitars are apparently very good for the price, Im not sure price wise with the dollar conversion etc, but maybe look at the 2nd hand market.

80s made in Japan squier and fenders have good hardware for the price and have a good reputation

fender usa highway 1 are cheaper than most usa models, so may also be worth a look at

someone may come along and give you better info, and I have seen a tutorial somewhere, but it comes down to 6 basic steps...

1. unpack existing track

2. update and create showlights files etc with eof

3. create preview file with eof

4. convert audio with newer version of wwise

5. create a tone

6. repack

if you look up how to achive those steps, you should be good to go

edit - I totally forgot you should also create showlights files and an audio preview

what ive done is to select the beat marker where the 1st change occurs, then in the beat menu alter the bpm. that will alter the bpm from that point onwards to the end of the song. you can do this as many times as you like, but u may want to manually adjust some of the beat markers for a more gradual change until the point where the new bpm settles.

 I hope that makes sense

Big football fan here from the US. I follow all of the big leagues.  I'm looking to join some fantasy leagues if you can recommend any? Van gaal looks impressive so far.  I'm rooting for Chelsea because of Mourinho.  My favorite team will be PSG if they get Di Maria.  Zlatan is a beast. 

Ive used this site in the past for fantasy leagues...

could be worth setting up a customs forge league and posting the confirmation code / link here for others to join

Theres a busker near where I work uses a Roland micro Cube, it sounds pretty good for the stuff he plays, can optionally run on power or batteries and has a few built in fx

HI, I agree to stay away from the 15w marshall, I had 1 myself and its pretty shite without pedals, I ended up giving it away. On paper it appears great, but the nobs and dials just dont do anything. Regardless of what level you set the OD, it sounds the same, just all or nothing. no matter what, I couldnt make it sound nice without pedals

I moved away from full solid state amps and got a blackstar ht5r, its great in comparison to the marshall mg15 series. there is also a 1 watt version and dont be fooled by the rating, its pretty loud and again IMO sounds nicer and more versatile to the marshall. Worth a look, then in time add a nice multi effect pedal and youre good for almost any sound
