I got some really thin strings and tuned to A=666Hz, and my feet turned into hooves and I grew a set of goat horns.

If you don't want to do it yourself, replacing machine heads shouldn't be an expensive job, even if there are hole needing filled or re-drilled.

Yea... well... I have a better TV than the one in frame. That's got to be worth something, right?

Right?

TBH, what you've quoted sounds like the ramblings of a high school physics student who's just discovered the wacky baccy.

 

 

Even worse than that.  It came from Ultimate Guitar.

 

Well, high school level is intellectual for there, no?

 

 

 

Science previously discovered that the static on your TV is actually the sound and energy of dying stars, and that anything producing energy actually produces some kind of sound, whether loud or quiet (that includes atoms vibrating). This possibly means that, given our knack for living on earth, we're "tuned" to the cosmic hum of the planets rotation (kind of a cool idea actually). And for some reason, this is believed to be in the tuning of 432hz.

 

 

I hear it also makes erections last 2x longer!  And makes your whites whiter!  Now more than ever!!!

Most of the static picked up by TV aerials is rather more local; the majority of the rest is actually cosmic background radiation(which was discovered by accident in the 1960's, by a couple of astronomers who just couldn't account for the interference their shiny new radio telescope was picking up).

Well, no Wildhearts for me tonight. Bloody typical of my mum to go and get a bloody kidney transplant when I've got a gig to go to.

:D

...wow i feel like a casual :c

 

I've only seen Bon Jovi a couple to a few years ago. I'm going to Avenged Sevenfold on the 16th though. Super excited for that.

My Canadian geography might not be great, but isn't Saskatchewan kind of out of the way? I'm not saying your neighbours are a moose and a tree or anything...

I think I might be alone in that I actually liked Chinese Democracy.  It wasn't like old Guns N Roses but if it had any other name on it, I think it would have done much better.

It's not a bad album. But with such a long wait for it, even if it had somehow been possible for it to be perfect for eveyone who heard it, there still would have been disappointment.

 

 

Awesome!  The Floyd Rose is a pain in the ass for sure with Rocksmith.  It's a floating system designed to be set up for one tuning.  Even drop D is difficult to tune to once you have it set up for E / Eb / D  etc.

 

I'm in the process myself of selling off a few of my guitars that have tremolo systems.  My brother has my BC RICH neck-through mocking bird I'm trying to get him to send me so I can get down to using one guitar and one bass for the game.

Drop D isn;t difficult with a Floyd, but it does involve the additional expense of a drop-d tuna(shouldn't be more than about $50), and a little bit of setting up.

 

 

I blocked my floyd after battling with tuning in rocksmith. When i play my favorite songs i have to tune between E an C standard sometimes even B, so without blocking it would be really pain in the ass. I used simple coin trick which means using duct tape to stack some coins together and stuff it between the tremolo block and guitar body on both sides.

 

So, what kind of strings are you using to get that range? They must go from being tighter than a gnat's chuff to a wizard's sleeve, dropping from E to drop B.

Maybe someone has to ask him about the price - but stress that they're not talking about money, either.

Is all it would take a sincere apology? Would it be enough for one(or both) to say "I'm sorry, man. I've been a giant f*cking c*nt about this for years, and you(or even 'we both') deserve better"?

All we really know is that if it DID happen, they'd get a truck full of money driven up to their houses, daily, for the rest of their lives. And yet there's something that makes that not worth it.

I left it quite late to buy a first album, mainly because I just 'borrowed' them from my brother.

So when I did buy, it was kind of filling in a gap in his collection, so the first one I bought was Ride The Lightning.

First gig - White Zombie at the Barrowlands in Glasgow.

Wildhearts next Thursday, Extreme in July.

If I could remember them all, it'd be a pretty long list.

So, first and last - White Zombie, about 16-17 years ago; and Steel Panther, about 3 weeks ago.

In between, in no particular order: the Offspring, Megadeth, the Wildhearts, Kiss, Whitensake, Def Leppard, Metallica, Rob Zombie, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Iron Maiden, Danko Jones, Backyard Babies, Alestorm, Gloryhammer, Manowar, Motorhead, AC/DC, Live, Hayseed Dixie, ZZ Top, Fear Factory, Rollins Band, Skunk Anansie, GnR(Axl & friends version), Alice Cooper, Slash, Duff McKagan's Loaded, Marky Ramone's Blitzkreig, Toy Dolls.... and a whole bunch of others that I can't find the tickets from(a fair few of whom have been mate's bands).

Leaving aside the issue with bends.... my main advice would be to look at some Ibanez guitars(RG and S series, since they're roughly strat-shaped), and Jackson(Soloist and Dinky) to start with. There are some good guitars in those ranges that'll set you back less than a horribly beat-up third hand Corvette.

Also, have a tech look at your strat. It may not be that tricky(or expensive) to fix, and having a spare guitar for other tunings(or different gauge strings) is always a good thing. And if it's really bad, raise the action and buy a slide.

I've been reading tabs for close on 15 years, and didn't find anything 'unnatural' about the RS display. Because it's not tab, or standard notation; it's not easier or harder either way. Just different.

And if you're set in your ways, getting shaken up isn't a bit thing.

You can always adjust the mix in RS. A bit cumbersome to do that for every song, tho.

I'm going to bash all computerised gaming platforms, because none of them are as fun as PnP.

No computer game really gives you no holds barred ham-to-ham combat.

Here's my currently playable guitars.

back row: Ibanez GSR 200, Gibson SG special

front row: Epiphone LP standard, PRS SE custom, Gibson 60's Tribute LP

I also have an MIM strat, which I was stripping for re-finishing, but RL kind of got in the way. Hoping I might be able to make the time when it's a bit warmer.

Well, tuning to concert pitch was hit-or-miss; getting the guitar in tune with itself(and the singer's voice) is much simpler.

Even Bach played organs tuned to A 480 or higher.

Also, as far as a 'playable' guitar goes, that may be why use of a slide, and open tunings, was so widespread - a crappy fret job matters less if you're hardly using the frets.

iirc you'll need to disable audio exclusivity in the RS options.

And as for dissonant notes - sometimes they sound 'off', but other times(admittedly more rarely), the dissonance can be exactly what you want. The notes from the scale diagram are, to quote Captain Barbossa somewhat out-of-context, "more what ye'd call... guidelines".

Alternate tunings probably predate electric guitar - for example, the 7 string is generally considered to have been 'invented' in the 18th century by a Russian called Andrei Sychra.
