I've just been MMMBopped

@ Vodka I know you didn’t just take 1st with a 100% on both lead and rhythm last week and still think you are too bad to record Hope you find the time, don’t gotta post it until you like it enough to share but I think it’s nice to save recordings No way I can do like Rodman in one go, I am editing out as much mud as I can manage Also one week is wild I wish we had at least two weeks!!

I would love to have the skill to shift a song but I don’t think I’m there yet! Looks like it took her a year to figure it out so maybe by 2026 lol Actually scrolled through to her original cover without the shift aaand I’m thinking it’ll take me a little longer than that Cool channel tho I have the same tattoo as her, no color & peonies instead tho Don’t joke, as soon as I figure out MIDI I’m slapping reggaeton beats on everything and singing in the style of my queen Bellakath

Ahh yes fair point, I know I got a little happy fingers but now I understand why Muse’s version sounds like a hot mess, cause it’s easy to do too much …plus lowkey I’m still fighting the instinct to cover up the vocals it’s like when a beaver hears running water and just starts building dams My biggest issue with the NIN is no good tutorial on YT I’ll see if I can figure something out tho I’m not giving up That’s the sidearm! Jackson Dinky Minion for when I want to feel like a giant lol Thanks for the feedback

Can't play NIN I think and I'm avoiding the mmmmBop so I added some lead and vocals to last week's mix lol this feels like showing off macaroni art y'all but I gave it my best and learned a couple things

Well I didn't really get to finish last week's cover so it's definitely rough but I'll post anyway, too hard for me in every way lol

I am doing a full setup of all my guitars after reading @ Rodman guide so might be a wrap for me this week! I don’t think I could get it flawless like that by the end of the clock congrats

Woooooow you ate

@ Vodka I am surprised and a little disappointed you didn't hit me with the 99.20% today haha Thanks again for the shredcercises @ Rodman enjoying the finger yoga

Sorry to hear that, best of luck with his healing

Farewell forbidden fruitcake lmao

You got me, I skipped it lol didn't really understand but I went back and now it is straight! I will do it to every guitar I get my hands on from now on. I also used superglue on the saddle but it didn't help so I grinded down the region of fret 14 because I was out of patience lol and it looks rough but it works. Possibly humidity caused the fret to come a little loose at the high E border and I tried smacking it with a rubber mallet a couple times but nothing happened so I just went for it. I might have just deferred the problem to the future but for now I am happy! Thanks again for your help. Here she is (before the butchering)!

Thanks so much @ Rodman , I was able to find an old ruler and cut it into three different size pieces to use as a fret rocker I didn’t notice any wobble anywhere. Great idea I adjusted the truss rod little by little last night (aaall the way counterclockwise which feel like I probably should not be doing) and let it settle overnight and the action is still much lower than on cheap guitars I have had. I am surprised how little it affected the neck really, I am not confident with this part. I measured the nut height at fret 1 to be about 1.1mm when pressing down fret 3. The nut looks like it might have been altered by last owner but idk because this is the first nut that is made of bone I have worked with and I thought that issues with it would be felt on open strings and disappear when fretting notes from my understanding. I saw that the high E string has sliced a tangible groove into the saddle so now I am thinking that hopefully this might be the problem. I don’t have shims, tried some tape to elevate and that didn’t work lol it’s too soft. I would love to avoid having to take it in to a luthier but I am stumped Whatever it is the guitar is probably not beyond repair right? Worried I got ripped off

Ahh I bought a used acoustic guitar and spent all day trying to fix it.. dead frets around 12 on the high E making me lose my mind. Should have known it was too good to be true, I think i'll take it to a luthier tomorrow and see what they can do for me. At least I got some experience adjusting the truss rod.
