    I would take the old strings off first , then clean

    The fingerboard in that post is disgusting! I thought mine were bad but they're nothing compared to that! I tend to wash my hands before playing so I don't mess it up too much but I change strings every month and I always give a full clean at the same time.

     

    I should probably wash my hands before playing. I've had the same strings on for over a year , is that bad?

     

    If you don't mind it then there's nothing necessarily wrong with that. I just find I love the feeling and the sound of brand new strings. I only use Elixir strings which most people are happy to leave on for months but I start to notice a loss of tone after a week or two. There's nothing nicer than the feel and sound of new strings to me :D

     

    One thing to be aware of is that your fretboard can dry out from the sweat, gunk and general humidity so it's worth restringing just to keep your fretboard feeling fresh.

  3. I'd be interested to know if you think guitar didn't help you feel better in any way and that's why you stopped? One of the reasons I picked it up was because I saw it as a release but I find if I'm feeling any negative emotions it usually makes things worse because I end up annoyed at myself.

  4. Evening all, my recent lack of playing guitar has made me start thinking about what I want to get out of guitar. With life getting in the way I missed two weeks of playing before yesterday but I don't feel compelled or get excited like I used to.

     

    My question for everyone is what keeps you playing? What do you get out of guitar?

  5. Grats, I was thinking of a vypyr for my first amp but ended up with a Blackstar HT1. I thought 1 watt of power would be really quiet by my god I was wrong. I've no idea how loud that 100w amp is!

    Sometimes it's better just to go ahead and make them yourself. I'd love to see some more Marillion and King Crimson but I don't think it's gonna happen unless I do it :P

    man id love to but i have no the slightest clue how.

    I've made a couple myself and it's really not hard, provided you can get a good guitar pro tab from somewhere. It's mostly just time consuming to make a good CDLC but you could do one in a few hours.

  7. Guys you should wait to see if it's gonna drop a bit further, we can easily expect to have 50% DLC if Rocksmith goes on daily deal.

    I remember when Rocksmith 1 DLC was 75% off, those were the days!

    If you define "major" as the bands/artists who sold the most records then The Beatles, Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, etc. would be on top of the list.

    The Beatles have sold more records then AC/DC, Metallica and Guns N'Roses together.

    Is a question of tastes. You are talking about very legendary bands that have more time in the music world but atually they aren't in the top,we are talking about RS audience (and thanx god for that). Meanwhile Metallica is still on top of that,not top of your granny old records. For those all those bands you mention,I still prefeer Metallica over all. And for Madonna please not mention her again fo the sake of all of us. ;) You are an old dude by the way.

     

    You are a young person. How many metallica records have you bought, or a ye a pirate?

     

    You know we have moved on in life, you don't have to buy albums to listen to a band without pirating. I subscribe to Google Play Music and all of their albums are on there..... And if you're going to get into piracy then people are distributing and downloading all of the music in CDLC without a license. Try to claim fair usage all you want, the tabs are fair usage but the music doesn't need to be distributed. We can be expected to own the music we're trying to play in CDLC.

  9. Disappointed but last night I hurt my hand playing Way of the Samurai, I have no idea what I done but I've never felt pain like that in my hand before so I've passed on guitar the past two days. I still feel tenderness in my wrist when I move my hand up and down so no more scores for me this week! Nice song choice though and I'd like to keep working on it when this is over.

  10. Felt a bit better so tackled it some more. Getting a lot of confidence at full speed now, just need to riff repeat the solo, the weird outro and the minor differences of the rhythm track. Hoping for 95% by Saturday. Also lol @ only 0.1% difference in score! Don't mind the funky bars, the CDLC flickers on my second computer for some reason o_O
