This thread will be constantly updated. Also - sorry for my english, I'll try to be as accurate as possible. I don't have time to leave feedback at every custom I play. I wanted to gather everything in one place, so I created this thread. Here are some tips to make your customs better. Let's begin. 1. ALWAYS turn off the "Ignore capo/tuning" function in EOF. I played an Drop C# custom recently and this is what I saw: http://i57.tinypic.com/167w5k2.jpg These are chords for an E Standard chart, not for a Drop C# chart. Also if you turn that function off, when charting a custom that needs a capo, someone can learn that song without a capo, knowing just the chords that he should play. 2. Sustains A. Apply sustains ONLY, when it's necessary. If you don't understand what I'm talking about, then look at this: http://i61.tinypic.com/wkha38.jpg It looks opaque and sometimes covers other notes. It's often a result of GuitarPro import, when you don't remove the sustains. B. DON'T DO sustains as long as possible. It is a common problem with arpeggios, but not only. An example: http://i57.tinypic.com/5uhhk4.jpg An example of too long sustains in EOF: http://i.imgur.com/kyCp3vr.png It looks very opaque. Don't apply sustains, but if you REALLY want to do them, then do them at most this long: http://i.imgur.com/NKw5GoK.png 3. Slides A. LISTEN to the slides. There are many slides in the customs that are applied, but I actually can't hear them in the songs. They're mostly present, when you just have to shift between power chords. B. Apply slides CORRECTLY. The problem lies in the chart, where the slides are often charted like this: http://i.imgur.com/lfGP8YG.png and not like this: http://i.imgur.com/XPGwcMa.png Examples of uncorrectly applied slides: http://i60.tinypic.com/2ms39s0.jpg http://i58.tinypic.com/akbk1e.jpg Examples of correctly applied slides: http://i61.tinypic.com/9kxw7b.jpg http://i61.tinypic.com/2qvdu1u.jpg http://i62.tinypic.com/30jgxso.jpg http://i57.tinypic.com/67k48m.jpg Just remember to use the "Linknext" status in EOF to do multiple slides like the last one you see above. There still a lot things to point out, so I will update this thread. I was just afraid that I will forget some things, so I started it.
