yeah let me know... If I have time i'll check him out.

Cool concept and great player - and your place is really crowded

I am currently working a lot on guitar sounds with my AXE FX Products. I do own the AXE FX III and the AXE FM3. Here you can see my studio rack : Now here's the current task which has to be solved or which was always a task when I worked on guitar sounds. The unedited amplifier sound or sound out of modeling amp systems which I mostly use have a kind of " hardness " in it. That means that you hear the attack of the pick well and in a disturbing way this makes it hard to play a really fast run - also when you only play legato and the notes don't come as smooth as they should. This effect can also happen when you have your amp settings nice at home and then you go on stage and the sound engineer puts a random microphone position and then you have this same effect again which gives you the same described problem. This is the task I am working on often and the bad things can change when you change the sound environment like the room, the microphone, the microphone position, the guitar, the pick or the playing technique. All have to work together to get the perfect guitar sound which makes your playing seemingless and supports your playing technique. Even this is an individual problem every player has and it depends on the factors I already named I want to show you some solutions I found which work quit often in different environments. The screenshots are from the software of my FM3 device at home and I am trying to make a good sound for headphones which is probably the hardest task because there this " hardness " of the sound is the most extrem. Preamp Setting : If your system has a preamp setting or a preamp where you can make alterations on the tube setting you might want to consider switching on the " Tube Saturation ". This gives your sound more distortion but in a soft way and eliminates the hardness of the sound specially on clean or slightly distorted sounds. Microphon Position : The microphon position can also be a game changer. Have your microphon to near and too centered to the speaker can also create this hardness of the sound. I prefer a so called " off-axis " position with some distance. That makes the sound a bit intransparent but when you work with 2 speaker you can make a combination of a distant microphon setting and a closer microphon setting. Different positions of 2 amps in the room : If you work with 2 amps or speakers different positions of the speaker can also make a difference. One speaker near to have the direct signal and one more distant speaker to get softness in your sound. Here it is simulated with the software of my AXE FM 3. The Holy Grail The search for the perfect sound is like the search for the holy grail and your perception how your sound should be can also change with your personal mood and alterations in your playing technique. These are all things which have to be considered. My advice is that once you have a sound setting which you think is good for you, start just using that and don't change the settings all the time because your whole system of ears, playing technique and personal mood also needs to adapt to a certain setting.

I have updated the " Site Guidelines " on point 3. I have added the " no refunds " policy due to the first case I had today. I will explain here more in detail. Every student can find out for free if the system works for them or not. With the premium membership you get the backing tracks, tabs and blog feature and support that the video's are free for everybody. If somebody purchases a premium membership they can download all in one day and then ask for a refund. I don't think that is fair - so am not willing to give a refund. The other point is, that it creates additional administrativ work. But in this case I gave it since the rule did not exists till now.

Yeah this one is for acoustic guitar for once

View File Diatonic Chord Progressions and Patterns - Melodic Minor Here you find the diatonic chord progressions of melodic minor in the key of Cm and Gm. These 2 keys represent all patterns which start either on the E or A string. Melodic minor has a strange sound which one might get used to but is often used in classical music or in Jazz in " modal interchange " situations. There is a backing track added where you can practice to use the harmonic minor modes. You can use the C melodic minor patterns which you see in the exercises or you can also transpose the patterns with root note on the E-string as well. The backing track is just playing the harmonic minor modes one by the next : Cm6 / Cm6 / Dm7 / Dm7 / Ebmaj7#5 / Ebmaj7#5 / F7#11 / F7#11 / G7b13 / G7b13 / Am7b5 nat.9 / Am7b5 nat.9 / B7alt / B7alt Submitter admin Submitted 03/14/2024 Category Theory & Exercises

In Rock Guitar the timing and the timing automatisms are very important. Here I will show you some tips on how you can achieve great timing in rock guitar by doing specific timing exercises with dedication, the right focus and with a lot of discipline. Learn all the timing figures which are available starting from the whole, half, quarter, 8th, 16th and sextole notes and try to work with them in your soloing. The backing track is only 65 bpm so it should be possible to work out all figures with discipline in one row. Here you find the files associated to this tutorial :
