so are the other 2 fellows (good in my book)that got on the defensive trying to protect the thread because they got lot from it so far. maybe got a touch brutal haha (coffee?) it happens, I just think ( they can correct me if im wrong) jack and eddie, just wanted to standup for the thread because they see the whole value of it and identify with it. i appreciate that we just have to be careful that's all.

I want to take a different position than other may have seen I ask people that support this thread support this.
here is the position. If people come in angry we talk with them get to the root of it(see their point of view), if it becomes clear they refuse to explain we carry on with our studies. that's it. time to transcend the madness folks.
I want to say lets not establish a "enemy" image EVEN if a person is way out of line, we talk to them respectfully and use reason to show them, if nothing works we go on with our work thats best we can do.
By using this methodology , it will be impossible to get shutdown. it will just be the one person flipping out of whatever happened people tried talking to them then it stopped etc. (even if the person keeps repeatedly commting vulgar language the staff will see that and deal with the one person)

 

No, sorry, but they were shit stirring. I at no point tried to derail or get the thread shut down. Plus I'd left the thread on page six. They started the peronal attacks from page 14. Sorry I haven't replied to you before, but I've had you on ignore. Nothing personal. It's just that you post so much, the alert sysem can't keep up and I miss things elsewhere on the forum. Hope you understand.

 

I get what you mean but id like to get what everyone means too sir but i still get what YOU mean sir.

 

I just noticed this thread is located in education primarily now so that should help with some problems.

 

I think we gong to be able iron out the wrinkles here just fine.
The Teknomage you good in my book you always welcome
EDDIE and JACK mostly havent said anything they been going through in real depth and got lot of material and i hope do that with their material , they will read all this and be fine with everything.
they will see that we going to approach it different, this site been working a certain way were people go back and forth , now we can just talk to each other everyone is going to fell better about that here

 

Having just stumbled upon this thread holy shit. MMJ I relate alot with your hyperactive brain and mentality, trying to spit the info out faster than the folks can listen.

Funny enough we have the same schedule, polyphasic sleeping, meditation, late night research.

As I have been awake for far too long right now I will dive back into page 1 and start trying to disseminate the info in this thread. Do hope the thread does not get deleted though, there is ALOT of knowledge here and many links gathered.

Thanks alot ;D

 

thank you Customuser22 I know exactly what you mean! lol

 

Sitting here this morning, drinking my coffee and clicked on this vid and was instantly transformed. Foot tapping and smiling....Gotta love the power of (good) music.
Thanks for sharing @Kloud

Glad u enjoyed it subGENRE
Jack a phenomenal guitarist that writes some hugely catchy and really tasteful riffs
You can hear the huge Satriani influence but he's developed his own real distinct style.
He's known about as he won Guitar Idol few years ago but I still sometimes think his stuff is underrated.
I really dig the Pacifica he uses also and thinking of getting one similar to just mod and stick some wild pickups in or something. The Laney amps he uses are pretty cool also, especially some of the rack studio versions as they come at a really decent price. Couldn't agree with you more as his stuff also makes me smile instantly when I hear it.

Great music as you say

 

@Kloud
....definitely heard the Satriani influence in his riffs and tone.

 

@MMJ2017 Just curious, how low do/can you tune an 8 string? If I drop my 5 string I can get a low G with heavy gauge strings. Any lower its like playing spaghetti. What do you use for strings? Ive heard of guitarists using bass and/or piano strings before, to get really low.
I like to tune my 4 string with a low b, lol

 

Thank you for the thread!

Cool jose! thank you very much I hope you enjoy it thank you fine sir.

 

hey bro, i drop to f# (1 notes below that bass string you mentioned) on one mine it is 30 inch scale length it is a .130 from kalium strings with 22 lps. of tension.

another one that is 8 sting also 30" scale length is tuned to A (same as drop 5string bass) and that is .100 with 25 lps. tension

its so different than normal guitar or even baritone that is basically new type instrument the long scale ya know but interesting i like it

that why before i was wondering if you got into zero octave range ( similar to distorted 808's hahah)


i like to tune the guitar that low but have the sound pushed into hearing range with the eq

but cool thing is you can palm mute but use it where normal bass instrument would go then have reg guit can do all kinds weird thinsg haha(but it dont interfere with the bass the real one haha)

really interesting its like anew instrument you can play any genre too

but i shred just as hard and spend just as much time on my reg 6 string and reg tuning i like the whole range

recently, I have been building a custom pedal-board with 30 something pedals for getting involved with ambient guitar as a side project with some jazz influences ,spending a lot of time playing a real clean signal really has affected my ability and accuracy i wasn't as aware of when I had mostly played higher gain levels.

look through this page guys!

This is one of the great secrets of music! Makes it much easier to navigate when improvising!

 

I just want to clarify this a little bit, so to be clear about it.
many members have explained to me what been happening before I got here is that situations have occurred where some members get fights going in threads in order to get them shut down, I wanted to at least attempt to make it where people can't shut us down for non-sense, where it would backfire and they acting like fool, would get them banned etc. so I appreciate those who tried to stick up for this thread I hope you fine folks understand.

Edit: Everyone Understands how you feel. Just Quit Apologizing and Posting Comments like this to drag the Thread on. There is a limit, and this is what everyone is referring to on one point. post your content. post your responses to members that are engaged. Don't post useless comments like this just to keep it on the front page. That's Spamming. And will not be tolerated either.
Thanks @ned944
