Super cool! Can we get a picture of the controls?

Yeah I knew it would be when and not if on the advancing guitarist popping up. I got my copy of it like 10 years ago, and I definitely wasn't ready for it. Only relatively recently am I really starting to get a lot out of it.

I'm not familiar with the other one but will have a look!

I've heard good things about that book, but never had a look myself. I definitely put really learning the fretboard off for way too long - felt like an asshole once I put in the time on it and realized how much it opened things up for me!

Oh God I think I spent more on batteries for that thing in 3 months than I did for the actual handheld.

"what kind of sound can you get out of it?" "Yes."

Clever idea but probably really a niche case - but I could see it making its way into the marketing for when e.g. Gibson puts out high end replicas of their old 60s guitars

This makes me nostalgic for when I lived alone and had my studio setup permanently online. Playing barefoot on a carpet over hardwood is great vibes!

Well said. I'd also be curious to see what OP thinks about it with his (presumably) young eyes. I'd probably pay actual money to watch him Livestream when he gets to Tubular

Cool, TIL, thanks for sharing!

Good luck! I personally started to use compression in my chain much more once I started thinking of it as a waveform shaping tool.

Oh, excellent, I subbed to it!

It used to be not embarrassing myself at the next rehearsal, but nowadays a big motivator is setting a good example for my kid and showing him the value of putting in the work to get results.

Some acoustic focused amps would have a separate xlr input for a mic.

If you don't have one of those then you're pretty much out of luck. Mic and instrument level are different things, so your amp won't be set up for the mic signal level.

I'd go for a cheapo separate setup, either a dedicated mini PA or run the mic into a mixer and out through some speakers. Also be aware that some microphones require a powered connection to operate, although most all mixers will have at least one channel that can do this.

IMO the best bang for your buck mic is a Shure SM57. You can use it for everything from vocals to an amp to a snare drum.

Not sure about Docker integration but I use Asana for this sort of thing.

I've really got to go get a sack of msg to play with. How much do you add as a starting point?

Pretty! Are those things actually fully hollow? I never saw one in person but always assumed they were semis because of the fixed bridge.

This guy Fuchs.

For real though, nice corner. Would love to play an old 330 one day.

Looks good, what's your go-to seasoning for fried rice?

I'm not familiar with the exact tone OP wants but a compressor is a safe place to start if they want sustain without additional coloring.

What DAW are you using OP? The stock comp plugin should be totally serviceable.

If you like platformers and haven't done it already you should play both Super Mario 3 on NES and Super Mario World on SNES. Still really great to play but also a good history lesson - a lot of staple design concepts were pioneered in those games!

Staying in the platformer genre, the original Rayman on PSX wil always be one of my favorites. Wonderful, unique art and sound design. Starts off very slow but becomes fiendishly difficult as you keep going. Be advised that it was designed with limited lives and some brutal gauntlets between save points. Save scumming with your emulator is probably going to be good for your sanity here.
