Glenn (and Trump) seem to forget that the only reason he won was because Dems ran a dogshit candidate. Now that they’re not I don’t see VA going to Trump.
Glenn Youngkin is a spineless opportunist who thinks he knows better than everyone else because he has money. Remember that when he tries to run for President.
It’s a cult. You’ll never be able to make sense of it.
Thank fuck they slammed it. That’ll show those pesky fascists.
I bought these for my Les Paul last year. They fit perfectly.
Depends on the role and company you’re applying for but I’d say if you’re going for something entry level or if you have no experience they help.
I know some helpdesk places near me require A+, NET+, and SEC+ at hire or within the first 6 months. Whereas I’m a small business IT manager and I look at those certs as bonuses for entry or mid level positions. I’m way more interested in your work experience than how many certs you have.
A few recommendations:
All of these can be found used and new under $100.
Fuck this asshole. Few people have done as much damage as he has and the worst part is we’re only going to get someone worse.
Like you said it’s important to reduce noise during recording. It does build up when you have more pedals especially big digital ones. If you’re just playing with a few pedals and don’t notice significant noise you’re probably good for now.
I do think it’s a good investment if you plan to get more pedals simply for the fact that many of them have outputs that allow you to power bigger pedals or switch up to 18v for pedals that support that.
The bottom line is if you don’t like how it sounds or feels then return it.
Now if you want advice:
You talk about the “tele sound” a lot. Could you be more specific about what that means to you? Telecasters can basically do any genre, they’re very versatile. I think you’ll be fine if you keep it.
You’re also a beginner. If you’re not playing in a band I don’t think it’ll matter too much which guitar you have. Think of it as learning what you like and don’t like.
You should tune your guitar. Not only is it good to train your ears but your guitar is designed to have strings on it that are in tune. Leaving the strings too loose might cause the neck to bend in undesirable ways. Especially if you’re in an area where the temperature changes each season.
Also, you’re not going to break strings from getting it in tune unless you go several steps above the intended note. Learning what an in tune string sounds like will help you avoid that.
I hate how accurate this is
Probably would help if you could send pics of all the wiring. Much easier to troubleshoot if we can see everything.
You could build a modular synth that you could run your guitar through but that’s a real expensive rabbit hole.
The Moog Grandmother is a traditional mono synth that has an instrument input on the back that you can plug a guitar into. Not sure if that is what you’re looking for.
Honestly if you picked up a guitar that felt good to play that’s in your price range just buy it dude. I have a few Mexican and American fenders and love them all. Can’t go wrong with a PRS either, you might find one with coil tapping that will get you more tonal options.
String thickness is kind of personal preference. Thicker strings won’t give you different notes but they will sound more pronounced than thinner strings.
I find thicker strings really come into play when you’re doing alternate tunings. Especially drop tunings like Drop D, Whole Step Down, Drop C, etc. This is because when you loosen thinner strings for those lower tunings the notes won’t ring clear because the strings will be super loose and buzzy. Those tunings really only come into play for playing heavy metal. Some “metal” guitars are specifically set up for those lower tunings too.
I believe Steve Ray Vaughan was also rumored to play on .13s (.13 being the high E string thickness). So again thickness is kind of personal preference unless you’re doing low tunings. I think most people use .10s like you do.
Yeah I know Adam uses their amps. It’s on my radar I just have so many drive pedals lol. My two notes cab simulator has a Tool setting too.
Yeah for the first few months I had it I was running just Regular Slinks but every time I went to D the string got too saggy and was hard to do chugs on.
I haven’t kept up with Gibson for a few years now but I thought they had a big dip in quality in the past 5 years? Not sure if that’s changed or not. Someone else might be able to chime in. I guess my point is the differences between “budget” brands and “real” brands is getting slimmer.
I’m a bedroom guitarist to I run through a two notes torpedo cab+ straight into Logic. Usually just have it on a fender bassman emulation.
I tell people to play this game all the time and that it’s the “real” Bioshock 3
I fucking hate that guy
