Hahaa! This song is played in Eb tuning and the Charvel is in D. Tried to transpose the tuning digitally but it sounded like crap so decided to pick my good old budget Les Paul. 😁

Thanks bro! 😊

Appreciate it dude!

Hi, did you by any chance save your presets to your computer with rig manager? If not then I don't think you can restore them. :(

I'll keep that in mind! :)

Plus they look cool!😎

Thanks man! Hmmm... Not really. It's unique for me and with all the mods I've made I would need to get a way too large sum for it to even consider selling. So if I were to sell it would probably bee over expensive to buy... 😅

@@lassikuusela understandable man! i have been looking for one for a long time so i would be happy to make a generous offer! If you're interested at all let me know!

Thanks dude! That sounds cool, hope you get some nice tunes out of it!

Hmmm... not sure why you can not get any signal but if you want on be able to control the volume of the direct out then try changing the signal that is fed to that channel. It looks like the volume is greyed out if you are using Di Low but for Di High, Stack, etc. it becomes available. Hope this helps!

Nice that I could be of assistance!

If you can find an ESP dealer from your country they might be able to order those for you!

Cool mate!

Yea, sure! And I do try to keep 100% control when practicing. So the key for me has been to NOT play to fast which happens so easily. But then again I also do try to push the speed with burst practice etc.

It's an Edwards Star that I found on reverb and bought due to its v-shaped neck profile. As it turns out it's a great piece of a guitar indeed! These are made for Japanese market so a little hard to come by elsewhere.

@@lassikuusela looks like a great compliment to your Ferrari red Star (Charvel???)!!

@@jswazz9264 Truly is and this actually has a slightly different shape that allows better reach for the 22nd fret which is awesome! (yea the red one's a Charvel ☺)

No problem mate! I am going straight to my audio interface and record the clean DI-signal, so I can later feed that to recodred track to an amp if I want to adjust the amp-settings.

Also a thinner pick is going to sound a bit better when strumming chords on a steel string acoustic too.

And in the end its possible to obsess endlessly about finding the "perfect pick" but as you said your brain will compensate for whatever pick you are playing with so I feel like its important to just "get close enough" and then just stick with that pick hahah

@@kaukomieli Yep! At some point it's good to just stay with one size and start syncing with it. But every now and then it is fun to experiment and see if your preferences has changed! Thanks for the comments!

Dunlop Primetone sculpted jazz 3. Those are my go-to picks after lots of trial and error

☺

It is very nice indeed!

No problem mate! Glad to hear you dig it ☺️

Aaaaahhh.... Did not think of that, but now that you said it, makes sense. So when combined with the neck pup you'd expect to hear something. I don't usually play with the center position and definetly did not compare them 😅I will have to try it but I may lack the energy to switch again to compare... 😁

I have a 500xl in a PRS McCarty, flipped, the out of phase is great.

I don’t believe that’s how that works.

The magnet inside of the humbucker itself needs to reversed for an out of phase sound.

@@pee6611 well then how come i have an out of phase "kirk hammet wah" sound in the middle position then ? Maybe the wiring ?

Mine ought to be the original from Bill him self.

There is not such thing as a pickup made by bill himself. ell except on vintage gibsons maybe. They're both "another company" only on is made by the wilde family, who are seasoned professionals, and the other a By a businessman who bought the name but not the skill.

@@Soldano999 yea that's one big mess... I ment the Wilde then... I think...Maybe... 😅

@@Soldano999Lol what are you talking about, Bill Lawrence USA were the original designs Willi made in the 70s/80s, him and his parter split up and his parter is still making the originals under the BRAND name “Bill Lawrence USA” and Willi Stich went on to make Wilde pickups, which are different because than the originals because they are made with alnico magnets as opposed to ceramic. Both are good, none are bad, and they are both designed by the same guy. Stop spreading ignorant nonsense

Thanks mate! That would be quite a video 😊I have been doing this Routine Guitar Exercises -series where I post videos about the different exercises that I my self do. I would'nt say they are "Teaching videos" but more like a way to share the stuff that I work on when practicing. Check it out if you are interested! Here is the link to the playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLstxWO98N8fdoTgBkaekrMqrvyTlKkOzL.html

@@lassikuusela Thanks dude! I already watched about half of them yesterday! Still... I would love to see a vid with several licks in them that combine picking and legato like you did in this one. I find those licks a lot easier to get going fast than ones that are all picked.

@@PixelThief69 I'll keep that in mind ☺️

Thanks mate, it's a fine piece! 😎

@@lassikuusela I really want a guitar like that

Yea, I feel like I always rushed with speed even though I thought I was playing slow :D Now I think I have learned to listen to my sound and feel the loosnes/tightness when playing. Making it sound good while practicing has made a huge difference in developing skills!

Thanks dude! And thank you for the precious feedback! ☺️

You might be correct. However I have never done that and it has worked fine. But theoratically that could create more stress on the guitar...

It is Roland TD50, very nice e-kit indeed.

Thank you very much

Aren't we all desperate to becoming great musicians? 😅 Well, it is a long road and I think one of the most important things to keep in mind are consistency and playing with control. So try to play everyday and don't force anything but listen and feel your playing, try to make it feel and sound good. That usually means you have to slow things down. What comes to theory... I think learning songs in the beginning is a great way to learn music and its basics. Once you are getting pretty good and have played all kinds of musical things you can start to take a more deep dive to theory. For me theory was next to cancer until I had played for a long time and wanted to learn to understand my playinig further. Now that I have true motivation to learn theory it has been fast, fun and really mind blowing. You could try to find a teacher that helps you with guitar as well as theory once it feels relevant. If you have motivation and are a selflearning-type then you can try to find learning material from the internet! Hope this answer was even a bit usefull! Despite of everything... Keep picking! 😎

@@lassikuusela thank but feels like im not getting better i feel stuck sometimes have you ever experience that before

@@jokes-vm8gf for sure! Especially when practicing faster stuff I have felt like not getting any better. The biggest thing to overcome this was to learn to really listen to my self and letting go of what I wanted to sound like. I try to play with only 100% control especially when practicing. I feel like that has gave good results.

Thanks dude!

Yea, I know most peple might consider 3mm quite high, but for me it feels real nice. I feel like I have more control and feel to the strings. But I am always experimenting so this is just My current setup 😁

​@@lassikuusela I'm going to measure the action on my usual guitar... a second... edit: 12 fret: 6th = 1.5mm; 1st string = 1mm.. 😓may be too low... I think I should raise the strings a bit 🤔. the guitar is super comfortable... but there is a little fret buzz noise... I think raise the strings a little will be convenient.

@@danidcr maybe you can try 2mm on the 6th string and 1,5mm on the 1st? I think that is quite common setup.

But remember, what ever feels and sounds right for you is the best!

thanks! :)

Thanks! :)

No problemo :)

Ahh man... I can't really say. I have reversed the Bill Lawrence on this guitar cause Dimebag Darrel did it and I wanted to see it made a difference to my sound. I did not reallynotice anything huge and I think it was cause I had so much gain going on. Now my sound is starting to be a bit less gainy and I have noticed some weird characteristics on this guitars sound compared to my others and have started wondering if the reversed pickup is the cause. I am thinking of making a video where I test the sound difference of this pickup normal/reversed. But over all if your pickup is slightly tilted like in strats, reversing your pick might make more of a difference I think. But can't really tell you ow it alters the sound yet :D

@@lassikuusela thanks for the honest reply, a video comparison if it is easy for you some time in the future would be nice

Thanks dude! ☺️

No, did not build it my self. Bought it and had some modifications done to it afterwards! :) It is a nice piece though!

That sound interesting! Got to try it out. This fix on The video works only for sometime and then needs to be redone...

@@lassikuusela grab any pen that has the click, and the spring has the perfect fit!

It's a Charvel star

@@lassikuusela its sick 🎸

Gonna try that definetly! Just gotta get my ass off to the store, harder than you would think 😅

Love those pop in FR setups👍was gonna get one for my new Schaller Lockmeister but it’s solid, maybe replace it if it wears out down the road.

Hmm.. I've never heard of those pop in arms. Sound interesting! Are they all tight and clonky-free? :D This was more of a fast fix with nothing to work on but if a more permanent solution is found it would be superb.

What do you mean by tightening the underside? The arm is loose in the solid cavity which can not me tightened. That push arm thing sound cool and would be interested to try one! Did not know about them.
