You totally made me think of Octavizing my tuning like you suggested D-A-D-A-G-???(E)
Joni Mitchell ain’t bad huh
Very cool ideas
Thx dude. It’s my absolute favorite guitar I ever played. What is crazy bro is …i ordered a Rick Toone !!!!!!!!!!! And then this came in and I was like damn I just spent down payment on a house or a car lmao when this guitar is literally literally , absolutely perfect in every way . No exaggeration
As a Swedophile I love strandberg. What do you think of the temperament true frets????
You’re totally good enough , but you’re right, you need another guitar - I have a recommendation (it’s native to your country , a little brand called ARISTEDES lmao
You can probably get one for under $2500 USD OR maybe 2000 euro ? Since they are plentiful and abound in Europe and Sweden
+1 damn straight schmo
When you say struggling to keep tone clean let’s talk, what’s your rig? What do you dial in? What’s your pickups ?
Ha ha, I'm happy when I'm at the end of the month and still have some coins left. If I had that kind of money though, the first thing wouldn't be a guitar but a computer upgrade.
That Aristedes 9-String, jissus the neck is like a football field. 🤪😅
You guys are too nice and I feel now, like I wrote that so you could say this. I wasn't though.
It's not the rig but a health, medication and age issue.
Let's leave it there, please, as it's the most boring subject ever.
That was a bit mind blowing. Never even considered anything like that. Way too old to change now though. Only tunings I use are Standard E, Eb and Drop D in both tunings. Still trying to come to terms with what I was a 7th string to be. I know B tends to be popular but I have it as an A at present which provides some opportunities I like. Would be interested to know how people use a low B in a 7 string context.
@Schmotown Blew me away when Joni roles out with a weapon like that Parker. Although, lightweight is a nice thing when the body starts to groan. Maybe that's why I like playing my headless.
My headless is one of these [https://hazeguitar.com.au/collections/electric-guitar/products/haze-light-blue-headless-electric-guitar-hh-solid-body-free-gig-bag-hzhl-1a-bl]
Quality is just ok on the core build (for the money) and very poor on the components and support.
I've been emailing them since May 22, 2024 for a few issues, and even IF they reply, they never follow through with promises made.
Malfunctioning tuner (replaced it myself)
Misaligned truss rod access hole (drilled out to access truss rod myself)
Screws at the nut are crap (one with partly damaged female thread)
Locking nut bearings fall out changing strings and are pretty much impossible to find (lost, gone forever, no idea what size, should not be a separate part).
Saddle burrs keep breaking string but I've fixed them as the are discovered.
The string ball came flying out of the bridge (tuned to Eb with 10-46). The metal housing the string ball sits in gave way and now the bridge needs to be replaced.
A lot of trouble but I just wanted a kick around and I like playing it more than that so I'm still happy. If repairs start to mount up too high though I'll be questioning my frugal decision.
Also, I ripped the neck pick up out. Partly my playing style but I couldn't position it where it was not in my way so I just removed it and left a nice big hole for pick swinging.
Dub Post
Too funny!
Got this in my feed, I don't know who the guy is but thought it was pretty fun watch (man does he have long fingers). 'I am Colossus' was the first Meshuggah song I heard.
edit: wrong song title
Freaking awesome
Thank you
Meshuggah is so fun
I’m glad I’m not the only fan
(Btw that dude does have quite long fingers)
Burn it
Old school former instructor (in a music store) "any recorded song/any style" in the days of shred
Know/play lots of Satriani, Vai, Schon (instrumental tracks only)); lately trying to wrap my mind around Jakub Zytecki who was mind-blowing at the age of 15 (so was Neal Schon). Favorite guitars include an Ibanez JS3 (rare; bought for $1200), Les Paul Axcess with Fernandez Sustainer and a Floyd; modified Eric Clapton strat for sometimes and some homemade offerings as I love to cut things (wife: "why do you have to take everything apart?")
Great idea for a thread;
Cheers fellow axe brothers
I've put a fair amount of work into it and it's handy so no. But if I knew then what I know now I would have looked elsewhere. Unfortunately it was a an economy based purchase.
Apologies; was said tongue in cheek after reading how many problems you found; sounds like you have put a lot of good effort into making it usable actually.
No, you were right. I should burn it. But I won't let me.
I've been checking a lot of videos about the free will conundrum (we don't have it) and that sentence captures that thing great. It's this Robert Sapolsky (Stanford) guy I find especially intriguing.
I'm going to be honest with ya'll though - I don't understand as much as I want on the subject, it's frustrating.
Philosopher of science Sir Karl Popper pointed out if we have no free will and our will and thoughts are "determined" then determinism itself is rendered unarguable. Whatever we think would be thought simply because we had to think thus:
"According to determinism, any theory such as say determinism is held because of a certain physical structure of the holder -perhaps of his brain. Accordingly we are deceiving ourselves and are physically so determined as to deceive ourselves whenever we believe that there are such things as arguments or reasons which make us accept determinism. In other words. physical determinism is a theory which, if it is true, is unarguable since it must explain all our reactions, including what appear to us as beliefs based on arguments, as due to purely physical conditions. Purely physical conditions including our physical environment make us say or accept whatever we say or accept” (Sir Karl Popper, Objective Knowledge, p. 224).
We would be incapable of saying or thinking otherwise than whatever we do, and science, rationality, and sound argument that transcend our holding to whatever we do simply because we have to are rendered completely out of the question.
@Pxlhg @UrbanNinja I'm a bit of a psychology nut myself. That excerpt "we are deceiving ourselves" is a real issue I think. It's one of the things that I really try to be aware of. But it seems to be one of the things people are blissfully aware of, and rather than look inward, will just argue the point of view. It's a real individual challenge if you try to manage it. I've read a lot about cognitive biases. The tough thing is when you read a lot about them you see them everywhere.
I wasn't really mentioning it to start a debate or worse, an argument. I just thought that, that statement you wrote was so spot on. Cheers brothers
No I wasn't either. No intention to argue whatsoever. Maybe just a language glitch between us. What I wrote was a long and perhaps self focused way of saying I agree. The "we are deceiving ourselves" wasn't your statement, so maybe a bit confusing trying to respond to both of you with a single post.
No no, it was a poor choice of word, and yes: language might be confusing but, it's more text interactions I think. It's very difficult to cover every alley or turn in a message.. I did not read you like that at all. I was just saying .. 😃 All good!
So, in other words I should not feel bad about that new guitar I have on order, as I apparently had no choice in ordering it?
Depends entirely on what guitar you ordered. If it's as dry as your humour, you should cancel the order.😉
If free will is an illusion on one's view they would have no such choices
Yes, all good
If you really wanna wrestle the idea do it with someone who understands it better than I do. I mean I get the core concept and I somewhat agree without fully understanding what I'm agreeing on. There's plenty of scholars on the subject who can challenge you, if that's what you want. I already expressed: I don't! ☺️
Also and again, I found Ailerom's expression: "But I won't let me" very timely with some videos I've seen.. that's that for me. 🙃
Now I'm going to play some guitar (no commentary on that necessary) which is so much more fun.
Cheers Urban (it is a forename in Sweden, if you didn't know) 😃
I studied the topic in considerable depth in college, grad school, and afterward and actually know the "challenge" quite well.
The actual reason I chimed in citing a major philosopher of science who is well known for establishing determinism is unprovable (not just on the grounds cited above) was not because I was looking for an argument, but because you expressed your view so dogmatically and in an academically misleading manner:
( "I've been checking a lot of videos about the free will conundrum ( we don't have it )"
-as if your belief, one which you grant you have limited understanding of no less(!), is beyond question when the absolute opposite is the case. Maybe you didn't mean to come off that way; indeed no one reasonably should given in contemporary academia hard determinism is, a decidedly minority position.[1] To suggest otherwise is to mislead others. I wouldn't pick on anyone for expressing a personal belief, or referring to evidence or scholarship or schools of thought in favor of minority views or views not universally accepted -all that's just fine- but to pawn off a view as if it is some sort of unassailable fact is different and that is what it seemed to me you had done. I'm certainly not upset in the least at you for having done so, but I would be remiss with my background not to point out that your passing off your belief as if a certainty is full of hot air. As the saying goes you are entitled to your own beliefs but not to your own facts.
I first became interested in the topic when I noticed major figures studied in different academic departments had such starkly opposite and mutually excluding views on determinism and freedom which it was claimed were proven by data, but I won't go into that as most of us including myself are more interested in discussing music here.
[1] Compare hard determinist Robert Sapolsky who Pxlhg cited above grants: "I should add about 90-95%t of philosophers agree that there’s free will, and steadfastly hold onto it..." A dedicated study to the matter was only slightly less generous: "...the results of a multi-disciplinary survey of academics reveal that 80% of those surveyed believe free will is real" Belief Among Academics in Free Will and in the Veracity of Scientific Judgement** ; cf. also the Blackwell Companion to the Philosophy of Science articles against minority scholarship denying the rationality of science on the basis of theories of epistemological determinism, the sociology of knowledge, sociological determinism of scientific knowledge, and so on.
"You can choose a ready guide
In some celestial voice
If you choose not to decide
You still have made a choice
You can choose from phantom fears
And kindness that can kill
I will choose a path that’s clear
I will choose free will.
There are those who think that
They were dealt a losing hand
The cards were stacked against them
They weren’t born in Lotus-Land.
All pre-ordained
A prisoner in chains
A victim of venomous fate
Kicked in the face
You can’t pray for a place
In Heaven’s unearthly estate
Each of us
A cell of awareness
Imperfect and incomplete
Genetic blends
With uncertain ends
On a fortune hunt
That’s far too fleet…" -Rush
One of these, hopefully it passes the test.
What is that? Looks a lot like my Gretsch but can't see any labels. Nice color, I'm a fan of Olive.
We were talking about open tunings earlier in this thread so I thought you might be interested in this which just went live today. (Eric’s my favorite YT guitar instructor):
Thanks, good stuff.
It’s a Harley Benton HB35 Plus, Thomann’s in house brand. Seems to be getting very good reviews at a good price so I thought it was worth a punt. They’ve had very long lead times on them though and it seems this model has now sadly been discontinued (but my order should still be fulfilled according to the latest info I’ve received).
