go play your guitar at stage volume for 3 hours. any GAS pains you might have had should be relieved.
been there done that. Don't need nuthin other than playing and practice time. And more chances to play out.
Did that last night. My amp is the weak spot. After much knob-twirling I found several sounds that were almost what I was looking for, but not quite. Close enough for me right now, but I'm still gassing for a better amp.It'll likely be next year before I can really look at getting one, though. I may try to put together a bit of money for a pedal or two, maye that'll help in the meantime.
On the whole though, it felt amazing and sounded awesome, too.
so if it felt amazing and sounded awesome, then what's the problem?
Probably nothing. I can't put into words exactly what I felt was missing from it, honestly. Probably means I should lower my expectations and practice more.
i dunno. i'm certainly the first to say that anything less than a transcendental experience is unacceptable, but you kind of have to know what's missing before being able to move on. otherwise you're just shooting in the dark.
I'm hoping to get out and try some things here in the next few months so maybe I can figure out just what it is I feel like I'm missing. Problem is, the closest GC to me is in suburban hell so its packed with 13 year olds all damn weekend and I can't really get out there during the week. Not that i'll have the money any time soon for anything anyway, though.
I play at stage volume when I'm at home.
I do that quite often, actually. I'm usually too busy performing to think about my gear though. In my case I know I don't need anything to work with but it's still fun to dream.
A student in my new class tonight brought his pedalboard in with a Fulltone Plimsoul and a Fulldrive among other things...now I have the opportunity to hear a few things I've been curious about
forget about other gear for a second. what do you feel is missing from your sound?
