The other night while adjusting my intonation, I was struck with a curiosity. When you fret a note, the majority of the change in pitch is because the length of the string has changed, but there is also added tension because you've moved the string from its resting state and this should also...

I though so too. But I was the last to join the band so I wasn't a part of the naming decision. At least no one important remembers the original band anymore

Two months out? That seems reasonable. We do write pretty slow. The music base comes really quickly, usually in a single jam sesh, but once we start adding lyrics half the songs music gets rewritten two or three times. And the lyrics usually take two or three sessions to complete. I'd say we are...

I'd like personal and professional opinions, as well as links to articles, about when bands should start marketing themselves. My bands current situation is that we used the name and old Facebook page of one members past band that only played local gigs a decade ago. So we already have 600...

They're all on fresh. 9V batteries currently, I don't have the proper supply for all three.

I recently bought Compression, Distortion, and Preamp pedals and was working on dialing in a good sound before practice. I had a decent solo sound for a starting point to further refine once the practice started. This was our first practice in our newly built, sound proofed recording studio...

The drummer stays in time and is not the issue. I just have a hard time writing down what I played 2 hours ago when I don't have a metronome playing through both instances. My biggest issue is I tend to turn 1/16 notes with an odd rest pattern between into syncopated tupplets when I go home to...

Hey guys. I am a visual learner and I want to start using a metronome for myself during band practice so that it's easier to understand what I'm playing while we jam so I can write/record it later. Once I write it I find it easier to improve my lines. But using a metronome would require the...
