There's a reason they're used for distortion heavy music. They're great if you wanna play hard and not break a string but you won't get other than shit low end from them. Sometimes you have to "calibrate" your guitar for thicker strings. If you play with 12s for example you get plenty of more sustain than 10s if your guitar is set up right. You will also get a much fuller sound, but don't expect to bend those mofos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thongrider Posted December 14, 2020 Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 I've been recording a lot lately. I'm also gonna start writing some new songs again in the next weeks. Just write as much as possible and see what Styx. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedo Posted December 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 I loaded the old album to CDBaby to put it up on Spotify and other streaming services and they rejected the artwork (first spoiler tag) because it used potentially copyrighted images of social media/public figures. Fucking lame. Anyway, so now the demos will have my friend's cat licking it's asshole as the artwork (second spoiler).

Speedo Posted January 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2021 I never really bothered with Alkaline Trio before, I mean I've heard and like a few of their songs but I never sat down and learned any of them ... I was fucking around this morning and figured out Armageddon. It kind of opened my eyes vocally ... I never really spent anytime figure out my vocal range or keys, I always just sort of sang the best I could to varying degrees of success (mostly failure). Learning Armageddon, I found myself singing and matching Skiba's vocals on the verses comfortably and a lightbulb went off. I spent the rest of the day reworking my own songs into different keys to better suit my vocals ... my voice is an instrument now ... a shitty one ... but an instrument nonetheless ... my voice is a First Act guitar ... my voice is a kazoo. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that makes a lot of sense, that song is quite low as well so it's interesting, curious to hear what you do with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thongrider Posted January 24, 2021 Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 I'm gonna record some stuff again. I'm not really that happy with it, but I think recording these meh songs will maybe make me see something in them I haven't yet, or even better, inspire me to write better songs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kay Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 I got interviewed for a podcast recently, just talking about songwriting, and my God it was a cool discussion. mostly talking about emotional songwriting and how it impacts life and mental health and stuff. easily the best interview I've had haha. I never have those kinds of discussions with people so it was truly fascinating to talk to another songwriter like that. when it comes out I shall link ya'll, if you wanna hear me douche it up for like an hour. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedo Posted February 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 I have finally finished the songs needed for the 2 projects I have in the works. 24 songs written in total, ended up using 20 of them between the 2. I am quite fucking proud of this, I had writer's block for years. It's nice to get it all out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
