Is 50% about as low as it goes for discounts?

As a new player I'm wondering when is the best time to buy new tables at discount prices?

Frustrated. I have been using bad picking technique for 6 years.

Oof. I feel like a moron. I have always, without realizing, had a "dart throwers" grip that results in the bottom part of my palm to lift which creates a downward escape motion or none at all. This is now causing problems with faster, longer passages and making them sound like dogshit. Unfortunately, now I have to spend all summer or more consciously breaking a bad, ingrained habit.

It makes me sick to my stomach that I actually thought I was hot shit on guitar and now just realize I'm cringe as it gets. Eating a few slices of humble pie today.

Are there are local artists/bands who play 80s style guitar metal/shred?

Amongst the likes of Yngwie Malmsteen, Jason Becker, Joe Stump. Not so much the 80s look but the fast paced guitar but has singing and not screaming/grunting type of metal.

With the nice weather finally coming I would like to get out to some shows this summer. I have floor tickets for Bryan Adams.

Does this sound clean? You can hear the note articulation?

I'm working on something and am curious to know what you hear. Specifically the individual notes being played, as opposed to a blur. This isn't a song nor supposed to be melodic. Alternate picking while trying to have clear and precise notes. I changed something in my technique.

Joe Stump - The Dark Gift

Joe posted this to his social media and announced a new album this fall. This guy is a master in the neoclassical techniques.

Have you ever seen a middle aged Magic Mike/Neo Classical act?

Currently there is nobody doing this in my area and I'm seeing this as a quick cash grab. It pulls in the lonesome loser guitarists for the elite level playing and pulls in all the babes for the body and dancing. Add in classical music that is public domain as well as being pleasant to the ear.

A stage name is obviously needed and I would use Michael Landon.

Bach dat Ass Up this Saturday!

Michael Landon live! 19+

SOLD OUT!!!!

Got creamed in Bronze ranked. Opponents are playing extremely better than they did in Platinum last phase.

This was nuts. I felt like I couldn't react at all. How is this person in low tier bronze and has this skill set? I feel in over my head.
