Music With Marky

My latest is about breaking free of bad mental habits (although the videographer interpreted it about physical addictions): Breaking Habits | Official Video

I guess it depends on how well it's run by the new owners?

Thanks for checking it out and adding your thoughts!

Dayunggg!!! Nice!!!

Thanks guys!

Thanks!

I loved his show at the PAC here. I'd recommend it!

I just want to share a new track I released. Hope everyone has been well over here! [video:youtube]

Oh yeah dude! Congrats and enjoy!

I will share my latest release: The Devil's Prize =]

CONGRATS!

The latest single from my Unite The Divide project just released. Woohoo! [video:youtube]

Oh yeah Mike Dawes. The guys is amazing.

Interesting. As I mentioned in the header to it, I did it all as part of a songwriting lesson. I wanted newer guitar players to realize that, just like learning other people's licks at first, you should learn other people's song structures and work from there. Thanks for checking it out!

Thanks!

I hope it's cool to post this here. It's not go ads on it, although I do reference the lesson video which does. Anyway, I wanted to do a songwriting thing where I show how to use a famous song to make a template to write your own. The full song video for the final product is here: [video:youtube]

I thought open Spotify was free. Ummm it's on Amazon and Deezer and a bunch others. Do you do any streaming stuff? My kids just gave a 1 year subscription to Spodify to my wife for her birthday. The cost was $99. I went to your link Marky and would have to sign up to watch the video/audio and would probably get a free trial. But I'm not willing to do that. I will never sign up for sites just to watch a video/audio. On a Facebook post, I will not be able to watch what people link to that site either...Your YouTube links are a better way to go IMHO. Hmm; I've already got Spotify for free; when I first went to that link Marky posted above, it prompted me to sign-up to register, even though I'm already registered- so I just opened Spotify from my shortcut, then refreshed the browser-tab I'd opened from Marky's link, signed-in to my existing account and then I was just able to play it. Dang that's a pain. I appreciate you went through the steps to listen!

Understood. =] I'll be posting a video for it in the next couple weeks and will share here for sure.

Thanks, man!

For those of you guys who use it...

Excellent info!!! It's not so much about string tension- though that is a part of it- as it is, scale-length and the way that effects the ratio of fundamental-note to harmonic-overtones. The longer a string, the greater the amount of harmonic-overtones, including increased odd-order harmonic-overtones, as well as even-order harmonic-overtones. The longer the string, the more 'breathing room' there is to allow these overtone sub-divisions of the vibrating pattern to bloom and sustain and be heard along with or over the fundamental note. The shorter the scale-length, the more predominant the fundamental-note will be, with subtler overtones. For example, note the way that a Strat or Tele will have a twangier, wranglier tone, particularly on the low strings, less mud, more akin to the low keys on a grand piano; more harmonic-overtone 'swirl'. The treble-strings will be brighter, more biting, a bit thinner and edgier. Whereas shorter scale-length guitars like Les Pauls or shorter scale-length Fenders, etc., will have plonkier bass-strings, plumper mids, and rounder, warmer, fatter treble-strings- more fundamental, less overtones. Think, higher keys on a baby grand piano, or upright piano, as opposed to the grand piano. Or compare longer scale-length basses to short scale-length basses. These multi-scaled, fanned-fret arrays bring crisper tones with more harmonic overtones to their bass-strings, and rounder, warmer tones to their treble-strings than there would be if the design had the same scale-length for all of the strings across the fretboard. Though, yes, these also allow more appropriate string-tension for the lower strings, tuned very low; while allowing more agreeable tension for the higher strings, with less likelihood of their being prone to breaking when tuned up to pitch. Not too different from when I went from a very short-scaled axe with a fixed bridge, to a Strat-stylee with a floating whammy; and THEN to a Les Paul! I really had to adjust my bending technique and feel!

Nope not at all. You don't even notice it when you're playing.

Just not my cup~o~tea amigo, I didn't think it was ugly, just not my style. It's cool. My bandmates have been teasing me about it incessantly now. =] My skin aint thin a bit.

When I do the video review of this, the cover is going to be "I Like Love Ugly Things" and it'll be this guitar next to my pug. =] I have a couple guitars that only a select group of people consider pleasing to the eye and I'm okay with it. I have very unusual taste.
