I've got a MkVII and my lead channel has these three amps to choose from. Which is closest to a MkIII? I'm trying to get that early Trey ultra high gain sound going.

Just posting to say that I’m playing Bob Weirs venue, Sweetwater Music Hall tonight! My band Blackout Make Out is doing all original material. And I’m so fucking excited and nervous. We’re just opening, but this is pretty crazy.

Hello! I am recording a debut album with my band, and this is my first time recording guitar directly into Logic Pro via Universal Audio apollo. The guitar sound is obviously extremely tame direct in, and I am getting a little overwhelmed with all of the amp simulators and different effects options. Does anyone in here have some 'go to' settings they have dialed in for different sounds? thanks in advanced!

Amp was a Hot Rod Deluxe I think

Check out the latest jam track from Jam Track Adventures. Jam Track Here!

This track is based on the funky 60's tune: Let the Sunshine In - by the 5th Dimension.

I remember dancing away at this song when I was little kid in the 70s. I keep thinking this would be a cool song for the Phish to cover. What would it sound like? Give it a shot.

Many people think that jam tracks are for soloing but I use them to practice playing rythm guitar.

If you are learning your bar chords and open chords use them here. Try to pick up on the syncopation of the jam track. And if you ready to move beyond the basics this is also a good opportunity for playing these chords in other parts of the fret board. Being able to play the same chord in different ways in different parts of the fret board is a key skill to learn for the budding guitarist.

And certainly feel free to jam out. I have found that if I first focus on playing the rhythm I will then come up with better solos.

Happy Jamming!!!

Been perfecting the 1.0 sound for years and I’ve gotten extremely close via the pedals. The piece missing for me is what high mid bass settings does Trey use on the boogie? The slider settings were easy enough to find, and I’m sure the mid is dimed. But anyone have knowledge as to the other knob settings on the amp?

all I need is a whammy II instead of the poly blue, boomerang would make me feel incredible as a constant looper, but being able to slow/speed2x/reverse with it does the trick well. It all sounds like myself with a familiar sound at the end of the day which is all that counts!!

I’m really happy with it currently, been working on this since February and there’s some incredibly unique sounds off this board. Feels a bit more mayer’y with the katana in place (and a brand new silver sky SE I’ve been chasing for years) as of a couple days ago but I just joined the worst cover band of my life and fighting an always distorted Marshall full stack is quite hilarious “how’d you get such a clean tone?” “Dude, switch channels for once - we’re playing Dreams by Fleetwood Mac” lmfao can’t teach an old dog old tricks I guess. Katana helps greatly with that.

Anyway, playing anything Phishy sounds great through this and the dyna comp has an excellent Ross feel on a budget. Of course I want an M5, Boomerang, and Whammy II - but this works great for now, and I’m not even in a band that jams yet which sucks so hit me up if you’re in Denver and we can get something going haha! Cheers everyone and whatever you do take care of your shoes, you’ll need them to step on all these switches of course.

This jam track is based on the Phish song: Blaze On. It re-imagines the song in a funkier sort of way. I'd love to hear Phish do a version like this.

The first part which follows the song's verses and choruses allows you to work on your strumming. Try playing the chords in different positions. If you are still working on your bar and open chords go ahead and use them. But if you are starting to expand into playing chords in different parts of the fret board this is a good place to work on them.

The second part of the jam track follows the song's outro lead section. It is a nice basic jam and you can stay in the key of C. A basic C pentatonic scale will do the trick for you:

C, D, E, G, and A

Currently have a PRS SE Hollowbody ii and looking to upgrade my pickups in this thing.

Anyone do anything similar?

Anybody figured out or have a recourse available for the chords to ether edge?

Thank you!

I just learned about the Fender Coronado from the late 60s earlier this week. Fully-hollow, thinline electric guitars with a 25.5" scale length. Has DeArmond pickups, so different than a Doc, but similar in a lot of ways. Has anyone ever had a chance to play one and see if it can get that Trey-style feedback?

Anybody know how to get the elephant-ish noise Trey does sometimes? It sounds like a b7 bending up to a 1 while the same 1 is being sustained on the next string, but is that all it is? (Also I hope this makes sense/people know what I’m referring to). If that’s what it is, anyone know a better technique for doing it other than trying to bar with the index and bend w the pinky? If it’s a pedal, any notes?

Edit: mostly solved now, but if anyone’s still curious as to what I mean:

1:56 in Crossroads from The Spectrum ‘97

8:30 in SASS from the Baker’s Dozen (he just rips out a bunch of them in a row)

You've learned how to play like Trey...but can you think like Trey and apply it to something new?

Playing Phish songs and sounding like Trey is very cool. But I want to think like Trey and apply it to new material. I never want people to say "I sound like Trey". I want them to say "I am great improvisor kind of like Trey."

This jam track is a two chord jams with non-diatonic chords:

Cm11 | F#13

These two chords have very little in common and they switch back and forth pretty quickly. You really need to think on your toes to solo on this one. If you are really brave try fingering the whole chords so you can play arpeggios quickly over them.

It seems like whenever Trey isn’t using his right hand on the strings, he’s noodling around with the volume knob on his guitar. I know a hollow-body is prone to feedback, but is he really riding that line so finely that he has to adjust every time he sustains a note? I don’t get it.

Hi, It's just me playing solo but I'd like to be able to play First Tube in a wa6 that feels "fuller" and more engaging than just me playing the riff over and over. Does anyone here play a nice version of First Tube solo? Do you use a drum track? I'd love some suggestions.

BTW, Bethel Woods' night 2 set 1 was 🔥

Thanks
