Hey guys. So I’m an intermediate-advanced player. Know quite a bit of theory, have solid technique and fundamentals but I have always struggled playing at those “peak” tempos Trey pulls out so effortlessly. I feel I am pretty reliably able to build a nice, melodic solo up to a point where I want to make it “peak” but when I try often flub badly trying to take it there

Are there any easier methods to practice to get me there? I play all kinds of scale drills on higher notes but still haven’t found anything reliable. As far as I can tell Trey is just a god of really fast trills and hammer/pull offs? Definitely a weakness of mine but I’m constantly working on it

Any help is appreciated

Hey guys, I own a CE and love it, but I’m thinking about also getting an SE Hollowbody ii piezo to get more jazz/phish sound on an affordable instrument. All the reviews I see about the SE rant and rave how good it is, but very rarely do they compare to the CE. My biggest fear is that I’ll buy something I don’t love and therefore will naturally gravitate to the CE. Should I save for a different archtop instead? Any insights and recommendations would be highly appreciated!

JHS has Ross Compressors for $79 + shipping.

Good luck!

Does anyone here have a quad cortex that has successfully produced most of Trey’s tones? I’m having a hard time dialing it in and the one premade preset someone did called “phishing gear” doesn’t really nail any of the POG or whammy tones.

I’m looking to purchase an M5 Stompbox to achieve that growl tone, and some of the other stuff Trey uses it for.

Does the HX One contain everything the M5 does and then some?

Curious if it’s worth getting over an M5, or if I should stick to the M5 for what I’m trying to achieve.

Definitely going to be using the pedal for other effects, but really want to use that growl tone and dial in the “robo Trey” tone from Summer ‘21.

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.

I love Jam Tracks and make plenty for myself. Jam Track Adventures is just my way of sharing them with you, free of charge, no strings attached.

Feel free to post a video of you jamming to this track. Just include a link to my video.

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!
