Due to the impending death of my laptop I will soon be absent from the forum. The poor thing sounds like a garden strimmer whenever I turn it on now, and I have not got the funds for a new one. It may hold out for a day or a week, who knows. I would like to wish you all the best of fortune going forward, and also thank you for the kind comments concerning my playing & writing. It's not all doom and gloom though as I still have four excellent guitars and an amp, so I will continue to write and play. G 👍🏻

Hi guitarwavers, @Sebastian Jautschus recently talked about tremolo stacking, which made me revisit the topic as well. I do have a tremolo on my pedalboard, but I hadn’t really found a plug-in version that felt convincing to me. While looking for a harmonic tremolo, I came across this free one by Musical Entropy called 'The Great Escape.' It sounds rather organic than clinical and has a few interesting features: - The speed reacts to playing intensity - You can trigger a second tremolo - Overall it behaves quite dynamically instead of being purely static I’ve attached a short example below (tremolo slightly exaggerated for demonstration) from a new song I’m currently working on. Might be interesting for anyone exploring movement and depth in clean tones. Here’s the link: https://www.musicalentropy.com/TheGreatEscape.html

here it is—this is february's focus topic. puh, tbh, I've been shying away from this one a bit bc I find it a pretty tough nut to crack. but I'm sure together we can have a solid go at it 🐿️ so let's figure out together how to turn passive listeners into superfans, how to build community, and real connections around your music. any insights, thoughts, experiences are welcome. by the end of the month, I'll collect all our insights and present them to you in our focus topic call. also if you know a guitarist who did engage their audience very well, please suggest them here so I can try to get them on the podcast 🦦

Debussy is my favourite composer, and Clair de Lune is my favourite of his many wonderful pieces. This video is my wee tip of the hat to the great man, may he rest in peace. I hope it brings you a moments joy, as it always does for me 😊 https://youtu.be/JeKejkUzzKo

let's get to know each other. comment below, sharing a photo of your (current fav) guitar, how you got into making instrumental guitar music, and maybe what you do besides making music. I'm happy to have you here 🫶🏼 PS: oh also please feel free to link your music! PPS: there's also an app of Skool btw. which makes keeping up with what's happening in here a little easier.
