Making a Riff / Beat with NoTrust

[@DurvalLacerda]

Tim, could you make a video about: - how you practice - the scales you use - what exactly helped you shape your unique way of playing the guitar We admire your style so much and I think everybody wants to see a little bit of the "behind the scenes" of your practicing and how you shaped the way you play

[@graou_paou]

[@DaniQui]

It would be nice, but I think theres no such unique thing that helped him shape his unique way of playing. There must be a lot of things, thoughts, technique exercises, psychological predisposition, etc., that made him develop his style.

Im a 64yr old rocker since age 8, Tim dont let this go to your head, But your guitar is only the fifth step of inavation from guitarists in my lifetime, in order, Hendrix, Jimmie Paige, David Gilmore, Shawn Phillips and you, As you can see, it has been along time since ive seen anybodys playing bring something totally new. Thank you, keep it up, be cautious of success, that and drugs have put an end to so much talent.

[@Ryan_hey]

@@melodica5407 You don't need to crack Reaper; they technically allow you to use it past the 60 days "evaluation" period. However, it's a good idea to purchase it to support the engineers since its a one-time charge; they aren't bleeding your bank account like Pro Tools with their annual fees for updates. P.S. It's only $225 if you're in the music business making $20k+ a year; otherwise you can just get a normal $60 license.

Guitar: Ibanez SC500N The SC500N is an S Classic series solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in 1998. The SC500N is nearly unique among modern Ibanez solid body guitars in that it has nylon strings and eschews magnetic pickups for piezos; only its predecessor the J Custom SC-GUT is configured similarly.

Not going to lie, it took me a fat minute to find that guitar. When I first watched this video I instantly fell in love with the sound of the instrument, so I spent a solid 25 mins searching through old Ibanez guitar pictures just to find out it’s a guitar that is seemingly unavailable for sale! Maybe one day one will come on the market, but until then I’ll just keep re-watching this.
