This is our 4th band practice. We are working on songs by Weezer, Smashing Pumpkings, The Cure, The Cranberries and Nirvana. We just want to show you what this process is really like. Do not be afraid to play music with others. Keep going!

That's so cool how the drummer is ambidextrous!!

[@mrelmoresmusiclab]

It’s funny you should mention that I never even noticed that until I started seeing the video. Ha ha
yeah, we’re really just trying to find our way and build some cohesion at this point. It’s so fun trying to figure all this out though. Ha ha keep going my friend.

You should just get a one piece wrap around tailpiece with the adjustable saddles. They don't look original but the guitar will be in better and stay in tune. I'm sure Gotoh makes one that's kick ass. BTW the LP is the right guitar for "Say it ain't so". Rivers Cuomo from Weezer used a similar guitar to record the album. He borrowed a Les Paul with p90s from Rick Ocasek. Weezer and Oasis are my jam. =w= 🎸🤘

That is really great advice! Yeah, I love this guitar so much and would love to use it live more, but the wrap arounds make it a bit of pain. I did hear that too about how Rick Ocasek had him play an LP with P 90.s The sound of P 90's is so nice. I will check out the Gotoh piece. I have heard great things about them. Thanks again for the feedback. :)

Try the Music City bridge on the LP Special. Is that one of the current new standard run LP Specials? What amp were you playing into?

[@mrelmoresmusiclab]

I'v heard great things about those. That's a Revv D20 with a Mojo Tone 112 cab. Sounds great. :)

[@petertiffany8096]

@@mrelmoresmusiclab Never played into a Revv before. Currently, I am playing into one of the StewMac 5w Champ kits that I put together in January 2024 now (it works and sounds great) but also have a Headstrong Lil King on order. The champ will always be with me, but I do miss on board reverb and tremolo.

That's awesome...the Revv is amazing. I use it as more of a pedal platform amp. Set it clean on the edge of breakup. I missed your question on the LP as well. That one I bought in 2019. Just a standard Gibson LP Special in TV Yellow. The thing is awesome. I need to do a whole overview of my gear setup.
I bet that little Stew Mac kit is awesome! Bete the head strong will be awesome too. So many choices out there. Keep jamming and lots more to come.
