    Youtube guitarists asking for cash via patreon, opinions??

    Never hurts to ask. If a musician can make more doing vids, or at least bolster income by it, why wouldn't they? Frankly I'm waiting for acts to just start streaming rehearsals or jams on Twitch. They'll likely find that after everything is factored in, it's more lucrative than playing live.

    That sounds stupendous. Congrats, you must be completely stoked!

    I'd miss the flexibility, certainly.

    New pedalboard day

    Friedman 1525 board with the buffer and power grid. Pics when I get everything wired and mounted in some fashion (and actually decide on where everything is going in the first place, lol), but I must say that this is a very smartly designed board. More soon :)

    LP into a Ceriatone HRM 100 probably. This is actually a tough thing to narrow down.

    How much do "big name" club touring musicians make?

    Devin Townsend makes about the same: http://www.metalinjection.net/shocking- ... -not-a-lot My understanding with hockey salaries is that quite a bit of what they make goes back to the players union as well. Understandable, given the injuries that can and do happen...

    How much do "big name" club touring musicians make?

    Not nearly enough, considering time, effort, and up front expense.

    Tips for Guthrie Govan tone

    Use less gain than you think, turn up the mids, and practice your face off :)

    Songwriters Chime In. What Do You Do When...

    Messing around with inversions or secondary guitar lines helps, writing a melody over top of it might help 'direct' things as well. Transposing it to piano or some other instrument might also make you think outside the box. I've found that in many cases, just recording it so you don't forget...

    I have a beat up old early 90's RG550, and will never part with it. It's like an old comfy pair of slippers...I see a pickup change in the future, but that's about it :)

    I can't stop buying amps

    I hear you. Not an amp, but I'm trying (somewhat unsuccessfully) to talk myself out of an LP :D

    Kings X...from 1992 anyone

    Ty is a criminally underrated guitarist. Love Kings X, saw them several times live.

    My tip for recording bass. You may already have a bass rig.

    my last album was a 5 string bass --> Tonehammer 500 --> Bergantino cab, mic'ed with an EV320. I was much happier with the results of this than what I got than the first go around, which was a combo of DI and re-amping (though I know others are very happy with just a DI bass tone)
