Hi Renato! I’m so happy for you – with the new SG
– seems like a dream comes true on X-Mas. Next station, an amp I guess 
about 1 year ago
Thanks, Radu! It’s great to have it, love playing it.
Cheers!
Yeah, next up will be an amp, I don’t think I’ll need another guitar for a long while

Great job there Renato.I haven’t checked in for a week or so. Good timing, really flows nicely. You really went for it at the end!
Nice shiny guitar too

Thanks, Rob! Hope you had a good break, happy new year!
After hearing it recorded, I think I’m cutting the G chord a bit too short. I’ll have to try it again, and maybe I’ll give the solo a shot as well
Cheers!

Same to you mate
Yeah, its good to go back to stuff you’ve recorded a few days later to check it again. I’ve found if you work on something for a long time eventually you hear what you want to hear rather than how it really is. Listening later with fresh ears is sometimes useful.
about 1 year ago
Yup, I hear you. One of the reasons I like to record videos is that I focus and try my best for a while, and learn in the process. But I need to wrap it up at some point, and after it’s done I can come back and be critical and see where I can do better.

Great tone and playing. Seems like some string is slightly out of tune though.
Sound like you’re playing on brand new strings. That really brings out the Malcolm sound. Maybe that’s one of his secrets? new strings
about 1 year ago
Thanks, man!
Yeah, the strings are brand new 10s that came with the guitar. I tuned everything to 427Hz before I started playing, but if you hear something out of tune, it’s possible they’re getting a bit out of tune. I definitely think new strings make a difference in the tone and playability. My strings tend to get gunky within a month or two; when I change them, I always wish I would have changed them earlier
Cheers!

What say the SoloDallas members ? Exact or not?
about 1 year ago
Good find Frank.
Not sure how accurate it is, but first glance looks simelar to what I’ve found on the tracks that I’ve tried. Maybee some members could do a bit of testing
about 1 year ago
Frank, nice find indeed! I’ve looked for something like this before and did not find it, kudos to your search prowess!
The reason I went for 427Hz is that it’s halfway between Ab (415Hz) and A (440Hz); I didn’t spend more time tweaking, but 3Hz may make a subtle difference, next time I’ll try with 430Hz.
Cheers!

You seem in the know, Renato, what’s the ratio Hz to interval (ie how many Hz is a tone) I’m shitty with maths
about 1 year ago
Here’s a table that helps:
http://www.phy.mtu.edu/~suits/notefreqs.html
You have to work with multiplication/division, not addition/subtraction, to figure out the frequencies. Check out A4 – that’s your baseline 440Hz A frequency and easiest to see what’s going on. If you go one octave higher (A5), you double the frequency to 880Hz; one octave lower (A3), you half the frequency to 220Hz. For every note, the same will be true – double/half the frequency for a full octave up/down.
To go a semi-tone, you multiply (or divide) by a factor which is around 1.0595 (this is the “12th root” of 2 – in other words, if you multiply this number 12 times in a row gives you a full octave, a factor of 2)
To go a quarter-tone up/down, you use a factor which is the square root of the semi-tone factor – around 1.0293. 427Hz is 440Hz/1.0293 rounded down.
Cheers!

…………………………………………………………………Huh????!!!!
Now I remember why I didn’t do too well in maths
Thanks Rena food for thought
about 1 year ago
No problem
Bottom line, if you have a tuner that lets you adjust the base frequency for A4 (guitar rig 4 does have a dial for that), it will adjust automatically for the other strings so it’s pretty easy to tune properly, no need to compute all the frequencies.

Woah, great, Renato! Indeed, its not easy to play, tried it too. Great tone, and the new SG really looks awesome
about 1 year ago
Hah, thanks, Franz! Yes, it looks and feels great
about 1 year ago
your timing was near perfect on this one !
good job !

Thanks, Dires – appreciate the comment!

Just messing around with new guitar and camera. Simple ain’t easy – timing is tricky in this song, I’m still getting the hang of it. Cheers!
