Thanks, I’ve an advantage as I played a lot when I was younger, and far from perfect yet either (wasn’t that great back then…) but so many great learning resources now

Well got to the end of Grade 2 at last! Some stuff is revision but a fair chunk of new (at least with my faulty memory). Slash chords, 7 chords, percussive hit (in a way)…
I also got somewhat distracted learning a bunch of Metallica, more blues, some other bits (Dee) and the Bohemian rhapsody solo etc.
But ready for a little consolidation and probably dig into a few more songs and build out that repertoire.
Until then there is this.

Well still here, still learning! At the end of grade 3 / module 15 now, mostly going ok 
Kind of getting distracted a lot tho, tonight having a go at You shook me , by Zep, couldnt find a sounds I liked so I made my own, this is dirty af breaks up and screams, but does the job!
Oh likely picking up an amp at the weekend I can USB up to the PC and record so hopefully that solves that problem, I can record through reaper now but with so much lag I cant actually play, which isnt helpful!
Theres’s a lot of ‘pedal stuff’ around the amp but no matter where I click I can’t hear the sound 
That’s a lot of gain dialed in. Is that what ‘scooping mids’ is?
Look forward to hearing rather than imagining the dirt 
Congrats on the impending amp
I can probably do a recording of it, its a little scooped but its just a crazy fussy overdriven sound with a fair bit of short time echo.
A scooped sound is anything with the bass/treble pushed and the mid cut, I think this would count a little bit its not that hollow metal sound, its a a blues sound trashed to within an inch of its life.

Looks cool and I’m with Brian … I wanna hear it, Rob 
OK my first recording on here! Managed to beat REaper into submission on lag not too badly so this was a little easier. Mostly mucking around so dont shoot me haha

So yesterday I got stuck into learning all about the BB box, thats quite a rabbit hole!
Hope you took a torch
GPS dont work this deep in the blues!
tbh I was playing this some anyhow its quite a natural shape to throw in but I didnt know it was a thing!
Playing blues just keeps giving, so much scope, and the subtle timing and bending is such a challenge
