🔥 Based on Mick's specifications, this superstrat has several unique features that you won't find on any other LTD guitar model.

LTD's Signature Series guitar line has gained a new addition: a signature model by Mick Thomson, member of the iconic metal band Slipknot. The LTD MT-I model sports an unconventional Obsidian Metallic finish and features a body reminiscent of the popular MH series with an arched top. Based on Mick's...

👀Songwriting retreat: deep woods, fresh air, and a head full of riffs. How could you say no to that?

The time has come for creative concentration in the middle of the deep woods. Just you, the all-encompassing nature and great musical ideas, which, as if by magic, emerge in your mind while looking at the greenery and which you then carbon copy on demo recordings recorded on your mobile phone or lap...

🌍 After 30 years of Morcheeba, Ross still dreams of monasteries and Skye just wants some people to vanish to Mars. Luckily, their music remains very much down to Earth.

Last year, fans were expecting them at Slovakia's Pohoda Festival, but an unexpected windstorm prevented their concert from taking place. However, as the saying goes, every cloud has a silver lining – this year, not only did Morcheeba return to Pohoda's lineup, but they also came equipped with a b...

😎 Today, you don't need a professional music studio, to create. You can start with what you have!

When a metal guitarist dares to go for calm, can something... calm come out of it? If someone who knows me had to describe me, they'd do so through heavy riffs, metal, and prog. But with the new song Serenity, I said to myself, "What if I didn't go to extremes this time, but rather went for atmosphe...

🤯 "You know, your career and experience are amazing, but you're just too good for the bands I know. They wouldn't know what to do with you. Or you with them, haha."

Sometime in the last year, while travelling to a gig, I had a very interesting conversation with an unnamed drummer. To give you a picture, the musician in question was supposed to play a concert with me that evening covering some rock anthems by Whitesnake, Deep Purple and Rainbow. Especially for t...

😅 There are all sorts of mental diagnoses – and sometimes musicianship seems to be one of them.

There are all sorts of mental diagnoses – and sometimes musicianship seems to be one of them. People who live a "regular life" with a "normal" nine-to-five job and weekends off, people who enjoy music as an atmospheric background and only sometimes go for a spin at a disco or attend a concert for ...

🎧 If you're on a Mac, try GarageBand; if you're on a PC, then maybe BandLab or Reaper.

🎧 If you're on a Mac, try GarageBand; if you're on a PC, then maybe BandLab or Reaper.

This article aims to inspire, and perhaps gently nudge, all of you who have been thinking for a while about dabbling in home recording. It might help you overcome that initial resistance. Maybe you never really needed something like this before or you’re not very comfortable with technology. You m...

😎 Some musicians can't accept that three basic harmonic functions can be enough to write a good song.

😎 Some musicians can't accept that three basic harmonic functions can be enough to write a good song.

Today, we will take a look at a few notorious phrases used with equal contempt by either "classical" or "punk" musicians—two irreconcilable music groups. The former have studied at the conservatory or at least a classical music school and can't go without notes, the latter either couldn't or would...

Is the perfect pitch a gift or a curse? 🧠 And what about the rhythmic hypersensitivity?

Is the perfect pitch a gift or a curse? 🧠 And what about the rhythmic hypersensitivity?

Let’s be honest: musical talent often borders on traits associated with the autism spectrum or ADHD – for instance, the ability to analyse and structure pieces down to the tiniest details, or the capacity to dive into practice with such hyperfocus and flow that you forget what time it is and don...

The law of the street is merciless. 😮‍💨

It is only partly true that buskers will do anything to please to tourists (and their wallets) by playing hit songs from the radio and that big city centers are ruled by the local mafia. There are still plenty of places you can play without being harassed by the local authorities, there are even fes...

Playing bass is easier than playing guitar, right? 🤡

Playing bass is easier than playing guitar, right? 🤡

Playing bass is easier than playing guitar, drummers are animals, amplifiers and guitars from the golden sixties are the best, and music is nothing but an expensive hobby? Let's have a closer look at these four myths about music—and why they're false. 1. Bass is easier to learn than guitar Myth: F...

🎸 If you’re tempted to record acoustic covers, it’s worth investing time in fine-tuning a visually appealing environment, proper mic and lighting setup.

From time to time, I meet someone who claims, in a more or less dismissive tone, that there’s nothing new to invent in music anymore and all songs are just repetitions of the same thing. While I don’t fully agree with that statement, indeed, not every musician always has to write original songs....
