These fender CD 160 play great, use extra lite strings, set neck accordingly .Sounds good acoustically, and plugged in. 😎

I wouldn't mind hearing your swing at a heavy metal song John! Wouldn't necessarily need screaming... could be a fun project to try someday?
@The-Real-Blissful-Ignorance17 күн бұрын
Yes, there are plenty of Christian heavy metal songs that focus on great singing (with just a bit of screaming). Stryper's 'More Than a Man', Helloween's 'I Believe', and Manowar's 'Revelation (Death's Angel)' are a few of my favorites.

1:55 - Shadow SH 2:18 - The Mic I've had a classical guitar modded with a piezo and a preamp system, and I use it when I go to play outdoor. The sound it's not too bad, as here, but I prefer always mic if I have to make a recording. For the humming problem, it's true, there is more hiss and humm with a mic rather then with a piezo system, but the timbre quality it's really different, and with the mic we are more close to what we listen from the real intrument in a real ambient.

Hi John. I believe you can adjust the touch response of the keys on the Roland (in addition to just turning on/off). Fixed, light, medium and heavy. Maybe another setting would work better for you. That said, I think the Yamaha sounds much, much nicer in this video. Hope you are well.

I have tried all the settings but the problem is the rubber key contacts which are too stiff. It is a shame because the voicing is very good.
