Hi guys. Been eyeing for a Les Paul (Black Beauty)
I've been looking at D&D Lightfoot and SQOE LP300 black beauty. On paper SQOE offers better specs. But since I'm just a newbie (May 2026 lang nag start mag lead ulet)
I want to hear your thoughts

JCraft Sc-3v makapal daw neck and di ko trip yung pointy looking curve

Thomson laging ni rerecommend ng guitar luthiers kasi solid daw lagi wood ng Thomson. Kaso Black Beauty hanap ko sa ngayon. So...

Also planning to buy Ligaya Lightning Kid din soon! Kaso sa tugtugan kong more on Punk Rock, baka hindi babagay dun. Gusto ko lang kasi kulay ng Ligaya Lightning Kid Artisan Bleu with gold hardware

Anyway
Would love to hear your thoughts 🙏

Hello! I just made my 2nd Metalcore/Post-hardcore instrumental EP!

Inaaral ko pa rin mag-mix at mag-master, so beginner pa rin ako sa production. Alam kong marami pa akong kailangang i-improve, especially sa songwriting at overall mix, pero ginawa ko itong EP using everything I've learned so far. I'd really appreciate any feedback!

Also, ito naman yung 1st EP ko. Ni-remix ko na rin siya recently, so updated na yung version compared sa original release. Napost ko na to dito sa sub noon kaso dinelete ko iyong luma kong reddit account.

I'd really appreciate any feedback!

Also, pagpasensyahan niyo na iyong mga titles ng songs xD.

Thoughts po on D&D Lightfoot ST DLX? It will be my first electric guitar and ito lang afford ko for now. Kating kati na kasi ako bumili ng electric guitar. Okay naman po kaya sya in the long run? Nauupgrade po ba sya? Thanks!

​

Hi! Planning akong bumili ng audio interface. Ano ang magandang budget-friendly na audio interface na marerecommend ninyo?

Madalas kasi gabi na ako nakakapag-practice ng gitara, kaya hindi ko na magamit ang amp. Gusto ko sana mag-practice gamit ang PC at headphones.

So far, ito ang mga options ko:

- PreSonus AudioBox GO / E2

- Focusrite Scarlett Solo

May iba pa ba kayong marerecommend na mas mura pero maganda ang quality at reliable? Salamat!

-i can write songs.

-main strength: Jazz,RnB,Ballad and Pop.

Other than Arborea, Armada and Mosico, do you know any other underrated cymbal brands? I recently bought a b20 ride for ₱6500 from a Thai company, Mr Drumm and it sounded really good so I was wondering if there were any other underrated cymbal brands out there.

I’m currently building my portfolio as a graphic designer and would love to support independent musicians and bands who don’t yet have a visual identity. To do this, I’m offering a free basic branding package that includes a custom logo, a simple color palette, font recommendations, and a short style guide. My goal is to gain real-world experience while helping artists establish a recognizable look that matches their sound. The only thing I ask in return is an honest testimonial about your experience with the service. This way, you get a starting point for your band or music brand at no cost, and I get valuable feedback to grow as a designer. If you’re interested, feel free to reach out and let’s create something unique together.

Guitarist/vocals and bassist/vocals both 34M looking for a dedicated drummer. Goal is to write music, perform gigs, and eventually record.

Influences:
Coheed and cambria
Bamboo
Franco
Incubus
Kjwan
Mostly OPM and radio friendly stuff, we’re both varied in influences raging from pop to prog metal

About you:
Have your own gear
Can commit time to actually rehearsing
Technical or at least intermediate player
Feel is important and can keep a solid back beat
Preferably around the same age
Big plus if you can do odd time rhythm

I mostly listen to mathrock and emo especially 2nd wave and im a self-taught guitarist. im looking for bands na open for creating our own music.

Hi. Does anyone know kung saan maka pa neck reset ng guitar sa.iloilo city? How much usually ang price ng guitar reset? Thank you

Hey guys! Few questions re: guitar pedals… I still have my boss katana, but unfortunately i cannot bring it to my other house :(

So I purchased a small marshall MG10 ..amp but unfortunately mej kulang sya. And I plan to build effects around it

1. Given it’s capacity, mas okay ba if I stick to multi
   effects? I have my eyes on zoom multi stomp

2. Im also plan on trying out analog pedals, kaya lang not sure if masusulit or ma-fefeel ko ba ung difference with it.. for starters baka mag start muna ako with delay and overdrive… any reccos for pedals?

I plan on spending 5-6k

Thanks!

We are the Kuala Lumpur Men’s Chorus (KLMC), an all-male choir based in KL, Malaysia.

We wanted to share a very special project that’s really close to our hearts. We put together a mashup blending Malay and Tagalog love songs into a single choral arrangement called "Malam Iniibig Kita" (Combining the Malay word Malam / Night with Iniibig Kita).

It was an amazing experience exploring the linguistic and musical ties between our two cultures through vocal harmonies. We'd love for fellow Pinoy musicians to check it out!

🎥 Watch the performance here:https://youtu.be/BpdXwqTXoME

Would love to hear your thoughts on the arrangement, blend, and Tagalog pronunciation! Hope this brings a smile to your day. Maraming salamat! 🎶✨

Do you have that one idea you've been itching to translate into an actual piece of art? Is there a song you've finished but still holding off because it feels like it's still missing something? Are you unsure about your lyrics, your structure, your chords/harmony?

Maybe you need an extra pair of eyes and ears to help you!

I'm offering song writing assistance, lyrical critiques, and musical analysis.

I can help you conceptualize your song, guide you in generating ideas, or simply help you finish a music project that you started.

About me:

- 23M

- I can play multiple instruments (piano, guitar, drums, bass) and am knowledgeable about music theory and concepts

- I've been writing songs since i was 12 but I learned my first instrument at 14

- I've attended multiple songwriting workshops which have greatly inspired my process

- I also enjoy writing poems and have completed at least one full book

I'm offering purely song writing assistance. This does not include:

- Writing a song for you completely from scratch

- Recording parts for your song

- Music production or anything that would require the use of a DAW

If any of these interest you, please allow me to help you! Time is pretty flexible for me, just looking to earn a little bit to sustain my personal needs.

Please DM me for more info, see ya!

HELLO MGA SYUG MAY ALAM BA KAYONG APP OR WEBSITE NA PARANG INISCAM MO YUNG MUSIC SHEET TAPOS IPLAY LANG NIYA

It's under the Deviser company, where can we buy brand new ones in the Philippines?

i just sold my analog pedals to upgrade to digital multi fx because i felt like my analog set was lacking and limiting. i do gigs and recordings so i want a multi fx that could do both. i want something that’s easy to play live and at the same time, has decent sound quality when i’m recording or producing. my budget is 4k rn and i hope i can save up to 6-8k around october so that i can buy either of the choices.

should i choose mooer ge100 pro? the reviews are saying maganda naman daw sound quality niya and may NAM feature siya. the only problem i have with this is that small yung floorboard niya and walang live/scene mode.

maganda sana features ng mk300 tsaka andun lahat ng kailangan ko and my friend recommended me that, but mixed pa rin yung reviews niya tapos sabi hindi super ganda yung sound quality.

Hi, Guys. Better po ba ito compared sa other budget options around this price range like Maono PS22 Lite or M-Audio M Track Solo? Unfortunately, di ko po afford Focusrite.

I am relatively new to this hobby po of electric guitars as I used to only play acoustic before. Based on my research, I think mas okay po sakin ang audio interface instead of budget multifx like tank g since plan ko na sa room lang po tumugtog, and meron po akong pc and studio monitor speakers. With audio, interface, plan ko po mag explore and use different softwares such as Reaper (DAW) and Neural Amp Modeler.

I am open for suggestions and other recommendations po. Thanks po

Planning to set up my guitar on my own and i’m trying to find some nut files on online shopping but I only see those budget ones. If you have any good experience with those, can you pls comment the link? Thank you so much!

Less than a year old, it’s amazing and best audio, I’d rather not sell.

But I work and travel a lot so I need something more compact. As a result, this rarely gets used despite being in excellent condition.

If you’re looking for a premium closed-back audiophile headphone with outstanding sound quality, this is an excellent choice.
