Only non trem bridge I have any experience is a Tune-O-Matic. Which is fine. But I really like the way through the body looks.

I have 3 Mayones, and a PRS SE Holcomb.. no trems on any of them.. They stay in tune always.. I also have a MusicMan JP-6.. the tremolo is kind of a pain in the dick..

I have two Carvins. Both with Wilkinsons and locking tuners. You can go crazy with the tremolo and they stay in tune. But dropping D fucks that whole thing up unless you re-balance the bridge and fuck that. Need screwdrivers and shit. I just wanna drop D and go. And be able to quickly tune to open G or something.

That's why I like a string-thru body.. Changing tunings is literally a couple seconds..

My PRS is Drop C.. 1st step down, w/low E another full step
MusicMan JP6 is Drop D (and it'll stay there forever because I hate adjusting trems too!)
Regius Core is standard
Duvell Qatsi is Open C add 9
My Duvell 7 is undecided as yet.

I usually tune to a standard tuning, never found a use for drop-D style tunings. Right now I'm in C# standard for our Bolt Thrower set this Friday. I'll try to get a video

So I always envision myself as a normal or even slow player then I see this video and wonder where the fuck I pulled it out of

I got a really good deal last year for a Vibro Champ XD at my favorite store: manchestermusicmill.com

Remind me again and I'll check they usually send out an e-mail as well, they usually have something they're turning out for a good deal on BF.

So I have a piece of music that I can't figure out. Part of the reason is that I'm not very good at transcription but the other problem is that there's a bit of dirt and a univibe running which makes it even more difficult. I've tried using transcription tools like Transcribe! and it doesn't really help me out once the solo fills start getting into the weeds with the effects on rhythm. It also happens to be a rather obscure cover song so there's basically nothing available whether sheet, tab or video.

Wut do? Are there any of those e-music teachers that do work like this or something similar?

Sounds like a typical D-C-G chord progression with some hammer-ons and pull-offs thrown in there. I don't have my guitar on me at the moment but that's what it sound like.
