Lets mount it!
A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words.
I started today by mounting my guitar to the wall. I played much more when I had my guitars sitting around on stands. Any excuse to use an impact drill, a stud finder and a mallet is fun too!
The photo is a signed by Wayne who is awesome. I will %100 Yoshimi! Although Wayne might be the opposite of Asian Father...
I'll start at the beginning. I wanted to hook up the PS3 to my computer monitor and use headphones. Sounds simple, right? I do some research... okay, need either USB headphones or bluetooth headphones. I like technology so I order a pair of Sony bluetooth headphones from Amazon. They were well reviewed.
I'm not going to get into the details, but only the microphone in the bluetooth headphones hook up the PS3... I can hear myself in them, but not the PS3. After much googling I find that this this is a feature.
Givl...
What you see above is a PS3 using a HDMI -> DVI cable to my monitor. With the RCA (the white/red/yellow) connectors going to my amp. Which in turn is going to my regular old gaming headphones. This took some time as I had to dig around for the cabling. Oddly enough the amp volume does nothing. I'd say this might be a first. PS3 -> amp -> headphones. I tried PS3 -> amp -> speakers -> headphones but the distortion was way too much.
Oh, I would not recommend this at home. It is *loud*. The volume control on my headphones laughed at me. I'm grateful you can lower the volume in Rock Band 3. Even at the lowest setting my ears were ringing after playing more of Yoshimi. I feel this just added to the experience!
Digging through wires took a long time. I played through Yoshimi 4 times on Hard, 84% accuracy was my highest. I'm getting faster at switching from barre to open chords and back again.
For fun I tried Walking on the Sun. Yeah... I need to practice that. I finished off another lesson as well. Wasn't too difficult but it was good practice by plucking strings that aren't adjacent to each other.
