      i just bought a mid 80’s DC 150 from a dealer in boston.black with the kahler tremelo. OMG! i don’t know what anyone else would think but it is absolutely perfect for me! i also play a 1963 gibson melody maker that is just TOO sweet. til i got the carvin i thought it was the best guitar i ever owned. i bought the carvin to take the playing load off the MM. i can see now that is not going to be a problem as i love this guitar for speedy stuff..the bright pick-ups do sound better than the gibson for distorted playing.PLUS a really nice ring on the super clead settings of my MESA BOOGIE NOMAD 45(with the factory closed back extension cabinet for a 2×12 sound).the carvin will never replace the gibson for playing blues but it does what it does better than anything else i have laid my hands on in 32 years of playing…thanks for the opportunity to have my say…peace <*}}}}>{……

      : any feedback on this pedal would be great. thinking about buying it and want to know the pros and cons.

      I’ve owned a vtwin for a while and I Love it -but it is very dependent on what it’s plugged into.It sounds fabulous on clean fendery type amps but I don’t like it at all on the marshall type amps I’ve used it with.So in closing,Try it with your amp you might love it.

      : I own a cutaway acoustic guitar made by a company called McPherson. It has two sound holes on either side (not "f holes" but placed in a similar position). It also has a sound hole at the bottom. It’s not an archtop jazz guitar but an acoustic flat top. I bought it from a friend a few years ago and I haven’t seen another one like it. Has anyone heard of these guitars?
      I picked one up in Minneapolis MN a few years ago. I called the factory and asked a few questions about it. Mine is not a cutaway it is one of 1500 guitars made in Japan in 1980. Look in an acoustic guitar mag. and get the phone number there.

      : : My name is Chris and I am thinking of buying an electronic
      : : guitar.
      : : I have three questions:

      : : 1. What electric guitar would be ideal for beginners?

      : : 2. How much would it cost?

      : : 3. I went in to my local music store and was told a "Fender" guitar at
      : : a cost of £379 was the best guitar for beginners.
      : : Is this the best guitar for beginners?
      : : Is the price (£379) right for a "Fender guitar"?
      : : If not how much should 1 be and where can I get a cheaper 1 in the
      : : North West area?

      : :
      : : CHEERS FOR YOUR HELP!

      : Hello

      : All I can say is stay away from Fender SQUIRES, cuz they’re absolutely the worst guitars on this planet, and don’t have anything to do with a real Fender Guitar.
      : squires look ncute, but THEY SOUND AWFUL, even if you manage to tune them. And even if you do, and it starts to sound more or less OK, it never intonates well.
      : A throwaway guitar, that’s it. I’d advise you to look for a used Mexican Fender – all in all, try to find something used, but of a better quality – or a Japanese one.
      : Yamaha’s Pacificas are jolly good too. I know, that you just begind, and don’t feel like giving away a grand for an axe and then playing drums for the rest of yer life, but the better guitar you have the more attached you get to it.
      : But – look for used ones, and happy hunting!

      : Feel free to ask, anyway.

      : Hi fellow guitar players,
      : I’m considering a Washburn accoustic D-55 Cherokee guitar. It’s pretty much new. It’s been at a local dealer’s store for a year or so now, and has a few small scratches and dings from being played there. Anyway, they are asking a cool ,000.00 for it (including hardcase). It seems like a good deal to me, but I thought I’d see if anyone here can give me advice on this guitar. Thanks!

      It’s made in the USA and is a good quality guitar. ,000 is a good price. Most folks want from ,000 to ,500. They are out of production and would make a nice collectible. The feather inlays on the fret board are impressive, as is bridge. This is a very loud guitar, especially the low E. Grab it before someone else does.

      he he controversial stuff methinks. yep youve had some good advice from some on playing like keith. the open tunings is the best as he plays most of his great stuff in open tuning, a trick i think keith got from mick taylor. which leads to an interesting point, namely that on most stones stuff you arent hearing just one guitarist. you are hearing two be it jones, taylor or wood. i cant help wondering how most of their best stuff was when mick taylor was in the band which is an interesting variation on the old debate that keith did his best stuff when he was on smack. its a lot to do with ya sound as well. grab a kicking amp and guitar. no point trying to emulate a sound (which is half the battle when trying to pin down a style of playing)when ya equipment is crap. back when they made stuff like brown sugar they didnt have multi effects and such so go for a simple basic set up. the most important piece of equipment is ya amp. dont matter what anyone tells ya your amp is responsible for %80 of ya sound.a great les paul or classic strat will sound shit through a crap amp, but a cheapish guitar will sound ok through a great amp. keiths playing tho is brilliant in its simplicity. get all these virtuosos who slag him off and say he sucks, they just telling you more about themselves than anything else, yep they can play million notes a second or john williams best but music is about feeling and emotion and melody. and hell keith just looked great with those teles slung around his neck.
      its down to sound, open tuning and practice. stick on the stones full volume and just jam along with em. you’ll get there.

      I just bought a "choclate" 76 tele, deluxe with the humbuckers…I wouldn’t have know what color to call it until i saw these posts of you guys. Anyways, i teach at a musick store, and somebody sold it to me for 50 dollars, which must be a screaming deal. I told him to keep it if he could afford to, but he just wanted the money. I like it alot, but i think the tone pots need to be replaced. I ‘m more a jazz guy, but i tell yah, it sounds pretty damn good. I’ll have to put some heavier strings on it and see whats up!

      : Well I don’t have a picture, but I’ve got one myself (black 1979) and it’s a great guitar, I’ve got the humbuckers split with a switch and I paid a lot more for it then you did (I’m dutch but in dollars it’s something like 00,- and it’s still worth it to me.

      : I bought a 1975 Fender Telecaster Deluxe sight unseen over the phone from a friend of a friend who lives several states away. It is a Chocolate Burst with two humbuckers pickups. I got the guitar for 25.00 with a hardshell case. I thought this was a good deal, so I took it. the guitar is in aprox. 80% condition. Does anyone have a photo of this telecaster? The guitar wont be here for another week or so and I’m dieing to see it.

      You can’t sound like Fuel, STP, and Incubus. Incubus is rap-metal with hip hop beats courtesy of their DJ, and Fuel is alternative post-grunge while STP is grunge/hard rock. Why don’t you just try to add Primus and Limp Bizkit to your fucked up collaboration?

      : : I can’t find a Soldano amp anywhere in Minnesota. When I was in Europe I bought a guitar magazine that compared a Mesa Dual Rectifier to a Soldano SLO 100 on a CD. The Soldano wiped the floor with the Mesa on the CD but I can’t find one to try for myself. If anyone knowes where I can try one in Minnesota, let me know. Or if anyone has opinions on other soldano amps like the Hot Rod or something I would love the input. Thanks

      : Well they make them in very small numbers, and they are more expensive than Mesas. Some heads are in the ,000 range, and i have no idea where to find one, because no chain store carries them. Look in smaller boutique stores, which sells real high end gear

      I’m an online only Soldano dealer located in GA. (http://www.petesamps.com) Visit my site and link to the Soldano site and check the dealer list. I became a dealer after buying one from Musician’s Friend. I also own a Mesa and a Rivera. There is no comparison to a Soldano. It’s like what you’ve been trying to hear. Simply amazing! Soldano’s policy for online stores is not to open the amps. Good luck finding one to plug into. The Lucky 13 is reviewed in this month’s Guitar Player Magazine. Let me know if I can help anymore.

      I too have a McPherson guitar. It is a 12 string with a sunburst finish and the trademark 3 holes. Mine was make in Japan in the early ’80s. It has production #24 on it. My dad bought it in 1983 possibly. I have only seen 3 other McPhersons in my life.

      you could do it the way they used to in the days before pedals
      and use 2 tape recordings of the same guitar peice and run them similtaniously one slightly before the other
      ichicoo park was recorded that way
      it was done by a recording engineer with 2 reel to reel tape recorders and realy long arms
      alt buy a boss pedal…

      : oh yeah .. i love boss pedal

      I have a collection of Carvin Koa wood models and curly / birdseye maple models built between 1982 and 1986 . DC-120 , Dc200,DC 160 , and Koa doublenecks all of which are highly flamed and have necks of such quality that make my gibsons seem like clumsy toys. All of these guitars arrived to my door via ups in the 80’s without a nick. True the mail order seems bad but all manufacturers ship guitars to every retail store so its not really different. and if you don’t like it you can get an immediate refund. Try that at most retail music stores _ (except Mars and the other big guys)and you will be in for a big battle to the end to get a refund. so take my advice and give it a try – nothing to lose

      Vintage guitar price guide has them listed at 00.00, mint condition. The Blue Book has them at roughly the same. In my opinion there worth twice that. Considering todays prices and craftsmanship, they will blow away any new 00.00 SG. They were only made for a couple of years,(1980-1982). Great hard rock/heavy metal guitar.

      : I am trying to determine the value of my SG 1982 Firebrand for resale. Can anyone point me in a good direction?
      : Thanks.

      Dude, I’ve owned a Les Paul Firebrand since 1985, and I LOVE IT! It’s an ’81 model actually, and I bought it used for 00. I’ve seen a few other firebrands in local stores selling for about 50 lately, and they’re all the woodgrain finish ones. Mine was actually repainted and refinished by the original owner to black with a gold burst on the body, so it’s pretty unique, and it’s going to the grave with me, even though I now play a real Les Paul now most of the time. Anyway, I think I’d suggest selling it for around 50 or so, depending of course on its condition. When I got mine it was in MINT condition, excepting the new finish of course, with a good hardshell case.

      : Learn the minor pentatonic scales. There are 5 patterns in every key. You should be able to get the scale patterns on this site somewhere. It is a good starting point.

      Start with the main melody of the song, and add in notes, and kind of what comes to you, along the scale patterns. This will make your solos melodic and consistent with the song.

      FROZEN GHOST: Dream Come True

      Love of my life
      I don’t have a lot to give you
      What’s in my heart
      Is all that I can really give you
      Love…undying love is all I have
      A handful of words
      That might make you laugh
      And all the strength you need
      To make it through all your troubled times
      I give all of myself to you, only you
      My dream come true
      Love of my life
      You are all I ever wanted
      To be with you is all I ever really wanted
      You…you’ve made my life a fairy tale
      You’ve added love to a life that was so stale
      And know that I’ll be here
      Always for you, when you need a friend
      I give all of myself to you, only you
      My dream come true

      I’ve been waiting my whole life for you
      Now my waiting is through
      All the nights I’ve spend dreaming I knew
      That my dream would come true

      So many nights
      I laid awake dreaming I knew
      One day I’d be with you
      Now all my nights of dreaming are through
      ‘Cause my dream has come true

      Dream come true

      ENJOY!!

      : I’m posting this message to see what your opinions are on Carvins guitar shop. This is the mail order company out of San Diego.
      : Heres my own story. I recently ordered my third Carvin guitar earlier this year. Shortly after placing my order I found a used Gibson Les Paul Custom Black with body binding and gold hardware at guitar showcase in San Jose. This guitar was gorgeous. I fell in love and bought it. This guitar was used and 600.00 but it was in excellent condion.
      : Now I was in a jam because I didnt have enough money for both guitars but I could afford the cash to have them both temporarily at least long enough to test them out against each other.
      : I had the Gibson Les Paul set up by a reputable shop and waited for the Carvin to arrive.
      : My test findings were unsettling. The Guitar Gods at Gibson came up short on my list in all catagories. Now remember this was a guitar I played and fell in love with and payed hard cash for but when my Carvin showed up it just kicked its ass.
      : The Carvin Giant Slayer was better at
      : 1.String action
      : 2.neck feel
      : 3.pickup tone
      : 4.sustain
      : 5.Staying in tune ( This is very important)
      : 6.Attention to detail on the guitar finish
      : The Carvin sounded way better under heavy distortion
      : and also on clean settings. The amps at my disposal to do this test were a Mesa/Boogie Tremloverb, Mesa DC-5
      : a VOX,a Matchless, & a Fender Deville. My personal rigs were the Boogies. We conducted this test in a recording studio while recording our new album. I played and recorded on both guitars and a week later the Gibson was on add in the paper. Ouch thats gotta hurt!
      : Now I’m not saying I would’nt Play a Gibson again, I am an equal oportunity guitarist but the over priced sleeping giants are nothing more than NIKE brand names marketed by symbolism.Thats O.K. but I just wanted you to know that you can get alot more bang for your buck if your willing to bust away from the pack.
      : you must understand I’ve waited a long time to conduct this test. I am a lefty guitar player and finding lefties is allways a problem but untill now I couldnt afford the extra dough to have two guitars like this at once.
      : The New Carvin I ordered was not cheap either but it was 00.00 less than the used Gibson.
      : I ordered the Carvin 25th aniversary with a flamed KOA top. KOA five piece laminated neck(Maple Stripes) through body active/passive electronics and a fixed bridge. Abalone Block Inlays Ebony finger board.
      : The Works
      : You can also order a great guitar thats about 00.00
      : bucks with the same electronics and craftsman ship minus the expensive wood I ordered for mine. All their guitars are made by the same CNC computer controlled routing machines and come with a 10 day money back garantee.

        I have 2 Carvin guitars, a DC 127 with a tung-oiled mahogny body with a fixed bridge and an Ultra V with a Floyd Rose whammy. I payed 800$ for the DC. In Norway that is not much for an electric guitar. Some of the cheapest Ibanez RG´s cost the same!!! If you compared a Carvin DC 127 and an Ibanez RG, you would probably call the police. Especially the craftmanship blows the competition away. I just love the way my guitars play. The feel is so comfortable and steady. Carvin guitars are so short on misstakes! Good luck with your guitars and your playing!!! Carvin ROCKS!!!!

      : : any feedback on this pedal would be great. thinking about buying it and want to know the pros and cons.

      : I have one and I love it. It gets pretty hairy, I think it has more of a Marshall-ish sound than a Boogie. I think one of the draw backs is that you can’t get the levels even for both channels. I use it for a high gain sound and I use a Fulldrive 2(which I also love) for more of a medium gain. I guess you might want to see if it matches up well with your amp.

      I bought one by mail. The bloke at the shop said he would take it back if I didn’t like it – but NOBODY doesn’t like these.
      I took it out of the box, plugged in my headphones and was very impressed – and that was the clean sound !
      I basically use it for the high gain solos (most of them). I run it into a Fender twin which I set up both channels clean with channel one running a higher level.
      I bypass the vtwin for normal rhythm.
      I use the blues setting for a cruchy rhythm.
      High gain for most solos
      Bypass and channel 1 on the twin for clean solos.
      This takes care of all I need at the moment.

        You can definitely get the channels to match up. There is a "clean" gain control on the bottom side so you can have the master gain all the way up for mean rip-you-to-shreds guitar tones and still switch over to crystal clean tones. It’s one awesome pedal.

      : : i agree about the state of most the name brands…gibson is waayyyy over priced. I playes a carvin and thought it was pretty good. have had bad luck with their mixers….got one..it buzzed…a vu meter fell out…crosstalk between channels…i sent it back….same thing with their amps…quality control doesnt seem to be their thing.

      : : i dont why their guitars havent caught on..10 day return…why dont more people play them? re sale is the pits on them…and maybe its becasue not many big guitar gods plays one…i think the whole mail order thing hurts them…no impulse buying from music stores.
      : : maybe the waiting period on some…but its not really that long compared to other custom builders.

      : : i have almost bought one a few times…but i think being unsure about them stopped me. if they had been in a store maybe i would have.

      : : have you heard of Suhr guitars? i got one of those recently…sold a les paul to get it by the way!

      : Dear Steve;

      : The truth is I own, or have owned guitars by Gibson, PRS, Fender, Ibanez, and Peavy. I am currently playing a Carvin. The workmanship – finish is as good as I have seen. The neck is thin and fast. They have their own sound. Somewhere between Gibson and Fender, pretty close to the Ibanez sound. Carvins do have imperfections like everything else.

      : I am playing a Carvin because I like my strings on the deck. At the 24th fret I can barely slip a .028 feeler guage under the strings. I keep the neck nearly straight. String height at the nut is adjusted to be no more than .002 above the first fret. This is the only guitar I have that will play this close to the fret-board. The problem with playing this close is that when the neck releif changes with the moisture in the air I have to adjust the neck releif, or be
      : unsatisfied with the action. All necks made of wood move. If you don’t play this low, you probably don’t notice it. I don’t adjust the neck everyday, but I keep an adjustment key with the guitar, and I adjust any time it needs it.

      : I have tried to buy two other guitars from Carvin, but, I sent them back. No two guitars are the same, and I want another one that will play as well as the one I already have.

      : If you can take the need to keep the neck adjusted, I think you will find that the Carvin is the best buy dollar for dollar.

      : Good luck

      : i agree about the state of most the name brands…gibson is waayyyy over priced. I playes a carvin and thought it was pretty good. have had bad luck with their mixers….got one..it buzzed…a vu meter fell out…crosstalk between channels…i sent it back….same thing with their amps…quality control doesnt seem to be their thing.

      : i dont why their guitars havent caught on..10 day return…why dont more people play them? re sale is the pits on them…and maybe its becasue not many big guitar gods plays one…i think the whole mail order thing hurts them…no impulse buying from music stores.
      : maybe the waiting period on some…but its not really that long compared to other custom builders.

      : i have almost bought one a few times…but i think being unsure about them stopped me. if they had been in a store maybe i would have.

      : have you heard of Suhr guitars? i got one of those recently…sold a les paul to get it by the way!

      Dear Steve;

      The truth is I own, or have owned guitars by Gibson, PRS, Fender, Ibanez, and Peavy. I am currently playing a Carvin. The workmanship – finish is as good as I have seen. The neck is thin and fast. They have their own sound. Somewhere between Gibson and Fender, pretty close to the Ibanez sound. Carvins do have imperfections like everything else.

      I am playing a Carvin because I like my strings on the deck. At the 24th fret I can barely slip a .024 feeler guage under the strings. I keep the neck nearly straight. String height at the nut is adjusted to be no more than .002 above the first fret. This is the only guitar I have that will play this close to the fret-board. The problem with playing this close is that when the neck releif changes with the moisture in the air I have to adjust the neck releif, or be
      unsatisfied with the action. All necks made of wood move. If you don’t play this low, you probably don’t notice it. I don’t adjust the neck everyday, but I keep an adjustment key with the guitar, and I adjust any time it needs it.

      I have tried to buy two other guitars from Carvin, but, I sent them back. No two guitars are the same, and I want another one that will play as well as the one I already have.

      I guess you’ve got the answer to your question by now, but I thought I’d throw my opinion in anyway. I bought a Rogue RX200 a few months ago, and I’ve been very impressed with it. It only cost me about 00.00, and it’s fully loaded. It has three pickups (humbucker-single-humbucker), Floyd Rose locking tremolo, 24-fret neck with shark-fin inlay, and so on. It sounds as good as it looks, too. I’d say Rogue is a good choice for a good musician on a budget, like myself.
      Sincerely,
      Eric

      : woul it not be nice to have true metal back in our lives again why does all the new shit suck so bad? i think that i know—– no talent

      I don’t think that it’s that metal is gone. I think it’s just hiding for a while. Pretty soon people will get tired of rap and "rap-metal" (which is in my opinion rap only with a really detuned 7 string guitar) and metal will come back bigger and stronger than ever.

      : Anybody know if Rogue guitars are any good?
      : I’ve been thinking of buying the Rogue RK550,
      : mainly ‘cos its real cheap and has 3 mini-humbuckers and 24 frets. Now the Rogues evidently are made in the same place as Squires, and i’m not too mad about them either. Also i’ve been considering some cheap Jackson models, most of them have only 2 humbuckers tho, and i doubt they are any good for lead work… any advice, comments etc?
      When I was going to buy my first guitar I considered buying a Rogue, then I went to the store and played one. I ended up buying a Jackson and I love it. Jacksons are good if you want to play metal. I’ve heard other people refer to Jacksons as "aggressive guitars." I have no idea what this means but I would assume that it has something to do with being a good heavy metal guitar. If you’re going to buy a Jackson, make sure you don’t get Jackson pickups. That’s the only think I hate about my guitar. They kick ass for when I’m playing with distortion, but they’re too overdriven to play clean. Try to get Seymour Duncans as Jackson likes to put these on the guitars they don’t use their own pickups on. Hope this helps.

      : i’m gonna buy one soon and i don’t know where to get good prices and what i should pay for it

      List price on an M-300 is 99, so definitely don’t pay more than that. Also find a place where you can pay less than that. If there’s a Mars music store near where you live, for the whole month (October) their having a 50% off sale on all ESP guitars. I just bought an M-200 last week for 50. Hope this helps.

      : Hmm.I’ll try to explain it.With your right hand placed
      : near the middle of the rythym pickup you should try to
      : lightly brush the string with your thumb while hitting the string this will produce a harmonic/octave of the note you’re actually playing.Try not to dampen the string though.On a 22 fret guitar try to imagine where the 24th fret would be,there’s your harmonic!
      : Good Luck

      I purchased a Rogue AE-200 which is an acoustic cutaway with a built-in pickup and EQ. You get a lotta bang for the buck with this axe. It has a solid spruce top, mahogany sides and back, abalone rosette around the soundhole, abalone bindings, diamond-shaped inlays on the fretboard and the workmanship is comparable to or better than a fender or yamaha in the same price range. Tone is better than adequate. I am considering selling it though because I have acquired a few more axes since then and I am going to have to start parting with some of them. It is in new condition with a hardshell case. Let me know if you are interested.

      The Tiraxis is a great unit with the simul 2:90. very versatile, I own two boogie racks, a 12 and 20 space. Get the rear rails, and two ballistic puches and locking casters with it.

      I would recommend the following processors:
      Rocktron Intellefex, T.C. Elecronics G-force, Eventide GTR 4000, Tuner Korg DTR-1 tuner (its the best), Rocktron Hush unit (althought you probably will not need it unless your are going into the studio), I would buy a Boss NS-2 noise suppressor for simple gating while playing live.

      I would also invest int eh Meas boogie Abacus foot controller or the custom audio electronics Rs-10 Midi controller.

      I think you have a great foundation to an awesome rack system. Let me know how you make out.
      Wireless: X-wire system or Sony UHF system

        : : HEY I JUST WANTED TO POST THIS LETTER UP FOR ANYONE WHO HAS PUT TOGETHER A MESA TRIAXIS RACK RIG. I use a t.c. electronic G-Major with my TriAxis. It’s dirt cheap and sounds great. I won’t say it’s better than other things because there ARE better units, but not for the money. It also has a great built-in tuner and is completely midi controllable. So, unless you need ULTRA studio-high-end (G-Force and Eventide combine for about $4500… sheesh) this will give you all the effects you really need AND a tuner in one rack space. Check it out… I’m VERY happy with mine. I run the TriAxis and the G-Major with a DMC Ground Control (I love how easy it is to use!). Super simple, small and versatile…. great gigging rig.

      I assume you have sought medical attention. I haven’t had disclocations, however, I punctured the tendon in my left pinky about 20 yrs. ago. I had to make some adjustments, but I don’t really think about it now.

      About 1 1/2 years ago I fractured the next-to-last finger on my left hand. It still does not bend all the way, but I recovered the strength through physical therapy. Again, I made some adjustments, and my playing is no better or worse than it was. If anything, it may be a little better, because I have to concentrate more on how I use the pinky and the finger.

      Assuming you have had the medical attention, see if you can get physical therapy. Also, music stores sell finger exercisers in various degrees of resistance. Try those (but not before consulting an MD)

        My first experience with Carvin was in 1990. The guitar I bought then is still my favorite of my arsenal of 15. This transaction went smoothly so there was no need to "follow up" or otherwise correspond with them after the purchase. I bought parts in 1995 and build a 5-string bass; again, no problems. I made an attempt to buy another one last year – I will never buy another thing from them – ever. If you want a Carvin, get one from eBay – the online auction "risks" far out-weigh the Carvin Customer Service apathy. Their quality control is non-existant and they frankly don’t give a crap. Yes, the playability is excellent but god help you if you have any problems. http://www.ameritech.net/users/scottbeavers/index.htm click the ‘My Guitarz’ link. Then click ‘My guitar – a bargain at twice the price’ for the whole story.

          over the past 25 years, i’ve owned a 81 Gibson Les Paul Standard,a 79 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe, a 62 Fender Jaguar, a 67 Fender Tele, a 88 Fender Strat (jap, but real nice w/kahler trem), a 82 Heritage H-150CM (a REAL les paul), and a few off brand, but decent, guitars and basses. After drooling over Carvin catalogs for 20 years but never ordering from them, i chanced upon a used mid 80’s Carvin DC-150 in a local shop under consignment a few years back. After begging the owner to hold it for a week, i took my new toy home, tore it down, set it up, and jammed. it is an all black w/black chrome model. kahler locking trem, with the signature Carvin stereo electronics and M-22 pickups and 4 vol/tone knobs found in later models. the quality of the instrument is superb for a "standard issue" guitar, the balance excellent, action fast and low. all in all, a great looking, sounding and playing axe. and for the price ($300US w/case of course) unbeatable by anything i could ever get now-a-days. BUT…there’s always a "but"… the thing is almost TOO perfect. after playing with different guitars over the years, i’ve come to know and expect different characteristics and "personalities" to show up. things like unique harmonics, tones in general that distinquish that particular guitar from any other, at least to me. my Carvin doesn’t really have any of these traits. it sounds great, don’t get me wrong. but there is no "soul" there. kinda’ generic, if you know what i mean. like a lot of Les Pauls, i guess, only an occasional "Pearly Gates" comes on the scene. then again, PRS doesn’t exactly have a signature sound, either. all in all, fantastic guitar for the price, a great road/working axe, but i keep it out of the studio.

        To any artist or persons in San Diego who is serious about making music, and looking to join a band or looking too start one please contact me right away. My name is Adam Gomez and I am 18 years of age and I am a very talented singer/songwriter looking to start the next band that will create a new genre. I have been singing for 8 years now and my objective is to put a real band together including me as the lead vocalist. As for my equipment I have a shure Beta 58 A microphone, and a PA620 mixer 2 822 12" 300w speakers 2 PH50 16GA spk cables. If you don’t understand what I am talking about don’t worry because I don’t either. For those of you that do I know it doesn’t seem like much but it’s some thing to work with. I also have a c800 pa system on the side if I need to get a hold of it. I am looking for people in San Diego that are between the age of 18 and 24. But if you are older I don’t know why in the hell you would want to try and join my band. Just joking. As long as you can play and more important we see eye to eye on music and almost every thing about music we just might be in business. But it is a must that the band has chemistry on all levels, because with out chemistry I might as well stop writing and give up. But I can’t because I am too involved with music to just stop and let all these little fake punk bands and other fake wannabe genres mess up the music industry. I will not just stand by wile today’s youth turns music in to media market frenzy for all the kiddy’s in high school and for any one else that likes catchy tuns. I am sorry I just can’t take it any more because every time I turn on the radio that’s all I hear. Any way time to get back on the real subject at hand here. Basically I am starting a band so if you are interested you can contact me at [email protected] or on my cell phone at 1(619) 818-9996. PS. Thank you for your time Adam Gomez.

      Yes,Definatley,affirmitive,fuckin’A,Hell yeah!! One cold, snowy evening,I wandered into one of my favorite music stores.This was 1993.One of the guys who knew me
      sold me a CARVIN D135(?)for 00.Took it home played then forgot about it.3 years later,I gave my Les Paual
      a rest and pulled out this old Carvin.Small, sleek ebony fret-board.Fast action,24 frets,coil splitting,
      in-phase,out-phase.M-22 pick-ups and Kahler tremelo.
      As I played it I said…"OH SHIT"!! Since then my Les Paul has been retired,I even found another one,all wood

      i agree about the state of most the name brands…gibson is waayyyy over priced. I playes a carvin and thought it was pretty good. have had bad luck with their mixers….got one..it buzzed…a vu meter fell out…crosstalk between channels…i sent it back….same thing with their amps…quality control doesnt seem to be their thing.

      i dont why their guitars havent caught on..10 day return…why dont more people play them? re sale is the pits on them…and maybe its becasue not many big guitar gods plays one…i think the whole mail order thing hurts them…no impulse buying from music stores.
      maybe the waiting period on some…but its not really that long compared to other custom builders.

      i have almost bought one a few times…but i think being unsure about them stopped me. if they had been in a store maybe i would have.

      have you heard of Suhr guitars? i got one of those recently…sold a les paul to get it by the way!

      I’m posting this message to see what your opinions are on Carvins guitar shop. This is the mail order company out of San Diego.
      Heres my own story. I recently ordered my third Carvin guitar earlier this year. Shortly after placing my order I found a used Gibson Les Paul Custom Black with body binding and gold hardware at guitar showcase in San Jose. This guitar was gorgeous. I fell in love and bought it. This guitar was used and 600.00 but it was in excellent condion.
      Now I was in a jam because I didnt have enough money for both guitars but I could afford the cash to have them both temporarily at least long enough to test them out against each other.
      I had the Gibson Les Paul set up by a reputable shop and waited for the Carvin to arrive.
      My test findings were unsettling. The Guitar Gods at Gibson came up short on my list in all catagories. Now remember this was a guitar I played and fell in love with and payed hard cash for but when my Carvin showed up it just kicked its ass.
      The Carvin Giant Slayer was better at
      1.String action
      2.neck feel
      3.pickup tone
      4.sustain
      5.Staying in tune ( This is very important)
      6.Attention to detail on the guitar finish
      The Carvin sounded way better under heavy distortion
      and also on clean settings. The amps at my disposal to do this test were a Mesa/Boogie Tremloverb, Mesa DC-5
      a VOX,a Matchless, & a Fender Deville. My personal rigs were the Boogies. We conducted this test in a recording studio while recording our new album. I played and recorded on both guitars and a week later the Gibson was on add in the paper. Ouch thats gotta hurt!
      Now I’m not saying I would’nt Play a Gibson again, I am an equal oportunity guitarist but the over priced sleeping giants are nothing more than NIKE brand names marketed by symbolism.Thats O.K. but I just wanted you to know that you can get alot more bang for your buck if your willing to bust away from the pack.
      you must understand I’ve waited a long time to conduct this test. I am a lefty guitar player and finding lefties is allways a problem but untill now I couldnt afford the extra dough to have two guitars like this at once.
      The New Carvin I ordered was not cheap either but it was 00.00 less than the used Gibson.
      I ordered the Carvin 25th aniversary with a flamed KOA top. KOA five piece laminated neck(Maple Stripes) through body active/passive electronics and a fixed bridge. Abalone Block Inlays Ebony finger board.
      The Works
      You can also order a great guitar thats about 00.00
      bucks with the same electronics and craftsman ship minus the expensive wood I ordered for mine. All their guitars are made by the same CNC computer controlled routing machines and come with a 10 day money back garantee.

      If you have a story about Carvin Pro/Con I would like to hear it.

        I went to a local music store to try out a line6 pod. I decided to try out a Les Paul vintage re-issue (not exactly sure what model) – it was going for about $2500. It was a fine guitar – I’ve always liked Pauls. When I got home, I broke out my Carvin DC-747 (7 string). It’s a tung-oiled koa neck & body. I was pleasantly suprised to find out it blew the Paul away in terms of looks, sound and playability. It wasn’t a side-by-side comparison, but the memory of the Pauls performance was fresh in my mind, and there was really no comparison. The kicker is this Carvin is basically my dream guitar, with every option I want on it, and it came in under $1000 shipped! Carvin guitars rule! BTW, I agree about resale value. I have to wonder why Steve Vai doesn’t have his own signature model – he has an amp (Legacy) made by Carvin. I’ll bet he is still under contractual obligation to Ibanez. My guess is he would do it if he could. That would sure be a shot in the arm for Carvin!

        I bought a Carvin 212 Bel-Air 50 watt tube amp. Spent a year serching for that sweetness you know. Mathcless, Mesa Boogie, vox, etc… The cheapest 212 combo I could find was $1200. They all sounded great but for $500 I can’t tell the difference. Also bought a package deal P.A. 12 channel 750 watt (Actually 350 per side)mixer in a box with 2 15" 2-way horn loaded mains, 2 mics, 2 100′ speaker cables, and 2 mic cables. Total cost delivered was around $1300. I looked everywhere I could think of. I couldnt get a similar P.A. and 2 speakers for less than $2000. All I have to say is I’m sold. I have been considering buying the ae185 accoustic electric for about a year now and I think you just helped me make my decision. you can’t go wrong with Carvin!

        I played and have gibsons, fenders and such. And carvin is one that is always on my guitar stand, instead of the case instead of the others. I also have the bass guitar, however my good friend is using it, not only because he is much more into bass than I am, because he says it blows his Fender bass away.

      Date: Sun, Aug 20, 2000, 7:20pm To: [email protected] Subject: need
      extra cash .a be honest wit dis..just .00
      GIVE THIS A TRY! YOU’LL BE GLAD YOU DID!! A FABULOU$ WAY TO TURN
      DOLLAR$ INTO THOU$ I found this on a bulletin board and decided
      to try it. A little while back, I was browsing through newsgroups and
      came across an article similar to this that said you could make
      thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of
      .00! So I thought, "Yeah right, this must be a scam", but like most of
      us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you send
      .00 to each of the 6 names and address stated in the article. You then
      place your own name and address in the bottom of the list at #6, and
      post the article in at least 200 newsgroups (there are thousands). No
      catch, that was it. So after thinking it over, and talking to a few
      people first, I thought about trying it. I figured, "What have I got to
      lose except 6 stamps and .00, right?" Then I invested the measly
      .00. Well, GUESS WHAT!!… Within 7 days, I started getting money in
      the mail! I was shocked! I figured it would end soon, but the money just
      kept coming in. In my first week, I made 5.00. By the end of the
      second week, I had made a total of over ,000.00! In the third week I
      had over 0,000.00 – and it’s still growing. This is now my fourth week
      and I have made a total of just over 2,000.00 and it’s still coming in
      rapidly. It was certainly worth the .00, and six stamps. I have spent
      more than that on a lunch!! Let me tell you how this works and, most
      importantly, why it works….also, make sure you print a copy of this
      article NOW, so you can get the information off of it as you need it. I
      promise you that if you follow the directions exactly, that you will
      start making more money than you ever thought possible by doing
      something so easy! Suggestion: Read this entire message carefully! Print
      it out or download it. Follow the simple directions and watch the money
      come in! It’s easy. It’s legal
      – and your investment is only .00 (plus postage) . IMPORTANT: This is
      not a scam; it is not indecent; it is not illegal; and it is virtually
      no risk – it really works!!!! If all of the following instructions are
      adhered to, you will receive extraordinary dividends. PLEASE NOTE:
      Follow these directions EXACTLY and 0,000, or more, can be yours in 20
      to 60 days. This program remains successful because of the honesty and

      lists; however, the money made from the mailing lists is secondary to
      the income which is made from people like you and me asking to be

      6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each piece of

      address. Now get six US .00 bills and place ONE bill inside EACH of
      the 6 pieces of paper (so the dollar bill will not be seen through the
      envelope – this is to prevent thievery). Next, place one paper (with the
      dollar bill wrapped inside) into each of the 6 envelopes and seal the
      envelopes. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of
      paper stating the above phrase, your name and address, and a .00 bill.
      What you are doing is creating a service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! You
      are requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for it! Like most
      of us, I was a little skeptical and a little worried about the legal
      aspects of it all so I checked it out with the U.S. Post Office
      (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is indeed legal! Put a stamp
      on each envelope and mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:
      #1) Catherine Craig
      P.O. Box 783
      Pine Grove, La, 70453
      #2) Trudy Janssen
      1626 Newport Blvd. #31
      Costa Mesa, CA 92627
      #3) Terry Phillips
      #81-9045 Walnut Grove Dr.
      Langley, B.C., Canada, V1M-2E1
      #4) Barry Petry
      11001 Old St. Augustine Road
      Apartment #720
      Jacksonville, Flordia 32257
      #5) Mike Scott
      1812 carter
      Kennett, Mo 63857
      #6) michael mattingly
      223 shady way
      blufton sc. 29910
      M1H 2V6
      STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the
      other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc.) and add YOUR Name as
      number 6 on the list.
      STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as
      close to the original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at
      least 200 newsgroups (I think there are close to 24,000 groups). All you
      need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you make!
      This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18 Sec.
      1302 & 1341 of the Postal laws. Keep a copy of these steps for yourself
      and whenever you need money, you can use it again and again. PLEASE
      REMEMBER that this program remains successful because of the honesty and
      integrity of the participants and their carefully adhering to the
      directions. Look at it this way, if you are of integrity, the program
      will continue and the money that so many others have received will come
      your way also.
      NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to you, either
      on a computer or hard copy and keep the notes people send you. This
      VERIFIES that you are truly providing a service. Also, it might be a
      good idea to wrap the bill in dark paper to reduce the risk of mail
      theft. As each post is downloaded and the directions carefully followed,
      six members will be reimbursed for their participation as List
      Developers with one dollar each. Your name will move up the list
      geometrically so that when your name reaches the #1 position you will be
      receiving thousands of dollars in CASH!!! What an opportunity for only
      .00 (.00 for each of the first six people listed above). Send it
      now, add your own name to the list and you’re in business! DIRECTIONS
      FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS: (Note: if you have webtv just copy and
      past this letter in any news group you can.) Step 1) You do not need to
      re-type this entire letter to do your own posting. Simply put your
      cursor at the beginning of this letter and drag your cursor to the
      bottom of this document, and select ‘copy’ from the edit menu. This will
      copy the entire letter into the computer’s memory. Step 2) Open a blank
      ‘notepad’ file and place your cursor at the top of the blank page. From
      the ‘edit’ menu select ‘paste’. This will paste a copy of the letter
      into notepad so that you can add your name to the list. Step 3) Save
      your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do your postings in
      different settings, you’ll always have this file to go back to.
      Step 4) Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for various
      newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites, and
      discussions).
      Step 5) Visit these message boards and post this article as a new
      message by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste from
      the edit menu. Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that
      everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a
      particular group, click the post message button. You’re done with your
      first one!
      Congratulations…THAT’S IT! All you have to do is jump to different
      newsgroups and post away. After you get the hang of it, it will take
      about 30 seconds for each newsgroup! **REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU
      POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM
      OF 200** That’s it! You will begin receiving money from around the world
      within days! You may eventually want to rent a P.O. Box due to the large
      amount of mail you will receive. If you wish to stay anonymous, you can
      invent a name to use, as long as the postman will deliver it. ** JUST
      MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT ** Now the WHY part: Out of 200
      postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low example). So then I
      made .00 with my name at #6 on the letter. Now, each of the 5 persons
      who just sent me .00 make the MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my name
      at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each of the original 5, that is
      another 5.00 for me. Now those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts with my
      name at #4 and only 5 replies each. I will bring in an additional
      25.00! Now, those 125 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200
      with my name at #3 and only receive 5 replies each, I will make an
      additional 26.00! OK, now here is the fun part, each of those 625
      persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at #2 and they each only
      receive 5 replies, that just made me ,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons
      will all deliver this message to 200 newsgroups with my name at #1 and
      if still 5 persons per 200 newsgroups react, I will receive 5,625.00
      with an original investment of only .00! AMAZING! When your name is no
      longer on the list, you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups,
      and send out another .00 to names on the list, putting your name at
      number 6 and start posting again. The thing to remember is that
      thousands of people from all over the world are joining the internet and
      reading these articles everyday JUST LIKE YOU are now!! So, how can you
      not afford the .00 to see if it really works?? I think you can’t
      afford the opposite – to not give it a try. People have said, "What if
      the plan is played out and no one sends me the money?" So what! It’s
      only six bucks. What are the chances of that really happening anyway
      when there are tons of new honest people who are joining the internet
      and newsgroups everyday and who are willing to give it a try? Estimates
      are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users, every day, with thousands of those
      joining the actual internet. Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY
      – We’re all on this planet together and we’re here to love one another.
      Can you think of a better way than to treat one another kindly and to
      share the wealth? [email protected]

ALSO I HAVE ( HAD ) A LINE 6 AXSYS 212 THIS RIG REQUIRED TWO CHORDS ONE FROM THE GUITAR TO THE AMP AND ONE TO FROM THE AMP TO THE FLOOR CONTROLLER.(THAT WAS COOL). UNFORTUNATELY THIS RIG IS NOT UP TO PAR ON T O N E ALTHOUGH IMPRESSIVE AND DEFINITLY A UPGRADE FROM A PANDORAS BOX, IT DOES NOT HAVE UN TO IT THE TUBES THAT I HOLD SO DEARLY. SO HERE I AM!

      In my estimation it will tone down your sound. You will get a mellower tone(which I think is really cool in a lot of situations). You probably will find that your distortion sound doesn’t have as much juice but has some cool tones that it didn’t have before. To put it briefly, I think it’s a great idea if you want a bluesy tone. I think it’s a bad idea if you play heavy music.

      NEW MP3.COM BLUES ARTIST COVERS ALL THE GREATS!
      Nobby Reed puts 35 years worth of experience into his blues!

      August 23, 2000

      MP3.com has just gotten a new Blues Artist on board! Norbert "Nobby" Reed has just placed several of his original songs up on the internet music website.

      Reed’s soulfully skilled playing style evokes emotion and emits passion through out all his songs!

      Reed has successfully learned the styles of guitar greats Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix, Albert Collins, Albert King, Jeff Beck, Carlos Santana, Eric Johnson, Steve Vai, Eric Clapton, and many others! His own style is a unique blend of Blues, Rock, Jazz, Country and Fusion.

      The first entries into MP3.com include songs such as:

      Santana Sonata: a personal tribute to Carlos Santana that covers many Santana stylings from the early 70’s through today’s Rectified Santana sound!
      Beck’s Dilemma: which is a tribute to guitar great Jeff Beck
      Led Balloon: A great Jimmy Page type rocker that really gives the listener a treat!
      Respectfully Moore: A tribute to Gary Moore. (Excellent!)
      Out The Bottle: A soulful, rockin’ blues original off Nobby Reed’s first CD: Guitar on My Back
      Cryin’ in My Dreams: A blues ballad with an SRV sound, reminiscent of "Lenny", but with Reed’s own styling and singing. (One of his best songs!) Off Nobby Reed’s second CD: It’s All About The Blues

      Reed has played professionally for almost 35 years, and his experience and maturity come through his music very clearly. He has played most all styles of music, but has spent his last several years focusing on the Blues.

      At the time of this Press Release Reed had several songs in the process of being released on MP3.com, and has just headed into the studio to record his 3rd CD, untitled at this time.

      Give a listen to The Nobby Reed Project at: http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/45/the_nobby_reed_project.html

      modes should be thought of as keys. a scale is a source
      from which to extract chords for progressions.
      a mode is a scale so for it to be of any use song wise
      you must extract the chords from it.
      most guitar players are taught the modes in relation to the
      major scale which is the source of the confusion.
      Modes are independant keys in their own right with
      their own set of scale tone chords and own distinct flavour.

      Another confusing way modes are taught is that scale to
      chord relationship. e.g In c major , a progression that goes
      c , am , F , G . would mean c Ionian for the c major chord ,
      a aelion for the am chord , f lydian for the f major chord
      and g mixolydian for the g major chord.

      This would have to be the worst way to look at modes
      if your objective is to highlight the distinct flavour
      of the modes.
      The problem with this approach is that we hear harmony
      in the basic sense of tension and release.
      In the key of c major ‘C’ is considered to be tonal centre
      or ‘home or tonic’ or whatever you want to call it.
      Earwise this chord is considered to be the most resolved or
      home chord.
      whatever chord is played in the key of c now will be to
      some degree be tense or resolved depending on its relationship to the
      key centre or c chord.
      This is a fact and the fundamental principle behind harmony.

      To tie this back to modes it means that if you were to play the f lydian scale over the f major chord in the previous progression you would not hear the true flavour of the lydian mode.
      your ear would simply being hearing notes being played against the fourth chord of c major key waiting for the tension to be released with a return to the c or ‘tonic’ chord.

      To have a true representation of the f lydian mode in a song f chord would have to be the tonic or home chord e.g the progression F / G / F / G.

      In other words it is the chord progression that dictates wether the true sound of a mode is heard or not.

      Modes when thought of as keys are actually very simple. Most modal chordal progressions in rock usually consist of two ot three chords.
      One of these chords will be the definitive chord of that mode. This is a little harder to explain so I wont bother at the moment.

      Songs do not stay on one chord all the time. Any notes that you are playing at a particular point have that particular sound ,colour or characteristic
      because of their relationship to the underlying chord , and in turn that chord has it’s particular sound or tension because of it’s relationship to the’tonic’ or ‘home’ chord.
      You can begin to see how important key centres are when it comes to how notes and chords sound.

      The bottom line modes are just keys. If you extract the scale tone chords from the key and base your progressions on it you will end up with the true
      harmonic colour of that mode.
      a lot of rock and metal songs use progressions based on modal keys but still use simple pentatonic scales over them . a lot of them would not even realise the progression is extracted from a
      a modal scale. It can be that simple if you want.
      Sure it can get a lot more involved but for most guitarists they just want a basic understanding of what the hell a mode actually is or what it does.

      Playing in major or minor keys all the time can get tiresome to the ear.
      Modes can bring a fresh new sonic approach to a solo instead of the same old pentatonic
      scale material everytime.

      I hope this has’nt caused anyone more confusion about this subject and hope it has helped
      somebody clear up some misconceptions about modes.

      I haven’t heard of Aria Pro guitars since the early 1980’s.Back then they were considered "yucky" axes.The low budget stuff today is built much better.But if you like it…cool.

      : I’ve been playing for 8 months and,and I’m going to buy a second guitar.My first was a strat coppy,and I wanted to buy a fender sometime soon.I play alot of punk,alternative,and blues.I’m interested in the cyclone,standard fat strat,powerhouse strat,and classic 50’s reissue strat.any suggestions?

      Personally I don’t like fender that much because I like to play metal and the whole rapock
      thing, but fender is definetly very good at making high quality instruments. I would say the
      fat strat because it i good calue for price, and the humbucker with the singles will give you a
      much more versatile sound. The other guitars are good instruments, but I would say the price
      and pickups give the fat strat the edge

      I think you may have a guitar that was made around the corner where I live. I was in Mr Reeves sons band along time ago when he started to make guitars
      here in Luton, Beds, England.
      if you email me I might be able to put you in touch with Mr Reeves if you like. I hope I’m not wrong about this, but I must say he was a perfectionist when I knew him. I did see him recently mowing the garden so he’s still with us.

      : Wow, it seems you’re an awfully narrowminded, ignorant, opinionated idiot! While I agree that
      : Wylde can play, I think he just sucks. It doesn’t matter how good you are if you’re a musical
      : idiot with no taste, just noise, does it? Oh, and any musician (especially guitar player) knows
      : that Neil is one of the greatest writers and guitar players in rock and roll. If that wasn’t true, why
      : would your heroes from Pearl Jam play with him? Think about it. Listen to some Neil and
      : see. Find out who some of today’s biggest stars’ influences are. Neil’s there. Oh, and Wylde
      : may not look to homeless, but I sure as hell wouldn’t put down Neil’s image and praise his!

      Alright…I told you guys not to shit on Zakk Wylde. You can’t claim that Zakk Sucks. Listen to his live recordings with Ozzy, especially "Just Say Ozzy". He was only 19 at the time playing with a metal god. His rendition of classic Ozzy tunes spews energy, and I don’t know if you have ever seen him live but he is one of the most exciting, and entertaining guitar players I have ever seen. The tone he had when he played with Ozzy can’t be touched either. His work with wah pedals is extremely dynamic and adds to soloing instead of hiding mistakes and sounding faster than he really is. Granted, I like Neil Young, but in terms of entertaining to watch…Uh…he doesn’t even come close to being as energetic as Zakk. Young is timeless, but Zakk steals the live show.

      Sorry if I misjudged you. I wasn’t in the best mood. I just think it’s narrow-minded and
      short-sighted to dismiss a respected and succesful guitar legend with "he sucks".
      That’s what reminded me of the "shredder attitude", which I’m sure you’re familiar with.
      Since you’re primarily an acoustic player, I’m surprised you don’t appreciate Keith’s very
      tasty acoustic work, especially on records like "Sticky Fingers" or "Goat’s Head Soup". Take
      another listen to "Love in Vain", for instance: There’s an excellent live version on their
      relatively recent "Stripped" album.

      I bet you are talking about the input levals on a multitrack. I have a Tascam, and i do the same thing. All it does is make a bassline leval for you input. Unless you are recording with incredible levals coming from your guitars, you will have to set near microphone. DO you mic your amp, or play direct?

      >>>00 more or less depending on other factors such as : Color, fixed or floating bridge, original case, original hardware such as pickguard and backplate, four or three bolt neck? and or any other modifications. How do you know it’s a 73? is the serial # on the headstock? or on the backplate? The 5 way switch is not original if it’s a 73. They only started using those around 76′. Later….

        the serial number should be somwhere around 520000 and the staggered pole pieces on the pickups say that it’s a 73 strat cause in 74 they started making flat pole pieces .the price in a shop would be about 3400 euro but I wouldend pay more then 750 or least 900 euro .and if the strat has binn modifight then you better hope it has the original pickups

      You might want to use less gain. Turn down your preamp so that your distortion isn’t as "tight." The other option would be to invest in a noise gate. The gate will stop any sound from going to the amp when you are not playing.

    • #27702

      First of all, don’t be fooled by what you hear on a CD. The guitar tracks have lots of studio work done on them, and when the bass is added to the guitar it sounds thicker and fuller than any amp ever will. The closest you will probably get is to crank the treb and bass to the max, and set the contour all the way down or close to it. Put on only a little reverb or you will end up sounding like hell when you play without it a year from or two from now. Good luck and let your ears be the final judge!

      If you have good pickups and are playing live, try a regular A/B box. Run channel A to your amp for the distortion, and run Channel B direct to the mixing board for a super clean tone.

      : I’ve heard what some of you people say about pink floyd. whats next Led Zepplin, or Blue Oyster Cult? Why do people think that pink floyd is boring, they had a lot of good music.

      Pink Floyd is a great band. Music like Pink Floyd’s might fade in and out of the mainstream, but they have a really strong fan base that grows by the day. They will be around alot longer then alot of the top 40 bands you hear today. BTW, speaking of "bad raps" lots of people seem to think that learning from tab is bunk. It’s not! Nothing wrong with learning a song from some reliable Tab. In fact "TAB" is on of the oldest forms of musical notation known to man. Goes all the way back to Lute music of the European Dark ages and then some. It was around way befor the standard musical notation of today.

      : Sounds like that price (in Sterling, right?) might be for a Mexican built Fender Stratocaster,
      : which would, in my opinion, be a very good guitar for a beginner. There are cheaper options, though.
      : Fender make a reputable entry level guitar called the Squire Stratocaster, which you should be able
      : to pick up for about half that price. What kind of guitar sound are you looking for? In Strat style you
      : could look at Yamaha Pacificas — pretty good and pretty cheap. Obviously, they’re not going to be as
      : good as a £1600 guitar, but for a beginner they’d be fine. Check out some Epiphone guitars in the
      : Les Paul style. Have a look at some back issues of The Guitar Magazine — the revirews are great.
      : Online, go to the guitar department of http://www.harmony-central.com.

      >>>>Because you are a beginer, I would suggest getting a solid color mexi strat. Used guitars offer a better deal but you really have to know what you are doing to get the best one. Mexi’ Fenders are good middle of the road guitars and will take you into the next playing level.

      : hello my son just got his first guitar but we cant afford lessons, a friend told me theres song books out there that show you where to place your fingers when you play, does anyone know what shes talking about, and what these books would be called so i dont look like a total idiot when i go to buy him one. he really wants to learn and i really use some help! thanks please e-mail me at [email protected] thanks

      >>>Good advice so far. I would also like to add that a decent guitar tuner would be a must have item! Make sure you let them know if it’s for electric and or accoustic guitar. If you do buy one, have someone show you and your son how to use it befor you leave the store. If you can’t afford one get a pitch pipe. Stay away from the tuning fork, as it can be hard for beginners to get on with. Good luck and feel free to E-mail me if you need any more help.

      : I am a beginner. I seek instruction in playing as Keith richards. A web site in tablature would be very good.

      >>>>Keith Richards style comes across to me as being very loose and raunchy, with a "dust floor dive" or old juke kind of vibe. Esspecially his live stuff. A favorite tunning for K.R., has become the open G tunning with the 6th (low E) sometimes taken right off the guitar! The open G tunning is: (low to high)>>D,G,D,G,B,D<< and was used in many a Stones tunes. If you want to get some insight into K.R.’s "scene" then get a’hold of a couple of good Stones Tab books (Online tab is not a good beginners tab, as it can contain lots of mistakes) and jump into the songs right off..getting to know the chords, chord progressions, chord changes and timing, etc..In addition, I highly recomend what "gar" suggests. Interviews and tech’ info from mags’ are a great resource. For this I recomend the October 1997 issue of Guitar World. Great info on Keiths playing tech’ as well as a MUST READ interview with him. Keep on Jammin!

      If it’s the sound you want, get it. I think you can get a martin D28 for about that much though, and the martin sounds amazing. I got my d35 for around 1400. The most important thing is to just play a bunch with no discrimination in name or type. Buy the one that sounds the best.

      If you’re paying a 000 for a washburn, why not get a taylor or martin!? Those are the 2 best accoustic guitars you can get. I personally have an ovation 6 and a Taylor 12. And I have a hard time playing my 6 after getting my 12 because taylors are just the best! I would even check out a Guild accoustic. Personally, I love the taylors!

      You know that high squealing note you sometimes get
      accidentally if your picking is inaccurate?
      thats the sound you get when you do a pinch harmonic.
      Try slanting the pick in your hand so that your thumb is near to the point of the pick, then pick the note as normal, now your thumb, being close to the point, should brush the string lightly, resulting in a note an octave higher being played.
      You just have to practice it.
      Picking over the fretboard makes it much easier, that way you can get the taste to it, and move your pickhand to where you normally pick when you master that.

      : i don’t understand could you please give me more help as my favourite guitarist is richie sambora (BON JOVI) and he uses pinched harmonics on almost all of his solos ,thanks

      Hmm.Recording,eh? Very cool!(1)Use two microphones if you can swing it.One close to the amp,the other further
      away for room sound.(2)Use your own effects(except maybe Reverb).Got talked into using the studio’s stuff
      (flanger,phasor,chorus),reget it to this very day.My RP-10 could spank his shit!(3)NEVER GO DIRECT,into the board.The board’s sound is very dry,trebly and sterile.(4)Don’t let the studio over-compress your sound.Guitar
      Solos should have peaks and valleys.(5)Don’t worry about making mistakes,stay loose.If it’s a BIG-UN,then
      punch-in.If not,FUCK IT!!Us guitar guy’s tend to be over critcal of ourselves.

      I think it’s because the young crowd were not as exposed to it as we were.I learned a lot of stuff by listening to my father’s albums.Today’s youth are much more arrogant and impatient than we were.Pink Floyd and Led Zep gave us good mood music,loaded with texture.This stuff was very poetic and introspective.
      But it takes time to listen to.In this selfish, meglomanic,fingertip age,we should extend to the younger crowd the art of listening and patience.However
      ,the "SPOON-FEEDING FRENZY" has reached warp speed,
      reducing young and old into infantile head-hunters.I like a lot of the newer groups,they have much to offer.
      But lets not forget where we come from.Also,lets sit back with our instruments and learn these guitar solos
      by ear,instead of being spoon-fed tabs,okay??

      Hi fellow guitar players,
      I’m considering a Washburn accoustic D-55 Cherokee guitar. It’s pretty much new. It’s been at a local dealer’s store for a year or so now, and has a few small scratches and dings from being played there. Anyway, they are asking a cool ,000.00 for it (including hardcase). It seems like a good deal to me, but I thought I’d see if anyone here can give me advice on this guitar. Thanks!

        I see that your post here is dated. Just curious: did you get the Cherokee? These were built for Washburn by a fine luthier–Dana Bourgeois. I picked one up about three years ago for $1000. It’s a great guitar. Great projection. I gave it to my son a couple of years ago when I bought a Taylor. Miseed it so much that I searched until I found another guitar in the same series: the Savannah–Koa back and sides. I won’t part with it.

      : 1. What electric guitar would be ideal for beginners?

      : 2. How much would it cost?

      : 3. I went in to my local music store and was told a "Fender" guitar at
      : a cost of £379 was the best guitar for beginners.
      : Is this the best guitar for beginners?
      : Is the price (£379) right for a "Fender guitar"?
      : If not how much should 1 be and where can I get a cheaper 1 in the
      : North West area?

      :
      : CHEERS FOR YOUR HELP!

      Hello

      All I can say is stay away from Fender SQUIRES, cuz they’re absolutely the worst guitars on this planet, and don’t have anything to do with a real Fender Guitar.
      squires look ncute, but THEY SOUND AWFUL, even if you manage to tune them. And even if you do, and it starts to sound more or less OK, it never intonates well.
      A throwaway guitar, that’s it. I’d advise you to look for a used Mexican Fender – all in all, try to find something used, but of a better quality – or a Japanese one.
      Yamaha’s Pacificas are jolly good too. I know, that you just begind, and don’t feel like giving away a grand for an axe and then playing drums for the rest of yer life, but the better guitar you have the more attached you get to it.
      But – look for used ones, and happy hunting!

      Feel free to ask, anyway.

      I don’t see the hostility that you see out there. I hear more respect for older bands than hate. I am a big Rush fan, and I am 16, so that should be a little weird. I love Zep, and a funny thing is, that I was at a Foo Fighters concert last month, and everybody there rocked out to a Floyd classic "Have a Cigar".

        That’s an old McPherson guitar that was made in Japan. The new McPhersons have been completely redesigned and are handmade in the USA. These new guitars have a single offset soundhole, cantilevered neck, and state-of-the-art bracing design. The finish is flawless and the sound is INCREADABLE! You can see their website at http://www.mcphersonguitars.com I also downloaded some fantastic music played on these guitars. It’s worth checking out.

        There are two different kinds of Mcpherson guitars. One was a cheap guitar, origionally made in Japan in the 80’s. Another is an AMAZING guitar, which is custom made in the U.S. They used to have three sound holes, one at the end of the guiar, and one by the neck, on either side. Then they switched to one larger sound hole, on top. This allows more of the wood top of the body to vibrate and resonate, resulting in an unbeatable sound. For more info, go to http://www.mcphersonguitars.com . They are $4,000 ea, and as of now, the waiting list is a year and a half. So go all out and get one, you wont regret it!

      Linda,

      Just go to a music store that sells guitars (Guitar Center is one of many) and ask someone to show
      you some songbooks that include guitar chord diagrams. They usually have the name of the chord
      (such as "C" or "F" above the notes where the chord changes occur along with a tiny diagram
      representing the strings and frets of the guitar with dots where the fingers should go). Since these
      are sometime difficult to interpret or overly simplistic, I would recommend also getting some kind of
      reference book for guitar chords which shows the proper fingering in more detail.

      Just don’t go to a place that sells only pianos, band instruments, or sheet music (that’s where they might not understand
      what you are talking about!!!!). But, anyone who sells guitars will know what you’re asking for and will
      not think you are an idiot for asking.

      BTW, that’s how I learned to play guitar, and several years later got A’s in my music theory classes
      at college.

      Best of luck!!!

      :Keith may be to guitar what Ringo is to drums: someone who isn’t technically outstanding but plays
      with heart and soul to create a unique style which remains popular after three decades. I don’t think you
      will have much luck finding "instruction" in playing like KR, but there are many web sites that discuss
      the open tunings which are the basis of the KR sound. Also, he removes the top (low E or 6th) string
      from many of his guitars and plays with only 5 strings. Try this to get an idea: remove or deaden the
      top E, drop the 1st string from E down to D, and drop the 5th string from A down to G.

      If you can get a DVD or video of the Stones in concert, watch how Keith makes a barre with the index
      finger and uses the middle and ring fingers to make chord changes and embellishments.

      Good luck!!!

      I am selling a ’92 Paul Reed Smith custom 24 for 800. It has a neck through body, 24 frets, bird inlays, vintage yellow finish (it actually looks yellowish orange) with red back and neck, beautiful wood grain, and five-way pick-up selector and original case. You must be thinking "there must be something wrong with it!" Nope. There is an brand new identical one up the street selling for 400. I could sell it for more but I want the money fast to buy the Zakk Wylde signature Les Paul. If anyone shits on Zakk he or she is pretty lame and is not a rocker. Anyway, I bought it on consignment for a steal because the original owner needed cash fast too and I am passing the savings on to anyone interested in purchasing this incredible instrument. There is no body damage, just a small chip in the paint on the point of the headstock. I am located in Minnesota so if you live here your in luck because I am not going to pay for shipping on this once in a lifetime deal. Anyway, for more info, e-mail me at [email protected]. Check out your local PRS dealer and look at the PRS custom 24. Do your research and you’ll see that this is a STEAL. Thanks you guys and keep rockin’

      be very careful. If it is an SG, it’s probably a ’62
      instead of a 61. 61’s were Les Pauls but Les didn’t
      like the changed instrument and insisted that his name not be associated with them. In 62 the name was changed to SG (solid guitar), and Les Pauls weren"t
      made again until 1968, returning to the original shape: I have a friend who has inherited an unused 1961 Gibson SG in new condition.. It was bought by a relative in 1961 who never learned to play and has everything from the tags through to original strings. Any idea on it’s current value?

      : Well 61′ was the first year of production, and if is NOS mint, that could rake in ,000’s of dollars. You could ask somebody in the Gibson Forum, at Gibson.com, what they think. They have employees that answer questions for you. I’d say you could at least get ,000 for it easy, if its perfect.

        I’m no expert, but I was told the SG was the original ‘Les Paul’, pre 58/59, whenever the current shape came into being. After the new version came along, the original ‘Les Paul’ became the ‘Les Paul SG’, which became simply the ‘SG’ in the latter part of 1961. If it has a cover over the truss rod adjustment that says ‘Les Paul’ on it, it is what I understand to be a ‘Les Paul SG’, the last of which were made in the first few months of 1961. I am lucky enough to have one of these ’61 Les Paul SGs, but it has been through the wringer – the neck broken several times, then steamed apart on my behalf to repair it to its original shape, and fiberglassed for strength; the whammy system long gone before I bought it. I didn’t know what I was buying, I was young and getting my first electric, saw a used Gibson within my price range, and grabbed it. On the back of the headstock is branded the # 247. I have no idea what yours is worth, but considering that everyone who has offered an opinion has also offered to buy it for that price, I’d put its value somewhat higher than what they are offering. : be very careful.

      I use a Mr. Crybaby Wah/Volume, and it does the job. Nothing is like using the knob. When I play "Cathedral", I still use the knob, because it tweaks the volume, less than the sweep of the pedal. The Ernie ball is supposed to be good, but I got a Wah, to go with the volume, so I am happy

      : i am traveling to Korea and will have time to shop for
      : an acoustic guitar. i’d like some information or addresses on where to shop and what to look for
      : thanx rich

      I just returned from Osan Air Base last November and yes there are good deals to be had. I bought a Dean acoustic ( 15.00) which sounds as sweet as a Martin and an Epiphone Les Paul Special (Same as Slash’s signature model except it’s quilted teal finish and doesn’t have Slash’s snake symbol on it. It even has all black hardware. For this I paid 50.00 brand new and bought my brother in law an Epi Les Paul custom (black with all gold hardware) for the same price. Try finding those prices in the states…You can’t. Why, because here in the states YOU pay for the shipping cost and dealer mark up. You’re just getting it without those charges by buying it sooner in the process. Koreas economy is weaker than ours and the dealer markup there is nowhere as inflated as here. Word of caution, pay attention to what you’re looking at. Some of these guitars are simply overages or pecentages of product that these companies (Epi, Fender, Dean, Ovation, Samick, etc.) have agrred to let the factories sell localy but some, however are what most people would call "seconds" or flaws. Maybe the finish didn’t turn out so great or something is slightly off center. Whatever the case if you buy one look at it very well, and SLOWLY. Then leave and go back in a day or two and look at it again to make sure you didn’t miss anything. Which is how we should all purchase but I’m guilty of the impulse purchase sometimes also. Anyway, Osan AB is about 40 miles south of Seoul (0.00 by cab, or there are busses and trains which cost almost nothing). The city just outside the main gate of the base is called Song Tan. The best shop there is called Mr. Potatos guitar. The owner is Ted Kim. One of the best men you’ll ever meet. He carries all the fore-mentioned brands as well as his own line of acoustics and electrics, which cost a little more but I believe are actually better than most. He has the factories build them to his specs. He even gives you free lessons once a week for buying from him. If you are able to get near Osan, check him out. You will not regret it. Ted is an upstanding business man, he won’t sell you junk. If there not good enough he sends them back. If you buy from somewhere else… like I said, make sure you inspect it carefully, people are people no matter what the country is. Take care and good luck.

        I too have just returned from Osan AB and I bought a guitar from Mr. Potato. It is a Fender Telecaster Deluxe imitation (Mr. Potato brand) and it sounds and plays beautifully. It was $290 (including case) and worth every penny. Mr. Potato has a web site… http://www.mr-potato.com and he can also be emailed at [email protected]. As for his business practices, I have never had such good service, ANYWHERE!! While playing my guitar at a local bar (the Piano Bar) my guitar fell and incured some damage. He exchanged it for me no questions asked. He also gives a no questions asked 1 year waranty. I have never been so happy with a guitar purchase and I have played for about 15 years now and have bought over 10 guitars. The Tele copy I have plays just as well as the American Deluxe version I already have. If you want a good guitar, I highly recommend getting one from Mr. Potato. Check out his website.

      Keith uses a lot of open tunings. I wouldn’t trust tabs to much. I’d look for interviews and
      analyses in guitar mags.
      And in response to those who think that his playing "sucks" and is very easy to figure out, I’d
      suggest that they either have a simplistic understanding of their fretboard (a la "shredders
      rooool!" type attitudes) and have little sense of the significance of tasteful rhythm playing in
      the context of a group as a whole, or aren’t overly familiar with his music. Oh, and feel free to

      Strats will cover any style of music, although they may not be the best. Fuel plays a Les Paul (gibson) and a Fender Tele, which are actually quite interesting considering the style. If you like the strat but want the humbuckers, you can always replace the pickup or buy a fat strat, but I don’t think it’s really that big of a deal. If you’re going to go with a Les Paul, unless you can afford a gib, get an epiphone and replace the pickups with new ones, probably something by dimarzio. For a tele, leave it as is, the amp is where the adjustments should be made. I still think that a strat would be your best bet, however. They are very versatile. (American all the way)

      Sounds like that price (in Sterling, right?) might be for a Mexican built Fender Stratocaster,
      which would, in my opinion, be a very good guitar for a beginner. There are cheaper options, though.
      Fender make a reputable entry level guitar called the Squire Stratocaster, which you should be able
      to pick up for about half that price. What kind of guitar sound are you looking for? In Strat style you
      could look at Yamaha Pacificas — pretty good and pretty cheap. Obviously, they’re not going to be as
      good as a £1600 guitar, but for a beginner they’d be fine. Check out some Epiphone guitars in the
      Les Paul style. Have a look at some back issues of The Guitar Magazine — the revirews are great.

      Is this the best guitar for beginners?
      Is the price (£379) right for a "Fender guitar"?

      : any feedback on this pedal would be great. thinking about buying it and want to know the pros and cons.

      I have one and I love it. It gets pretty hairy, I think it has more of a Marshall-ish sound than a Boogie. I think one of the draw backs is that you can’t get the levels even for both channels. I use it for a high gain sound and I use a Fulldrive 2(which I also love) for more of a medium gain. I guess you might want to see if it matches up well with your amp.

      Hmm.I’ll try to explain it.With your right hand placed
      near the middle of the rythym pickup you should try to
      lightly brush the string with your thumb while hitting the string this will produce a harmonic/octave of the note you’re actually playing.Try not to dampen the string though.On a 22 fret guitar try to imagine where the 24th fret would be,there’s your harmonic!

      Has anyone ever had a severely dislocated finger. I did a job on the middle finger of my lefy hand 2 months ago and the middle knuckle is still twice it’s normal size. I can play but it’s sill sore and stiff. Question: Will the swelling continue to lessen and the soreness decrease. If anyone has firsthand experience with this or knows of anyone who does, I’d sure appreciate hearing form you.
      Thanks much!

      SKB makes a pedal board, that you can arrange your pedals on with velcro,in any order you wish. It also has a nine volt power supply for up to six pedals,& comes with a padded bag. you said you have 7 or 8 effects ,so this might not be the right solution, unless your willing to dump a few .

      Hmm.I would check the chord structure and build my lead lines off of the arppegios of those chord tones.Chords dictate almost everything in music.If you aren’t changing the key with yuor chord progressions,run the scales in that key…slowly.
      Good Luck

      Hmm.Certain strings have more harmonic response than others.Example,the B string is the loudest string on the guitar.The G and D strings have the lowest output.
      Your pickups should have screws(adjustable poles) on them.I would Lower the B string pole,and raise the D and G poles(screws).Also raise the high E pole just a tad.Remember the D and G strings need the most raising.That should do it.
      Good Luck

      Just keep playing until you have calusue on your finger tips and on your index finger then you will be able to play much easier. your finger tips will get hard as a rock and then every thing will be possible.

      : Any tips or suggestions would be greatful.. …Thanks

      : I just recently bought an archtop electric jazz guitar and have been able to get an excellent sound out of it. But certain notes are not as clear or loud as the others. I know my amp can handle all frequencies, so it must be the guitar. The bridge and pickups are adjustable. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
      : Thanks,
      : Ryan
      "Certain notes are not as clear or loud as others" is what intrigues me about your question. If, for example, you are talking about the "high E" is not as loud as the other strings, I would suggest either/or raising the pickups closer to the high E side and/or lowering the pickups at the low E side.
      But if you are suggesting that the "notes" in question are randomly located all over the fingerboard, then I would suspect that some frets have "popped up" and are creating high spots on the fingerboard. These high spots are sometimes only found by using a short straight edge (like the side of a 3.5" floppy) and "rocking" it over the fret(s) in question. If there is rocking, that fret is high. if there is no rocking, the frets are of equal height. High frets can create notes that are "not as clear or loud".
      Let me know if this helps

      Well 61′ was the first year of production, and if is NOS mint, that could rake in ,000’s of dollars. You could ask somebody in the Gibson Forum, at Gibson.com, what they think. They have employees that answer questions for you. I’d say you could at least get ,000 for it easy, if its perfect.

      For somebody who has to ask that question, try fretting the E string at the 7th fret, and tune down until, the note you hit when fretting the E sring at the 7th fret is the same as an open note on the A string (i.e., an A).

      : : Drop tuning is like a standard tuning, but the sixth string is just dropped a whole step.
      : : So drop tuning to D is easy, tune to E in standard tuning, then drop the sixth string a whole step, and start crunching those power chords =)
      : Perfectly tune your guitar, then tune that 6th string an octave lower than the 4th string. Now it sounds like you are playing the same note a octave higher, and lower

      Get a combo amp and mic it for the best sound on stage and through the P.A. You don’t need alot of power because you’ll drown out the singer on stage if you crank it up. The lower the stage volume the better you’ll sound out front, because you’ll cut down on phase problems and bleed thruogh on mics. Another reason for having a lower power amp is that you can get that "crnked" sound at a low volume because you can get the output tube distortion along with the preamp tubes. The preamp input on the amp is for the effects loop. You can connect your stompboxes/processors thru without adding much noise/hiss. In my experience distortion boxes usually don’t sound good through the effects loop but sometimes they do you just have to experiment. Most people think stacks look really cool on stage (I’ll have to admit I do too) and there’s been many big time guitar players that have huge stacks and play thru a single 12" miced. There’s been many bands that have empty 4×12’s behind them.

      This is probably a dumb q, but I’d appreciate help. Got my first guitar (nylon string) yesterday and thought I had it in tune. But one of the strings sounds very "dead", hardly any pitch even on open string. And each of the other strings has the same problem: the pitch doesn’t go up a half step with each fret; in fact, there is no pitch change from open string till I get to 7th or 8th fret. THEN a huge difference — beautiful sound and clear pitch change with each fret.

      Any ideas?

      Well, basically, you probably want a laminate wood guitar as opposed to a solid wood(more expensive by far). As for what brand and what to pay you should pick the one you think sounds the best, and go with that. Seeing that you probably can’t play very much, it may be a good idea to bring someone who can play along with you. I bought a fender laminate brand new for 300 bucks a year ago, it has turned out to be a decent guitar, I think fender’s acoustics have gotten a lot better since working with guild, so maybe you should lean towards a fender.

      Well I don’t have a picture, but I’ve got one myself (black 1979) and it’s a great guitar, I’ve got the humbuckers split with a switch and I paid a lot more for it then you did (I’m dutch but in dollars it’s something like 00,- and it’s still worth it to me.

      I bought a 1975 Fender Telecaster Deluxe sight unseen over the phone from a friend of a friend who lives several states away. It is a Chocolate Burst with two humbuckers pickups. I got the guitar for 25.00 with a hardshell case. I thought this was a good deal, so I took it. the guitar is in aprox. 80% condition. Does anyone have a photo of this telecaster? The guitar wont be here for another week or so and I’m dieing to see it.

        It is a cool piece, but I think it would be easier to learn how to read notation and learn this piece in a fraction of the time. A lot of people think notation is a hard thing to learn. It took me about 6 months learning to play notation on guitar to be able to play intermediate classical pieces from books and sheet music. (the same time they suggest it will take to learn this one piece) Just somthing to think about??

It doesn’t give out a really thin sound like the pick ups on the cheap squires. I can’t find any information on the pro tone series not even on the fender homepage, so it would be great if someone could help me.

They pac the most damn punch into a single coil space.. NO ROUTING! And, yeah, they SLAM! Best thing is, with Seymore Duncan, you can pop it in, try it out, and if you hate them (i doubt it!) you can pop ’em back out and try a different pickup in 30 days.

      : any q’s just reply

      I have found that when it comes to distortion, It’s all a matter of your ear. I would suggest a "Stomp box" over onboard distortion. When you go to your local Music Shop make sure you bring YOUR guitar WITH YOU to try out as many as you can before the Salesman gives you the ‘ol "heave-ho". If possible, bring YOUR amp as well. There is nothing worse then buying an effect box when it sounds great running through a guitar you dont own, while plugged in to a Marshal stack, when you own a Crate combo!.. It aint gonna sound the same!!

      bah, stretching your strings wouldn’t fix that, it would just keep you in tune a little better. It sounds like you restrung the guitar with a different guage string, causing the action to change. The twang is the strings hitting the frets, which suggests that the strings are too light.

Tubes, are for the most part used in tube amps, giving these amps great warm tone. Yet, some solid state amps, do have preamp tubes, and that defines them as Hybrids.

      Hmm.Marty is right.The pickup coils tend to ossilate a
      certain frequency(feedback)when positioned near another Magnetic source(speaker magnets,microphone).
      Ron Bykowski of Funkadeleic(Cosmic Slop,’73)used two amp stacks in a room.By simply changing his position he got different types of feedback.In your case an overdrive pedal should work well.Distortion pedals have too much gain,so when your clean sound is already
      loud,you’ll get too much ugly feedback.A pre-amp could also work if you rely on the amp’s distortion.Most guitar players I know have 4 or 5 overdrive/distortion units,so you might choose some that suit your sound.
      Play on dude!!

      : : Hey chaps,

      : : I listen to slightly less hard stuff, but I do like the sound of feedback. Just not too heavy. Every modern guitar band seems to have the same feedback sound, which I don’t mind. Im just about to start a band and buy equipment, but does this sound come from the cabinets and the amp heads, or does every single guitarist have their own preferred pedal?

      : : Thanks.
      : I don’t know who exactly you are talking about, but feedback, usually resonates from the amp, but could come from a pedal, but mostly the amps overdrive. So to answer your question, the head does it, because its the amp, the cab, is just a bunch of speakers, kind of like a computer monitor.

      In fact, feedback comes from sympathetic vibrations of the sound the guitar is making resonating through the guitar’s pickups causing them to oscillate. Feedback can be musical (it sounds good) or unmusical such as when it causes the pickups to squeal uncontrollably.
      Feedback can happen without there being an intentional high gain distortion sound such as amp overdrive or a pedal, if there is enough volume from the amp, or close proximity between the guitar and it’s sound source. People usually associate feedback with distortion because it helps the whole process get started more easily.

      : Hey chaps,

      : I listen to slightly less hard stuff, but I do like the sound of feedback. Just not too heavy. Every modern guitar band seems to have the same feedback sound, which I don’t mind. Im just about to start a band and buy equipment, but does this sound come from the cabinets and the amp heads, or does every single guitarist have their own preferred pedal?

      : Thanks.
      I don’t know who exactly you are talking about, but feedback, usually resonates from the amp, but could come from a pedal, but mostly the amps overdrive. So to answer your question, the head does it, because its the amp, the cab, is just a bunch of speakers, kind of like a computer monitor.

      I like the 550’s also.Might want ot change the pickups
      though.Esp axes are also known to shred with
      ferocity.Their stock pickups are quite nasty.The biggest diference is in neck width.Esp necks tend to be smaller,making it easier to vertically "tear shit up".Check one out.
      Good Luck

      This subject concerns continuous true tuning of strings for classical guitar.
      I tested a number of strings to look for a true tuning of e” at the twelfth fret.
      I found that upwards tuning true pitch at higher fret levels is rare.
      I used various brands in the past but never took records.
      So to be specific I now tested 1st (high e) strings of D’Addario Pro Arte nylon, Augustine purple nylon, Hannabach Carbon and GSP clear nylon super treble.
      Measuring point was the pitch at teh twelfth fret. Both Hannabach Carbon and Augustine were way off and inacceptably higher.
      D’Addario came close buth stil audibly higher and finally GSP turned out to be OK.

      Although limited this test was I’d like to share these results and would appreciate feedback to find out which stringbrand and type produce a continous correct pitch at all fretlevels.

      i’m not sure its the lack of talent, but the fact is that american ‘hiphop metal’ is fashionable, much more so than ‘true metal’, anyway the underground is going strong and following the metal tradition: unfashionable, powerful and innovative.
      I too hope this new trend will pass soon.

      Measuring Your Progress

      In order to make Vertical Growth as players, there are some very
      important
      conditions to be met. One of these, and one very often lacking in a
      player/practicers approach, is a systematic, scientific, method of
      measuring
      results. Of course, we all probably have some vague sense of whether or
      not
      we are actually making any progress as players. We all probably have
      those
      pieces or songs or leads we check in with from time to time to see if
      we are
      able to play them any better. But to really kick your progress into
      high
      gear, you need something a little, scratch that, a LOT more focused.
      You need
      a system. You need routines that you can apply to various situations,
      routines that give results, and provide the feedback on measurement of
      results that you need to assess the effectiveness of the routines
      themselves.
      You need to know whether a particular routine you have devised to solve
      a
      problem or improve something is actually working.

      Imagine going in to a gym to work out, and expecting to get results by
      randomly picking up weights each time you went in. How about, even
      worse, you
      never remembered what you did the last time! Sometimes you would work
      out
      with fifty pounds, sometimes a hundred. You know what would happen? At
      best,
      not much. At worst, a lot of sore or damaged muscles, and wasted time
      and
      money (but at least it would get you out of the house)!

      Yet that is what many guitarists do when they practice. They will be
      working
      on, say, an arpeggio study or scale, and they will have no idea of the
      top
      speed they are able to play it, the speed at which their present level
      of
      development allows them to play that particular passage of music or
      exercise,
      before beginning to "fall apart." And it is very important to know
      that!
      Otherwise, you will have no idea (or not a clear enough idea) of when
      you
      have made progress, when you have gotten results from a particular
      practice
      approach. Just as a bodybuilder must know what weight they are
      presently able
      to lift or press so that they can work out with the right amount of
      weight at
      their particular point of development, musicians must know the same
      thing
      when it comes to their technique, which is THEIR athletic ability to
      produce
      music on their instrument.

      This means that if I am working on a scale, I must know the top speed I
      can
      play it. I must work up to that speed every day. I must then apply
      certain
      practice routines designed to get me past that top speed, so that if
      today I
      can play it at 120 beats per minute in sixteenth notes, I will be able
      to
      play it at 132 bpm next month.

      And how do we do that. GET A METRONOME AND LEARN HOW TO USE IT! I
      swear, I
      should start my own metronome company, given the number of metronomes I
      have
      been responsible for having people buy over the years! It is required
      for all
      my students. I cannot produce results with students if they don’t have
      a
      metronome, and know how to use it effectively in practice routines.

      And once they do know how to use it, they have a powerful method and
      tool for
      learning things ON THEIR OWN. Then my role as teacher becomes more of
      showing
      them higher levels of playing, and introducing them to more complex
      situations that will be solved by using the same practice routines they
      have
      used on the ones previously mastered.

      Here are some ways to apply these understandings to your immediate
      situation:

      1) Get a metronome, and use it for all "technical" routines. Use it
      especially for all routines designed to increase speed, i.e., all scale
      and
      arpeggio studies.

      2) Determine your top speed as soon as possible when learning a new
      technical
      exercise. This is the speed you will work up to each practice session.

      3) Determine as soon as possible exactly where the exercise or musical
      passage breaks down as you go past your top speed.

      4) Isolate those notes, analyze the movements of both hands required
      for
      producing those notes, AND FIGURE OUT WHAT IS GOING WRONG at that
      speed.

      5) Move the metronome to much lower speeds, and look for the BEGINNINGS
      of
      those wrong things happening, and work with them there, at the
      beginning. For
      instance, if my top speed on a Gmajor second position scale is 120 bpm,
      and I
      notice at that speed my pinky is getting so tense it is beginning to
      pull
      away from the string, I will LOOK FOR THAT STARTING TO HAPPEN AT A MUCH
      LOWER
      SPEED. Once I see that (which I never noticed before), I can work with
      it
      there, fix it at the lower speed, and then I WILL SEE THAT PASSAGE
      START TO
      GET STRONGER, HOLD TOGETHER AT THE HIGHER SPEEDS.

      The more you understand and DO these things, the more you will have the
      great
      confidence and pleasure that comes with knowing you can always make
      yourself
      a better guitarist because YOU KNOW HOW TO PRACTICE!

      I’d go for a low line Jackson or Ibanez before a Rogue. Less features will probably mean a better guitar in this price range. The bridge pickup should be fine for solos, plus you’ll probably get a better factory pickup in a Jackson or Ibz. Good luck

      Anybody know if Rogue guitars are any good?
      I’ve been thinking of buying the Rogue RK550,
      mainly ‘cos its real cheap and has 3 mini-humbuckers and 24 frets. Now the Rogues evidently are made in the same place as Squires, and i’m not too mad about them either. Also i’ve been considering some cheap Jackson models, most of them have only 2 humbuckers tho, and i doubt they are any good for lead work… any advice, comments etc?

        Yeah, i bought a Rogue SS4 for like $76 (including shipping) from MFriend. It came with 2 single-coils and a humbucker @the bridge. 5 way switching. I’m a bass player, and i just wanted something EXTREMELY cheap, just to mess around on, and never planned on performing with it. Since it was such a nice find, I use it all the time. The only problem is that the strings that came with it really sounded bad, but i just got some new ones and it has high quality sound. The single coils are great, the dont hum loudly, and they both sound great. The humbucker is pretty hot, but if you like the response of the HB, you can combine the smooth single coil with the HB and it sounds really nice. Im just mad I lost the tremelo bar.
