      on my washburn monterey acoustic-electric, the g-string quit playing through the amp. all the other strings sound fine, but the g won’t amplify. it’s about 18-years old. it just quit all of a sudden.

        Hi. This is David. My uncle had the same problem with the second string. The reason was the pickup (it is in the bridge of the guitar). As you said your guitar is quite old. The pickup has probably bent during this years. You should better show it to the men who understand something in this business, as my uncle did. And don’t try to do it yourself. Now my uncle’s guitar works perfectly though he didn’t change the pickup. Good luck. By the way, I try to find such a guitar, But the cheap one (may be second hand). Please give me some information if you have.

        THERE ARE SOME GREAT PICKUPS OUT THERE. MOST , AS THE OTHERS HAVE SAID, DIMARZIO AND SEYMOUR DUNCANS ARE GREAT. SCHALLER PICKUPS ARE VERY GOOD AND NOT TO EXPENSIVE. MY PERSONAL FAVOURITE IS THE SEYMOUR DUNCAN "ALLAN HOLDSWORTH" MODEL, IT IS RICH WITH SUSTAIN BUT VERY CLEAN FROM STRING TO STRING. GOOD LUCK

        Get EMG’s man, these pickups rock. I play in a metal band and use them exclusively.You could get two EMG 81’s (like Kerry King) or to really beef up your tone get an EMG-81 for the bridge position and an EMG-85 for the neck position. Trust me once you play with these pickups anything else sounds whimpy.

        Go with some DiMarzio’s or some Seymour Duncan’s. I prefer Duncans. The Jeff Beck model is good, also known as the TB4, which comes stock on high end Jacksons ( $800.00 +) Duncan SH-6 are pretty high end as well. Maybe the Lynch ‘Screamin’ Demon". Oh, dont forget about EMG 81’s. Possibly the heaviest pickup out there, but you need a 9 volt battery installed to give it the juice. Give a look at these pickups, you might find what your looking for.

          I have a Jackson SL-3, with a TB4 in the bridge and 2 Hot Rails in the neck and middle. I want to change my neck pickup, can u recommend me a good one (single coil) like for shredding, i know that hotrails are called shredder pickups but is there any out there? or should i just stay on my hotrail?. and I bought my Jackson SL-3 for 700, is that worth it?

      Thanks so much for the fast reply! I kinda thought those screws would fix it. I was a lil skeerd ta mess with ’em though. the saddle set screw is nearly toching the first string and I’m sure it’ll break the string. I couldn’t see any adjustments for it either. Thanks again!

      O.K . I’ll get a sample out on my friends website. But what about you? I really want to hear just how a "god" plays. As far as playing in a bedroom, nah, I get out sometimes. Playing in a band prevents me from being a hermit. So, tell us more about this playing with your feet. Can you play with other parts of you body too? Why don’t you tell us mortals what kind of omnipotent gear you own? Oh, and why am I getting the feeling you are ALL talk? Like I said in the previous post, why don’t you just show your abilities instead of boasting all the time?

Quite sad really. ps, you might be a good technique bloke, but if you dont have any humor in your playing, then, you have lost the plot. pps, admit it, you like my posts, it gives you something to get up in the afternoon for. love Bob

        Open up that back plate. You should see at least 3 springs attached to a spring "claw". The claw has two screws(wood type). Tighten these two screws to let string tension overtake, loosen to allow the springs to overtake. In your case you will want to tighten the screws, by the way, you want your trem to sit nice and level. Does the trem sit in a body cavity or not?

          I just read my post. The part about tightening and loosening were backwards. (?) O.K, If you loosen the screws at the claw, your allowing the strings to pull the trem towards the neck, if you tighten the screws at the claw, you will overtake the string tension and thus pull the trem toward the body of the guitar. So, its all in these screws. Also, different tunings will affect the position of the tremolo.

        Yea, I play and do consider myself a "Shred" type guitarist, although I hate the term.Its demeaning. Its like you can shred, O.K but can you play with feeling? As far as equipment goes, I have what I need for now… Jackson DXMG ……. just got it, neede another back up Ibanez 540 Saber Custom….. sweet n’ skinny super thin neck Charvel (model 3 I think)…finished project. Late 80’s mod 50 per channel Rocktron Power Amp BBE Sonic Maximizer 862 Alesis MEQ 30 Rocktron Chameleon Rack Rider Power Strip, all of which is mounted in an SKB 8 space. Sound travels through 1 4×12 Ampeg cab with Celestions rated at 300 wts. Oh yea, other typical stuff would be a Shure SM-57 mic , Tascam 4 track and bunches of tools and Allen wrenches. BTW: Guiter9 rules. My favorite new website, I just found out about it last week.

Should I get a righty guitar and suck it up or get a lefty guitar?

        it would be a lot easier right handed. that way you’ll be using your stronger and more agile hand for fretting. the equipments cheaper and you get more choice. you don’t have to convert chord boxes either. it won’t make it any more difficult for you playing a right hander. whatever you decide to play, good luck. xxxxxxxxxxxx

        I had an original Supergroup 100w head back in the early 70’s and it honestly blew away any Marshall. It had a thicker tone when set like a Marshall, but tweak the treble and it sounds the same, with a TON of grunt.During the mid to late 70’s they went through some quality control problems, (the Laney/Klipp era) but they’ve got it totally back on track these days. They must be the most amazingly under rated amps on the market, especially in the states. The new ones are incredibly good! Don’t pass up the deals right now on used ones, they go cheap, and they are fantastic value. They do everything a Marshall can do, and much more. Mick

Sunn’s sound sound a lot like aLaney but there cheaper and solid state.

        They’re good amps. Company started in mid-60s. Their non-master-volume amps up to about ’73 are excellent: sound a bit like Marshalls of that era. Company went downhill for a while, but they’re back making all valve beasties now. Check out the VC-30 or the LC-30 (Vox like 2×12" combo). Their stacks are pretty good too. Tony Iommi uses one (a signature model). Look at their website (Laneyamps.com or something) and then check out the reviews of the models you’re interested in on Harmony Central.

        I have always loved Fender amps, and Marshall as well as some others. However, I bought a Laney amp this year and I am not disapointed at all! I play blues, but my son is into alternative rock, and we can both set the amp to get the tones and flavor we like. The model I bought has 2 12s and 100 watts with a built in effects channel plus a tube over drive circut that really kicks butt ! If you haven’t checked these babies out, you owe it to yourself to do so. My Marshall combo is collecting dust these days, and will likely serve as a stand or a cabinet if I keep using the Laney — it sounds that good.

                I did not write the previous post.. OOPS… This is my rely to the Mike Varney issue… Yes the name means alot to me, he was a good friend of mine in the 1980’s and I lost contact with him when I did alot of moving, and I sure would love to find again. I miss our long talks, and I have always wondered how he is doing, and how his wife Carol is as well. So if you read this Mike, it is Desiree in Houston, please find me at the above e-mail, or if you just know Mike, and you read this, pass my message and my e-mail address too, please!!! It has been too long, and I have so many great things to share with him.. Thanks, Desiree

          Yea, Greg Howe can play pretty well. I have that album "High Gear". Just thinking about those "old" days, I remember Fender STRAT’s. They didn’t last too long did they….(production wise) they just kinda died out. I think Yngwie Malmsteen was one of Mikes first "discovery’s". A band I really like from Shrapnel, and miss hearing is…. Apocrypha. Finally, a decent guitar conversation!

      Hi everyone, I am hoping to buy my husband an acoustic guitar for Christmas as it’s something I know he would love to play, but he hasn’t gotten around to buying one. He’s an acoustic guitar novice, but has played bass guitar (musicman)for a number of years so isn’t a total guitar novice. What would recommend for him ?. I have been told a Fender DG4 would be good, but I don’t want something he would "grow out of" too quickly – do you think this wouls be likely ?. I thought I’d ask you guys as a friend recommended this site to me. Thanks in advance ! L x

        I have just re-started my hobby of playing the guitar again. I’m 45 – did a lot of research and without any hesitation what-so-ever the Taylor Big Baby is incredible. I just bought one today for around $350.00 and I had an incredible guitarist friend of mine help me with my decision. I played the Big Baby first to see if I liked the "feel" and sound of the guitar. It is an extremely light guitar since the sides and back are made of veneer but the sound, especially the bass is the equivalent of the sound (if not better) than a guitar 3 times the price I paid. My guitar friend was totally impressed with the Taylor Big Baby also and he said there is no way that this guitar should be so priced so low. Heck, he loved the sound so much that he bought one himself and he has high priced Martins. He made the Big Baby do things that only a pro could do and he said that this was by far the best sounding guitar in anything near that price range. I love it … my fingers are sore since I just can’t put it down. The bass is great, chords are great – an incredible product.

        Mick had a lot of good info for you…..but I will disagree that the Fenders are all crap…..my 1st was a nice solid top fender that only cost $200 but that was over ten years ago…….and I still play it regularly and is my camping/travel guitar…and I still love it even though Ive acquired many nice ones since then….the smartest thing you could do is to take a player with you to get a better perspective….and by all means if you can find a Taylor dealer, check out the "big baby" Taylor….like Mick said…..its the best bang for the buck….well made….sturdy…..not flashy…but great action…..and you want something easy to learn on….and if he really gets into playing he can always get anothter down the road…but he will always have a great backup/travel/camping guitar….just remember all guitars that look alike dont feel the same….you need a friend to play it and compare….good luck

        Fender aren’t famous for their acoustic guitars and to be quite honest they are poor by any standard. You need to look for a guitar with a ‘solid top’ at least. An all laminated guitar will sound …crap. Laminated sides and back are okay. Just make sure you get that SOLID top. As your husband isn’t a total guitar novice don’t waste 100 pounds ( are you in the UK ? ) when spending a little more will be worth it’s weight in gold. Look at Washburns in the 150 – 200 pound range if you’re looking for something with that little extra. They are very well made , sound great and are easy to play. If you REALLY want to make him happy, buy him a Taylor Big Baby for around 300 pounds. I guarantee he’ll love it as it IS the best budget acoustic guitar on the market. He won’t need another acoustic ever again if you buy that one. Good luck.

          Thanks for the reply. Unforunately the Big Baby is out of my price range – I was thinking more about £150ish !. Having looked into this more it seems that the Washburn D10 sounds like a pretty good buy. I’ve got a couple of good shop recommendations to try out in London – now all I’ve got to do is bribe my friend with beers to come and play some guitars in my price range and see how they feel/sound !!. Thanks ! L x

          You didn’t say what kind of guitar, or how you filed the frets, etc. How low is your action set at the 12th fret? What gauge of strings are you using? What tuning are you using? (standard or dropped?) All these things affect string buzz. If you used a flat file on your frets you can expect a lot more buzzing (especially if the neck relief is too little and you’ve eliminated the crown of the frets). You should also be aware that sometimes neck adjsutments require a short set period. You’re dealing with wood and a metal rod when you make adjustments, which is why you need to do them gradually. If your neck is too straight (without any relief) you’ll have to set the action higher to eliminate buzzing. Check out my guitar tips at: http://members.home.net/wilkatguitars/ for some further advice. Good Luck, Bill

        I’ve played Carvin gear for 20 years , and have also owned lots of classic stuff. I would rate their Guitars as good as any fender or gibson I have played. they have real nice necks, have first rate build quality, and are certainly a deal price wise, especially if you get some of the nicer options like flamed or quilted tops. They sound real good too, and if you want to change the sound you can always add after market pickups. They will let you return the guitar after 10 days if you don’t like, but believe me you won’t return it.

The guitar I received had a backbowed neck that was so bad it couldn’t be adjusted. The frets looked like they were half filed down with a coarse file and had sharp burrs.The pickups also sucked. I drove back to the factory to return it. When I tried to show them the defect, they ignored me and wrote on the return receipt the "Customer didn’t like guitar",without mention that the guitar was defective. I feel sorry for the next sucker they shipped this guitar to. Don’t waste your money,go to a discounter or musician’s friend and buy a good guitar like a fender or gibson,etc.Hope this keeps you from making a mistake with a Carvin.

        Active electronics are pickups that require a battery to operate, and to provide a boost in sound/signal. EMG pickups (higher end models) are active. Look into the EMG 81. Regular pickups(no battery) are refered to as "Passive".

        : What does a reverse headstock do? Actually if you are using a floyd rose the balance is better because the larger string is the farthest from the bridge and the smallest the closest. Thus the tension is more balanced.

        very little it mainly makes you guitar look a bit more gnarly. the only real change is the upper strings have less "bendable" string ie. behind the nut on the headstock compared to say a fender. but it willl realy make very little difference to they way the guitar plays

      Anybody built a pedal board with loads of different pedals? The only idea I got is to stick the pedals to the board using velcro ‘glued’ on with a florist’s hot glue gun so’s I can get them off again. Anybody got any wisdom to share? Cheers, trog

        Hey man, I’ve built several pedalboards in my life. My most recent one is probably the most complex. As you noted, I have gone the velcro route–only I don’t actually use the female velcro half on the board itself. I have the surface of the board covered in a flat carpet, to which the male velcro sticks really well. I typically fasten the velcro to my pedals by unscrewing the back and inserting the strip just under the back–this keeps glue off the pedal when and if I decide to ditch it on eBay. I currently 11 pedals on my board. I’ve built it at an angle for easier access. the front row of effects are just an inch off the ground. There is a second, elevated row that rises just above the profile of the first row of effects. I also built a makeshift rack underneath the board where I’ve screwed in my Chandler Digital Echo (pain in the ass unit only comes in rackmount format). I wire all the pedals w/ George L’s effect kit wire and power most of the effects w/ Voodoo Labs Pedal Power (smaller than a strip, no wall warts, and it’s quiet as a church).

          Wow – that’s some set-up … 11 pedaly sounds about 4 more than my 7 – you must be dancing around like Riverdance sometimes :o) One day, someday, I’ll be advanced enough to find out more about George L’s effect kit wire, but at the moment my valves have gone strange and need replacing, so I’ll make do with what I got … as long as I play good enuff no one notices the hiss and squelch … think I’m gonna seek out a tape delay for that warm bounce … but first I’ll nail all that velcro to my board (I stuck the female (fluffy) on the pedals already and can’t be arsed going back right now) … thanks for the reply man — CU Trog

        this is a tough one, OK, the facts… 1. the white stripes kick ass 2. the strokes kick ass 3. choosing between the two is like saying "which is better, oxygen or air???" they are both alike and they both wail. 4. Jack White is hot, so is Julian Cassablancas, so you can’t even be superficial about the issue. so you see, it is a losing debate, both bands rock and choosing the best is impossible. ;)brooke

        In response to Hazardous Dave, just because the Strokes and The Stripes are stripped down doesn’t make them any less ligitimate than the ‘better’ bands you named. Particularly as some of those you named, i.e Iggy and the Stooges and The Kinks, are very stripped down (and exceptional) bands themselves. Both the Strokes and The White Stripes are superb bands, and both, particularly The White Stripes, are emotionally deep. And my word can Jack White play a slide guitar. Oh and Queens of the Stone Age. Ha ha

        Fender amps are great — there are lots of possibilities. My son owns a Fender Deluxe 90 which I just wired to power a 4 x 10 Marshall cabinet, and it sounds amazing. This is a transistor amp but has lots of power and fits nicely on top of the cabinet. The distortion is excellent, although you can vary it with a good fuzz box. The Danelectro is great, as is the Corrosion pedal from DOD. This amp also has Fender’s superb spring reverb. While tube amps are still warmer overall, today’s transistor amps have come a long way, and are very reliable. A tube overdrive channel or pedal is also a good way to go. Tube amps are heavier to carry and the tubes need regular replacement — so you might want to check out some of the great transistor amps now available. Have you heard the killer sound of Laney amps with tube overdrive channel? They’ll blow you away!

I’m not suprised it has a better value because everything they make does. I’m sure that carvin is as good as Ampeg, if not better. Hey, if Carvin is good enough for Steve Vai, it’s good enough for me.

        Ample reverb, some delay(about 2 or 3 repeats) maybe add some chorus if you like. Don’t saturate the distortion too much, or you will get this ugly hissing, sizzling sound. Well, not of course if you like this sort of sound. If you have a nice distortion/ clean sound, just try out differnt settings on the above Reverb,Delay, Chorus.

        Well, you do get what you pay for. Think of it like this……… Body woods. Some produce more tone and resonance. Some are made up of 3 or more pieces of wood, glued together. One piece bodies are better, exept for neck throughs. Cheap drift wood is simply cheap. Necks.Probably the most important part. Neck throughs will cost more , but will have more comfort( at the neck joint) more tone, more natural sustain. Bolt on’s are ok too. Just remember that quality wood and fretwork cost money. Do you want a cheap neck with the frets stabbing your hand when you move up and down? Or do you want a "smooth" feel all around? Size also counts. Cheap guitars have small frets, which are harder to bend. Hardware. Original Floyds are awesome, some imitations truely suck. Again quality. Your choice, do you want to stay in tune or not? German made Schaller’s are very well made. Pickups. Some sound cool, some don’t. Some sound "heavy", while some just hum and buzz. All in all, don’t get me wrong. You don’t have to go broke buying a guitar. Just never compromise. Make sure you know what you want.Learn more about various woods and tone , including parts. Then you will be able to make an educated purchase. On a final note, some guitars cost a little more because they are made in USA. The same company may offer a similar product thats made in India or Mexico. The quality is still close if not the same, but think about it. The big guitar company’s send there products to be made in "Sweat Shops" so THEY can save money!

The hand made series use better hardware, pick-ups, and better wood for better tone. Most of the US BC Rich’s are neck throughs that have great sustain and play like a dream. Don’t confuse the HAND CRAFTED MADE IN THE USA and the off shore pieces. For more info check out bcrich.com and edromanguitars.com(this site tells alot about B.C.Rich and other fine guitars. I own a US made B.C. Rich, woundn’t trade it for anything and plan on buying another.

      i broke a .009 E so and didn’t have anything else but an .011. so i tuned it up to a E. I liked the sound of the bigger string but it is really hard to bend. i was wondering if there are any strings that will give a fatter sound while still being able to be bent easily. i use super slinky. thanks

        Try 10 to 46 Dean Markleys. Also, don’t forget, you can still tune down a 1/2 step or more. This will aid in string bending(they won’t feel as tight) and produce a "warmer,darker" tone. Plus you will have increased resonance of the heavier strings. Simply put, the best of both worlds.

      What are the major reasons/differences an acoustic guitar player would choose a 6-string over a 12-string, or vice versa?

      • #86041
        Anonymous
        Guest

        The main reason of course is because of the sound. I use both a 6 and 12 in solo performances (one on Nov 19*, as a matter of fact) and in my 11 or 12 song set, I will use the 12 string on 4 or 5. The songs that I do on the 12 just do not sound right on the 6; the songs on the 6 won’t work on the 12 because of hammers, bends, slides, bar chords, etc. that are very difficult if not impossible on the 12! *If you’re in the Richmond VA area on Nov 19, come on by the Rare Olde Times on Patterson Ave about 9 pm!

        Ill have to disagree with Aaron about getting a cheap 12 string…..I personally love the 12 and contrary to popular opinion they are awesome for playing lead(if you have a good one)…….if you use mainly 1st position chords they are a real treat to play but if you play a lot of bar chords even the good ones will be a little tiresome

        12 strings sound like 2 guitars. they usually arent very loud but sound beautiful.a 12 string is basically a 6 string with the e,a,and d strings tuned up an octave. i personally like 6 strings but use a 12 string as a back up.i would reccomend spending alot on a 6 string and find a cheap 12. ovation makes a nice sounding 12 for a reasonable price but their 6 strings arent very good.: What are the major reasons/differences an acoustic guitar player would choose a 6-string over a 12-string, or vice versa?

      Should I buy 0.10 or 0.09 strings? It’s a problem for me because I’m afraid of bending with 0.10 strings. Is this a problem or not with this cauge?

        the tighter[lower number]the guage, the easier it will be to bend.. so .09s would be best if you really wanna go crazy. they are a lot tighter tho, so they are suceptible to breaking easier. so you might wanna go with 0.10s instead. 🙂 VIC

          go for 10-52 they got loads of grunt, but youve just got to work your fingers a bit more for big bends 10’s sound warmer and sustain better than 9’s. but if your realy uncomforatble with 10’s, then go for what feels right ay

      i have a fender p bass, and i recently bought a leo quan badass bridge for my babe and it sounds a lot more thicker, but the problem is, the strings are WAYYYYYYYY too high….. i tried adjusting the neck, but it’s still too high… is there anyway to fix that???

        I just got a BA-I too and think I’ve got a more elegant solution than shimming the neck pocket. Seems to me that since the BA-I is designed to have string slots machined to fit the bass and strings to be retrofitted that it should be a simple matter of making these slots deep enough to compensate for the height difference, compared to a Fender stock bridge (or BA-II). I measure 3/16". What have I missed, Bill?

        Did you remove the sub-plate that comes with this bridge? That will lower it quite a bit. If you didn’t get one with it and it’s still too high, then there are basically two options: 1. Shim the neck–you cna use a full pocket shim and have it tapered in the direction you need–usually this means tapered from the end of the pocket towards the bridge (i.e. thick to thin towards the body) 2. Have the pocket routed a little deeper to suit the height of the new bridge (I wouldn’t try this unless you have the right tools and know-how. Check out my web site at: http://members.home.net/wilkatguitars/ for tips on repair and maintenance. I will add an article soon on shimming necks as this is a common problem run into. In the interim you can read and follow the neck adjustment tip to see if that helps. Good luck, Bill

      Greetings all, My friends and I recently started a heavy metal band. The instrument I play is the triangle. I was wondering: Where can I find good triangle lessons? I don’t want to pay for a private tutor. What is the best make of triangle and what could I get for $3. I’m going to hook up my triangle to a distortion pedal, are there many GOOD triangle distortion pedals? What type of triangle do metallica use? P.S. Electric Xylophones KICK AXX! But I can’t afford one.

I got my triangle by taking it from an elementary school band room (breaking the law breaking the law!) so you could look there first……keep practicing and if you get a good dist-pedal for your triangle post in here somewhere as to where you got it so we can start a new wave of triangle-based heavy metal!!!!! p.s.- metallica probably uses a Fender triangle!

      In common with many other people, BO DIDDLEY and his family have been deeply upset by the terrorist attacks in New York, Washington DC and Pennsylvania on Tuesday September 11th 2001, and the subsequent crisis that has ensued both in America and around the world in the weeks since the attacks took place. In light of these tragedies, BO DIDDLEY has asked that his fans, radio deejays and other people working in the media should play and listen closely once more to the lyrics to a song that he recorded in 1989 titled "Wake Up America", a track that can be be found on his "Breakin’ Through The BS" CD released on Triple X Records 51017-2. In the past 20 years or so, BO DIDDLEY has recorded and released a number of songs that reflect not only his love of the American nation and and its people but also his great concerns for the country’s future stability and well-being. The songs "Ain’t It Good To Be Free" and "Gotta Be A Change" are both good examples of his impassioned vocal concerns for his nation and its people. Both of these tracks are currently available on the CD "The Mighty Bo Diddley" released on Triple X Records 51161-2. We hope that during this time of national crisis that BO DIDDLEY’s fans, together with the nation’s deejays and other people working in the media across America, will perhaps take the time to listen and to reacquaint themselves once again with the inspirational messages contained in some of these important, but perhaps lesser-played, songs that have been written and recorded by BO DIDDLEY.

        if you have a liscensed floyd rose trem, you dont have the real thing. liscensed means liscensed copy, which means inferior quality in comparison to the real deal. copys are always made with metal that is a good bit softer than the real thing. if you want the real this, it is called "original floyd rose", not "liscensed floyd rose" got the original, have it put in and you’ll the difference i guarantee:-) originals rock!!!!

        i have the same problem with my fender which is fitted with a licsenced floyd rose. the problem with the cheaper ones is that the knife edges gets worn much quicker, because of the softer and much cheaper material. it is really important, to never change string height, when the strings are on, as it will result in that the pivot studs cut into the metal. you can check if the screws or knife edges are worn. just take of all the strings and the springs on the back of the guitar, and carefully remove the tremolo. look at the knife edges where the tremoloplate meets the studs. if its worn, you can try to file on the edges, until it gets smooth. you should also replace the pivot studs with new ones. that should solve the problem, at least for a while. but remember to never change string height with the strings on!

      Guitar Armour is the worst idea I have ever heard of. Guitars are supposed to get stratched and batterd. It wears them in and gives each guitar its own personality/identification. So don’t waste your money on this crap idea. You would be much better off spending the money on the extremely cheap guitar strings also on this sight. DEATH TO GUITAR ARMOUR

        Bill, If you have big hands, you’ll have an advantage. At least in the opinion of Mr. Stubby Fingers here. I have short fingers and I have an easier time of it on short scale guitars with narrow necks. So you’re right that hand size, and finger length, are a factor. But if you watch the great guitarists who are really capable of getting a lot of music going with just two hands and one guitar (like Chuck Berry or Eric Clapton) you’ll notice that they have very long fingers. Choose your guitar to accomodate your hands and you’ll be fine. Be advised that even with big hands you’ll still have to "practice, practice, practice." Ask a knowledgeable sales person to show you guitars with longer scales (25" and up) and wider fretboards (measured at the nut starting about 1 and 7/8 inches and up). Rock on, and have some fun. : seriously. i heard that if you have big hands it be extremly hard to play gituar. is there any truth to this please e-mail me about it.

        No, big hands are not a disadvantage — in fact, for may it’s a big advantage (especially the guys with long fingers that can play chords that many of us can’t). In addition, there are many different neck styles and thicknesses, and widths to chose from these days. I build my guitars with a slightly wider neck than some manufacturers and the thickness and shape of the back of the neck can be flatter of rounder depending on what feels most comfortable to the player. A lot of fine guitar players are gifted with large hands, and they play all styles too — chek it out, and you’ll find this to be true. Please visit my web site at: http://members.home.net/wilkatguitars/ I post tips for setting up and repairing guitars, and will likely be adding playing tips, etc. in the future. For now, go out and check different makes and models of guitar, and go for it! I’m sure you’ll find something that feels good in your hands. If not, you can always get one built for you down the road. Good Luck, Bill

      I have recently bought a Jedson S.G. shape bass guitar from a second hand shop. I bought it because it was cheap and it has a good sound. Also I love that S.G. body shape. The guy at the shop told me that it was "1970’s", and that it was well made. I wonder if anyone can tell me more about Jedson guitars and basses and perhaps help me to date and value my bass more accurately. Thanks.

          I have owned several of these amps (and still have one). In general the 1982 Anniversary series does not command as high a price as the 1987 and later Anniversary series models because, although it has the distinctive color and ‘AS’ serial number info, there is nothing electronically distinctive. Not to say the amps are not in demand. In fact to the sharp Marshall person they are rare as all hell, and sound excellent. There is a 100 watt on ebay at this time, the seller has posted three times in a row with a reserve at $1999, but highest bid thus far is around $1000. Condition sounds ‘good’ with some nicks and scratches. This is a non channel switch unit. Therefore I would expect a 50 watter would be slightly less. : : I have a white 1982 20th anniversary series 4×12 half stack. I haven’t been able to get much info on this amp or its value.

        okay try this for starters. Kinda tricky at first. 1st)pluck a harmonic on your b (3rd up) string on the fourth fret. You kinda have to hit it almost between the 3rd and 4th frets to get it to sound. 2nd)pull up on the whammy and after this push it all the down, while you are almost all the way down put in some vibrato with the bar. The sound you are going for here is a horse whinny. practice.

        : How do I attach a guitar strap to my guitar??? from the sounds of things, it seems like you have one of those acoustics that doesnt have strap pegs/buttons on it. what you can do is.. take it to a guitar tech. my guitar tech shows up at the Guitar Center chainstore a few times a week. they are sometimes really good people and do the "chain store" thing as a part time gig to make some extra cash. but take your guitar to the guitar center… ask to see the guitar tech.. and tell him that youd like to attach strap pegs to your guitar. its a pretty simple and basic procedure. i had him drill one into my alvarez-yairi a few months back. and while it was painful to watch.. it was for the best. and he charged me like $10. he’ll probably just ask you to pay for a set of two strap pegs, which guitar center carries in its guitar parts/accessories section.. and those are really cheap. and then he’ll just charge you probably about $10 to drill them into your guitar. when you have those installed, it will be pretty elementary as to how you attach your guitar strap. hope this helps!

        Is that electric or acoustic? Most electrics have two small circular things like buttons, located at the very bottom of the guitar, and at the side by the top of the fretboard. You should be able to clip the strap to them. Most acoustics have these too.

      I recently purchased a Korg Toneworks AX1000g Multi-effects processor, and it’s great, except on the specifications it says the maximum number of simultaneous effects is 8, when I can only figure out how to get four. So if anyone can tell me how to get 8, or at least tell me why they can advertise 8 when I think it’s only 4, I would appreciate it greatly. Oh, and this one is probably pretty obvious, but I just want to clarify: When it says I can have 80 programs, it means the 40 presest plus 40 others that you can write over the prests with. So you could really only acess 40 effects at one time. Just makin sure I’m not missingsomething.

        There are loads of acoustic brands for sale these days- but don’t necessarily go for a good brand, get a solid guitar that you like. are you starting to play or have you been playing before? you can usually get something decent for about $100…

      Ok here’s the story. I’ve had this crappy acoustic guitar for 3 years and I’m still unable to play the damn thing (I’m 22 and my hands are smaller than a 6 year old’s, no joke). Being the impatient person that I am, I decided that I either want to get rid of the cheap peice of crap and then get some sort of foreign, exotic instrument that not too many people around here typically hear (that way no one knows I can’t play it, because they’re not sure how its supposed to sound, unlike a guitar!). OR… I was thinking about manipulating my crappy acoustic guitar somehow. Do something to it.. with the ol’ tool kit or something. What should I do? If I decide to play around and experiment with my guitar and making new sounds, do you know of any websites I could go to? For instance, what are the ‘physics’ of sound? How do I just ‘create’ a new instrument without ruining my guitar? If anyone has any ideas, thoughts, opinions.. or anything, please let me know! e-mail me at [email protected] I might not be able to find my way back to this discussion boards to check for reply’s.. thank you

      What could be wrong when i play an open string and mute it few seconds later, something still keeps ringing quite loud and for quite long until i palm mute all the strings (the sound doesnt stop when i try to mute each string individually). It’s like the string kept ringing even after the muting. What could be wrong? Pickups? Strings?

        Hmm.A tricky question.It sounds as though your left hand might be scraping the other strings.When muting the open string try rolling your palm onto the edge of your hand.It could be that you’re letting the other strings "go" prematurly. Are you using distortion? You could try turning down the dist. level.Too much dist. can produce unwanted harmonics and overtones. Also,where are you muting the strings?If your left hand is too close to the rythym pickup,you’ll get some harmonics.You might try muting closer to the bridge where the strings are tighter. Hope this helps

          If I’ve understood your problem properly then what it may very well be is the string behind the nut vibrating after the rest of the strings have been muted, often you’ll find guitarists with a small piece of foam over the strings behind the nut…I do this and wrap it around the headstock and with a little piece of duct tape, tape it to the head and this works great. This basically happens with all kinds of guitars even those with floyd roses and locking nuts…try it and see if it works…just use a lite weight foam, nothing too heavy or bulky.

            Hmm. Don’t think that’s the issue. The sound stops when i palm mute all the strings at the bridge and it occurs even if i keep the strings after the locking nut muted. I’m clueless 😮

        I think i can help. It depends on what program you use. If youre just using the standard Sound Recorder that comes with Windows, nothing i know can help. There is a program called Cool Edit Pro which has a feature that you can use to delete the sound by selecting the noise on the waveform, and hitting DELETE on your keyboard. You can probably download a newer version than I have, which would be a good thing. Hope it fixes your problem!!

          You have to be at least 36 inches away from the monitor dude. The pc monitor gives off electricity and your guitar pick-ups …well pick it up. Face away from the monitor and listen…the noise will dissipate. Try it.

        quite obviously the Washburn D10S – a solid spruce top (which means ages better than a Cedar top, so longer performance) I own a Martin D28, (one the best made acoustics) and I recently purchased a Washburn D10S, for a guitar to take to the beach, and to practice on, but this guitar has basicaly the same, if not better sound, easily the best guitar for under $500. I hope this helps you.

        Can’t go wrong with the Martin deal, but I recently bought an Alvarez RD20 (I think that’s the model, or maybe it was RS), which retails for $200 at MARS. Bought this one from a local guitar tech who set it up (he’s famous around here for his setups), put a Fishman Matrix pickup in it and supplied a hardshell case all for $450. It’s got a solid top, and plays and sounds comparable to a friend’s Taylor, and cost about $800 less. Check out some Alvarez’s, if the Martin’s more than your budget can handle.

        hm this isnt exactly "Under $500", but its a lil over.. and it seems like it would be a great buy. i found the ad on the harmony central classifieds. you might wanna consider it. i would get it for myself, but i am not looking for a guitar. im perfectly happy w/ my alvarez-yairi: Martin D-16GT Asking Price: US$595 Condition: Mint Age: 1 year Description: This guitar is an excellent high end guitar at a low end price.It has a solid spruce top with solid mahogany sides and back.The bridge and fretboard are striped ebony.It has a herringbone rosette.It has scalloped bracing on the top which give it a dynamite lively shimmering tone.I would call it a good guitar for country or bluegrass.The action is great. You say,then why are you selling it,unfortunately I have nerve damage in my left hand and can’t play anymore.This guitar has been played less than an hour since I bought it in March of 2000.It comes with a nice hardshell case.

        At least get a guitar with 21 frets to start out with. Although, 22 would be a better bet. Thirteen frets will totally suck when your trying to learn and play octaves. Here are some good,albeit cheap guitars. In other words, ones that you will have to "upgrade" later on, but will give you what you need now without going broke. Fender Stratocaster….. ( Mex or US made) Jackson…. ( one of the low budget/assembled in India) Ibanez….. just about any model will work By the Way…… Try to spend at least $400.00 on your guitar.( Mexican made Strats go for $350.00/ India made Jacksons go for about the same) Anything less than $350.00 WILL SUCK!! Unless you can get a good deal on something used. Also, try and buy from a music store nearby, that way if you need help with something, they’ll be there to fix/ adjust, whatever. Go mail order if you know someone who lives close if you need help. Ex. You might want to lower the action and may not know how. Some of this info might sound obvious, just keep it in consideration.

        hey dood 13 frets mite be a little short. if u are on a tight budget pick up a second hand strat-style guitar. these are good to learn on as you can get a diverse array of sounds from them. just check that the neck is straight, and that there is no realy shoddy patch up jobs

        Hey there, it doesnt matter what type of guitar you start out on or the amount of frets as all beginners start on chords any way which are done around the first few frets. Any guitar would do. Rather than just trying to play hard rock straight away i’d recommend learning the fundamentals first, such as chords (open and barre), scales. Once you have these and you have a good grasp, which shouldnt take too long, then you should be able to start on your chosen style. I hope ive been of some use. C’ya ….. Meister.

          Don’t listen to anyone telling you to spend at least "X" amount of money. There’s absolutely no truth in it. You can pick up a nice acoustic guitar that you’ll be able to take with you places and not worry about power for an amp, for far less than a hundred bucks. Such guitars are well made, and offer easy playability. They’ll assist you in the learning process too! If you must have an electric guitar than look at the Squiers by Fender. They are killer, and 1 out of 10 will be better than an American made Fender. I know, because I own one such Squier. It’s an Affinity Fat Strat purchased brand new for $129. Also, look at Raven guitars. They’re fantastic, and reasonbly priced and are copies of some very famous very expensive guitars. Check out Harmony Central’s website for reviews of all guitars.

            Also, consider some of the Strat copies that are very good. Such brands are Jay Turser, Johnson and few others. They also make Tele copies, Les Pauls etc. The Johnson Acoustics are first class. When you do start looking at guitars, try to take someone with you who knows a little about playing, and can explain what to look and feel for. Important considerations for a first learning guitar, are how the neck feels to you. If you have small hands, you may look for a thinner neck. Some styles of guitars have "faster" action. This will make it easier for you to learn how to play notes, and at the same time, make it easier for you to make mistakes. Faster actions also offer less fatigue which is very important to keep you enthusiatic about practicing. My best advice is: look at everything, overlook nothing, don’t be brand prejudiced! Just because something has a high price tag, doesn’t necessarily mean it’s better. Some guitars may have a very expensive and beautiful finish. Some may not be quite as pretty, but function and sound as good or better as the gorgeous one. Finally, remember a guitar is just a tool. Granted, some are better than others, some are better suited to some tasks than others, but in the final analysis, the guitar is only as good as the player.

        Hi Nobody can start learning hard rock straight away, it may look easy but you wouldn’t believe how hard it is to play some hard rock music. It’s much better if you get the basics down, yeah, on your 13 fret, and then start playing some simple tunes. This may take about a year, is important to get this really well. DON’T get an expensive electric, you may get fed up and end up selling it. Any guitar is good to learn on, if youre a beginner you shouldn’t be bothered that much about the sound just yet. it’s cool to talk about the different brands but don’t follow fashions. Hint: check out Tanglewood Guitars- superb value, amazing sound, from £140 new!

      I recently picked up a Rickenbacker 610 and the strings on it are pretty bad. Has anyone got one and if so what brand and gauge of strings do you recommend. I usually put 010-046 on my Gibsons and 009-042 on my Fenders.

        Carvin’s Legend (Vai model) can get some pretty cool tones. The low-mid response is really nice and the cabs come with Celestion Vintage 30s which are great speakers IMO. I once had a Carvin X100B and it was to muddy and mid-rangey like a Mesa Boogie Mark series. Never really got into Ampeg stuff. Seems every tone they could do was better on others, Fender, Mesa, etc… # D

        Hmm.Coventional wisdom sez if you’re right handed,you should pick with your right.This is cause you’ll need more control and agility when picking.Also,the right hand is stronger.But if the other way works for you,I guess that’s cool too. Good Luck

        : My friend told me if you write with your left : you play with your lift is this true? Generally if you’re right handed you pick with your right and fret with your left. However there’s no real hard and fast rule. I’m right handed but I hold a cricket bat left handed, it just feels more natural that way. I guess the same applies to the guitar. Play it whichever way it feels the most natural. Look at Jimi, he generally played left handed but he was known to just pick up other people’s instruments and just play ’em whichever way they were set up. For example the bass parts he played on Electric Lady Land were played on the bass player’s bass (right handed)

      what does a phaser do? What is a good delay/reverb?

      • #84784
        Anonymous
        Guest

        I’ll try to expain it.A phaser is a result of alternating voltages.This causes a delay in two simultanious sine waves.When the two are played together you’ll hear the swooshing sound.Choruses, flangers and phasers are all forms of delays. I like the Boss PS-2,EH Memory man,and Arion.The Boss DD3 is a good basic delay.

        You will actually have to hear them for yourself. I can’t think of any songs that use much phasing. Maybe someone can direct you to a website with samples. Some good quality pedals you could look into would be…. Digitech/ DOD ZOOM Boss Ibanez pedals Try listening to "Lets go Crazy" by Prince. If I remember correctly he uses a phaser at the intro to the song ( a small solo) Yeah, he can play pretty well! Also Iron Maiden uses some phase on "Number of the Beast" during the first verse. Think of a phaser as more of a "whooshing sound", similar to a Flanger.

        Technically, yes. All electric guitars can have whammy’s. However, you must have a tremolo bridge. If you have a fixed bridge it’s impossible.

        I have a Fender Hotrod Deluxe 40w that’s a 1 x 12" and I gig professionally with it often. I changed the speaker to a celestion vintage 30 and put in better preamp tubes (Philips and Tesla) so I get wonderful overdriven tones now as well as great clean sounds. It’s also bloody loud. If the deluxe is this good then the 60w 2 x 12" Hotrod Deville should be worth checking out. They aren’t that expensive compared to many tube amps and with the improvements I mentioned they kick ass. They are well built too.

            Hmm.To be honest,I was never really a "MARSHALL MAN". They’re good for crunch but not so versitle.They tend to be too bright,not enough warmth.But I used a JCM 900 with a Boss OD-3 in an open jam…MURDER!The 70’s amps tend to be a little more beefy.So for "CRUNCH TIME" I think it’ll be a good investment.

        since your budget conscious, try Laney. A Laney AOR Pro Tube Lead 100 into a 2×12 sealed cab is pretty much a one trick pony like a JCM800 but with more gain than the JCM800. the new VC and VH amps by Laney sound incredible but are probably out of your price range also. only thing is Laney uses PCB input jacks which don’t fair well for a ton of stage use. if not, try a Sovtek Mig 100 and use a good distortion unit for more gain. either way, both are loud, cheap and can sound pretty good. # Daryl

        hey man if you want to keep up with your other guitar player, and pass him get a dual rectifier 2×12 by mesa boogie. mesa makes one of the greatest amps ever. the clean sounds are ok, just add a stomp box effect or two and you are there. the dirty channel will blow that little marshall out of the water.

      Howdy, I have a ZOOM 9000 Advanced guitar effects processor which I bought back in 93 (great little unit by the way). Unfortunately someone stepped on it and smashed the LCD display. The unit still works but it is a bit too challengeing to program all the modes with no visual display (forget about using the tuning function, no can do). I thought it would be relatively easy to get a new LCD display for it but the Australian suppliers tell me there are no stocks here or in Japan (must be one sitting on a shelf somewhere hey ?). If I can get a replacement I know someone who can install it for me. Does anyone know of someone with a ZOOM 9000 with a bad electronics board (or even a good one they don’t want ? – obviosuly prepared to pay). I could use the display. The unit retailed for around $ 500.00 Australian so I could get one cheaper maybe. I haven’t seen any advertised as they may have been a popular unit.

          I am a guitar PLAYER not a collector, and i prefer the japanese guitars of the 70s the most superior instruments ever made for playability. I think the el-cheapo guitars made in India and Korea are far better than the name brand American and mexican guitars, and the price is right, The only difference i find is that the finishes suck on some of the indain guitars, so what? again, i play them not display them. My Hondo les paul made in the 70s is far more playable than any gibson i ahve ever played, and the pickups are smooth. My LOTUS strat has a better neck than most of the fenders I ahve had, and the neck stays univorm, Fender necks always seemed to me to need constant adjustment, they changed too much.

          I agree with the above post except for one brand: Jay Turser guitars, in my opinion as a luthier and repairman, mostly don’t measure up. It’s true that they are often visually gorgeous, but I have YET to pick one up that had a decent fret-job on it. I find an excess of buzzes and fret-outs, and I don’t care if the guitar is made of solid gold; if the frets are bad the guitar is a dud until you spend big bucks for a re-fret. Admittedly, this isn’t limited to a Korean brand—I’ve worked on at least a dozen high-end Paul Reed Smith "beauties" that had HORRIBLE frets! In general, the High-end Samicks are excellent all around. I got my hands on a ’98 Samick Charlie Christian Model once—and that baby gave a Gibson L-5 a REAL run for the money.

            BTW—Epiphone, as well as the mid-level IBZs are made by SAMICK, NOT Cort. I’ve been both an Epi and Samick dealer and have spoken many times with reps of both companies.

        the pro series is ment for more of a jazz type of sound. unless thats your sound then i would go with the classic series. you can get an svt-350h classic head from musiciansfriend.com for $679.99. and unless your a jazz musician stick with the classic series cabs.

      How about a little background info first. I purchased an electric Washburn about a year ago from a friend’s brother. It only costed me 75$ and isn’t that bad of a guitar. It has a "cobalt blue" finish that looks more like purple. A week ago a friend and I started stripping it of that purple color. Because of the lack of tools available to us, we used screwdrivers to chip it off. It worked very well, but my friend every now and then made a big nick in the clear finish under the purple. I’ve left the clear finish on, but should i take it off? What are the best ways to take it off? Also, If I am supposed to take the clear finish off, what tools should i use? Afterwards, what kind of finishes should I use? I realize im pretty ignorant about this but some info would be awesome. Thanks, Patrick

      Hi there, can anybody tell me, if there is such a big difference between these two (except from the price) and in case I would find the epihone, which changes will be necessary in order to get the same sound. Thank you very much in advance. Anette

        The two guitars are pretty similar,with similar sound. Anyway, you could change the pickups of the Epiphone with the ones of a Gibson in order to get the ultimate sound of the Gibson. Cheers.

          I’ve owned both of them, and the Epiphone will rival any vintage 295 that i’ve seen or played. I had a 1954 ES-295 a number of years ago and loved the guitar. Too bad that the theves did also. Anyway, the two guitars are very similar,with similar sound. The Gibson’s top is fully arched, and the Epiphone’s top is only arched in the lower half of the body. Also, the Gibson top is cut out to accommodate the two P-90’s, which effects the acoustic characteristics of the guitar. The Epiphone on the other hand has the pick-ups mounted on a small riser that’s glued to the top, giving far greater acoustic resonance. This baby unplugged, is as loud as most acoustic guitars ! As for playability and workmanship, my Epiphone is as good as any Gibson that i’ve ever owned. Flawless seams, binding to body & paint is superior to a lot of Gibson’s that i’m seeing these days. They’re made the way that Gibson’s used to be made. The neck is as good as any ES-175 that i’ve ever played, and i’ve played a bunch of them over 35 years. Sound & tone, again as good as anything that Gibson has going. Sure you could put Gibson P-90’s in it, but I havn’t seen the need to yet, but if that rears it’s head, i’ll swap ’em out. Just remember that Gibson has owned Epiphone since 1957, so the components have to be very similar, if not outright Gibson issue. I ignored the Epi’s for a long time, thought they were a #2 guitar, well not anymore ! My ES-295 is as good as any vintage guitar, at a fraction of the price. There will always be the turkey that will show up from time to time, from every guitar manufacturer, that somebody gets stuck with. I just think that Epiphone seems to be taking greater pride in their workmanship than their big brother Gibson is doing, making a product that we all can afford, and in a few years, we’ll have a collectable. I hope that you have much enjoyment playing your new ES-295 as i’m having. God Bless, Lindsay

      I need an effect but don’t know the name for it, it could be just heavy distortion, anyway, i’ll give some examples of the effect i’m trying to get: First guitar sound in Papa Roach – Last Resort. First sound in Limp Bizkit – Break Stuff. First Guitar sound in Alien Antfarm – Smooth Criminal. I hope that is enough to demonstrate the kind of effect I need, (perhaps those three are different from each other.?..). Could you please tell me the name of that effect, and what to buy to achieve it (which pedal or whatever). Thanks

Try copying what you are hearing or else try making something up that you think fits. You’ll be surprised what you can do and learn when you get the hang of it.

        Mexican Strats are made of Poplar, while Americans are made of either Alder or Ash (lighter than poplar). Because of this, they have a bit more resonance, on average, than the mex strats/teles do. It’s my understanding that the pickups are better on the American versions also, however to figure that out you’d have to play both of them, right after the other, through the same amp on the same settings on the same day… truth is I’m not sure of the pickups. This year, they also redesigned the American Strats. The neck is contoured a bit differently, the headstock only restrains the E string instead of both the B and E.

          I’ve owned a Mexican Strat since they first came out (in about 1993). It is definately my main guitar. I like the sound and feel of it just as much as an American Strat; for me the extra cost isn’t justified. My advice is to try them both out on the exact amp they will be played through, and buy the one that sounds best and feels best for you. Or, you can buy the Mexican sunburst with a blonde neck and be perfectly happy.

      I need to know a lot more about the major scale. For example, ‘A major’ (i’m assuming the scale takes letters): is the first note played an ‘A’, and the rest are in the relative positions? For example, for ‘A major’, do I find any ‘A’ on the sixth string and play that then 2 frets down, then fifth string …. etc according to the shape?

        Hey there, as far as the major scale goes i will try and give you an easy understanding of ther scale but if you wish to know more please mail me. The major scale is a collection of notes starting on the root and ending on the Octave. For instance like you said A major, you would play the scale starting on A and end on A the next octave up. I dont know fully what you would like to know but im just trying to help. The first note of the scale is the root as ive mentioned. Im gonna use the key of C to make this easier. Each scale has a key of its own. The key tell you which notes are to be sharpened of flattened. The kay of C has no sharps or flats there for the scale of C major is C D E F G A B (C) the second C is known as the octave and from that point the scale just repeates itself. Just to let you know the key of A has 3 sharps, F C G.

        hey, I know how u feel. I was there. what u need is 2 find songs, or write songs that use the chords u know, and get a drum rythm. wheather it’s a drummer or a rythm on a keyboard it will help keep the tempo. go faster, slower. what works for me really good is to play in an unformal band. I have played rythm guitar in my youth group for about 6 months, (now I’m 14) and now I can play lead when billy isn’t there (our lead guitarist) w/out a problem. it’s because i am playing in front of my peers, and there’s pressure there.

      The B-string of my telecaster B-bender doesn’t stay in tune, after using the bender.I use DÁddario super light strings(.0095-.044).I’ve oiled the bender equipment and put some graphity powder on the rotatingparts, but no results.Does anybody know, what I can do about it???

        First thing I’d do is try using bigger strings. On my Strat, I can divebomb and still be completely in. I use 11-50.

          I have a 97 Parsons/Green Fender Tele. I use Rotosound Yellows 10-46. Stays in tune great and I never break strings either. I’ve been known to bend all the stings from top to bottom, from top to bottom!!! No Sweat!

      Are the 0.10 strings better then 0.09 comparing it to the sound?

        The difference is more in how it feels because the string has to be tighter to be tuned up to E. The heavier the string the more metal there is for the pickup to sense so you get a bigger sound but you probably wouldn’t notice much difference between a .09 and a .10. Jimi Hendrix thought it was important to use thicker strings (.11s I think) and Stevie Ray Vaughn was famous for using .12 and .13 and still bending so much he broke them. Mind you, he had to superglue his fingernails back on sometimes and he used to superglue his fingertips to his arm and pull off the skin to try to protect his fingertips. Tony Iommi and James Burton use.08s.

        Often they are cheap because they’re crap. Sometimes you might be lucky (if a Yamaha Pacifica is included it might be worth it). You probably would do better to find something secondhand. You can get some great deals if you keep your eyes open. This is especially true for amps. The ones that come in ‘packages’ usually aren’t very inspiring. There’s no point in getting a ‘deal’ if it puts you off playing.

      Dear anybody. I am curious about the shape of guitar body, especially the accoustic one : why does guitar have shape like torso ? Why not just round shape like mandolin or banjo ? Is there any relationship between shape and the sound produced ? Any explanation will be appreciated. Thanks.

        especially the accoustic one : why does guitar have shape like torso ? Hi, I’ll try to answer your questions. The guitar traces back a long way, but the earliest record of having the waisted (torso) shape is around 1170 BCE – it’s not exactly a guitar, it’s a Hittite lute. The picture that I saw looked a lot like a Baroque guitar. The guitarra latina, which arose from around 300 BCE to 1200, also adopted this waisted shape. From the guitarra latina came the 4 course (or 8 stringed) guitar, and then the Baroque guitar (5 course or 10 stringed) and then the 6 course guitar, which became the 6 string guitar. From the guitarra latina onward the waisted shape was prevalent. > Why not just round shape like mandolin or banjo ? There were instruments related to the guitar which had an oval shape, like the lute and the ud (or oud). The guitarra moresca, which came about the same time as the guitarra latina, had more of an oval shape and was believed to be influenced by the ud (which came from the Moors). Is there any relationship between shape and the sound produced ? Any explanation will be appreciated. That is a good question and I can find out for you, possibly. I can tell you that the earliest lutes/guitars had soundboards that were either wood or in the case of the lyre stretched skin like a drum. What did make a difference was string length, thickness and tension – also the thinness of the soundboard allowed for more vibrations and a greater volume (the soundboard is the top of the guitar). On a modern guitar, the soundboard is the piece of wood that contains the soundhole and the bridge is attached to it. hope this helps. PK

        This is just a guess but it might be ergonomic, that is, it’s because you get a large size box to make the sound and you can still sit it on your knee. Otherwise maybe it’s because men designed them and we like curvy things ‘cuz we’re all pervies. I dunno…

A Whammy bar is in fact a floating bridge. U attach the strings to the bridge and the bridge can sort of rotate backward and forward, by pulling the whammy-bar.

        Guest

        I guess it depends on what you consider a "furtune", but the problem with travel guitars is that they involve almost the same amount of works as regular ones to build. I made one (for my own use), although it is a solid body electric with a single pick up, and when I did the costing on it, I was shocked to learn that it did not cost much less that a regular axe. I don’t offer them on my web site as most players are more interested in full size regular axes. If anybody is interested, I would certainly work out a price for them (but I don’t see doing one for any less than about $500.oo Canadian).

      what is the differnce between a mex. fender vrs. an american fender?

      • #84378
        Anonymous
        Guest

        OK, good question. First, Mexican Fenders are made in Ensenada, Mexico. The wood, hardware, and general manufacturing quality is not as good. They don’t have Dimarzio’s in them, they have Fender standard pickups, either single coil or humbucking (depending on the model), and they don’t all have Floyd Licensed bridges, most of them have the Fender Standard bridge. They aren’t nearly as pricey as the USA’s. They aren’t bad though, they are great for a starter electric, but I wouldn’t stick with one as my playing progressed. Oh, and the tone and tuning stability isn’t that great either. The Americans are, by far, the best. They are made in Corona, California using high quality wood, hardware and manufacturing processes. They come stock with the Fender Delta-Tone pickups (which are absolutely awesome) and the tone is incredible. They are more expensive because of the quality that goes into them. I’ve got two American Standard Strats and I wouldn’t play anything else, except maybe an American Standard Tele. Anyway, that’s the main difference between the two. The Mexi’s aren’t bad, but the USA’s are the best.

I have no money to spare for lessons, and some of my friends told me that I wouldn’t need lessons to just practice. One particular friend said to learn scales instead of just tablature, but (being dense as far as music goes) I don’t really know what that means… I really want to learn to play right. I am dedicated, I’ve learned fingerstyle on my acoustic pretty decently, but I want to understand music too.

        Carlos Santana once said that birds don’t read music and they’re good musicians. Lots of good guitarists (like Carlos) don’t. They feel what sounds right. Learning theory and scales and things is really useful but you don’t HAVE to to be a good musician. Lots of it will come to you anyway. The point is, there’s no RIGHT way to play or learn to play. Do what you want and learn what and how you want and enjoy yourself. Musicians play, they don’t work.

And you wonder why people get hung-up on three-chord, bubblegum punk songs and can’t progress any further. There IS a right way to play and learn and develop your technique. Phil is correct. While lots of guitarists do not read music, you can still learn theory anyway. Some folks I know suggest the lessons at guitar.com. And MOST of the time, when you ask questions, MOST guitarists are usually pretty helpful. One of the responses to your question also pointed out that if you took lessons you would progress faster. I know you don’t have any money for it right now, fortunately there’s stuff on line (and some of the other folks responding gave some URL’s.) Remember to go slow and be patient with yourself and with the guitar. If you are websurfing for sites with lessons, make sure you cover the basics, even if it seems a bit boring at first – you’ll be grateful later on down the road. good luck and let us know how you are doing.

        Tabs are not really scales in pure form.They are phrases built on these scales.By learning the scales you’ll be able to build your own riffs and phases.Also, you’ll see the reference point of other guitar riffs.As far as lessons…get them if you can! Usually,people who take lessons progress faster than those who don’t. There’s lots of books out there.Pick some that you can relate to and understand.Take music course if available.Start with the basics and work up from there. Oh…you babble nicely. Good Luck

        I have never owned an accoustic in my life so the short answer is yes you can start out on electric. The main reasons behind owning an accoustic first is that the strings are most often a little further apart than on an electric which makes chord work just a little easier for the beginner to come to terms with. Also you don’t need an amp. So the cost can be less. Lets face it, learning guitar takes dedication and hard work and if you give up after a few weeks or months then you have just wasted a lot of money. A cheap accoustic can cut this cost down.

        : hello there! : i have bought ibanez rg270dx,and now day by day i discover that their powersound pickups just sucks,i mean they are far from powersound and the magnets begin to rust.i have heard that EMG,expecially 81 set are the best pickups for metal music. : what do you think if i will endorse my ibanez with these pickups,does it fit anyway and what will i get fro such combination?i need advice from someone who at least thought of this idea or tried. : thanks I just bought a emg 707 active pick up for my 7 string ibanez, and yes, i’m looking at a little bit of body work, but nothing too serious, the emg is a little too big for the opening so i’ll grind the opening to give it the clearence it needs. as far as the 9 volt battery, that will fit nicely in wiring cavity. so yeah, it’s gonna take some work but i think it’ll be worth it, and it shouldn’t be too difficult.

What kind of amp do you have? I run my ibanez through a marshall half stack with 9 pedals. Maybe your amps is the problem. I am currently getting a Gibson Les Paul and I am going to put EMG 81 in the bridge and 85 in the neck because as you stated, they are the best. But, If you do anything, upgrade to a better amp or a higher end guitar for your tone problem. You know that your "Foyd Rose" on that thing isn’t a real Floyd Rose and it only has the name because Ibanez bought the patent. Put two more springs in the back of your tremolo system for your tuning problems and it will stay in tune better (they cost about $3). Good Luck

        I would strongly recommend avoiding the EMG’s and staying with passive pickups. The Seymore Duncan JB seems to be the pickup of choice among many, many hard rock and metal players. I prefer the sound of passive pickups. And I hate the thought of a battery crapping out on me when I least expect it! Also check out http://www.dimarzio.com/ and look at the Tone Zone, Super 3 or the Evolution. My favorite pickup is the DiMarzio PAF Pro. It sounds great for hard rock, but it doesn’t have the super high output you seem to be looking for. Good Luck

        EMG pick ups are a great tight sounding pick up for metal stuff and are used by the likes of Mettalica. You need to be aware that they are active pickups and need a 9v battery to operate. This means that you can’t just stick EMG pickups into your guitar like you can with most other brands. The will need to be proffesionaly installed as a hole will need to be routed into the body of your guitar in order to accommidate the battery compartment. This can be major surgery and needs to be done properly. The EMG 81’s do sound good though. Hope this helps.

          There ae two types of EMG pick ups available, and they both sound good. The first active (using a battery) will be less noisy and should give higher output, but yes the battery can go when you least expect it. The second are standard passive (no battery) EMG Select pick ups which I use in a lot of my guitars (and they sound great — especially if you’ve got a kiler amp!). They are epoxy sealed rather than wax-potted, and enclosed in a clean black plastic cover, and they are very reasonably priced too. You can see these at my web site at: http://members.home.net/wilkatguitars Later, Bill

      I recently purchased an lys L-10 steel string acoustic and was wondering whether anyone knows anything about it. I picked it up for about $200 US and really like the sound and feel of it. Any information would be greatly appreciated Thanks Michael Kane

        your lys guitar was handmade in Quebec Canada. It’s considered a great guitar for it’s workmanship and it’s sound. but I don’t know the value. right now I myself am trying to find out the value of my own lys guitar.

          I have one also, its very nice and sounds great. Not sure of the numbers or value. It was given to me by someone who couldn’t sell it in a pawn shop because no one knew what it was.

            According to a couple of places, these were built in the same factory as Godin and Seagull, but discontinued in 1985. : I have one also, its very nice and sounds great.

      After 20+ years of wanting to learn I am finally taking lessons at a local community college, using a borrowed guitar. I will buy a guitar eventually and would like the looks of the Gretsch G400. I would try anything before I buy but has anyone bought a Gretsch G400 and of so, do you like it? How much did it cost and where is it made. Thanks, Rick

      Hi, I have an original 64 deluxe reverb with a mod done to it..i.e x2 extra valves, increasing the output stage to 40 watts, the spk in it is a H.H spk @ 80watts. I use for effects an original ts 808 overdrive and an original 64 "L" series stratocaster using…. 11-52 strings @ Eb. I am considering an extention box with a 15" spk. at present the sound still brakes up just a little too much… Question…will a 15" spk box give a bigger bottom end, and help to retain string clarity, without loosing sustain..? or 2×12"..?…4×12"..? What brands of spks..and the wattage. for a 15" spk a Weber California C15CA.@ 80watts has been suggested…? My ideal sound is… Stevie Ray Vaughan’s sound…! Any advice would be most helpful…cheers..!!
