WhATS ThE BEst StRings

i go through alot of strings, i wanted to know what do you use. And is light or heavy. And all around what type of music do you use it for.

Re: WhATS ThE BEst StRings

: i go through alot of strings, i wanted to know what do you use. And is light or heavy. And all around what type of music do you use it for.

Rick,

I keep trying different strings, gages, etc. I've found that I like the GHS strings as well as any and they are relatively inexpensive. For blues and if you've got the strength for it you may want to go with a heavy string...12's and up. I think Stevie Ray used 13's or bigger. They give you the sustain you might want. For the country stuff I've know fellows who use as light as 8's. I couldn't play them! I tried and they were just so light that my heavy hands would bend them out of tune on the chords so easily.
For the most part I stay with 10's or 11's. When you go switching gages and make big changes though be thoughtful of the inotation. Going from 12's to 8's will call for an adjustment.

good luck

Re: 1979 Kay

From what I remember,Kay's made decent starter guitars.Todays starter axe's are generaly better.So don't expect to get a lot for it.
Good Luck

Tablature

I am really struggling to find the guitar tablature for a song called 'Little One' by Gallianno. They used to be recorded on Talking Loud recorde but I cannot find any reference to this record and have searched tab sites for the tab with no luck.

Any help with the chords would be greatly appreciated.

rebuild a guitar

i have a dean ML i would like to repaint it and put new pickups in how would i take the old paint off and re paint it what kind of paint sould i use? what kind of pickups sould i get?

Re: rebuild a guitar

Take it from Shakey, dont try to do this at home, unless you own an auto body shop and have spray and finishing experience. Some of us older guys have tried this and it's not worth making a decent guitar worse by putting on an amateur paint job. If the guitar is a good one, send it out to a pro shop, it's relatively inexpensive and the results are a million times better than you could do yourself. I used GMW guitars in Ca. and they did a stunning job. Better than any stock finish on any of my Gibsons, and equal to the finishes on my USA Jacksons(thats because they do the custom work for Jackson) www.gmwguitars.com/

Problems with the necks

Hey everyone.. I just started to learn guitar.. I've been playing piano for 12 years and that's helped, but here's my prob. I have smaller hands (maybe because I'm a girl) and it's hard for me to find a guitar that has a thinner neck... I play acoustic and I want to get into flamenco/spanish and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions!

Thanks!
Sara

Re: Problems with the necks

all the classical guitars i've played on always had quite wide necks, but if you're considering acoustic, Washburn make very decent slim necks

Re: Problems with the necks

Washburn makes decent slim necks, and they have a 'folk' model (F11 I think) that also has a smaller body but has a pretty full sound.

CHEAP GUITAR

where can i get a elc. guitar for cheap i dont need a pro1

Re: CHEAP GUITAR

: where can i get a elc. guitar for cheap i dont need a pro1

If i were you i would go with a fender squier pack. It comes with an amp, a good electric, and costs around 200 bucks. Or you can just get the squier. then later on when your good, or if you dont want to play anymore, you can sell it a lot easier than you would a no name brand. Here are some good sites that give huge discounts. www.zzounds.com, ebay.com(some good guitars for cheap), musiciansfriend.com, and many others. Or just go to your local music store. Most music store owners are required to put that price tag on their equipment by the manufacturers. but trust me they are willing to go down a lot. Ive bought a 280 dollar amp for 150, just because i asked the owner if he could do any better. Just ask, you would be surprised. Or just go down to the local music go round, or whatever sells used intruments, and check it out. Many have squiers or decent electrics for cheap. Your best bet is the squier though, with three single coils, or a humbucker and two single coils. they are cheap to fix, easy to find parts for, retain their value, and everyone uses a fender(hendrix, Stevie ray vaughan, blink 182, the red hot chili peppers, and so on). Good luck. and dont get too cheap of a guitar. thats what i did, and it was a bitch to tune, and would never stay in tune, and sounded awful. Dont waste money on something useless.

Nu-Distortion

What Distortion would u guys suggest for a real heavy Nu-Metal type of music.

Re: Nu-Distortion

go buy a digitec rp 300

Re: Nu-Distortion

I will say it again. If you want that sound you need a Mesa. It is the only real way, do not be fooled. Most of these band are using a combination of both the Mesa amp overdrive and an out board distortion effect.

Re: Nu-Distortion

I can suggest several. The BOSS XT-1 (Xtortion) is modern voiced and sounds pretty good. Other than this I guess the programability of a multieffects would do you good. Or use a straightforward distortion like the Boss DS-1 and an EQ pedal, I think that would work well.

This is assuming you're like me and can't afford an amp to provide the distortion of course.

NEED EQUIPMENT ADVICE

I am a guitarist. Ive been in a few bands before but never really dealt with the PA equipment much. Now i'm thinking of trying some stuff on my own and was wondering what some essential, affordable equipment would be (for backing tracks, PA, mics, etc.). Any help would be appreciated.

Re: NEED EQUIPMENT ADVICE

Re: TASCAM PORTA02MKII

I bought a TASCAM PORTA02MKII on sale but it came with no instruction book. How can I get the instructions? Do I record one or two tracks at one time and then replay the tape and record the second two tracks over that same tape or what? Sorry for these rather basic questions.

easy question about multi-effetcs processors

multi-effects processors are the same as pedals in that that can be plugged directly into the amp the same was as a pedal can. correct?

Re: easy question about multi-effetcs processors

: multi-effects processors are the same as pedals in that that can be plugged directly into the amp the same was as a pedal can. correct?

CORRECT - YOU CAN ALSO ROUTE THEM THRU THE EFFECTS LOOP AS YOU WOULD A PEDAL, IF YOU LIKE.

Re: easy question about multi-effetcs processors

something bad though is some effects belong in the loop and some in front, so you might still need separate pedals even with a multi.

200 watt head with a 120 watt cabinet?

i need to know if it would be ok to use a 200 watt head with a 120 watt cabinet.
can anyone help me out?

Re: 200 watt head with a 120 watt cabinet?

Yes, it can be. But you must be very carefull. I always consider at least double the wattage a safe plan.
