Rockman duplicate sounds

Could anyone tell me how I could get the exact same sounds with the settings set at NORM & CLN2 what kind of gear do I need to duplicate through my amp if you know please email me rrcaab@yahoo.com Thanks Randy

Re: Rockman duplicate sounds

At the very least; a chorus effect and a decent reverb with a small amount of delay. You'll have to experiment with settings. Perhaps if someone
already has they could post it here. You'll need a decent effects unit though with all the neccessary parameters.

how much is this guitar worth?

This is a Gibson Southerner Jumbo 1950 ( authenticated by Gibson).. excellent condition and sound is great.

Re: how much is this guitar worth?

It depends on a lot of factors. If it is a 1950 SJ then it could be worth up to $4,000 or so. But if it's in excellent condition, there is the possibility that its been refinished, or had parts replaced like the bridge, tuners, etc. which would dramatically impact the value (like down to $1000 to $1500). Anyone placing a solid value on it would need to check that stuff out.

Anyone know about Joe Becker??

According to Jason Becker's website, Joe Becker manages him and appears on Jason's new tribute album as well. I got the album and Joe freakin' shreds! But I just went to Joe Becker's website and on top of this he's producing some album with all these guitar greats on it. Of course I found this out after listening to him and MIKE ANTHONY FROM VAN HALEN chat for a minute via realplayer on the website. Howcome I've never heard of this guy before? Can anyone in here tell me more about him? Is he Jason's brother or something? What's the deal??

Pot problem; Crate GFX 212

Mako Traditionals TB-2

Bought a Mako Traditionals TB-2 for forty dollars. I was just wondering if there was any info on the guitar. The serial number is 02894. Thanks.

Re: Mako Traditionals TB-2

I recently aquired one in pretyy ratty condition for my step-son. Fortunatly my girlfriend was able to clean it up and get it working for around $20 in about 4 hours. Looks like new now and she was suprised at how good it sounded! Does anyone know anything about these guitars? I looked up Mako guitars on the internet and found nothing.

Guitar Newbie

Hi Everyone--
I'm thinking about learning to play the guitar but am unsure of what a good starter guitar would be. My taste in music would steer me towards an acoustic. I'm also trying to stay on a budget so I don't want to overdo it. Any advice would be very appreciated! Thanks!

Re: Guitar Newbie----------------------try this

gay, dont be intimidated by larger instruments, you should not play with yourself

blues bend

i am guitarist from indonesia

can you talk to me about blues bending tehnique

ok thanks for everything

Re: blues bend

: can you talk to me about blues bending tehnique

What do you already know about this

To bend you put your finger on the string below the note you are going to bend up to. Strike the string and push it up till you get the note/sound you want.

There are variations to this.

You canhave the string alreadt pushed up and then release the pressure to return to the note you are on

or you can push up release push up release to give a wavering effect

How far below or above the note you need to be you will have to experiment with

Good luck Peter Australia

Dual Lead Effects Rack

Looking for some feedback on purchasing a guitar effects rack where I can manage 2-different settings and swith between them by means of a foot-switch. I play through a mixer style PA system and want some more effects for lead and rhythm guitar. I don't need hundreds of presets, just a simple dual-lead system that I can manage with a foot switch.

Can humbuckers be added to all guitars? (Danelectros)

I actually love the sound of my DC3 Danelectro. But it would be cool to get a hum-free guitar for recording purposes. Forgive my ignorance, but could a humbucker be added to a Danelectro? Wouldn't that mean losing the sound I love so much?

Re: Can humbuckers be added to all guitars? (Danelectros)

Unfortunately any mod you make will change the tone and sound. You can put some stacked coil humbucker or single coil slot humbuckers in a single coil slot. You might even get a better sound if you shop around and use good quality parts.

Electric Guitar strings

I would like to know if an electric guitar uses the same strings as an acoustic guitar and if you tune it the the same way. (6E,5A,4D,3G,2B & 1E)

Re: Electric Guitar strings

: I would like to know if an electric guitar uses the same strings as an acoustic guitar and if you tune it the the same way. (6E,5A,4D,3G,2B & 1E)
~~~~Electrics are tuned the same, but they do not use the same strings. I suggest Ernie Ball Regular Slinkys. But whatever you use, don't put acoustic strings on your electric.

Epiphone Les Paul- tuner problems

I love me new EPI Les Paul except that the tuners are junk. Can these be replaced with another quality tuner that has the same footprint?

Re: Epiphone Les Paul- tuner problems

: I love me new EPI Les Paul except that the tuners are junk. Can these be replaced with another quality tuner that has the same footprint?

It depends on the kind of tuners it has on it now. Chances are you can, but if you can't get replacements you could always just fill in the old screw holes, and put on new tuners. (I suggest Schaller).
jake

Re: Epiphone Les Paul- tuner problems

if you just bought the classic or standard modle and it came with the jade type tuner keys,.. I just replaced mine with a set of grover 201's and they come so close to covering the old holes you don't notice until you start nit-picking the guitar,..and they line up with the other screw holes already in the headstock,.. the only thing I had to do was open up the thru holes in the headstock to .390in to accept the hub on the grover tuners body (but don't drill the holes all the way through so if you want to put the old tuners bck on their front side bushings will still press into the wood in the headstock.

Hope this helps,.. :)

Need Info on 1971 Alvarez Yairi Classical Guitar

guitar appraisal on my Alvarez

I have an artist model Alvarez guitar, model #5076, serial #4010G. It has a small brass plaque behind the tuning keys that reads "Commemorating the 60th Anniversary of SLM". The guitar is a dreadnaught cutaway with factory electronics. I would like to know it's approximate value, and what "SLM" stands for. Thanks. Rico

re: guitar appraisal on my Alvarez

I had the guitar of which you speak growing up. There were at least two models made that year by Alvarez to commemorate the 60th anniversary of "St Louis Music". St. Louis Music is the company that distributes Alvarez guitars in the united states. The electronics are simple, and are passive (no power used at the guitar) and were rather poor because it was one of the early stabs at putting pickups in acoustics at the factory. The other guitar released that year commemorating the anniversary is much more sought after due to it's design...its a dreadnought with no circular soundhole, it has fillagree sound holes at the top and bottom just below and above where the neck meets the body (think Ovation's guitar design) and these sound holes were covered inside the guitar with paper filters. When I sold mine in the mid-1990's I got $300 in trade from an established guitar shop. I have no idea what they're worth now but seeing as how they're not as special as they seem (Alvarez releases anniversary guitars now like they're dollar bills) I doubt they've went up too much. Hope this helps!

Who's better, Malmsteen or Van Halen

Who's better, Malmsteen or Van Halen. I know Malmsteen is much, much faster,(fastest ever) was a pradogy, so was Van Halen a pradogy. But who would be the best overall guitarist right now?

Re: Who's better, Malmsteen or Van Halen

yngwie malmsteen is the best. van halen wasn't really that awesome. at his bands prime he was very inovative but there are many guitarists that have passed him up. (to me) malmsteen, bettencourt, and petrucci are the best right now.

: yngwie malmsteen is the best. van halen wasn't really that awesome. at his bands prime he was very inovative but there are many guitarists that have passed him up. (to me) malmsteen, bettencourt, and petrucci are the best right now.

I would have to agree with that. Innovation shouldn't necessarily be mistaken for skill or talent. Clapton was an innovator but he couldn't hold a light to Jimi Hendrix or Stevie Ray. (My opinion)

Re: Who's better, Malmsteen or Van Halen

I believe Malmsteen at the moment iz a betetr guitarist.. After G3 i think he showed all why he iz at the moment the best der iz.. EVH is in right is a legend of the axe, but he hasent left his mark lately.. i honestly havnt heard him in along time. i lost interest in him after David lee roth left..

Re: Who's better, Malmsteen or Van Halen

you people are out to lunch. van halen is a much more interesting player and blows yngwie out of the ocean. yngwie is super boring and his speed puts people to sleep unfortunately. VH is still amazing. Jeff Beck is a stunning guitar player and was an influence to both. peace

Re: Who's better, Malmsteen or Van Halen

Malmsteen is the best, technically, and I`m not talking only about the speed. Although, musically, most of his solos are veeeeeery boring.

EMG 707 pickups

will they fit in an Ibanez s-7420?

Re: EMG 707 pickups

No. I have an s7420fm and 707's and I had to get my guitar routed to make them fit.

Epiphone Sheraton Gibson

I recently purchased through E-Bay an Epiphone Sheraton Gibson. Blonde, maple/birch, with rosewood fretboard, mother of pearl and abalone inlay on the headstock (vine) and fretboard (v design). There is no stylized 'E' anywhere on the instrument and the serial number (or perhaps the manufacturer's number) is printed on a label inside the Fhole but there is no stamped number on the headstock. The number inside the Fhole is: P49415 8817. Could this P represent a Philadelphia produced Epiphone from 1958-1960? The Epiphone has two nickle plated humbucking in black saddles. Tuning pegs are gold as are the bridge and bolted in tailpiece. The bridge and tailpiece are somewhat corroded which suggests some age?

Can anyone help me with this?

How Do you Solo Over Changing Chords

I have been practing scales now,(major, minor) all that stuff..But i can't figure out how to scale over changing chords, even if the chord changes are slow its really hard..I have a question that i would be grateful is someone would solve.
When someone is playing certain chords like A, C, and D, does your solo have to fit with the exact timing with the changes ?.
I know it's a little hard to explain but if someone would write back i would go intoo more detail..
But if anyone would just give a little advice, it would help me a great deal
