      The manual is on the mesa site.

      : My mark is a good sounding amp that I got a hold of from a guy getting rid of it. Its sounds sweet, there is a whole deal of different inputs in the back of the amp, but I dont know what they do. I dont even know if the speaker jack is pluged into the right input. I heard there are different ohms setting in each input. There are two right next to each other. There arent any discriptions anywhere. I heard there was several different versions of the 1978 MArk 1. My mark 1 has the EQ, no reverb, no presence, volumes 1 and 2, 2 inputs in the front, 60 rms/100rms switch. I asked mesa boogie for the manual and all they sent me was a maintnance guid just in case it broke down. Dosnt really say what everything does. Would really appreciate the help. Thanx, Will

      : I would stay away from Crate amps in general, they are not very good amps( reliability, performance, TONE!!..). Even with the tube emulation circuitry, it’s not going to even come close to the real thing. Even though it sounds like a good deal with the built-in effects and all, you will probably be disappointed with the quality of the effects. And, since you play small gigs 120 watts will probably be too much. Try looking at the Fender Hot Rod series, they are great amps. They have great tone( they are all tube) and they are very versatile. They average 40-60W RMS but they are a very loud 40-60 watts. They are just better amps than the Crate’s. I think you would be happier with the quality you would get in the Fender.

      we all wonder who the best rock guitarist is??? simply you ave Van-H, Zakk Wylde, Randy Roads, Toni Iommi, Kirk Hammett, James Hetfeild, Satriani, Vai, Hendrix. my choice would be Van-H, zakk Wylde and Randy Roads who sadly died. But somewhere in the world sitting at home is someone who is better that all these, as guitaring is just a hobbie and will not take it up as a profecinal carier!!!!!!!!!!!

      there is a best guitarist, he comes with all the capabilities and style of playing,his qualities are recognisable to steve vai, joe satriani, stevie ray vaughn, jeff healy, v-h, the list goes on and on, but all you have to do just ask him to play any song and he will, that guitarist is unknown and always will be, he is just some guy with his guitar and his amp making it work in his bedroom.

      I have a FG-300 that I bought in 1971 in Baltimore for 50. I’m not particularly interested in selling it because it sounds so good, but I would be interested in knowing what it’s worth these days, and why you’re looking for a 30-year-old Yamaha guitar.

      The Parker is truly a great guitar. They play and sound very similar to a Fender. One of the things I like about them is that they are very versatile, which is partly why they can be compared to the Strat. What makes them (dare I say) better is that they also have piezos on the bridge to offer an accoustic sound. (There’s the whole steroe deal, so you can play two different sound through two different amps). But you’re not restricted to using the piezos just for the acoustic sound. Since they don’t produce feedback like a regular acoustic, you can play through and electric amp. In fact, you can combine both the magnetic pickups with the piezos to get a wide variety of sound. You can find more about how to do this by visiting the parkerguitars.com site and looking under the section "Benefits and Applications of a Mag/Piezo System."

        This argument has been going on for a long while,but for me there is no doubt that Hendrix is the ultimate guitarist,he was so far ahead of his time we still ain’t cought up with him yet,Page follows a very close second with solos like the since i’ve been loving you, youcan’t argue,i would say Eric clapton would be 3rd,with Steve Vai and Slash following.

Here is my advice: 1) download GP3(full version) 2) fill in this username: HASAN OZDEMIR 3) and this key: 10542-84669-82000 It worked with me! IF it works, can you please give me some sites on which I can find a shitload of GP files like of Metallica and other rockbands? I especially need the song Breadfan. Thanks!

      : Hmm.Alico pickups tend to be bright and hot,depending on model.Don’t know much about the 450’s,but the Lawrence 550’s are razor-sharp!You might want to check the Duncan JB(SH-4),Seth Lovers or Classic 57’s.I would’nt get anything too hot for classic tone.13.5-15 ohms should do it.
      : Good Luck

      I have a Rio Grande bbq nickel covered bucker. Kick but! I have a solid mahogany Cort Les Paul copy. This is an overwound pickup with more emphasis on the mids and lows. It is a hot vintage sounding pickup. Maybe you can compare it to a 57 classic plus. All I know is it kicks!

      : those three are the best…..they have technique, emotion, and everything that others aspire to be.

      Vai has the emotion of a teabag! I saw him at the Ent Cent in Sydney with David Lee Roth. Vai is a wanker with lightning fast fingers but not a clue how to use them properly. Satriani is better if you like the warp speed style.

      ZOOM GFX-707 Effects Processor Reviews

      ——————————————————————————–

      ZOOM gfx 707

      Effects Pedals / Processors

      I had already owned the zoom 505, but I was looking for an accent pedal when ZOOM came out with the 707. I traded in my 505 and paid another 00.00 CDN.This unit is GREAT for me. I can program sounds for any of the types of music I like to play. The amp selector works great for tweeking those sounds.Its fairly easy to program.The drum machine is a great bonus.The AC adapter is crap. The cord is too short.It creates some annoying noises.Don’t buy the one supplied, go to RADIO SHACK, they can set you up. For the price this baby is well made.I don’t recomend it for your next OZZY tour but for your average garage band or bedroom rocker this unit can’t be beat. I really like it. The GFX 707 is a compact unit that delivers. For the price of one pedal it gives you a hundred. Zoom you’ve done good.

      5 out of 5!

      Thanks guys – I have played for a number of years. When I attempt to solo over a song should these be the steps?

      1. find out which chords I am soloing over
      2. work out what the correct scale is to solo over this sequence,
      3. bring in some of my favourite licks and phrases as you guys talk about above? whilst playing within the notes of the scale

      If this is correct then I knnow I am confused about which step 2 . Do you guys know of a good site where the links between the chord progressions and scales can be found?

      Thanks keep jamming and enjoy yourself

      : : Thanks for reading this! I am a good guitar player, however I need a lot of help on my lead playing! What can I practise, or play to get my lead playing up to scrath. Are there any scales, melodies, or tunes that will help me play better? Thanks heaps, if you could site references to books, songs, or web sites I would greatly appreciated it!

      : : Thanks again
      : : Chris.J

      : Some people get cynical about the following. Trust me, okay – it’s going to cost you next to nothing.

      : Buy a metronome. Electronic or mechanical, it doesnt matter. Yes, I know metronomes aren’t particularly rock n roll – wear a disguise or something when you go into the shop, if you must. Draw up a list of 12 licks that you like. These are little phrases that you’re going to use in your soloing. They may be things you already know, or things you get from a guitar magazine, or things you pick up off a record. Doesn’t matter where they come from, and it deosn’t matter if you play them slightly differently to wherever they came from – you’re coming up with your own stuff here, ultimately. If you don’t have any licks and are completely stuck as to where to start come back to me and I’ll get you started. However you write them down is up to you. You don’t have to use tab or proper notation or anything else – no-one’s going to come and mark this or try and read it. It just has to make sense to you. Okay, so you’ve now got 12 licks. Right, find the fastest metronome setting at which you can play the first lick in time, cleanly, every time without fail. Note it down. Now do the same for the other 11 licks. Now practice all 12 for 2 minutes – time it – every day, 6 days a week (the 7th day rests your fingers). After a couple of weeks you’ll be aware that it feels easier playing these licks and you could play most if not all of them at a slightly higher speed. Fine. Go through them all and find the slightly higher tempo at which you can now play them. How fast you’re aiming for depends on what you want to play. I’m not trying to turn you into some kind of speed demon here. Listen to what you’d like to play and work out what tempo you need to be comfortable at in order to play along. Every couple of weeks, then, you can note down a slightly higher tempo for each of these licks until eventually you can toss any of them into a solo, at full tempo, without thinking about it, playing each of them cleanly every time. Your audeince doesn’t care about the metronome, or about how many times you got them wrong while practising – all they want to hear is those notes flying off your fretboard with absolute confidence when they’re listening/watching. Once you can play any of those licks that well, drop it from your practise schedule and replace it with another one. That way you’re building up your vocabulary of licks all the time.

      : I don’t know who you listen to, so I won’t reccomend anyone by name, but if you listen to the people you like you will find that most top guitar players – whether they’ve learned them like this or any other way – do have licks which you find reappearing from time to time.

      : Practice scales as well.

      : If you need more help, or clarification on any of the above, come back to me on the forum here. If it sounds too much like hard work then either think again or take up embriodery!!

      : Good luck, and have fun.

      : Keith.

I think you really have to use an AC30 with the old blue speakers to really get the most out of it. The difference in sound quality between the blue speakers and the green ones is like the difference between vinyl and CD…. Anyway, the amps before ’93 are ok by me!

      I recomend the PSA-1… first it’s analog, the POD is digital (high A/D to D/A, but still…) second, the PSA-1 gives you more room on your rack, for a BBE or Power conditioner, or something. And most important to me, the PSA-1 will let you TAYLOR your sound. It’s presets are as close to the origional as the pod, in my opinion, but the dial allow YOUR presets to be something entirely new. POD doesn’t really allow that.

      However, the POD has effects, (not the best but it does have them, the SansAmp doesn’t) it has it’s own foot pedal, if you’re not a MIDI whiz that’s easy to use, and it has an digital out… if those are important to you, keep that in mind. Too me, the PODs biggest seelling point is it’s easy for just about anyone to gab and sound good. (i.e. no thought required) The PSA may take more time, and well need seperate modulation units. I hope my observations helped.

      : : Man it is tough to get feedback on this forum. Well, here goes…

      : : I am looking for some opinions on the highly praised Sansamp PSA-1 and POD Pro preamps. I have a Johnson Millennium 250W head and though it sounds pretty damn good, I have heard the PSA-1 is simply amazing and that the POD Pro is also superb.

      : : Hope to hear from some of you. If you want to hear how my Johnson sounds recorded direct, see my mp3’s at

      : : http://www.geocities.com/b_huether/recordings.html

      : : Lots of people have told me they love the sound I get, but I still think something is missing…hopefully one of these preamps is the answer!!

      : I am going to be buying an amp for my guitar. I’m thinking about a Crate GFX 212. Ihas that flexwave thing (Supposed to make it sound like tube amp Does it???) It has 2 12’s and 120 watts and some good effects built in. Are these good? Does anyone know? I play in a band as one of the guitarists. We do small gigs. I think that 120 watts will be good.
      : Amy

      I think it is all your prefrence, if you like the amp and the feel then get it, I like Crate I think with all amps they make a "cheap" model and a "good" model if you get a cheap amp, then you get what you pay for and VV. well thats my 2 cents… Good luck!!!

      Basically, no one can beat Jimmy Page. Ok maybe Hendrix was more innovative, and Chuck Berry was one of the first, but Page has such diverse talents. He uses all the effects to great use and not forget composing Stairway to heaven and Since i’ve been loving you… the best piece of blues music ever. Hendrix is also amazin. Talking more modernly, though, slash is great cos he is also diverse, playing acoustic, electric and doing rock, heavy meatal, blues and even slightly country. For feeling alone, Stevie Ray Vaughan is the best though…just beating Peter Green. But definitely Jimmy Page is the best…anyone who can start a band as amazing as Led Zeppelin is amazing.

      : I would like to get my 17 year old son the sound that I could not afford when I was young.
      You know the deep, thick, chuncky sound of a Marshall amp. I purchased a Marshall JCM 900
      , 50 Watt amp, w/2 GT1275 Celestion speakers but the sound was not quite there. He bough
      t a Jackson Preformer and added 3 hot EMG pick-ups but we are not yet there. Now, the Amp
      has one blown speaker and my question to you is should I get another GT1275 Celestion for
      it, by some HOT other speakers, change tubes, sell the combo and get a halve stack or what? Please send a reply, I’m willing to lose a few bucks to get the sound we want.
      Thanks, for listening, Dave

      If you are still interested in transcriptions of "The Thumb" I have two which I got off the ‘net.

      : Does anyone have notation or tab on Wes Montgomerys Song ‘The Thumb’, or ‘How Insensitive’. How Insensitive was a Jobim Song, Montgomery did a killer version of it. I have a Great Collection of Artist’s Transcriptions for the Guitar on a wide variety of Artists, If you have what I’m looking for Let’s Trade.

      : Hi. Does anyone have any opinions on the Duo Jet reissues. They don’t seem too cheap, but I love the look of the black duo jets. I have mostly owned and played Fender Teles and Strats, and various Gibsons, and now Hamers. How would the Gretsch compare?

      they are wonderful, if they are the japanese ones from the ’90s. i’ve owned several original gretsch guitars and the re-ish is the best overall realization of those designs. as regards comparisons to fenders, etc. the jet have a semi-chambered body and filtertron pickups, and that combination is unlike any other.

      Well, I know that they’re impossible to find. Just about 1 1/2 years ago, I was looking at their web page. A friend of mine who owns a small chain of local music stores told me that they’re still in business, but they only deal with major guitar companies. So if I wanted one, I’d have to go and order a custom built guitar from ESP or Jackson. As far as the new system goes, I’ve never heard of them making one other than the one with the cam, or ones that look like a Floyd Rose (ick).

      Subject: Make Thousands of Dollars Within Weeks With Only An Initial Investment
      of .00! NEW GUARANTEED METHODS

      Hello, My Friends..

      I Found This Mail On A Bulletin Board And Decided To Try It.

      You Can 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

      Addresses Stated In The Article.
      You Then Place Your Own Name And Address At The Bottom Of The List
      At #6, And Post The Article To At Least 200 Newsgroups.
      (There Are Thousands). No Catch, That Was It. So After Thinking
      It Over And Talking To A Few People At 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 About 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 And Its Still Growing. This Is Now My
      Forth Week And I Have Made A Total Of Just

      Over 2,000 And Its Still Coming In Rapidly. Its Certainly Worth .00 And 6
      Stamps, I’ve Spent More Than That On The

      Lottery!!

      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 From It As You Need It. I Promise You That
      If You Follow The Directions Exactly, That You Will Start Making More Money
      Than Thought Possible By Doing Something

      So Easy! Suggestion: Read This Entire Article Carefully!
      (Print It Out Now Or Download It)

      Follow The Simple Instructions And Watch The Money Come In! It Easy, And Most
      Importantly,Its LEGAL. And Your

      Investment Is Only .00 (Plus Postage).
      IMPORTANT: This Is Not A Rip-Off; 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.

      Or More Can Be Yours In 20 To 60 Days.
      This Program Remains Successful Because Of The Honesty And Integrity Of The
      Participants. Please Continue Its Success

      By Carefully Adhering To The Instructions. You Will Now Become Part Of The Mail
      Order Business.

      Here Are The 4 Easy Steps To Success:

      STEP 1:Get 6 Separate Pieces Of Paper And Write The Following On Each Piece Of
      Paper:
      "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST". Now Get 6 US .00 Bills And Place ONE
      Inside Each Of The 6 Pieces Of Paper So

      The Bill Will Not Be Seen Through The Envelope (To Prevent Thievery). Next,
      Place One Paper Inside EACH Of The 6

      Envelopes And Seal Them. MAKE SURE
      THERE IS ENOUGH POSTAGE ON YOUR 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 Creating Is 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 US Post Office (1-800-725-2161)And
      They Confirmed It Is Indeed Legal! Mail The Six Envelopes To The
      Following Addresses:

      #1) T. Gray, 72 Broadleaf Avenue, Bishops Stortford,
      Herts., CM23 4JZ, United Kingdom
      #2) J. Fugate P.O.Box 6638 Evansville, In 47719-0638
      #3) M. Sadique, BB-G-9 Jln 4/14B, Pandan Indah 55100, KL, MALAYSIA.
      #4) DR Salah Abdel Hameed Mohammad,P.O.Box 5805,Riyadh 11432,SAUDI ARABIA
      #5) Khairil Azwan Malim Jaafar, No 5, Building 18A, Ismail Abazah Street, 11461
      Sayeda Zeinab, Cairo, EGYPT.
      #6) Au Tat Fung, Rm 24A, Gosse Building, 2 Highgate Street, Fullarton, Adelaide, S.A. 5063, Australia.

      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 #6 On The List.

      STEP 3:Change Anything You Need To, But Try And Keep This Article As Close To
      The Original As Possible. Now, Post Your

      Ammended 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!

      **EVERYBODY AROUND THE WORLD CAN DO IT,BUT REMEMBER TO PUT ENOUGH POSTAGE STAMP
      (S) ON YOUR

      ENVELOPES!!!**

      This Is Perfectly Legal! If You Have Any Doubts, Refer To Title 18 Sec. 1302 &
      1341 Of The Postal Lottery Laws. Keep A

      Copy Of These Steps For Yourself And Whenever You Need Money, You Can Use It
      Again And Again. BUT PLEASE

      REMEMBER, That This Program Remains Successful Because Of The Honesty And
      Integrity Of The Participants And By Their

      Carefully Adhering To The Instructions. Look At It This Way; If You Are Of

      Computer Or Hard Copy And Keep The

      Notes
      People Send You. This Verifies That You Truly Are Providing A Service. Also,It
      Might Be A Good Idea To Wrap The .00 Bill

      In Dark Paper To Reduce The Risk Of Mail Theft. So, As Each Post Is Downloaded
      And The Erections Carefully Followed, Six

      Members Will Be Reimbersed For Their Participation As A List Developer With One
      Dollar Each.

      aHHHHH that is not true Kahler still makes trems, and yes you can still get parts. However I do not know if they have a web-site, go to a local guitar shop/builder and they should be able to stear you in the right direction. Or call Hoffman guitars in Mpls andtalk to Ron. I was supprised to find out they were still going myself. But if you notice there is a couple of guitar manufacture’s such as Jackson that are offering there trems (kahler pro) again. I have there phone number somewhere.

      Yes, you can. The only thing you’ll have to do is to plug your guitar in the input of the sound card, your sound card may have two inputs. You can use both. After that you can use the controls of the sound card (or Windows) to graduate the volume (Start/Programs/Accessories/entertainment/Volume Control).

      : Ok…
      : Here’s my question :

      : Can u plug an electric guitar into a computer, if u dont have an amplifier.
      : And use the computers proccessor and speakers to get the sound !?!? I need to know….coz i dont have an amp…..cant find one…..and want to buy a guitar…

      Had one a couple years back. Put it on my Ibanez. They have a stopping point in the middle that you can feel when you play. Its supposed to be the nuetral stop. I like playing with a little vibrato from my wang bar and the trem-setter made that feel like I was fighting it.
      I found out that my tuning problems were due to the fact that my trem springs were old and my nut was moving around.
      My new yamaha has a floyd that I almost NEVER tune.
      Throw it in the car, go to the gig and it is still in tune. It can even handle wang bar drops to the point where the strings are flapping.

      : Can anyone please help me – I need to find out the approx. value of this guitar. 1980 cream yellow SG, all original electronics and hard case, hardly ever played, near mint condition. Thanks…
      : That’s a tough question. Gibson really made some crap,starting in the ’70’s. But the SG is such an easy axe to make, maybe they didn’t screw that one up. Have you played it? How do YOU like it? You can always change the pups.If the neck is STRAIGHT,if it’s been played a LOT,it "might" be a decent value at 00.

      Hi Jaterz, Thanks for the insight. I actually own the D-18V you mention. And I love it. The problem I’m trying to solve is this: I want a darker sounding guitar that isn’t as airy and dry sounding as the mohogany guitar is.
      There is some debate about the scalloped braces in the HD-28 creating overtones that are offensive to certain tastes. The D-28 crowd seems to think that the D’s lack of overtones is better. (And sounds better in a group.)
      I know I’m probably splitting hairs, but that’s where I’m at.

      Both guitars are great. The HD has herringbone inlay. It is a more "fancy" guitar than the plain D-28. I have played several of each model. They all have sounded a little different. A D-28 at one store will sound different than a D-28 from another store.
      I also recently played a new D-18V the "V" for vintage style X bracing. It sounded better than the HD-28 next to it. You will have to play a few to find one that has the sound your looking for. You should know it when you play it. )I own two Martins and they’re both great.

      Does it buzz the whole way along the fretboard, or on one particular place? On all strings? Are the strings you have installed the same gauge as before? Does the neck look straight, convex or concave as you look along it? Is it playing in tune along the whole neck?

      I have a ESP LTD MH-300 w/ a floyd rose licensed (obviously) and i just changed the strings. the tremolo angle is perfect. i don’t have any twang or fret buzz when i play open strings. but when i play any fretted notes i get a twang/fret buzz. it was not like this before i changed the strings. is there any way to fix this without having high action? and why is the twang only on the fretted notes and not on open strings? thanks

      A site has been setup for Tokai guitar owners to add the details of their fine instruments to help shed light on what features were produced on what models during what years. There is little decent Tokai info on the Internet and subsequently a lot of people what to know how old their Tokai might be. The database is for old as well as new models so if you have one of these beauties then pay a visit and type your details in at… http://www.cullenracing.com/tokai/frameset.html

It sounds to me like there maybe a little burr – you know, a little rough edge to the metal – on your bridge. I don’t think you’re going to get anywhere looking for extra-strong strings – I’ve certainly never heard of any. Could you borrow a guitar for a while and see if the same problem occurs with that one? Then you’ll know if its your guitar rather than the strings. A guitar tech could probably file the bridge smooth for you, if you weren’t comfortable doing it yourself You could replace it, but that would obviously be a more expensive option.

      I have to disagree about the acoustic being the way for a starter. Remember how sore your fingers were when you started playing? Electrics are so much easier for a beginner to play. Easier on your fingers.
      On top of all that, most "starter" acoustics are horrible to play.

      Just my 2 cents

      : If I could make a suggestion stay with the acoustic for a while I know it is tempting to want to go electric, but the basics are better learned on an acoustic. You can move to an electric later on, and by all means get a good quality guitar to learn with. Others may tell go cheap because if you don’t continue playing you will have not invested much, so no big loss.

I play the magnetic pick-ups through a Line 6 Flextone II which by itself is a real kicker, and I send the Accoustic side through a Gallien Kruger Guitar Amp with a Yamaha 4×10 Cabinet.

      If I can solve my unravelling problem and decide to go ahead with the heavier gauge strings, I’ll need to widen the string slots in the nut so they will accept them… one problem after another! The nut looks like it won’t fit much heavier than .009-.046…

      : if its unraveling at the bead why would you need to file the nut? maybe the problem is down there on the guitar.

      : : First, be sure you want to use these gauge strings for a long time before filing the nut, cause if you don’t like the new strings, you’ll need a new nut.

        I have one in my Jackson Soloist. It does stabilize the tuning. The only thing bad that I can say is that it also tightens up the whammy bar so you have to use more effort. It is a trade off. If you bash a lot of chords rather than pure lead playing it is definately a good product.

      The concept is simple there are mutiple effect that can be set up and stored and used at the touch of a pedal, the problem is there is a half inch thick tech manul that you need to know first and it is like reading, well a multi effects manual. Don’t fret, play with the thing, expierment with it you really can’t hurt it so try to take it piece by piece, little by little rather than trying to learn everything at once. I have not played with the RP2000, but have used the Boss GT-3 and other multi efects systems and the same applies "Learn by Doing" and don’t be affraid to expierment.

      Your best bet would be to go to a music store and try out as many guitars as you can (in your price range) and then decide. I say "in your price range" because if you pick up an expensive guitar most likely you will not be able to put it down and then you will find that nothing that is affordable to you will ever play as good. (I am assuming you are not a rich millionaire and can afford to buy a guitar that costs several thousand dollars…sorry if I am wrong). Start with somethimg simple. I would suggest a Fender Mexican Strat. They are good first electric guitars. They are well-made and play pretty good. They have a pretty good tone too. Those will cost around 50-400. I hope this helps, Good luck!!!

      The best thing is to go out and play as many different types and choose what feels right to you. One bit of advice regardless of which type you get it is well advised to get a good quality guitar, don’t get a cheap knockoff and don’t be afarid to play guitars that are out of your price range this is a good thing to do then you will have an idea of what a real quality guitar feels like vs. a cheap guitar.

I’d like to see George get a little more free and let loose.

      The set of D’addarios I have been putting in have been giving me some grief. It’s a ’76 Ibanez strat clone, with the standard strat style trem. The .013 seems to be unravelling itself from the bead- I though it might be a faulty string, but it’s done it twice now…
      The nut may need to be widened to accomodate the width of the new strings, since the . I have a set of mini-files, is this a job I could attempt myself? The nut is made from plastic, nylon I think.

      all suggestions welcomed!

God I hope not! I’d suggest having a guitar tech take a look at it and see what s/he thinks. It may well be that your guitar was indeed desinged with far lighter strings in mind, but that would surprise me. How about dropping to 12s or even 11s instead? Presumably you’re planning to play the 13s dropped a tone (or semi-tone)? You mmight find that 11s or 12s at normal pitch give you a good tone with less hassle, and you don’t need to remember your chords are in different places when you’re jamming with people, which was the reason I eventually gave up on dropped tuning. Good luck, anyway.

      Well I just recently got my Digitech RP2000, and I think its great. I’m probably not as advanced as i should be to be using such an advanced piece of equipment, but regardless….

      I dont really know much about the effects and parameters. I have a general idea, but alot of it confuses me. I was wondering if any other rp2000 users out there could help me out with it

      For that kind of tone I would go for the Marshall. It will give you the great beefy tone that Jimmy Page and Joe Perry use. Also, add some more gain and you can pull off the Hetfield and Hammet tones. But, since you have a Strat copy you won’t get as much of the low-end growl that a Les Paul can produce. But, the Marshall will get you started in the right direction. Good luck, I hope this helps!!!

        i wouldnt bother with new pickups. i would go find a another guitar you might like. depends on the monsy you have to spend on what though. marshalls are good (mostly) ….mesa boogie (my personal fav) i played some johnsons that were nice if you want to go with the modeling thing. all the effects are right there in the amp. check out acoustic/electrics on a website like musicans friend or something.

      or Seymore Duncan SH-5 or SH-6.If you like active stuff
      maybe the EMG humbuckers.It’ll roast your amp.Carvin
      M-22’s are very good.
      HALF STACK)Don’t know much about those.I’d use a combo
      or single speaker amp for mobility.The Fender HOT ROD
      Deville seem good.Played on one Christmas eve.Oh yeah,
      Carvin stuff(older)is very good.Marshalls are good.
      Guitars)I love the ESP’s.MH-300,have easy action,small
      neck width,24 frets,locking trem. The pickups aren’t bad.
      Acoustic/Electric)Played a Takamine,very nice!

      Kahler no longer makes tremolo parts. They now make golf equipment. A few months ago I had an internet buddy go to their current factory in California. They can no longer make replacement parts due to a court order due to a battle with Floyd Rose. Your best bet is to contact dealers at guitar shows or check on lin auctions such as ebay. Parts are scarce.

      Strobe tuning is where your guitar is adjusted to where an open high E, for example, will sound exactly the same as a fretted high E and a harmonic high E. What I mean is that none of the notes will be sharp or flat of each other. In other words, your guitar will be in tune with itself. A pro will adjust the saddles on your bridge forward or backward on all 6 strings to achieve this. All of your chords and notes will be in tune. Since it sounds like you have never had this done, strobe tuning would be a good investment. Ask around to see which guitar tech is good in your area.
      Good luck.

      I play more blues myself, but I read Jaterz’s answer and thought I’d add a bit, regarding pick-ups.

      I’d often wondered a bit abourt changing pick-ups, and about whether it was worth it, and ultimately just left my guitars as they were. Recently, though, I built an all-mahognay double-cutaway thing a bit like a Gibson SG. I researched pick-ups a bit and settled on Seymour Duncans. Welll, the sound of this thing is stunning, and Im sure that’s down more to Mr Duncan’s pick-up building than my guitar building. The clarity on chords, and the depth of each note you play is wonderful. Anyway I researched a few pick-up makes at the teim, and got their catalogues and so on. Rightly or wrongly, I got the impression that Di Marzios are aimed more at rock performers than Seymour Duncans were. They had people like Steve Vai, Blues Saraceno, Yngwie Malmsteen and others whose names escape me right now. Anyway, if you’re considering pick-ups you might want to take a look at both catalogues. I found them interesting just for the background information. Try their websites?

        I have been an owner of a Dana scoop since 94. I bought it because I loved the design, it plays incredibly and Alvarez is a trustworthy name. Little did I know the $500 I spent nine years ago would be a good investment as well. There are a number of people out there that will pay in excess of $700 for a scoop in good condition. Your best bet in my opinion is to leave the scoop alone and buy yourself another guitar. Fenders took a long time to beccome classics and with the average price of a nine year old scoop still above the original price I would say that you and I both have treasures on our hands! Enjoy your guitar, play it lovingly and hard like it was ment to be played but most importantly, don’t change it! Christian Koonz of One Intent

      : I have never even attempted to play the acoustic guitar…but desprately want to learn. What type, exactly, should I start with. Eager to buy my first guitar…but I haven’t a clue where to start.

      Try a few – in a shop, or guitars belonging to friends. I know its difficult when you don’t really know what you’re looking for, but you’ll probably still find some nicer than others, even if you can’t put your finger on what it is exactly. It doesn’t matter what it is about them, really, as its all so subjective anyway. So long as you don’t buy the absolute cheapest thing you can find you’ll probably come up with something that’s okay for learning on. You should find that any decent music shop will give you a bit of advice anyway. If in the future you begin to take it very seriously then you might want to trade up, but that’s probably a long way off and I don’t think that should guide your choice right now (unless you’ve won a lottery recently in which case buy what you like – I’d love a Paul Reed Smith, while you’re there) Good luck, and have fun.

      There are countless guitar players out there. There are so many players with different styles
      and techniques and 98% we will never hear. What I mean is that some of the best musicians
      in the world are working people who never made a dime off their music. I believe that it’s impossible
      to name any one great guitarists just for that reason. There are so many and it we wouldn’t
      be able to hear them all. Of course I have favorites though, such as Santana, Stephen Stills,
      Stevie Ray, Walter Becker, George Harrison, and countless others. But I don’t believe that it’s fair to name any
      one greatest player.

      The GFX 15 is a fine amp for in home use or very very light gigging. I enjoy the way mine sounds.
      It is capable of very sought after tones from clean ot overdriven. Crate has a nice sounding
      overdrive. Also, the effects sound good, too. It is a good value and I would recommend it
      for low volume applications. If you would like to use it at shows you could mike it through
      your mixer. I’ve done that and it sounds very good. Anyway it’s a good amp and I like mine
      very much. Hope this is helpful!!!!

      I agree with Erno, Buy stuff you can use. a GOOD cord if you’re going to gig. The worst sound in the world is cracking and humming from a bad cord during a gig. A guitar stand,and load up on High E & B strings. I like the strobe tune idea too. Good luck.

      1) If your happy with your electric, keep it. You can vastly improve your sound with good pick ups or with just an amp change. I don’t have any great advice on pick ups, (maybe someone else does)so I’ll go on to amps.

      2)am familiar with your Crate amp. I have never liked the way they sound. not very natural. The music store I go to all the time lets me try out gear at home for a week or so before buying it. Any good store will do the same for you if you give them a credit card #. If you do business with the same store all the time like I do, they just let me walk out with what I want to try with a signature. I tried about 6 amps before settling on one. Everyone has a different opinion on amps, just pick one that sounds great with your guitar and your style. As far as more powerful, are you not running through a PA? Are you using your amp as a monitor? Last but not least, maybe you need to look into some effects to get the desired sound.
      A multi effects unit might do the trick.

      3)Acc/Elec. Ovations have always sounded good amplified. Otherwise, if you already have an acoustic, buy an acoustic pick up, like a Dean Markley sound hole pick up. I’ve had good luck with mine over the years. Spending lots of 4164380 isn’t always the best answer.(it helps though) I’m sure you’ll get lots of other opinions, trust your ear.

      Hello, and Happy Holidays to you! If it was my last 0, and 4164380$ was getting tight, I’d think about maintenance. If it’s not a new guitar, think about a fret level and crown, and have your guitar strobe-tuned, for proper intonation. Some players do this themselves, but I’ve seen the joy on the faces of many guitarists that have fresh frets and a strobe-tuned guitar, done by a pro.
      Picks, straps, etc. don’t give the satisfaction of a well set up, well tuned guitar. Think about it! Erno

      allo. I recently got a marshall jackhammer for chrissy but i took it back cause i don’t really need it at the moment. I’m getting a mesa nomad soon hopefully, so i don’t think i need a distortion pedal. anyway, now i’ve got about 60 australian (about 0 U.S) in credit to spend. I’m getting a new cool amp as i said, i’ve got a boss me-30 and a gibson sg. what u guys think i should do? save up and get another guitar? new pickup? what!?

      keep in mind i’m looking to start gigging soon so I want something good live. I really want to get something that’s more necessary rather than just a add on show offy type thing, cause money’s gonna be getting tightish soon.

      if anyone has any suggestions please reply.

      I’ve never used any guitar midi equipment and am thinking about getting a Roland GR-33 or VG-88.Is it possible to detune your guitar on the fly to various tunings like the VG-88 with with a GR-33??? Can you add sampled patches to the GR-33 or create your own sounds or expand the patch library with new sounds in any way? I was wondering if you could add guitar sounds that you liked to the GR-33’s list?
      Thanks from Nick

      Fender has an axe dating function at their website. Also, the value is anywhere from 50-50 depending on condition. I sold a vintage MIJ several mos ago for 50.00. It was in mint condition. These are great guitars and are increasing in value.
      Hope this helps.

      1: The best nut material is bone (or mother of pearl), but there are perfectly good synthetic substitutes that you can’t effectively tell from bone. The saddle on a resonator guitar is made of wood.

      2: The best way to raise the string height is to have a repairman do it…preferably a little bit at both the nut and the saddle. It’s good to set a happy medium on the height of the strings so you can still use it to play regular chords and lead figures now and then.

      3: The best gauge string to use on any acoustic is the heaviest that you can stand…the heavier the string, the better the sound (unless you’re talking about a vintage Martin or Gibson flattop…you should have these looked at to make sure you don’t put such a heavy string on it that it injures the guitar), especially on a resonator guitar.

      If I could make a suggestion stay with the acoustic for a while I know it is tempting to want to go electric, but the basics are better learned on an acoustic. You can move to an electric later on, and by all means get a good quality guitar to learn with. Others may tell go cheap because if you don’t continue playing you will have not invested much, so no big loss.

      If you buy a quality guitar it will hold it’s value and you can always sell it and get back most of what you paid for it if you lose interest, but if you continue to play you will have a quality guitar for many years.

      Many new guitar players get discouraged and quit because their guitar is cheap, it sounds cheap and hard to play and it is frustrating. I don’t know about the guitar you have, but you can usually find more about it either on forums such as this or at your local music store, anyway that’s my advice keep on playing and

      Phil,

      I have been playing a strat and I am a devoted strat player, but I have come across some guitars, which are strat type guitars, but are way more awesome and the quality is comparable to a PRS. They are made by Gerard MeLancon and the classic strat version is a little more than 00.00, but it is well worth it. Check it out for yourself go to http://www.malenconfourm.com.

      : AND I CANNOT FIGURE OUT HOW TO TUNE THE MELODY
      : STRINGS ANY HELP!!!!

      Tuning – as per the other answer. You might want to think a little about arranging the pairs, though. Traditionally, the thin string of each pair goes on top, so that you hit it first on a downstroke with a pick. If the thin string was underneath it would be in the shadow of the thicker string, and you wouldn’t actually hit it. If you finger-pick, on the other hand (no pun intended!), you might decide that the above is fine for the bass E, A & D strings, but that for the G you want the thin string below the thicker string, so that you catch it with your finger on an upstroke motion. That’s how I have mine strung, as I hardly ever play my 12 anything other than fingerstyle, even though I primarily use a pick for 6-strings, both acoustic and electric. Don’t know why, really, but there you go. You might also want to think about open tunings, as they use a lot of open strings which allows a 12-string to really show itself off. I have my 12 tuned to open D and it sounds great.

      Are you sure you are using it right? If you push it toward the body of the guitar it will work. But if you do everything right and it still doesn’t work, take it back to where it was bought and tell the repair tech to fix it.

      In answer to your first question, there is really nothing to "know" when buying an acoustic ( I assume it is your first guitar ).It’s all about what you like and what feels good to you. Please DO NOT buy it on-line, play it first, play as many as you can. Don’t let someone play it for you. What is good to them may not be good to you. Don’t worry if you don’t know how to play any chords, just start strumming. If it feels good to you and you like the tone of the guitar then that is the one for you. Also, try not to buy the cheapest one you find, buy a middle-of-the-road model (if you can). It will save you time and a lot of frustration down the road.Good luck, I hope this helps! If you have anymore questions, please ask!!!

      First, what kind of guitar do you have? Second, what sound are you going for? Knowing the answers to these questions will greatly help you out. If you don’t know what sound you want, try taking your guitar to a music store and play each amp (preferably side by side) and whichever you like best… buy it. I hope this helps.

        To the last poster: You’re wrong! There were 2 issues of the bullet bass, the standard and the deluxe. The deluxe is different it has rounded covered pickups and is usually found in 3 tone cherry sunburtst with the Fender "F" plate on the back… If that is your bass you could probably sell it for 300-400 bucks, if not you’ve got a POS and you should break it.

      Basically, you described the differences yourself. The Standard doesn’t have the features you described, except for the body and neck woods. You are right the Standard isn’t made anymore Fender replaced them just this year with thw American Series. But, it’s a great guitar, if you really want it, buy it! It will not let you down.

      are you talking about the Strat Plus? the things you described are whats different about it. 900 is too much if its only a strat plus. but there was a strat plau deluxe and the strat plus ultra. the deluxe isnt even worth 900. the ultra had a maple top…maybe its worth 900. the deluxe goes for 700 at most. so it depens just what model of the strat plus you are talking about.

      : I am only 16 years, and i am in a rock band that also plays in night clubs. Anyway i am quite good on the guitar. I find the most effective practise being hard/difficult licks.

What i do is find something in a magazine that you are very familure with and try and play that. The more familure you are with it the better the practice it will be! If you can’t find any songs then just stick to some reasonbly difficult scales – to play fast that is. If you try and play them fast then you really start to pick up your speed and co-ordination between strings which i think is the best practise you can get! also get into the habit of trying to have a bit of a jam session with your band, because i know when i muck around and play solo’s and stuff, i really start to get a feal for what i’m playing! Therefore your enjoying your guitar and becomming better at improvisation and overall playing. Sometimes you have to play things that are not good sounding tunes but quite difficult to play. Playing difficult tunes is far more effective than repetion! That’s what works for me, give it a try, i think you will start to notice a difference.

      : Personally, it all depends on what type music you intend to play. If it’s bluesy music, I’d go with the telecaster, but if you want to play rock, go with the stratocaster.

      how ignorant can you be? take a look around and see how manby great blues players use strats…its the sound you are looking for that matters. SRV played some good blues and he played a Strat. Is Stairway to Heaven a rock tune? Page played a telecaster through most of it. SO much for your stupid theory.

      I have got a zoom 707 and i find that most of the sounds are good but as it only has two padals it makes live playing very difficult especially after a few beers.The best distortion sound i think is the comp distortion.

      : :1st. Tubes only. 2nd,1 amp OR guitar for that matter won’t cover the sounds you listed.For the money,an amp that will give you clean to crunchy/gainy but NOT distorted, get a Soldano Atomic 16. But you’ll need a 2-12/4-12 spkr cab to let the amp open up.It’s a 1-12 combo. I believe you can find new ones for 00ish at places online.Then add a good pedal for the Metallica sound. Good luck.

      For all your tones and much more check out Line6! I have a Flextone II XL and I LOVE it. The web site is awsome, you can download tones from a complete library of artists(including several METALLICA tones) and store them in your amp or on your PC.Check out the Flex HD(that’s my next toy),POD,and POD PRO. For the price you can’t get a better sound!

        Dusty, if you still have your "Fender Bullet Bass" and if it is in good condition, it is worth $250-350. The "bullet bass" was only made for about 2 years. I bought one last November in excellent shape. It is a very under-rated bass, it plays & sounds great. I plan on keeping mine.

      I’m thinking about buying this axe. Can anyone tell me anything about the American Standard "Plus" Strat? What makes it different from
      a regular American Standard? It has satin-finished tuners (Schaller w/locks) and LSR roller nut.
      It has 3 pickups (lace sensors). The body is alder (natural) and the neck
      is rosewood. Fender no longer makes the American
      Standard (think this one was made in 1997). It’s new,
      but is it worth 00? How effective are the features I
      described? How much should I pay? Thanks in advance.

      : I play in a three piece cover band. Should I go tele or strat for a style that crosses Andy Williams to Lenny Kravitz?

      Well, that depends on what you use your guitar for. Right off the bat I’d go for a Strat, because that sound matches Kravitz better than a Tele would, but if you are looking for a bright and twangy sound, and do not need a tremolo, then a Tele would be a better option. Depending on what kind of Strat you get, if its a low end one, the tremolo (after a couple of years) will begin to make tuning your guitar a pain, and will go out of tune very quickly, but if you get a decent strat (Floyd Rose equipped would be good), then you won’t have to worry about that.

      My Suggestion would be to go to your guitar store and just play the two types. That’s the best advice I can give you, because that’s the best way to decide. Good Luck, hope this helped a little.

      : Chris.J

      Some people get cynical about the following. Trust me, okay – it’s going to cost you next to nothing.

      Buy a metronome. Electronic or mechanical, it doesnt matter. Yes, I know metronomes aren’t particularly rock n roll – wear a disguise or something when you go into the shop, if you must. Draw up a list of 12 licks that you like. These are little phrases that you’re going to use in your soloing. They may be things you already know, or things you get from a guitar magazine, or things you pick up off a record. Doesn’t matter where they come from, and it deosn’t matter if you play them slightly differently to wherever they came from – you’re coming up with your own stuff here, ultimately. If you don’t have any licks and are completely stuck as to where to start come back to me and I’ll get you started. However you write them down is up to you. You don’t have to use tab or proper notation or anything else – no-one’s going to come and mark this or try and read it. It just has to make sense to you. Okay, so you’ve now got 12 licks. Right, find the fastest metronome setting at which you can play the first lick in time, cleanly, every time without fail. Note it down. Now do the same for the other 11 licks. Now practice all 12 for 2 minutes – time it – every day, 6 days a week (the 7th day rests your fingers). After a couple of weeks you’ll be aware that it feels easier playing these licks and you could play most if not all of them at a slightly higher speed. Fine. Go through them all and find the slightly higher tempo at which you can now play them. How fast you’re aiming for depends on what you want to play. I’m not trying to turn you into some kind of speed demon here. Listen to what you’d like to play and work out what tempo you need to be comfortable at in order to play along. Every couple of weeks, then, you can note down a slightly higher tempo for each of these licks until eventually you can toss any of them into a solo, at full tempo, without thinking about it, playing each of them cleanly every time. Your audeince doesn’t care about the metronome, or about how many times you got them wrong while practising – all they want to hear is those notes flying off your fretboard with absolute confidence when they’re listening/watching. Once you can play any of those licks that well, drop it from your practise schedule and replace it with another one. That way you’re building up your vocabulary of licks all the time.

      I don’t know who you listen to, so I won’t reccomend anyone by name, but if you listen to the people you like you will find that most top guitar players – whether they’ve learned them like this or any other way – do have licks which you find reappearing from time to time.

      Practice scales as well.

      If you need more help, or clarification on any of the above, come back to me on the forum here. If it sounds too much like hard work then either think again or take up embriodery!!

      Good luck, and have fun.

      Keith.

      : Hello electric guitar experts.

      : Jonathan here from Paksitan.

      : Just one question. I have a custom made { Mahogany, Les Paul shaped, beautiful looking solid body electric }.

      : Problem is, it sounds very average – poor.

      : My question : the pickups that were placed in it are cheap { from Tawain or China }, will buying better quality pickups improve my overall sound through my amp { which is a good quality Marshall } or must I buy a brand new guitar to imporve my sound through the amp ?

      : In other words will replacing my pickups improve the sound or does the entire guitar{ wood, body, fretboard etc… have that much of an influence on the overall sound of a electric ? What do you advise me to do ?

      : Please help ….. this could cost me hundreds !!

      : Jonathan

      I’ve got to echo what everyone else has said. If it sounds good unplugged it should be fine as an electric. If its well made, and you mention its custom built from mahogany, then you’re on the right track to start with. I’d go with pick-ups, but do follow Eddie G’s advice and try and play it through another amp first, and/or another guitar through your own amp, as the problem may be the amp rather than the guitar. I’ve just built a mahogany body guitar myself and I fitted Seymour Duncans to it. The sound is absolutely wonderful. I’d like to flatter myself that my craftsmanship is the key, but I doubt it. It’s the nicest sounding guitar I’ve ever played, and I suspect that’s down to Mr Duncan’s workmanship, rather than mine.

      I own 3 PRS guitars – an ‘artist’ grade custom 24, a McCarty and a single cut-away. The custom 24 is very loud, ‘in your face’ type of sound. The McCarty is much more mellow, and the single cut away is more like a les paul. But they all are amazing instruments. The playability and sound are unreal. They are second to none – at whatever price. The only downside is that the bridges on the single cutaway and Mccarty WILL pop high E strings, i believe due to their design. The retailer has replaced 3 bridges for me – and I just popped another string last night. Where the string passes over the bridge gets "burrs", which cut through the strings ( I play .010 eixars ) pretty quickly. The only solution may be to file it smooth, but this will cause the nickle plating on the bridge to eventually flake and chip away. I’m not happy about that at all – but am still working on a solution to otherwise flawless guitars. If anyone from PRS reads this, PLEASE CONTACT ME!

      A friend of mine found a page on Gibson’s website for dating Gibsons. Perhaps Fender have something similar. Have you looked at their site? Otherwise, you could contact them direct. I own an old Hofner and wrote to Hofner in Germany for details ages ago. They sent back a lovely letter – in a delightful version of English! – giving the date and where it was orginally sold. Perhaps Fender might be able to do the same.

      Has anybody made their own guitar using these materials. I’d love to hear from the pros an hobby

Could you please tell me the three best pickups on the market and any helpful information you could pass on to me, ie; price, where I can buy one and any technical info. you might have. thank you for your time.

      I’m trying to identify a pick-up for a resonator my wife has built for me and I contacted Seymour Duncan’s website. Anyway, they very kindly reccomended highlanderpickups.com. Having checked them out they appear to specialise in pick-ups for acoustic instrunments. I figure if a guy at Seymour Duncan will reccomend them they can’t be too bad.

      I only know two things about PRSs.

      First one. Paul Reed Smith built a prototype guitar with Carlos Santana in mind. He managed to get to meet Santana and asked him to play the guitar to see what he thought. Apparently Santana played it for a while and said yeah, it was pretty good, but this could be better, that ought to be different and so on. Paul Reed Smith goes away and builds another prototype, incorporating the suggestions made by Santana. This was back when Santana had stopped using Les Pauls and was pretty much exclusively playing Yamaha SG3000s. Anyway, a year or so on, Paul has finished his second prototype and he manages to get to see Santana again, after a gig. He reminds Santana of the last time they met, and that Santana suggested various improvements to the guitar. Santan says yeah, he remembers. He has a bit of a play on the new, improved version, and says yes, that’s better. I’ll have six of those. He’s been playing PRSs ever since. The story is true so far as I’m aware. However, I would point out that buying a PRS is not, repeat not, going to make you sound like Carlos Santana. It’s all in the fingers, whatever you’re playing.

      My other PRS story. I studied guitar for a while at the Guitar Institute in London. One day I was with a couple of other students in Chandlers guitars in Kew. One of the others asked if he could try out an efffects unit he’s read about in a magazine. The guy gets one out and my friend is looking this unit over while the shop assistant sets up a guitar and amp for him to try it through. My friend’s paying no attention at all to the shop assistant and is concentrating on the effects unit. I, on the other hand, am holding my breath because the guy has picked out an incredibly beautiful PRS for my friend to play through. My friend sits down, still concentrating on the effects unit, takes the guitar across his lap with scarcely a glance and begins to play, footswitching through the effects. After a while he stops and says, ‘Yeah, it’s really nice, but what the hell is this guitar because it is absolutely brilliant to play?!’

      Still not going to make you sound like Carlos Santana though.

      My guess is that this guitar was strung with .009 gauge strings. you will want to use those again (if you want a heavier gauge string that requires some adjustments to the bridge and on a Floyd making adjustments is not fun!!). As far as the brand of string, it’s all about what you prefer. On an Ibanez i’ve found that the GHS Boomers sound great, but that’s just my opinion. To change them what you want to do is 1)cut the balls off the end of the strings, 2)insert the end of the string into the bridge( there will be a small screw that you will use to tighten the string in the bridge) tighten the screw. You don’t want it too tight though otherwise the string can break very easily. 3) string the guitar as usual. You will need to tune it a few times once you get the strings on because the bridge has to adjust to the tension of the new strings, this may take a few times. That is really all there is to it. I hope this helps. If it doesn’t, take the guitar to a qualified tech and he will show you how to do it. Good luck.

      It really depends on what type of finish you are after. A basic nitro-cellulose lacquer is "sherwin williams gloss finishing lacquer, 24% solids". This is a great clear coat and can be tinted with appropriate dyes for any of a million colors. There are also custom fender colors from "reranch.com" High quality aerosol color matches. About 6.00 a can. Primers are important too…..

      The main thing to watch out for in a used guitar is the pickups. If they are ok then that is basically all that matters. Carefully examine the guitar and look for tiny problems like tuners – rusted, or pickup selector swith is rusted or dodgy! If you suspect anything at all is wrong don’t think twice leave it alone! If you are after a new guitar, if you basically looking for a quality guitar then go buy what the salesperson tells you! Ask around what the guitar is like quality etc! If you are interested in tone and sound a lot then go buy your ear! Your ear is the most important deciding factor when choosing the right sounding guitar. You can recognise a bad guitar buy taking a look at it’s hardware. Test it pull it, fiddle with it, see if it is sturdy and solid! The brand name is another vital factor! Usually a good brand will have good guitars. Dodgy brands will have bad guitars! If a guitar (2nd hand) is worn and looks scrapy chances are it will sound and behave scrapy! New guitars are the easiest and safest way to go to ensure quality! But the main rule is "go buy your ear first up, then buy your eyes"

      Good luck if you need any more help you know what to do!

      i would probably recommend something like a samick. Because these are fairly cheap guitars and will do the job for a learner. However if you spend that tiny bit extra, you can get a great deal! A great sounding guitar that will last you a lot longer! Yamaha has a broad range of "pacifica’s" which are a very good deal! They got voted best guitar under 00. I think they retail at around US30, so i would recommend this guitar for you! There are many other worthwhile guitars out there! But thew main message is look around for a good deal! Take the time to look and be completely sure of what you want before you buy anything!

      Good luck

      I kinda agree. Thing is there’s way, WAY more to becoming a great rock guitarist or just guitarist than musical talent, knowledge, skill or soul.

      The stuff that has a pretty damn huge impact is people skils and at the higher points looks. It sucks huge horse nuts but thats the way it is, especially these days. Even as close back as the 80’s there was’nt as much focus on looks or pr for guitarists, but now there is, especially for guitarists like vai who’re mainly instrumental. I think it really sucks but i also think that’s why those who we collectively consider great (vai,satch,eddie) are great. Either diliberatly or by accident they have/had the people skills and right look.

      And considering all of that, there’s also the fact of being in the right place at the right time. some bedroom guys might be great but never get anywhere publiclly.

      So basically there’s saddly more to it than just being a great guitarist.

      : I need some of your opinions on why people should play guitar. I really need your help

      99.99% of all guitar players are never going to make
      a decent living playing guitar so don’t make that your
      motivation.You might pick up beer money but usually the
      meager pay from bars, lounges, bar mitzvahs etc., barely covers strings and rehearsal time.
      There are lots of good reasons to play though:
      -it’s creative
      -it’s relaxing
      -it’s satisfying ( but sometimes frustrating )
      -it’s entertaining ( for others too )
      but mostly
      It’s Fun !!

      : I would go for the Fender Jazz. For your situation the Mexi would do just fine, it is pretty similar to the Americans as far as playability and tone. Of coarse the Americans are best but for the money, you can’t beat the Mexi Jazz. If you become the permanent bassist for some reason you’ll probably want to step up to the American but for now the Mexi will be fine. I hope this helps.

      Thanks a lot for your advice Phil, I do appreciate
      it.

        : how do i setup a floyd rose to C# without fucking up the harmonics???? plz help me..!! First off, what kind of setup do you have (not enough info…) you have to take off the back plate/cover and adjust the spring tension(if you’re dropping down to c#, Oh by the way, are you going to tune to open C#? or just 1/2 down with all strings and then dropped "D" tuning from there?) on my guitar if I look at the side of the floyd rose bridge (with it installed, of course), I can see a little rectangular shape (it’s actually a different metal) I don’t know its purpose other than a gauge to tell you if your spring tension is correct. Look at the rectangle and see if it’s parallel to the top of the guitar, or the pickup next to it, if it is you’re pretty close to proper setting. I don’t think it’s ana exact science, but it oughtta help……..

      Oh my god, you want to spend 500? You can get the top of the line professional instrument for that price. You could get a quality American made used one for a few hundred. Don’t get an Ibanez, they are imported junk, new Jacksons are imported unless you custom order one made in the US, and Jacksons these days are junk anyway (IMC bought the company in the late 1980’s). Gibsons are OK if that’s what you like. I don’t care for painted necks and the thick heavy bodies. I used to have a 1978 Gibson SG that played very well. You can get a good USA Fender or a Gibson on Ebay or in a used shop for less than half the price of a new one. If you’re going to spend 500 you could get a new USA Jackson if that’s what you want, or seek out a used one. I play "classic" and "modern" rock and I prefer the old American made Kramers. They are selling for a few hundred dollars these days and they are among the highest quality instruments ever made.

      : Does anyone have any good suggestions?
      : Preferrebly – Ibanez, Jackson or Gibson.
      : I am predominantly more into rock music so a guitar with a tone that sounds good for rock would be good!

      get a used one, because new guitars are really a rip off. it’s like buying a brand new car, the value instantly decreases and a good used guitar should last a lifetime. And there are PLENTY of used guitars available for a fraction of the cost of the same guitar new. The other thing is buy an American made instrument. The quality is ten times better, and if you decide to sell it down the road it will hold its value. Imported guitars are usually extremely low quality and have zero resale value.
      If possible, play it before you buy it. Even if you’re just starting out and can’t play a chord, just hold it and see if it feels "right." There are tons of shapes and sizes and features, and everyone has a different opinion of what is "the best."

      I’m selling an Ibanez Ar250 Artist reissue which is basically a double cutaway Les Paul copy- there in fact was at one point a lawsuit against Ibanez from Gibson- if my sources serve me right- at any rate- I’ve played it no more than 3x-honestly-in my house. the story is- I had another of the same model as my main guitar and a LP Double cutaway- they got stolen so i replaced the Ibanez as I could afford to replace it- Welll after I purchased it- I got my main guitar back. So I have no need for this one anymore- Comes w the case,Straplock and original or dimarzio replacement humbucker and is in brand new condition- 650 + shipping. check the Ibanez Website for pics or my bands page for the guitar I still use under Photos- and the Mindless Self Indulgence Show at Pearl St. Good luck-

      It’s whoever you think it is.

      I think that R&R has had three transcendant players. By that I mean they made such a mark that their influence is inescapable and inarguable. Not that there aren’t better guitarists from a technical sense, and none of the three are my personal favorites (I like them though), but all of them set the guitar playing world on its collective ear.

      1. Chuck Berry – he invented rock and roll guitar
      2. Jimi Hendrix – he re-invented it
      3. Eddie Van Halen – he made it three dimensional

      Now everyone’s gonna say I’ve forgotten whoever their favorite is, but being as this is my opinion not theirs I’ll assume I’m right until proven otherwise (that’s humor, don’t get in an uproar).

      My favorites by the way are Keith Richards, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Billy Gibbons, Joe Walsh and Jimmy Page. And about a hundred others.

By that I mean they made such a mark that their influence is inescapable and inarguable. Not that there aren’t better guitarists from a technical sense, and none of the three are my personal favorites (I like them though), but all of them set the guitar playing world on its collective ear. : 1. Chuck Berry – he invented rock and roll guitar : 2. Jimi Hendrix – he re-invented it : 3. Eddie Van Halen – he made it three dimensional : Now everyone’s gonna say I’ve forgotten whoever their favorite is, but being as this is my opinion not theirs I’ll assume I’m right until proven otherwise (that’s humor, don’t get in an uproar). : My favorites by the way are Keith Richards, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Billy Gibbons, Joe Walsh and Jimmy Page. And about a hundred others.

        Ithink the best guitarists i have ever heard would have to be one of these three (Jimi, Jimmy, and Eric). There are other good guitarists like (Eddie, Vai, Beck, Rossington from Lynyrd Sknyrd, Thomasson from the Outlaws, Sammy Hagar, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, and Zakk Wylde).

        As most stated, there are a lot of great guitar players out there. But ask rock guitar instructors at reputable colleges and music programs not "Bob’s Music Store and Guitar School" on the corner by your house and the same few names will keep coming up. The one that will come up the most is Hendrix. Period. Some others with a few surprises. The biggest surprise would problem be Keith Richards. I never thought much about him until I was forced to listen closely. Pretty cool.

      I would go for the Fender Jazz. For your situation the Mexi would do just fine, it is pretty similar to the Americans as far as playability and tone. Of coarse the Americans are best but for the money, you can’t beat the Mexi Jazz. If you become the permanent bassist for some reason you’ll probably want to step up to the American but for now the Mexi will be fine. I hope this helps.

      It’s not a very hard concept at all. Practise all of the scales (major, minor, inversions, etc…)that you know. Be able to play them forward, backwards, even in your sleep. While you are playing them, switch to a different inversion of that scale without thinking about it, this will help greatly! But, that is just the beginning, the main part is to have a good imagination and get to the point were you can play what you hear in your head. A good starter book is the Progressive Series Lead Guitar Book, it will start you off on the right track.

      Somebody else pointed it out too: if your guitar sounds good unplugged it should sound good plugged in. The probable culprit of bad tone is cheap pickups assuming the guitar sounds good unplugged. Not all Marshall’s sound that great either though…you should either play what you know is a good sounding guitar through your Marshall, or your guitar through what you know is a good sounding amp to make sure it’s not that.

      I’d put my money on it being the pickups before anything else.

      : : I cut new grooves and make some grooves narrower)??? How did Jimi do it???

      : I may be wrong, but I thik Phil’s right – Hendrix simply put the strings on upside down, as it were, and left the guitar otherwise standard.

      -I’m not sure if Hendrix reversed the nut but I have read that he wound his own pickups for extra high gain
      ( Star Spangled Banner sure sounds like it ) and also
      tha he bent his whammy bar more so he could get a 2 note " swoop " when he hit it with his wrist ( since the bar is right under his wrist when the guitar is upside down )

      : That just means to tune the guitar down a half step. If you have an electronic tuner tune to the E Flat, A Flat, etc.

      : If you don’t have a tuner, just drop them down each a half step (starting with the high strings, and checking them against each other)

      : Stevie Ray Vaughan pretty much always tuned down a half step, and a lot of the older VH stuff is tuned low like that.

      : and don’t forget Hendrix tuned 1/2 step down way back in the 60’s

      : today I just bought a 3/4 size guitar. I thought this size would be easier to play because I travel alot and I have small hands. I have tried playing a few chords but some of the strings will not resonate any sound…I have tried making sure every finger does not touch and other strings but this is almost imposible…when I put my finger down on one note and strum it it sounds fine it is just when I am trying to play more than one note at a time…is this just because I am a begininer and I need to work on getting my fingers around the strings or did I buy to little of a guitar?
      : If anyone could help me I would really appreciate it!
      Hi how are you? Look you might have gone out and bought a Lemon I don’t know. But your not going to get aa quality instrument like a good Acoustic Guitar very cheaply. As an example I own two Acoustics one is an Al Dimeola Signature Series Ovation, the other is a Taylor 710CE, each one cost me over ,500. The idea of buying a quality instrument of the bat is first of all, the heigth of the strings of the fretboard is extremely low, which makes it easier to play, especially for a beginner. I would suggest you trash any notion you may have of reading a chord book and enroll in classes. Do you have a Conservatory of Music where you live? Anything worth doing is worth doing well.

        don’t worry too much about it. That happened to all of us at first. Try to focus on keeping your fingers curved so that the tips are coming straight down on the strings. Typically you will find that when you play a single note, the form is fine. But when you switch to a chord, a couple fingers will start to flatten out and will dampen other strings. Practice on simple chords first (e minor, d, a ) once you start getting comfortable with each of these chords try switching between them. I personally play a taylor 710m ce and it is the best guitar I have ever owned! It’s a great guitar to learn with because you don’t have to push down on the strings as hard as the cheaper acoustics. good luck!

      : I play lead guitar as well (people say that’s unusual for a girl) and am going to buy an amp. I’ve been borrowing my dad’s. I looked at the Line 6 Spider with it’s floorboard and it seemed good. Does anybody know how good it is. I want effects w/o pedals and this amp seems to have the basics.
      : thanks
      : Brenda W. Hi Brenda, My advice to you is get a Marshall that is not noisy. And you’ll eventually discover that certain quality Pedals such as the Replex Tape Simulator are ver cool. I mean your not talking cheap here, this thing is almost 00.00. Voodoo Lab makes a Great Tremolo also. But don’t get a noisy amp, you’ll be sorry later. The idea that no one will be able to hear it when your Playing is nonsense. It’s part of the sound that comes off the stage, and it will certainly show up on tape analog or digital if you ever go into a studio. Good Luck.

      : They are all linked with regular cables (be sure they are all shielded cables, if they aren’t you will get some nasty interference). You can either use batteries or connect to a wall outlet. I’ve found that batteries work best, some of the strong tone gets lost when connected to an outlet, (just my opinion). The order doesn’t really matter, it’s pretty much what works for you. Generally you want to put your high gain pedals first (distortions, overdrives, etc…) if you use a compressor, that should go first. then after that it doesn’t matter. But, you’ll want to put your Reverb and Delay pedals last because the idea is to add reverb and delay to the tones created from the other effects in your chain. I hope this helps. Good luck. (In my opinion, switching to stompboxes is a good choice. They are easier to use and adjust and the effect generally sounds better than that in the processor.) I use an SKB Pedal Board, I like the Idea of the Pedal Boards built in DC9V Power Supply, they supply you with barrel to barrel connectors, and L-shaped 1/4 to 1/4 connecting cables. I use an AD-5 Boss, A Voodoo Lab Tremolo, A Boss Compressor, A Morley Volume Pedal, A TC Electronics Stereo Chorus Flanger, The SCF Pedal Doesn’t use an adapter it plugs into a power strip. They also provide you with a roll of tape with a velcro backing so that you can stick it to the board itself. Good Luck.

      I use Guitar Studio 2. This may be a late reply but I hope it helps. If using midi sounds doesn’t bother you too much then go for it! I use it all the time. I love it! It’s easy to use because Cakewalk provides tutorials to take to learn how to use it! And once you learn how its easy and loads of fun. You can even produce CD’s with it. There’s a bunch of preset drum tracks or you can use session drummer to create your own. Virtually unlimited undos (great for me!hahaha). My advice it to go for it because it really gets you excited about music and you can get more serious about music. GS2 is great if you don’t have a full band because you can program your own keyboard, strings, pads, etc. using either a staff or a fretboard tool. Also there’s a tuner and plenty of cool effects. Definately look at it.

The official transcriptions will save you time and frustration (i know from experience!) Warner Brothers, Hal Leonard, Music Dispatch, Note Music, all of these people have what your looking for. Remember to ask for Artist’s Transcriptions for the Guitar, don’t except anything else. It also cost’s more but it’s worth it, But don’t let reading tab keep you from understanding notation. Good Luck.

      I believe that playing a musical Instrument is beneficial. It enhances your capabilities in terms of memory. And it increases your ability as a wage earner. But I also believe that playing and not studying the Greats is a losers attitude. You can’t create music in a total vaccum, someone must inspire you to become great. I also believe that learning how to read music and tab is a must. Backing up a CD a thousand times while trying to figure out a solo of chord pattern is not the smartest think to do. Studying going through books page by page building technique is what you have to do, as well as playing scales. Al Diemeola speaks of Economy of movement, meaning having your finger as close to the string as you can get before striking it. Having your fingers to high off the fretboard is fool’s play. You simply can’t play with speed doing that. Using a Riff Master isn’t a bad idea either, that way you can take a fast solo like George Benson and spread it out and understanding the way the solo is structured on the front middle and end. Playing it at his speed is another problem. All of these Pro’s like Johnson and Benson use the Circle Picking Technique, Without understanding this technique forget about speed picking. It could take years just to learn how to do this. And someday down the road you’ll have a tremendous feeling of accomplishment. And then perhaps you’ll run into a young guy who you can teach. Enhanced memory, ability to turn a profit, satisfaction of accomplishment, along with having pride, and the ability to pass on what you’ve learned is something that I cherish. Remember anything worth doing is worth doing well.

      I bought a Taylor 710CE it had a bad Grover Tuner on the G-String. So I decided to buy a new set of Gold Grovers to spruce up the looks a bit, and guess what a bad Grover on the G-String. Quigley’s Music called the Manfacturer and they sent a brand new set out, the new one was put on,no problem. The gear inside felt like it was frozen the key didn’t turn with relative ease like it should have. I’m a person who studies fingerpicking masters like Chet Atkins and Jerry Reed and many others, so I experiment with different tunings such as DADEAD. When I tune the guitar to that particular tuning the Low E vibrates, it’s as if the gear inside the Tuner is not holding the string tight enough. Strange problem is it the Tuner causing the problem which I believe it is, or do I need to buy a more highly priced set of Tuners. Now when I bring the Low E back to pitch it stays in tune. Does anybody have an answer for my problem, if so E-Mail me and let me know. Happy Holiday Season to one and all.

Make sure the grooves are wide enough to allow the string to move freely as you tune. Also, a good trick is to grind up some graphite (lead pencil centre will do) and mix it up with some vaseline. Wack it into the grooves on the nut and bridge. This eliminates the squeeky-gate effect that is all too often blamed on the tuning keys.

      Custom shop pickups will definately improve your tone but the interplay with your guitar is critcal. I guess my answer is this, you need a good guitar first then add custom pickups to bring it over the top. Do you have a guitar that sounds good when not plugged in? If so, I think it is a candidate for pickup replacements…..

      Hi it sounds like you have pretty good gear, so what you need is an effects pedal! I had the same problem i wanted cool sounding distortion, aswell as reverb, delay, etc. So I decided to go for a Pedal! It sounds like you may only need a specific distortion or metal fuss, grunge pedal? Or the other option is to go for a multi effects pedal! I would recommend this because having a multi – pedal means you have so much to play with! It’s great fun, and so satisfying having heaps of efects! I can recommend many to you just give us an e-mail and I can help you greatly: Just to give you an idea, you can pick up reasonable multi effects units for around 00 – 00. I hope I have managed to be some sort of assistance! From Chris

      I would recommend the GT3! I have a GT5 (which is about 00 dearer) Anyway the GT3 is a fabulous effects processor and very cheap for what you are getting! I cannot however compare with the RP2000 because I have not played it, but it sounds to me like you want tone, tone, tone? So then I would recommend the RP2000. The GT3 is loaded with effects! In comparison the RP2000 is loaded with speaker simulatoins, emulators, ETC! The GT3 does however have great tone twitching options but is designed more for effects!

      From personal experience, BOSS has to be the best quality of the two,it also is a great deal! I am regretting my dicision to buy the GT5 because the GT3 is basically the same but cheaper! It does more or less exacltly the same thing! Very cheap! Very useful and is jam packed with options!

      I hope I have helped you if you want to know more, or have any other queries, I am here for your convenience!

        Alright, this is the way I did it by myself. I found out that a particularly good artist to learn some awesom solo riffs off is Kirk Hammett. I recommend reading not only "The Art of Kirk Hammett", which gives you many good insights on soloing, but also Metallica 83-88 and Metallica 88-96. These come with cd’s that have the solo’s in slow motion. Also, a subscription to Guitar World is good. There are all kinds of helpful hints and tips from artist like Steve Vai, Kirk, Dimebag Darrel, and many others. I’d say, the most important thing about about learning to lead is patience, and the biggest thing that kills that is tiring warm up sessions. If you’ll do these things, you’ll have shorter warm up sessions that will lead to better practice sessions. First of all, shake your hands rapidly side-to-side and up and down. Then, hold your arms out to the side, level with your shoulders, palms towards the ground. Next, flex your wrists at 90 degree angles to your arms in a slow, up and down motion. After you feel loosened up, Work out the fingers by rapid movements mixed with stretching. DON’T pop your fingers. this will drastically hurt your playing abilities in the future. I hope this helped. Email me if you need more help. Dave

      Hello electric guitar experts.

      Jonathan here from Paksitan.

      Just one question. I have a custom made { Mahogany, Les Paul shaped, beautiful looking solid body electric }.

      Problem is, it sounds very average – poor.

      My question : the pickups that were placed in it are cheap { from Tawain or China }, will buying better quality pickups improve my overall sound through my amp { which is a good quality Marshall } or must I buy a brand new guitar to imporve my sound through the amp ?

      In other words will replacing my pickups improve the sound or does the entire guitar{ wood, body, fretboard etc… have that much of an influence on the overall sound of a electric ? What do you advise me to do ?

      Please help ….. this could cost me hundreds !!

And I was wondering how you can get heavy ass sounds to music like metallica(ex. Aint My Bitch) without turning on the overdrive on my amp. And if you guys dont mind could you not get super techinal on me cause im relativly new to guitars. So, thanks for the info. – John W.

      My singer was using a Line 6 for a while. They do a pretty good job of nailing a straight up Fender Hotrod tone, in fact, most of the combo sounds were pretty decent. Stack sounds (Marshall, Boogie Rectifier, Soldano) don’t have that bass end push…the kind you feel in your chest cavity when you crank up. They also don’t look like they’re sturdily built. I’ve heard some stories about them falling apart after a year. (go to http://harmony-central.com and look them up in product reviews).

      Depending on what kind of music you play, you’ll want to look at different types and styles of amplifiers. If you can spend 000 you can’t go wrong with a Mesa/Boogie (look at the Nomad, Heartbreaker or Rocket Series). They’re kind of expensive, but versatile and built very solidly.

      I have a Mesa/Boogie Mark III that I’ve been gigging with for 8 years and it’s never once let me down.

      That just means to tune the guitar down a half step. If you have an electronic tuner tune to the E Flat, A Flat, etc.

      If you don’t have a tuner, just drop them down each a half step (starting with the high strings, and checking them against each other)

      Stevie Ray Vaughan pretty much always tuned down a half step, and a lot of the older VH stuff is tuned low like that.

      The Line-Out on a Hot Rod Deluxe (or just about anything else) is a pre-amp send…you can go out the line out to another amp. On most amps, it shouldn’t have enough power to run a set of headphones, and it’s not for that. The fella that said his headphones blew up…maybe you plugged them into a speaker out or something…

      Just turn the dern thing down and play quietly.

      : :
      : : To answer your question, PRS guitars are very good, and have a somewhat similar tone to Les Pauls, mostly because I’m pretty sure the guy who started Gibson Co. is one of the founders of PRS. In my opinion, PRS guitars have a more easily playble neck than a Les Paul, but it depends on the type, as always. My questoin to you would be if you think you need that nice of a guitar after 1 year of experience. I have a friend that went from a squier to a Gibson LP studio, but that was after about 5 years o playing. If you are sure you are going to be playing for a while and that you are getting steadily better, then a Les Paul or a PRS would be a good investment. But if you can learn to sound great on a piece O’ crap guitar (Namely your squire), then you will sound that much better when you get a really nice guitar. As far as a straight answer to your question, I would go with the PRS, as long as you check it to make sure that it is still working well since it is used. But again thats because it suits my playing style. PRS guitars lend themselves to a somewhat more bright sound than a fatter LP sound, but as always, it depends on the type. Hope that helps you out.

      : : [email protected]

      : Actually, the Gibson guy you refer to, Ted McCarty, is not a founder of PRS. He’s was a master guitar designer with Gibson in the 60’s (maybe 50’s also) and had a hand in many of their classic electrics. Paul asked him to work as a consultant on the McCarty series guitars (and probably some others also).

      Hmm, I did not know that. Good to know.

      I was wondering how to also, I know metallica uses it for a couple of songs and I was also wondering also but I dont exactly get what you said. BTW I have a digital tuner with 3 lights, one for too flat, one for in tune, and one for too sharp, incase it helps. Good for tuning to standard but totally ass useless for most others, it also has the stuff like 440 and junk if that also helps.

      : I’m interested to know people’s opinions of the guitars commonly associated with the 1980’s. Most younger players are only familiar with the low end imports made after these companies sold out to large corporations. Do people know about the high quality guitars made by companies like Kramer and Dean? In my experiences lately players think Charvels were made by Jackson!

      Hey I know what you mean. A good Kramer, Dean, or Charvel back in day rocked big time. Its hard however to find one of the good ones. I have seen how jokers replace necks and certain details on import Charvels so they look like the real thing. Kramer however is easier to find, you find a thousand used Kramer now a days because nobody else wants them, except a VH fan. Dean, is one of the companies that you mentioned, that has kept up the quality. Though non are made in america anymore, some of the Czech made Dean’s are pretty dam good for the money. By the way, the bulk of Charvels made were under the Jackson umbrella. There was just so many made out of Wayne’s custom shop, though they were excellant non the less

      Unfortunately Peavy is not regarded as a high end brand, despite the fact that most are made in the USA. Most dealers won’t even take Peavys. You may get about 00 for it on Ebay, which is your best bet.

      I’m not sure what exactly you are looking for. Your Charvel probably has an imitation Floyd style bridge made by Jackson. The best units made are Original Floyd Rose units, which include a locking nut. But if you’re not happy with the design of your current system, you probably won’t like the real Floyd Rose either. For 00 you won’t get anything anyway. A new tremolo unit is at least 50. It is also a major project to install a new unit, especially if you want to intall a locking nut on a neck that isn’t built for one. It will weaken the neck also. Your big problem is that you are shopping at Sam Ash which is very expensive. I would go to an independant music store and discuss your options with them.

      Personally, I wouldn’t choose either of these. They are designed for electric instruments (mainly). Since you are using acoustic guitars try looking at processors that are designed for acoustic instruments. I know DOD/Digitech makes one, I believe Boss makes one too. These would probably suit your need better than an electric processor. I hope this helps, Good luck.

      and yeah, i’m pretty damn sure there’s plenty of amps around 40(?) watts that’ve got headphone jacks. If u see one that says its got a recording out jack, that’s also a headphone jack, so there ya go.

I always said that if I could do what the bands I looked up to at the time did for me- then it would be worth it. And Now I’m there and I can say it’s worth it.

      For the Whammy and Wah effects, check out the Digitech Whammy pedal (I think is has a wah in it). But as far as the Distortion and Acoustic effects, you will need separate pedals for each.

      They are all linked with regular cables (be sure they are all shielded cables, if they aren’t you will get some nasty interference). You can either use batteries or connect to a wall outlet. I’ve found that batteries work best, some of the strong tone gets lost when connected to an outlet, (just my opinion). The order doesn’t really matter, it’s pretty much what works for you. Generally you want to put your high gain pedals first (distortions, overdrives, etc…) if you use a compressor, that should go first. then after that it doesn’t matter. But, you’ll want to put your Reverb and Delay pedals last because the idea is to add reverb and delay to the tones created from the other effects in your chain. I hope this helps. Good luck. (In my opinion, switching to stompboxes is a good choice. They are easier to use and adjust and the effect generally sounds better than that in the processor.)

      : To answer your question, PRS guitars are very good, and have a somewhat similar tone to Les Pauls, mostly because I’m pretty sure the guy who started Gibson Co. is one of the founders of PRS. In my opinion, PRS guitars have a more easily playble neck than a Les Paul, but it depends on the type, as always. My questoin to you would be if you think you need that nice of a guitar after 1 year of experience. I have a friend that went from a squier to a Gibson LP studio, but that was after about 5 years o playing. If you are sure you are going to be playing for a while and that you are getting steadily better, then a Les Paul or a PRS would be a good investment. But if you can learn to sound great on a piece O’ crap guitar (Namely your squire), then you will sound that much better when you get a really nice guitar. As far as a straight answer to your question, I would go with the PRS, as long as you check it to make sure that it is still working well since it is used. But again thats because it suits my playing style. PRS guitars lend themselves to a somewhat more bright sound than a fatter LP sound, but as always, it depends on the type. Hope that helps you out.

      Actually, the Gibson guy you refer to, Ted McCarty, is not a founder of PRS. He’s was a master guitar designer with Gibson in the 60’s (maybe 50’s also) and had a hand in many of their classic electrics. Paul asked him to work as a consultant on the McCarty series guitars (and probably some others also).
      A PRS typically has a neck scale in between a Strat and a Les Paul. It makes for a beautiful compromise.
      Since I got mine (about 5 years ago) my Les Paul has been collecting dust and I can’t think of any other guitar I’d rather have.

      I pretty much always played because I enjoyed it. I wasn’t really interested in playing to make other people happy or whatever, I just wanted to enjoy myself. I guess it aids self-esteem because when I can play difficult things, or write things that I like, I feel good about myself and I’m not thinking about anything bad. Not to mention I’d go fucking crazy if I couldn’t play to relax and get my mind off of shit such as finals. Also chicks always like guys who can make a guitar sing (not that this is why I play), think about it- Slash must have gotten laid more than anyone else in Guns n’ Roses, because he was the "mysterious guitarist".
      Aside from these, there are still lots of other reasons to play.

      Well I hate to throw in a contrary opinion to the others, but here goes… I think there is something to be said for owning a peice of art like a paul reed smith. I mean you could hang it up on a wall in the lounge and have your money’s worth right there, but also they are a versatile guitar, and you will be able to find any sound you want inside of one. You might want to think of this next step as a commitment to guitar. Most people go through three or for guitars before they know the one they want. I don’t need versatility as much as I need a guitar that has my tone, so I could live with a guitar that did one thing supremely well. Pete Townshend has a mammoth guitar collection, each one representative of a different sound he needed at the time! I’m trying to say you could save yourself a lot of money by getting a guitar now which does most things you need from it. And it shouldn’t depreciate like other guitars might. But certain guitars have a voice all their own, and are in the end more valuable to the player.

      I guess discussion boards are all about opinions… I plead freedom of speech for all forum users!

It has 2 12’s and 120 watts and some good effects built in. Are these good? Does anyone know? I play in a band as one of the guitarists. We do small gigs. I think that 120 watts will be good.

      It depends on what kinda music you’ll use it for, but I suspect 120 watts will be more than you need.
      Consider this: Do you want a very clean sound or a "raw" sound? If you want clean sounds, the Crate is an excellent choice. If you want "raw" sounds, get a 30-45 watt tube amp and crank it up!

      Whatever bridge P/U you get (I suspect all the "name-brand" ones are pretty much the same, really!), you’ll need a pre-amp or a DI to balance the impedences! DON’T cut a hole in your guitar to unstall a pre-amp…use an outboard unit!

      Hey man-

      The great thing about multi effects boxes is that you can assign many different effects and their parameters to change with only one pedal tap! Buying the amount of pedals separately might mean you have to encorporate a tap-dancing routine to get you next sound! This is not impossible- Have you ever seen Swervedriver play? Great british band, excellent innovative guitar tones, and they dont use multi’s. Their tech brings out a long plank with close to a dozen pedals nailed to it, then spends the next quarter of an hour connecting them!

      The way you connect them matters, not only for tone but also for what’s practical to step on! You need to make sure your connecters aren’t too long, but long enough to have the pedals layed out the way you need them to be. Check out http://www.guitargeek.com for some ideas on layout, etc. Swervedriver are in there, along with Vai, Clapton, Hendrix, Van Halen, to name a few. Great site! Batteries are unfortunately the most practical way to power your pedal. I don’t know about anyone else, but I’ve found I always get this hum when I ran them from the wall, and the tone is different. I like it better battery powered, despite the environmental issues… I recycle, o.k?! I’m not a bad person!

      Hope I said something useful

      A friend gave me a mid-80s Charvel/Jackson single P/U
      as a spare to my Les.
      The factory tremolo is the cheesy one-way tailpiece
      with the spring tensioners in the back and it won’t
      stay in tune even if I don’t use it.
      I’ve got 00 in gift certificates to Sam Ash, and I
      want to install a real two-way tremolo and locking
      tuners but I know nothing about the hardware.

      How easy are they to install, am I going to have to
      modify the guitar body? Can I find one for 00
      that will be an improvement? What should I look for?

      Could be a few things: Neck relief (neck rise). You could have a hump in the neck that is causing the buzzing. If so, a the truss rod would need to be loosened to flatten it out. You acutally want a silght bow to the neck. When adjusting the truss rod oly do it in small increments (1/4 turn) and let the guitar rest before doing it again. SOme adjustments may take 20 minutes or so to show any signs of results.

      An easier fix might be raising the action. This will generally help with buzzing ABOVE the 12th fret. Use the tuss rod to make ajustments from the nut to the 12th fret. If any of this info makes no sense to you bring your guitar to someone who can fix it for you. If you break your truss rod buy overtightening it you are SCREWED!

      You also may be fretting the string improperly. Make sure your fretting finger is close to the fret you are fingering… too far away and you will get buzz. Also you may be strumming too hard. Lighten up and see if this helps.

      Most guitars can not be buzz free – you might have to coompromise higher action for less buzz or deal with the buzzing with low action.

      My guess is that either your truss rod isn’t adjusted right, so that the action is too low. Either that or a loose fret somewhere. Your nut might also be carved too low. In any event, unless you REALLY know what you’re doing, I would probably take it to someone.

      Are the 450’s really bright? What wood is the guitar you have them in? Since korina is kinda bright I need something not too bright so the guitar won’t sound horrible. Do they have that nice, warm "buttery" sound? My real goal is to find something that can pull off Clapton’s "Derek & The Dominos" tone, but also be versatile enough for metal or punk when you overdrive the hell out of it. One more thing, when you play them clean, do they go to shit, or do they still sound good?
      Okay, sorry for all the questions, bu you’re only the second person I’ve spoke with who has used these, so all you can tell me helps.

      Okay, I’m still trying to decide on some pickups for my next guitar. What does everyone think is the best pair of hotter PAF- sounding humbuckers out there? I was thinking either Lawrence 450’s, Duncan Custom custom/Alnico pro II, Tom Anderson H2+/H1, or maybe Fralins (but those are really expensive). The guitar will be korina, so a little brighter than mahogany. All opinions are welcome. Thanks for the help everyone.

      Honestly, if you’ve only been playing seriously for about a year, I wouldn’t blow 000 yet on a guitar. Search everywhere for good used, albeit less flashy guitars. I got a gibson SG special (ferrari red) with a Duncan JB in the bridge for 00, and it’s the best sounding thing I’ve played. Lots of great guitars get overlooked because they don’t look gorgeous like PRS’s do. Many great GREAT sounding guitars can be found without too much effort or expense. It’s just my opinion, but I think you should upgrade from the squier without spending so much.
      Then again, opinions are like assholes, everybody’s got one.

        Ive become oddly aware that this fourm has been going on for about two years now and, overall, I find it errie how ones ignorance can multiply, but never be solved. Anyway, I hope I’m not too late for some of you people, but If I am, you should have seen that sort of dissapointment coming two years ago. http://www.cracks.am – Guitar pro 3.0 crack can be found here… just enter ‘guitar pro’ in the search field (note: there are a few porn pop ups here and there, this never used to be the case, but it is now, and can easily be dealt with). http://www.kazaalite.com – Download the sherman networks program ‘kazaa’ and use it to download the guitar pro 4.0 crack, or just straight out download the full version of 3.0. It takes a while to find the stuff, but it is there (Note: The link given is a host for the cracked version of kazaa, disabling spyware programs that are put on the original versions, this version is not a neccesity, but is strongly reccomended).

      Hi. Does anyone have any opinions on the Duo Jet reissues. They don’t seem too cheap, but I love the look of the black duo jets. I have mostly owned and played Fender Teles and Strats, and various Gibsons, and now Hamers. How would the Gretsch compare?

      Telecasters are great guitars, but you won’t get a good one for 00. Also, if you are looking for "Bad-ass" heavy sound, that isn’t what a Tele does. You are probably looking for a humbucker equipped guitar if you want a heavy, overdriven sound. I have several Teles, but I also have several Hamers which I prefer to the Gibsons I’ve owned over the years. Mine are USA Specials, which are more than your budget, but Hamer also makes cheaper imported guitars which might be a good choice for the money. Maybe others can give you an opinion of the import Hamers.

      It is true that articulating chords is one of the problems almost everyone has when they first start, and like Griz says, practice is the only way to overcome the problem completely. It’s not really a question of holding down the strings hard enough, an experienced player can play clean chords with little physical effort. The trick is to get your fingers angled in a manner where they are not muting the string next to the one its fretting. One thing you might try to make itg a bit easier for now is to have someone set the action on your guitar as low as possible, even at the expense of a little fret buzz. As you become more comfortable playing, you should gradually raise the action as high as comfortable to get the best tone, but for now, low action will feel better on your fingers. Hopes this helps.

      it sounds like beginner problems,everybody has them at first. The size of the guitar shouldnt effect the chording. I may be wrong but i dont see where it would be a factor. the problem isusually caused by not pressing down hard enough, or not arching your wrist enough. it takes time and some pain, you know no pain no gain, my fingers, especially the pinky bled before my fingers got toughend up. maybe this will help, maybe not, but dont get frustrated and quit, if you really want to play it will all come togather with time and practice.

      I reckon PRS too, because it more closely resembles the squire, and it wont throw you like the Les Paul might. The Les Paul is a weighty beast, and takes some adjustment getting used to it… what kind of style do you play man?

      It’s pretty damned hard. Like steel to cut through. Increases sustain and presence. I believe Rickenbacker use it on the ‘Cheyenne’ line of guitars and basses, with a light oil finish… gorgeous!

      today I just bought a 3/4 size guitar. I thought this size would be easier to play because I travel alot and I have small hands. I have tried playing a few chords but some of the strings will not resonate any sound…I have tried making sure every finger does not touch and other strings but this is almost imposible…when I put my finger down on one note and strum it it sounds fine it is just when I am trying to play more than one note at a time…is this just because I am a begininer and I need to work on getting my fingers around the strings or did I buy to little of a guitar?
      If anyone could help me I would really appreciate it!

      To answer your question, PRS guitars are very good, and have a somewhat similar tone to Les Pauls, mostly because I’m pretty sure the guy who started Gibson Co. is one of the founders of PRS. In my opinion, PRS guitars have a more easily playble neck than a Les Paul, but it depends on the type, as always. My questoin to you would be if you think you need that nice of a guitar after 1 year of experience. I have a friend that went from a squier to a Gibson LP studio, but that was after about 5 years o playing. If you are sure you are going to be playing for a while and that you are getting steadily better, then a Les Paul or a PRS would be a good investment. But if you can learn to sound great on a piece O’ crap guitar (Namely your squire), then you will sound that much better when you get a really nice guitar. As far as a straight answer to your question, I would go with the PRS, as long as you check it to make sure that it is still working well since it is used. But again thats because it suits my playing style. PRS guitars lend themselves to a somewhat more bright sound than a fatter LP sound, but as always, it depends on the type. Hope that helps you out.

Well, a Ferrari probably isn’t your best bet, and nor is a 1922 Oldsmobile, but between those extremes there’s more possibilities than you’d ever know. Try out a few – at guitar shops, or that belong to friends – and see what feels right to you. Have a look at what the people play that you like listening to. To some extent, you could even say, well what do I like the look of? Some people love big, hollow body jazz guitars. Others like sleek, pointy-headstock things. Neither would be unsuitable for a beginner, necessarily, though one might be better suited to what you play. Which is the next question: what sort of noise do you want to make?

If yu go to a decent shop, though, and don’t try and buy the absolute cheapest thing there, you’ll probably come up with something that will be perfectly acceptable for learning on. Once you start gigging you might want to trade up. Hope this stream of consciousness has been of some use. My wife says I blabber on sometimes…

      Ok, Its purpleDude again. I did some checking around on the web last night to see what was out there. I also just got back from a guitar shop. I held a few guitars there ( reguardless of price i wanted to see how they felt). I want a solid body for sure. I held a C& L guitar and really liked the molded back to it, where it fits against ya body, it felt real good, So I wanna go with something like that. I also have small hands and I found that I like the skinnier type necks. As far as what kinda tone i want heres a really good example, Transiberian Orchestra has a song called Christmas Eve(Sarajevo) or Carol of the bells , in that song they play a mean ass guitar ,its a heavy metal type sound to it. If im going to buy a guitar and learning i want to jam my ass off. Question is, Now that I have priced a few guitars, it seems my money now looks like a buck. So im going to have to go more on the cheaper side(200-300 just to start). If anyone has oppinions on telecasters Lemme know. Can I get what i have described from one of those?
      thanks for all replies

        Hi everyone who advises you are very wise on this issue, there is so much to consider, but if I was you I yould buy a Yamaha pacific 112, because it has a great d shape neck, it sounds good, its only £135 to buy new from say flying pig, it has loads of very good reviews. I hope that helps & give you a name to look at. bye Phil : Hello Folks : 100% beginner here.

      Man it is tough to get feedback on this forum. Well, here goes…

      I am looking for some opinions on the highly praised Sansamp PSA-1 and POD Pro preamps. I have a Johnson Millennium 250W head and though it sounds pretty damn good, I have heard the PSA-1 is simply amazing and that the POD Pro is also superb.

      Hope to hear from some of you. If you want to hear how my Johnson sounds recorded direct, see my mp3’s at

      http://www.geocities.com/b_huether/recordings.html

      Lots of people have told me they love the sound I get, but I still think something is missing…hopefully one of these preamps is the answer!!

      Tube amps need extra transformers and stuff which can make them a little heavy… the solid state Peavey Envoy and Blazer are even more portable, but they lack the tone and aren’t as juicy as the Classic 30. They have reverb and fx loops, might be worth a look!

      : Well now, there’s a story… New Zealand has two main islands, and a ferry service which provides a link between them. The ferries have these unusual machines onboard- if you feed them a 5 cent coin, and a dollar coin, they flatten out the five cent into a souvenir! Kind of oval and very thin, still with the serated edge and an image of the ferry stamped into them. The dollar is kept as payment! I discovered these machines sort of by accident one time, and made sure I brought tons of change with me next time, as they make the best picks! The tone is more harmonically complex, and if you want you can make it sound really harsh and offensive (cool :-D), plus if you use the edge of the pick pressed against the strings it sounds a bit like some kind of demented slide guitar, which I like to use instead of ‘yr cliched pick slide or divebomb effect… very twisted and sinister! Heavy gauge strings are great because they can take the abuse and put out a much fuller tone. Backing off the treble a little softens the tone, and the initial pick attack can sound like Brian May, although an AC30, a homemade guitar and his fingertips might help a little aswell!!

      COOL! WANT ONE!!!! Now I just need to persuade my wife that there are more palatable reasons for travelling halfway round the world to catch a ferry! Thanks, Lance, it’s a lovely story and I’ll spend the rest of the day grinning about it.

      : Hi,

      : I am looking to buy an electric guitar and don’t know too much about what to look for in them. Could someone please recommend some guitars? Here are some of the things I have been considering while shopping around:

      : *Price range: I would like to spend 00 – 00
      : *I will be using this primarily for recording using Cakewalk on my computer.
      : *I won’t be taking it "on the road" ( I don’t perform).
      : *I record different types of music; punky songs, pink floydy type songs, poppy songs. I do a lot of finger picking and often use open chords. But many of my songs use basic chords.
      : *I will apply distortion for some of my songs. Other effects I will be using include reverb, chorus, flange, delay, etc. I will also record it clean, without any effects.
      : *I want a guitar that will stay in tune pretty well.
      : *I don’t need a whammy bar.
      : *I want to get what I pay for (or more for what I pay for).

      : What are some good brand names?? I hear Gibson guitars are very good. Are there other brand names that make high quality guitars but aren’t as well
      : known and consequently have guitars for less money?

      : Please recommend some guitars. Also, if someone could recommend a website that talks about what to look for in an electric guitar, I would appreciate
      : it. I would also appreciate any other tips as far as what to look for in a electric guitar or how to get some good deals on guitars. What are good pickups?

      : thanks,
      : davidg

      I’d second what the others have said, but also suggest you have a look at Carvin guitars. They tend to deal entirely by mail order, which allows them to supply higher quality guitars at lower prices, as they eliminate the retail profit margin. That’s their theory anyway. Never played one but they have an impressive list of people endorsing them. They should have a website.

      Hey Everyone,

      I currently have a Johnson Millenium 250W head which for the most part I
      think sounds great, and it has excellent effects (allows dynamic modifiers
      which means you can control effect parameters based on dynamics of your
      playing). But I am wondering if there is something else out there that might
      sound better. By the way, what do others think of the Johnson? Whenever
      people comment on sound files I’ve posted (at
      http://www.geocities.com/b_huether/recordings.html) they comment on how they really
      like the tone I get. So in that respect, I am tempted to stick with it,
      but…

      Anyway, I really love high gain tone and sustain. Some of my favorite tones
      of all time come from George Lynch on Dokken’s "Under Lock and Key", and
      Nuno Bettencourt on Extreme’s first cd. I believe Nuno used an ADA MP1
      preamp on that cd. That preamp is no longer made though.

      So can anyone recommend either a head or a preamp that would get me a great
      sound? If I go with a preamp/power amp combo I don’t want it to be any more
      than 000.

      Some of the features I require: great clean sound (as well as lead of
      course) presets, direct outs (which need to be
      cabinet emulated like the johnson, or that have speaker cabinet, mic models
      applied so that the direct out doesn’t sound nasty), very high
      signal-to-noise ratio, awesome sound at low volumes since I record in an
      apartment and can’t rely on high output for great sound (which means tube
      heads are pretty much not an option). Also I would like to have built in
      effects like the Johnson.

      Maybe the Johnson is my best option, but I want to know what else is out
      there…

      Hope to hear from lots of you,

      Brian

        Kinda sounds to me like you’ve got the amp you need… I too have a Johnson Millenium 250 head and I have played many amps and tried many amps before I settled on this one. I previously owned 3 Marshalls and just love the valve sound, tone and grunt, so it wasn’t easy to jump into the digital world. The preamp valves in the JM250H do make a difference and make it a bit warmer than the Line6 which I A/B’d before settling on the Johnson. Stick with the JM250H for great sound at live levels as well as studio levels. I have found that I had to do quite a bit of work to get the live sound the way I wanted.I used to use the Rectifier model for over the top smooth distortion but I found that it didn’t slice through the rest of the band sound… we don’t mic our amps. The stage sound is what you get. I now use the Vox AC30 for my base overdrive sound because it’s a little grittier and closer to a real vintage overdrive. Plus my solos cut like a knife… sweet ! enjoy and good luck.. : Hey Everyone, : I currently have a Johnson Millenium 250W head which for the most part I : think sounds great, and it has excellent effects (allows dynamic modifiers : which means you can control effect parameters based on dynamics of your : playing).

      120 watts is a lot of watts! ;-D Some things to think about… you may not need so much volume if you’re only playing small gigs. Can the speakers handle it? Sometimes they can ripple or distort because they can’t deal with the volume of the amp! As for your band, how many of you are amped up? What’s your stage volume like? If you’re the only guitarist, you might need that extra volume and sonic spread of the Crate 212. Nuno from ‘Extreme’ uses Crate stuff, so I guess that says something about their tone/reliability. The onboard effects have won a couple of awards I think, so they must be O.K, but nothing does the tube sound better than a tube amp! Is this what you want? The Crate would be a lot more versatile, but a tube amp is the real thing!
      The Fender stuff is spotless, and for about the same cash you could get a ‘Hotrod deluxe 112,’ a nice amp with 40 watts output and 3 channel setup, which is plenty for most people. Marshall, Peavey and Laney do some nice stuff too, they all do tube amps that are within your budget. I own a couple of Peavey tube amps and they’re great.
      Tube amps are much simpler in terms of the noises they can make, but they interact beautifully with the way you play like a second instrument. The Crate has a lot more versatility, and maybe you need all the sounds it can make with those effects! Tube amps can’t do that… unless you want to buy some pedals!

      Hope I haven’t completely thrown you off!

      I would stay away from Crate amps in general, they are not very good amps( reliability, performance, TONE!!..). Even with the tube emulation circuitry, it’s not going to even come close to the real thing. Even though it sounds like a good deal with the built-in effects and all, you will probably be disappointed with the quality of the effects. And, since you play small gigs 120 watts will probably be too much. Try looking at the Fender Hot Rod series, they are great amps. They have great tone( they are all tube) and they are very versatile. They average 40-60W RMS but they are a very loud 40-60 watts. They are just better amps than the Crate’s. I think you would be happier with the quality you would get in the Fender.

      Hi Please can anyone offer any help on picking techniques or perhaps a web site. I currently play rather okay with my fretboard hand but I am worried that I am not getting the most out of my picking. I use a Dunlop USA 2.0mm. I normally use a mix of alternate picking & bounce picking, I am starting to sweep pick okay but not at high speed. Plus I have no trouble pitching harmonics. What I would like is something that shows you how different holds on a pick work. I know this sounds like a basic question, but I think it’s important. For example when I was learning to sweep pick, I often missed one or two notes, until I held the pick with first two fingers & placed the other two finger on the scratch plate. This feels very uncomfortable, but It instantly worked my sweep picking improved in seconds, later I found out that this position was used greatly in the 70’s. So if there are methods of improving your picking just by posture I would love to here about them. Thanks Phil G. Ps a web site with pictures would be great.

      Okay, I want to go about re-stringing my Strat Hendrix style (because I’m
      left-handed, and don’t want to pay extra for a lefty strat) so how do i go
      about changing the nut around…Or do i even have to do that (meaning that
      I cut new grooves and make some grooves narrower)??? How did Jimi do it???

      You sound like somone who is completely new to the guitar, yet you seem to know already the kind of sounds you want to get from it. It sounds like you’ll need something versatile, and to elaborate a little on Im2’s post, there is a difference in the sound of pickups: humbucking type pickups put out a lot of midrange and output, which is great for those punk rock distortion sounds you want. Single coil pickups have less output and midrange, which means they sound more ‘clean,’ better with a little chorus and little to no distortion effect.

      The quality of pickups varies a lot, and for recording purposes and the money you’re willing to spend, you shouldn’t compromise on quality. Cheaper pickups can be shrill or harsh sounding, and can exhibit unwanted microphonics, or high pitched resonances that can cause uncrontrollable feedback. Stay away from ‘made in Korea.’

      Look for neck and body materials used to construct the guitar. The kind of wood used has a big impact on the tone, as much as pickup type. Mahogany, as used on Gibsons for their bodies and necks, sounds deep and warm, but quite dark. Fender guitars commonly use ash or alder for their bodies, and maple for their necks, both of which sound brighter than mahogany. Fingerboards cand be made from maple or ebony (for a bright tone), or rosewood (for a warmer tone). Cheaper guitars might use plywood or poplar, both of which sound quite bright.

      Scale length, or the length of the string from the nut to the bridge, is different from guitar to guitar, and affects the tone and feel of the instrument. Fender uses a longer scale length to yeild a snappy tone, but the increase in string tension makes them a little harder to play. Gibson uses a shorter scale which mellows the tone and makes them easier to play, but have less sustain than a Fender scale, and can sound a little ‘plonky.’ How big are your hands? What feels right?

      Confused yet? It’s a big decision! It is easy to say stay with the big names like Fender or Gibson. I think you’d be just as happy with a full spec Japanese or U.S.A. Ibanez, and the Hamers are a high quality instrument aswell! Don’t go Samick, Epiphone, De Armond, blah blah. If you’re serious enough about your tone to spend that much money, you can afford to be more selective.

      Hope you liked the essay… I harp on a little, I know!

      Well now, there’s a story… New Zealand has two main islands, and a ferry service which provides a link between them. The ferries have these unusual machines onboard- if you feed them a 5 cent coin, and a dollar coin, they flatten out the five cent into a souvenir! Kind of oval and very thin, still with the serated edge and an image of the ferry stamped into them. The dollar is kept as payment! I discovered these machines sort of by accident one time, and made sure I brought tons of change with me next time, as they make the best picks! The tone is more harmonically complex, and if you want you can make it sound really harsh and offensive (cool :-D), plus if you use the edge of the pick pressed against the strings it sounds a bit like some kind of demented slide guitar, which I like to use instead of ‘yr cliched pick slide or divebomb effect… very twisted and sinister! Heavy gauge strings are great because they can take the abuse and put out a much fuller tone. Backing off the treble a little softens the tone, and the initial pick attack can sound like Brian May, although an AC30, a homemade guitar and his fingertips might help a little aswell!!

      Hi David

      For the money you are spending, you should be able to find the guitar youare looking for. Although
      you did not mention if you are looking for new or used. You have the right idea in first thinking
      about what type of stuff you are going to be playing. You should decide if you want a guitar
      with single coils or humbucking pickups. Humbuckers are less noisy and can give you more
      output (and more crunch if you use a dirty tone) and single coils are brighter and ‘jangly’ (think strat).

      For a brand recomendation, I recommend Hamer Guitars. In your price range you can easily
      get a used model. They are great for everything. I have 4 Hamers from a LesPaul style, to
      an 80’s Metal Type to a strat. All are versitile and great values for the money. They do have
      an import line that isn’t as nice. You can tell the difference by looking for a small USA near the
      Logo on the readstock. New USA hamers are out of your proce range but used they are an even
      better value. I am so confident in their brand that I bought 2 of mine through the internet
      without even playing them. They are solid.

      Gibsons are going to be out of your price range unless you go used also. They can be junky.
      Check out the little things like fretwork and finish to see what I mean. Because they crank out
      so many of them quality control suffers. Same with Fender.

      It all comes down to what you feel comfortable with. Check out this website:
      http://www.kamanmusic.com for hamer info. There is a forum called hamer freaks there where you can
      always find a good used hamer for sale.

      I have yet to play a pod but I have played a J-station. I like the J-station a lot. I actually own
      a Johnson JT50 amp which has many of the features of the J-station. I have used the amp for
      recording and it sounds great. From what I have read, the J-station is a bit more difficult to
      program than a pod but once you learn it you are fine. The pod is a bit more expensive.
      I have played a Line6 Flextone II that I really liked. It comes down to what you like better. Compare them
      side by side if you can. Ask the salesman at the store which he has sold more of and what
      people have told him about after they have bought each. I don’t think you will be disappointed
      either way. If you can, buy it at a Guitar Center or Mars where they have a 30 day return policy
      provided you dont destroy the product in that time.

      Hi,

      I am looking to buy an electric guitar and don’t know too much about what to look for in them. Could someone please recommend some guitars? Here are some of the things I have been considering while shopping around:

      *Price range: I would like to spend 00 – 00
      *I will be using this primarily for recording using Cakewalk on my computer.
      *I won’t be taking it "on the road" ( I don’t perform).
      *I record different types of music; punky songs, pink floydy type songs, poppy songs. I do a lot of finger picking and often use open chords. But many of my songs use basic chords.
      *I will apply distortion for some of my songs. Other effects I will be using include reverb, chorus, flange, delay, etc. I will also record it clean, without any effects.
      *I want a guitar that will stay in tune pretty well.
      *I don’t need a whammy bar.
      *I want to get what I pay for (or more for what I pay for).

      What are some good brand names?? I hear Gibson guitars are very good. Are there other brand names that make high quality guitars but aren’t as well
      known and consequently have guitars for less money?

      Please recommend some guitars. Also, if someone could recommend a website that talks about what to look for in an electric guitar, I would appreciate
      it. I would also appreciate any other tips as far as what to look for in a electric guitar or how to get some good deals on guitars. What are good pickups?

      thanks,

      Hi Everyone,

      I used to post a lot on these types of forums but have been out of it for a while (got married, etc). But I recently got back into recording. I wrote a new guitar instrumental called "Intensity". It is a rock/blues piece that I tried to have convey a sense of energy and intensity. I’ve tried to incorporate some techniques that I thougt would sound interesting (as opposed to plain old pentatonic). You’ll hear some chromaticism, sweeps, etc. It’s my way of trying to add personal touch. Anyway, let me know what you think. I have some other recordings I made a while back posted as well. All can be downloaded at the following url. Hope to hear from some of you regardless of whether or not the feedback is good or bad!!

      : metal picks? are you serious? whats that sound like? i’ve tried it on mine but it was pretty icky. anyhoo, i can really only suggest that u take the floyd rose out. as for the pickups dropping out often, thats pretty odd. u might wanna curb ur metal picked ways juuuuuust a little if u wanna save the instrument.

      : i’m really no pro on tech stuff yet, but my ears pricked up when i saw the metal pick stuff! hehehe

      : can anyone else help?

      Brian May of Queen always used (still does?!) metal picks – old sixpences. Billy Gibbons, similarly, I believe. I’ve always found them a littlel too harsh. Some jazz players use wooden ones, and if you live near the sea go and route around from some flat pebbles and give that a go. Experiment – it’s a giggle. I play ordinary plastic ones nowadays – it’s simpler.
      On heavy strings, I play 12s but I play older guitars, which were made when light strings weren’t around, so they’re quite happy with heavier strings. If I bought something dead modern I’d probably be a bit nervous about using heavy strings on it.

      : I’m thinking of selling/trading my Ovation 1984-5 Collector’s Edition and I don’t want to get ripped off or rip anyone else off.

      The only place you’ll get a real idea is in ads for similar items. The value of the guitar is always what sonmeone will actually pay for it, so any guide to value is of questionable reliability if you own a fairly rare item. I’ve had a couple of things over the years that are theoretically quite valuiable, but then you advertise them and discover no-one’s actually interested – or no-one close enough to where you live anyway. Have a look at similar ads and pick a number. See what happens.

      :
      : Who makes 7-string single coil pickups?

      Dimarzio. Possibly Seymour Duncan as well, but I’m not sure. I built a guitar a while ago and settled for Seymours in the end, but I remember the DiMarzio catalogue had Steve Vai endorsing a 7-string pick-up. I think it may even by DiMarzios that are fitted to Ibanez’s 7-string range from the factory.

      : G’day … I have a Tak acoustic/electric with a Peavy bass amp. Most of the music we play is blues, but we’re trying a bit of jazz. Is there a pedal I could use that would simulate the soft-tone one would get from a hollow-bodied electric? Thanks!

      Don’t use pedals much myself, but I do seem to recall noticing a pedal in a shop a while ago which was supposed to give an acoustic guitar sound when you play an electric guitar through it. Don’t see why it shouldn’t work for bass. I think it was made by Boss, but it might have been DOD. Check out their websites, or a dealer or something. Sorry I can’t remember any more than that, but if it works for bass, the thing you’re after is out there.

      : I would recommend a new American Strat. The American Series replaced the American Standard series just this year, so either one would be fine. I own two American Standard Strats, one is a ’99 Hardtail and the other a 40th Anniversary Strat. The Standards are the best Strats, in my opinion, because when you start changing pickups and stuff like that, you change the original "Strat" tone. Also, the Standards hold their value better than the other modified versions. As far as a pre-’86, if you want original Fender quality you would have to buy a pre-’65. CBS bought Fender in 1965 and the concern became quantity over quality. I would stay away from the CBS years Fenders, (’65-’84). But really anything after that is fine. Fender regained control of its operations at that time and the quality returned. But I would opt for a new Strat because they just keep getting better. And, you can easily buy an American Standard Strat with your given price range,(and even have some money left over to buy some more gear with!)Anyway, I hope this helps, good luck.

      I wouldn’t disagree with any of teh above answer, but would point out that Hendrix – who you’ve mentioned an interest in – only ever played post-65 Strats. The preference for pre-CBS Strats arose later, and he wasn’t part of it. Post-CBS Strats has quite large headstocks – huge compared to earlier models – and are therefore quite distinctive. I don’t think I’ve ever seen photos or footage of Hendrix playing a smaller-headstocked Strat. Make of that what you will.

      : Could somebody puh-leeze give me the correct chord changes to Alright Now by Free. For the life of me, I can’t get it right. I read an interview by Paul Stanley of Kiss that Paul Kossoff overdubbed guitars to create those changes, but after hearing Paul Rodgers backup group pull it off live (with Howard Leese of Heart as guitarist), I know that you only need one guitar to play it CORRECTLY. HELLLLPPPPP!!!

      Have a look around and I’m sure you’ll find some footage that you can get an idea from. The film I’ve seen of them lpaying it Paul was playing a Les Paul through an Orange stack, if I remember correctly. Can’t remember the chords without a guitar in my hands but I think you’ll find Robb’s about right with his answer. I’d also support Ratbox’s point as well, though – the experimenting and trying to get it is all part of hte learnign process and will bring you your own things along the way. I know that’s not much comfort when you’re tearing your hair out trying to work it out, but it is worth remembering.

      : does anyone gots any suggestions for a good amp i should get? I’m looking for a versitle amp. I want a reeeeeeeeeallllly sexay dist sound, but i also want a good clean channel. I’m told the nomad has these, but i’m willing to look round. anyone know about laney or anything else round the 2000(australian) mark? I think thats about 1000 u.s.

      : thanks fellas.

      Got to be a valve amp. Check out Mesa Boogie or Fender. Marshall, too, though they don’t do it for me. Don’t be afraid to get second-hand stuff. These things last really well, and you’ll be able to afford a far better amp second-hand than you could get new. A valve distortion pedal into an old single channel valve amp is wonderful, but you can get similar sounds with more recent valve gear. Be very wary of transistor amps if a good distortion sound is important to you – they generally tend to be quite harsh. (Of course I risk opening a huge can of worms here – they’ll all come out of the woodwork saying they’ve owned a transistor amp that sounded far better than anything ever made with valves in.) Try them out, listen carefully, don’t make a rush decision, and go with what feels right to you.

      a friend of mines got that amp, she just uses an me-30 (multi fx unit) tho, but i think she might do it how ur doing it. as far as i know, u’d go from the pre-amp out into the pedals. then go from pedal to pedal and ra ra ra. then just take the last pedal in the chain and put it into the power amp in. watch the volume if it has it on the last pedal. cause i don’t think the amp vol controls will work, but i really don’t know. but screw around with this setup and see if u get anywhere with it

      Hi I’m not a very good Jazz player but my mate is here & has one of these & has he is here your in luck, His Carvin AE185 has 24 frets, mahogany neck with a maple top, 2 humbuckers a phase switch and dual to single coil switch, piezo pickups, blend control, treble boost/cut for the piezo pickup, plus a active treble boost/cut for electric pickups, acoustic style bridge, sperzel locking tuning pegs, plus his came with a case.
      He like this guitar because it give a reasonable number of sounds, from thin to medium jazzy, or a even an acoustic sound. It’s his main guitar. & he play it though either an acoustic amps or his tube electric! Plus I think this thing is great for feedback, he gets this easy, probably because its acoustic response; just turn your body a little this way or that and off it goes! According to him the sound is perfect for Jazz as it’s deep, full and rich with plenty of sustain. I just wish I had one. Phil G

      : I’m considering buying a Carvin AE185 for soft jazz & new age and/or a CL450 for classical. Anyone own either of these? Are they really as great as the literature claims?

      I have a small (classical?) guitar with flamenco style tuners. It is about the size of a Martin model 2 and has a laminated rosewood back but solid rosewood sides with a solid spruce top. The neck is cedar with a V-spliced headstock. All binding is wood with plain wood bands around the sound-hole Inside is 5 fan braces and and on the underside of the soundboard is a pencilled signature. The first word is Goold,then either Maker or Makev or even Malcev. It came with a metal tailpiece and a curved fingerboard, but I think they might be later additions. It’s very well made and appears very old, but in good condition. Any suggestions?

      Hi there,
      Anyone interested in the first good (naturally) sounding
      TubeAmps/Cabinets/MicPositions simulator?
      The name is BZ-Amps and it really sounds amazing!!!
      Every venue’s sound engineer wants your amp turned down
      not to mess with their weak stage monitors?
      Have problems recording at home – not allowed to crank up the beast
      or your wife/girlfriend will get crazy?
      The BZ-Amps offers:
      – Gain;
      – Cabinet Type (4×12 or 2×12);
      – Amp Type (JZ to US to BR gradually);
      – Mic Position (Center or Off-Axis);
      – Output Level;
      – Built in soft-knee peak limiter;
      – Balanced (XLR) out and Unbalanced out (phone jack);
      – Ground lift;
      – and much more…
      It is portable – around 8-3/16" x 5-5/16" x 1-5/16",
      acyually a half rack unit.
      The price is less than a good pedal because it is manufactured in Bulgaria!

      Let me know if interested, or read more at:

      Hi Brenda,
      How about a virtual band – I mean through internet. This way we coud compose, arrange,
      record, master and finally produce some great tunes. Joe Satriani (though in different style)
      did his latest album this way… and he earns a lot ;-)))
      The reason is I am living in Bulgaria and my band’s singer (female) left us for other carreer.
      Just take a look at our site at: http://members.nbci.com/boro5xl/

      We are not your plain bluesers – I could send ou some MP3s to check our sound and style.
      Looking forward to hearing from you soon, I remain
      Yours sincerely,

      Boro

      My mark is a good sounding amp that I got a hold of from a guy getting rid of it. Its sounds sweet, there is a whole deal of different inputs in the back of the amp, but I dont know what they do. I dont even know if the speaker jack is pluged into the right input. I heard there are different ohms setting in each input. There are two right next to each other. There arent any discriptions anywhere. I heard there was several different versions of the 1978 MArk 1. My mark 1 has the EQ, no reverb, no presence, volumes 1 and 2, 2 inputs in the front, 60 rms/100rms switch. I asked mesa boogie for the manual and all they sent me was a maintnance guid just in case it broke down. Dosnt really say what everything does. Would really appreciate the help. Thanx, Will

      I have a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe and I use a bunch of stompboxes. I was told that the Power Amp In and Pre-Amp Out can be used as an effects loop(the amp doesn’t have effects send and return jacks). Is this true? If it is, how do I connect my effects to it since there is only one input and one output on the effects pedals? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

      Midrange! Your Gio should have tons, and I liked the ‘wah-wah on’ suggestion. Have a play around with small tube amps and see what you might find- wind the bass off ’till about 9 o’clock, treb on 12 o’clock, mid and master vol. cranked, with a little bit off fizz on the preamp vol. A 15-20 watt tube amp should give a pretty good impersonation, like a pro junior or classic 20. It would be an ideal step up from that Ibanez practise amp!

      Your collective wisdom is appreciated… I play a JS 100 which is on the brink of destruction! I have performed pickup transplants, single coil surgery, and heavy gauge strings trying to extract good tone. Nothing has gone down too well, the neck and floyd trem hate 12-52’s, and I seem to go through pickups too often- heavy handed technique and metal picks seem to mess with them a little… anyway, I love the tone I get from the strings, and I’m not going to curb my technique. I like the tone of Ric 620’s and Dou-jet’s, can they handle it? How do you other heavy gauge players deal with the instability, etc. ?

      I’ve never seen a dedicated Reverb pedal. But, I have the Boss RV-3, which is the Digital Reverb and Delay pedal. It is a great pedal, the Reverb is excellent. No, having a digital pedal (digital delay, for example) will not cause the rest of your signal to become digital. The only thing that is digital is the certain digital effect. I hope this helps a little. Good luck.

      I guess it’s because people think that if you can play faster than everyone else you must be better than everyone else. You can’t get anymore wrong than that! There is nothing wrong with speed playing when it is combined with emotion. But if you are playing really fast just to show people how fast you can play, the whole meaning of music is gone.

      If you want a Boss pedal, I would suggest either the Blues Driver or the DS-1 Distortion. On the DS-1 you would have to set the tone knob a little left of center to get a good full tone. If you want alot of sustain and distortion for a good lead tone try the Electro-Harmonix Big Muff. It is a great pedal too. Good luck.

      Ok here goes- on a previous discussion on here- someone mentioned running some pedals thru the fx loop can potentially burn out a pedal. I recently bought an ADA Flanger- original- when I run this and/or my EH Bad Stone through the fx loop on my Marshall JCM 800 2205- there is a signifigant volume reduction. On the ADA my tone actually gets really muddy -MY EH Small Clone re-issue works great throught the loop. Every article I’ve read on running fx thru the loop state- things like Flange,Delay,Chorus Etc- sound best in the loop as to not get muddied. Is there too much voltage going to my pedals thus the volume reduction- I’m running these 2 pedals thru the front now- any insight would be great- thank you-

      yes gloss is more durable & hardwaring but it shows all the dents & scratches that guitars pick up & then it looks shit, where as a fuck up satin guitar looks more authentic when battered.

      : I was wondering what the differences b/w a satin finish and a gloss finish, besides the look. I figure the gloss is more durable, but is the satin really that bad? Is there any difference in sound? thanks.

      I agree, and the answer to your query is simple, It is becuase no other person can do it, there will always be someone who is the fastest. Like you stated it doesn’t mean that the composition is the best, I love to play gilmours stuff, & with practice you can get his songs nailed, yet no matter how much I practice sweep picking I can’t get up to speed to play my fav Zappa stuff. I don’t give a fuck what anyone says, speed counts. It’s making sound good thats hard, phil

      The pedals below should get you the sound, I know it sounds stupid but get a video of page playings ie song remains the same, a great deal of his tone does come from the way he plays, he is very flat fingered & previos notes run in to existing notes a typical example is the simple to play black dog. I love playing Zep stuff, with breakdown it’s almost impossible to play if you use a squeky clean style. Hey perhaps you already play like this, but I thought I’d let you know, as it took me a great deal of time to learn his style.

      : Stay away from the Boss SD-1! Crapola!! Try to get an

      all great pedals, I like the ts-9 but everyone has one, I prefer a Marshall bluebreaker, but you should go for a marshall jackhammer as you get a nive overdrive as well as distortion channel, plus a danelectro, chorus pedal would be a nice addition to the list below, also a great way to get a wider sound when playing lead is use a stereo pitch shifter, an shift the left down by just 10% & the right up by 10% I gives a chorus thicking effect without the warbling effect. but if you get nothing else buy a crybaby it’s as esstential as strings themselves

      : The TS-9 is good for rock rythym.When recording rock rythyms I use a Chandler Tubedriver(rack).The Boss DM-2
      : or DM-3 analoge delay,MXR Flanger,Boss BF-2,Maxon chorus,of course a Cry-baby.
      : Good Luck

        As I heard one person say, strings are very important. But another thing is the pick-up you are using. try using a hot Pick-up like a Dimarzio Tone Zone, Fred or P.A.F. All three have a sound like a wah, that is wide open. after that use a DS-1(boss super overdrive) & a chorus pedal CH-1(boss super chorus). Set The DS-1 (drive 2/3, tone 1/2 ,level as loud as You want. Set the CH-1(E,level 2/3,EQ 2/3, rate at min,and depth at max). Marshall or Fender Tube amps. Have fun.

      After listening to his (rather boring and most unimpressive) compositions, I think Chris Impellitteri may actually rip the fingerboard faster than Malmsteen or Vinnie Moore. Naturally, this results in needlessly long and out of context soloing, very monotonous and ordinary riffs and zero melody. Now someone like Satriani who plays at a tenth of the speed of the above can really liven up a song through sheer melodic playing, something that Malmsteen (IMHO) and Impellitteri definitely lacks. What is it about speed that is such a turn on?

My guess is, Steve was first to go and when the drums kick in Yngwie takes over. No info of such a recording exists on Vai’s site. Do any of you guys know anything about this? I also heard a rumour that Vai gave neoclassical a shot with his rendition of Malmsteen’s Black Star.

      BUY THE FENDER!!! I have a Hot Rod Deluxe and it is the best amp I have ever owned (I’ve owned a few). The volume is sensitive but that is a good thing. It doesn’t need to be turned up loud to get a good tone. No, it doesn’t have a headphone out. I also use the Boss DS-1 among a handful of other Boss pedals and it sounds great. I would also recommend the Boss Blues Drver. They both sound excellent. The amp and pedals are a great match. I hope this helps, Good Luck.

      Hi Dave. You should re-list your needs in a more specific request. There are plenty of parts dealers, but the brand of parts is important. Try the Vintage Guitar Magazine ads. Often there are parts for sale in their classified advertizements by private sellers.
      E-bay is the most diverse and probably your best bet, but remember, parts don’t magically fit on any guitar body, so choose wisely because you may not be allowed the luxury of a return. Erno

I think he wrong we aren’t musical whimps & I thinks he said that so we would do the test. Fuck he is a psychology professor or something. thrasher, later

      What kind of pickup do you have ? If you have a magnetic pickup in the soundhole then take a look at the Boss Blues Driver, this pedal is amazing. It will give you all of the tones you are looking for. If you have a regular piezo pickup, there is not much you can do. If you want a good jazz tone then look into replacing your piezo with a magnetic pickup.

      Does she really want to play the guitar? If she does then don’t buy a Squire! They are cheap in quality and won’t last very long. Consider buying her a Mexican Fender Strat. It’s a great guitar to learn on because it is a strong, well-made guitar for a beginner. Those will cost about 00. For a starter guitar, you just can’t beat it. I hope this helps. Good Luck!

      This is a tricky question cause different pickups have
      different schemes.Seymore Humb.Green=Hot,Dimarz.Red=Hot
      Lawrence Black=Hot.In most cases black wires are ground
      wires.Solder this to the tone pot.Try touching the others to the pickup select switch.Use a screw driver
      for testing(tap it on p.u.).The if there is buzzing, then pickup is in single coil mode.It’s really trial and error,if there’s no guide sheet with pickup.

      hey shaun… isn’t this a great advice site? i’ll give you my opinion of classic guitars….
      you obviously know the differences between the two, which if definately a place to start thinking….
      for those virgin fingers, a classic definately goes down better vs. steel if you don’t want your fingers to be like rags when you first start. as for sound, folk, or steel string guitars have balls. classics are, in my opinion, more of a gentle, strummy sound, the kind you’d sit around a camp fire with. i’m not saying classic are horrible. you can learn the same basic beginner techniques on both of course; it may take a little longer on steel strings and be a little more frustrating, but if you’re investing, and are going to be in it for the long run, i’d go with the folk guitar.
      take care and good luck, amanda

      Snookdude,

      Thanks for your response to my Strat posting. We have something in
      common – big hands! I haven’t played in a band since the early 70’s
      (nor at all since), and want to buy an axe to play around with at home
      and have some fun.

      So you recommended the SRV series. What year should I look for? New,
      old? What is an LSR roller nut?

      Sounds like you’ve settled with Ibanez. Why do you like it compared to
      the hundreds of others you’ve played over the years? What model do you
      recommend I look at? Solid body? What year? Thanks again in advance.

      : Hello. I also have have big hands. The most comfortable Fender neck I’ve found is the SRV series.

      I’m going to second the SRV for very comfortable to big hands. I tend to prefer Gibson necks as they’ve always just "fit" better. The SRV strat is more than 000, though. Maybe you should buy warmoth parts and built a strat to your specs (they’ll finish them for extra $ if you’re not a do-it-yourself-er) you could pick the wood for body, neck and fingerboard, etc., and get pickups you want like kinmans or fralins or lawrences. That way you could get a strat with a big comfy neck if you wanted, and probably spend within your price range. I had a guitar teacher who got a Warmoth body that looked (and sounded) really good (he just finished with tung oil, I think) I don’t know if the finishes they do are really great or not. Anyway, I would give it a look if I were you (www.warmoth.com). You couls get a nice chambered, quilted maple topped strat with a neck of your choice (about 13 choices I think) an ebony fretboard, etc., all you’d have to do is put it together, which is the easy part. I personally think that a lot of new fenders are overpriced (as are most guitars), and I think assembling your own would be cheaper, and more gratifying (I built one guitar, and although it’s not the best one I own at all, I’m still really proud). Do what you want though, that’s just my 2 cents.

      Also look at the strat plus series with the LSR roller nut. That also had a nice neck if I remember correctly.

      Personally the neck is the most important part. You can always change the pickups to suit your taste.

      After playing hundreds of guitars I’ve settled on Ibanez. Easiest playing neck for my fingers.

      I would recommend a new American Strat. The American Series replaced the American Standard series just this year, so either one would be fine. I own two American Standard Strats, one is a ’99 Hardtail and the other a 40th Anniversary Strat. The Standards are the best Strats, in my opinion, because when you start changing pickups and stuff like that, you change the original "Strat" tone. Also, the Standards hold their value better than the other modified versions. As far as a pre-’86, if you want original Fender quality you would have to buy a pre-’65. CBS bought Fender in 1965 and the concern became quantity over quality. I would stay away from the CBS years Fenders, (’65-’84). But really anything after that is fine. Fender regained control of its operations at that time and the quality returned. But I would opt for a new Strat because they just keep getting better. And, you can easily buy an American Standard Strat with your given price range,(and even have some money left over to buy some more gear with!)Anyway, I hope this helps, good luck.

      Hi,

      I would say go for a new one aspecially if you will keep it forever. When you buy second hand you can resell it something like the same price that’s the only advantage. Buying a new one gives you a lot more choice and they are good. I would buy an American Standars (they are not to expensive since there is a new serie the American series) They are good guitars and you can always change the pups later if you are not content. I’ve got two myself one totally standard and one with Texas Special pick ups. I think the biggest buulshit I’ve even heard is that they were better before ’86. I think it’s the other way around 70-ties Fenders mostly suck (had two) and after ’86 they were bach with logical lines and constant quality. Some 70-ties are great but the lot is crap, from ’86 they are at least all okay.
      Hope I helped you a litle.

      I own a secondhand bedrock series 600 guitar amp (5 valves, 100 Watt
      speaker, 2 channels) but I haven’t got any information about it,
      because Bedrock doesn’t exist anymore. If anyone has got any or if you
      own one too; Please send me some information or the user manual

      to: [email protected]

      If you have any idea about the price and quality, also let me know,
      because I want to know if I could get a better amp for the same price
      (I dont really like the sound of it and we’ve just started a little
      group)

      Thanks

      : What exactly is the heel, and the cutaways of the guitar?
      The heel is the portion of the neck that joins to the guitar body.
      The cutaway is the access provided to the higher frets by building the guitar with an area "cut away" from the body. A les paul has 1 cutaway. An ES-335 has a double cutaway, one on each side of the neck.

      I said that "An "E" is still an "E" on different scales(with the exception of
      half-sized guitars)" what I meant was that they’re the same E. Half sized guitars are usually tuned to A or something. Their E is also still an E, but not the same octave. Okay.

      Scale length is the distance from the nut to the bridge, effectively the length of the string. A longer scale, such as the Fender standard, which is 25.5" must be tensioned higher to get the same notes. An "E" is still an "E" on different scales(with the exception of half-sized guitars) . Gibson usually uses a 24.75" scale, which means the strings have less tension, and are easier to bend. The downside of longer scales is that some reaches are hard in the lower frets. Shorter scales tend to get cramped on the higher frets.
      As for there being a 17-fret scale, that pretty much doesn’t make sense. Go further down the forum and I posted the stuff for figuring out fret size for different lengths.
      I hope this helps you some too, gerald. Go and get that FAQ, it has many scale lengths already figured for all the fret lengths.

      I am not sure if you can find a good acoustic amp for 50, but, I would highly recommend the Fender Acoustasonic Jr. combo. It costs around 50 but it would be well worth the extra money.

      I’m not sure I understand exactly what the question is. Are you asking what a closed back cabinet is, or do you have to have a closed back cabinet to use distortion? A closed back cabinet is simply a speaker cabinet that has a closed back, unlike open-back cabinets. These cabinets have much more of a low-end than open back cabs. As far as distortion, that is created in the amp itself, the cabinets have nothing to do with that. The closed back cabinets will make the distorted guitar tone a little thicker and beefier, but that is about it. A Marshall closed back cabinet costs around 00.

      Tuning these guitars can be pretty frustrating. I have owned several guitars with Floyds. Keep in mind that when you tune one string, the others are going to go out of tune. I always tuned to about a half step lower than standard to allow the strings to adjust to the tension. Then tune them almost to pitch, then tighten the nut, this will raise the pitch slightly, then tune to pitch using the fine tuners at the bridge. Sometimes you may need to loosen the nut and start over again, but after you get the hang of it, it’s a piece of cake.

      First, I’m sure that the bass isn’t worth any more than it would be without the signature. No, Fender did not sue Leo because of his signature, G&L is sort of a branch of Fender. Leo and his friend George Fullerton, (G&L), started building guitars under the G&L name in 1979. Leo died in 1991, so what would be the point in sueing him at such an old age over a signature on a guitar he created.

      I have never owned a Hamer guitar, but I have played them and they are fine guitars. Excellent quality and workmanship. They sound good to. As for what style. It really doesn’t matter, you buy the guitar that feels good to you and you play whatever style you want with it. Hamer’s sound great with most any style.

      …but i’ve heard it on the radio. sounds like this:

      for the verse:

      A D/A A D/A D/A A

      where
      A = x0222x
      D/A = x0423x

      and the refrain is probably

      (A)All right (G)now. Baby, it’s
      (D)All right (A)
      (these sound like standard bar chords)

      It sounds like a les paul through a twin reverb. But as I say, I’ve never actually tried to play this song, so I could be wrong about all this.

      Distortion, etc? – then you’ve probably after a Marshall JCM 800 – these have plenty of lively distortion with a good clean sound aswell – or if money is no option, a Messa Boogie (for rectified Metalica stuff).
      I personally own and Fender Blues delux and our bands guitarist has a Fender Twin – these are fantastic – though distortion comes with help from a Boss pedal.
      Don’t buy anything transistor based, valves are much, much better – however check out some of the Line 6 physical modelling combos – especially if you also want to play at home with headphones or DI record – I have a pod – it aint bad at all and is a great education in amp combos – so borrowing one it might help you choose the real thing.

      Try raising the stopbar tailpiece a little on the treble side ( but keep your bridge at the same height),
      this will reduce the tension and may cure/help or even solve your problem.

      I used to be a tailpiece screwed all the way down to the guitar guy, but have gone to having the
      tailpiece raised enough to clear the back of my bridge. There are folks who say you loose sustain
      when you raise the bridge, I haven’t noticed that much change but I’ve only raised the thng about
      a 1/4 inch….

      As with any other guitar, you play what you want to on it! Hamer’s are supposed to be good guitars. I’ve never owned one but all the magazine reviews I’ve ever seen have lavished praise. Play some others as well. If this one feels right then it’s the one for you. And don’t let anyone tell you that you have to play a certain type of music becuase you bought a certain type of guitar. Down that road lies mundanity and the death of creativity.

      : Hi,
      : I just received an RG220 as a birthday gift. It is my first electric guitar, let alone one with a Floyd Rose locking system. I have no idea how to tune it and the manual is useless. Please help. I do know this, when changing the strings, in the RG220 I don’t have to slice the balls off their ends. Thank you very much.

      I’m glad you’re not going to be chopping the balls off anything. I imagine someone else will post you a more useful reply – as I haven’t owned a guitar with a locking trem – but I’ll give it a go. Part of the difficulty is that the trem is balanced with springs, so that when you tighten one string the others all go out of tune slightly as the springs adjust. This means you have to go over hem repeatedly until they all come to the right pitch and stay there. I guess also you will need to release the locking part to allow the strings to adjust as you retune, and lock it again when you’re done. If you have problems, though, take it along to the shop where it was bought and ask them to go through it with you. So long as you don’t pick a moment when they’re rushed off their feet they’ll be haoppy to help you, as you’re potentially going to spend a load more money with them if you keep up your new interest.

        Hi. I was drawn to this topic about tuning with floyd rose, wondering if there is any way i can set up my peavey with floyd rose system on it so i can easily tune it to drop d without knocking all the other strings out of tune. I’m playing with it live soon as my gibson (which is no problem to detune) is getting fixed. usually i drop ‘d’ down to C# on my gibson and tune up again for a song in Eb with no problems with the other strings going out but my peavey is a pain in the arse to try and do this with as all of the other strings go out of tune. Much gratitude if u can help!!

      Contact Mesa Boogie direct – phone or email, have a look at their website – and they’ll let you know who your nearest dealer is. They might even sell to you direct – I don’t know. Don’t know about Marshall pedals, I’m afraid, but I would reccomend those by Tube Works, a range of three valve-driven overdrive pedals.

      Strats are tricky cause most of their early axes used
      decals for I.D. Underneith the neck(bolts)there should be some numbers telling you what year it was made.
      You’d have to take off the neck to do this.I think there are numbers inside the pickup cavity, on the body.But 79’s and 80’s are very heavy,"TRUCKS".

      We work with San Francisco guitar player Jim Campilongo (http://www.mp3.com/stations/jimcampilongo) and help produce his "guitar tip of the day" e-mail on Topica.com

      The tips are currently short e-mails in text format (see below). Our question is would you be interested in having these daily guitar tips in mp3 or streaming audio format? Let us know.

      Thanks for your support,

      SAMPLE GUITAR TIPS E-MAIL
      ————————-

      TODAY’S TIP: WHILE YOUR TELE GENTLY WEEPS

      If you play a Fender Telecaster, try this technique to achieve a crying, wah-like effect. Stretch the little finger of your picking hand to the tone knob and turn the treble to its most bass position. Strike a note, or better yet, release a bent string to where it’s
      dropping in pitch. While the note drops, increase the amount of treble with your little finger. It will sound voice-like and give the note a crying sound. This is an effect that guitarist Roy Buchanan pioneered, even though steel guitarists had been doing it years before his innovation.

      Your little finger may not seem long enough to move the tone knob at first, but once you grow accustomed to the stretch, you’ll have no problems. Some Tele players reverse their switchplate to bring the
      volume and tone knobs closer to their picking hand. This works for many, but I don’t like the trade-off of having the toggle switch further away from my picking hand. I firmly believe Leo Fender got the Telecaster design right the first time. To hear Roy Buchanan use this crying effect, check out "The Messiah Will Come Again" from his self-titled recording on Mercury.

      —————————————————————

      Jim Campilongo is a busy working guitarist based in the San Francisco Bay area. The San Francisco Examiner calls Jim "… The City’s own guitar God…." Billboard Magazine describes Jim as "…a walking encyclopedia of guitar…." Jim has released four critically acclaimed
