      : Has anyone bought anything from http://www.guitarstop.com? They have some great prices, but I am a little hesitant about buying a guitar over the net. Also I am looking at the Strat ’69 reissue with the tweed case, can it be sent to the U.K. or I’ll get a person in the U.S to send it to me…THANKS

      best thing about it is the sound..nice power sounding humbuckers but also clean and ringy for chords..nice resonance and timbre on the chord stuff but can also drive and give feedback using the mt-2 pedal..mine had small imperfection on neck bracing but didnt affect playability
      12th fret action close maybe 1/16 ..the nut however was a little high..

      tobacco sunburst is very attractive hard to best this one for 60..compared it to a DeArmond Starfire and chose the Echotone because of the gutsier more colorful sound..the duncan designed pickups are a big plus

      I bought one in the mid 90’s (don’t remember exactly), and all that I can say is that it is a great guitar for the price. Really nice guitar (bird-eye maple top, mahogany body), semi-hollow, really comfortable, and sounds really good. I’m not a pro, but I’m sure I don’t need a better guitar for the moment.

      : Help!
      some metal heads maybe turned off by the twang, but when it comes to a strong, clear lead.
      you can’t beat a Telecaster. So in the realm of the guitar, the tele may not
      be the very best, but it is certainly up there.

      Hi, I play a Starfield guitar. It’s an Altair SJ Trad. It was made in Japan, has a solid mahogony body with a bolt on maple neck. It has 2 single coil pickups with a humbucker at the bridge. It has a transparent red finish, similar to a Gibson cherry red. I bought it in 1993 and it has been fantastic. The pickups are particularly brilliant with a big range of tones. I’m surprised Starfields never really caught on, the only proffesional musician I’ve seen playing them is Donald Kinsey from The Kinsey Report.

      Anyone know any more?

      Did you ever find a Fender HM strat? I have one for sale on Ebay right now – it is a Japanese, but in very good condition (except for a 1" chip on the body). I am the original owner and have had it since around ’93ish when I bought it brand new.

      : I have worked with the Zoom GFX8. There is a seamless effect that will accomplish this.

      : From what I remember, you would have to program the "seamless" effect into the patch that you are going TO and not FROM.

      : You can get the pdf Zoom manual (pdf) online at:

      I have a Roland Re-201 that is presently having some repair work done on it. New transistor and a few other relatively minor things. I bought the unit new in 1975 and it essentially has never been on the road. I always used it for guitar and a few times in a recording situation. It is is excellent shape because I am extremely fussy with my toys. Cleaning etc. Problem I have run into is I cannot find a source for replacement tape which Roland no longer makes. They came in little clear plastic boxes. I tried to find an e-mail address for Roaland U.S. To send a query to them for the purpose of finding out specifically what type of tape they used in there spools. Thought I would make my own. If you have any info on this let me know at the aforementioned e-mail. As far as further info. I loved the unit for over 25 years. They were well constructed and lthough limited in the range of effects for the price you could’nt beat them.

      : I am considering buying either a boss ad-5 or the less expensive ad-3 for use with my Taylor 414. Is anyone familier with these units? Why would I want the more expensive one vs. the ad-3? Also, would this unit work for well for my fiddle as well?

      Hi,
      I have the ad-5 with my Taylor 612c and 614ce. it provides an amazing warmth and infinite tone adjustments with the eq, 2×2 chorus and reverb.

      I play every week at our church and go directly form the ad-5 stereo to the board. I get nothing but outstanding comments form those who hear the tone. It is easy and intuitive to use and with the addition of the guitar "size" adjuster and the "mic distance" adjuster you can get a lot of great sounds that expand your guitar capabilities.

      Add a boss dd-3 dely pedal and you will be very pleased.

      : someone please respond explaining about Korean vs US ovations. Less quality? Bad reputation? Please respond. Is it worth buying a Korean Ovation Celebrity Deluxe.

      I reecxntly bought a new USA built Balladeer from Mars Music. At the time I also looked over the ones made in Korea.
      The cost difference is significant with the USA made ones costing about 00 more. They sound similar but I noted that
      one of the Korean made units had cracks between the neck and figure board. It didn’t hurt the
      sound and was probably only cosmetic, but if you are buying one check it over carefully.
      If you are just playing for fun or as a hobby the Korean made guitars should suit your purpose.
      But if you are planning on playing to audiences I’d spend the addtional for the USA ones.
      You will have more of a selection of finish and styles. No matter what you buy I don’t thnik
      you’ll find a better sounding easier playing guitar. I own three of them.

        The non-USA ones -so I was told- are build -in license- by Takamine guitars. For that sake you wouldn’t buy a bad one anyway (not even for concert purposes) – however, still bought a USA one myself. The difference is indeed hard to hear. Maybe its just a psychological thing to buy a USA built Ovation. Anyway – I enjoy mine for over 9 years already.

      I was wondering why you want tab to learn a solo?, just play what you feel over it and find your own style. Jimi Page is without a doubt one of the greatest guitarists but what makes him brilliant is his oringinal style of his own influences i.e blues folk/country, let his style inspire you and create your "own" wicked style : I was wondernig if anyone has tab for this great Led Zepplin Cd, because the "Black dog" and "Stairway to heaven" solos are better than solos of the released version, "Led Zepplin IV".

      I had the same problem, requiring the Winter 2000 and January 2001 (for a beginner’s Jazz
      series by Dave K). I looked everywhere I could imagine. Finally found that Borders Books in
      the U.S. has an on-line magazine service which still had the issues I was missing. I just received
      them today. The site is at http://www.borders.megamags.com. Service was prompt, cost was at face
      value plus a nominal shipping fee.

      Hope this helps,

      : Players whose instructional videos you should get for right hand technique:Al DiMeola, John Petrucci from Dream Theater, Steve Morse, and Eric Johnson. I recommend using Dunlop Jazz III picks to build up your techinque. I’d stay away from the training picks and get used to using a real pick, and using the same one consistently. Stiff picks are tough to use in the beginning, but with practice you will begin to realize that the stiffness is crucial to making a positive connection with the string when you pick it. E-mail me back with your thoughts.

      I am not into Korn or Limp Cookies, but I play the 7. I started when Vai came out with passion and warfare. I also have 4 6ers, but am selling them because I view the seven string as having a greater dimension and a better feel on the neck. I also like it because you can harmonize in the lower registers. Its just a way to expand your mind and your playing.

I think he uses and overdrive, but should I buy an expenisve amp that has built in distortion, or should i buy a less expensive and amp spend a more of the money on a good pedal? RSVP please!

      Buy a nice guitar and amp. You can purchase lots of good guitars for under 00. Forget the pedals and buy a good amp. Pedals are cheap and you can always get them later. Good luck.

      It is real hard to get 2 great sounds in one (do it all guitar). You have enough money to buy a metal guitar and a strat or check out the Fender Lonestar Strat. Good luck.

      hi, i had a very similar prob and it was all down to the cheap guitar i had bought.
      when i checked the tuning as it stated in the book, i did’nt realise that the strings where actually far to tight so i was playing in a higher scale so to speak. this coupled with a high bridge and top end meant i had to really push hard on the frets causing all the symtoms you have stated.
      it was only when a freind called round and picked it up to play that i found this out, he retuned it and a did’nt have to press half as hard on the strings.
      hope this helps

      Does anyone know how much an original EH Big Muff is worth now. I’ve had mine for about 24 years now and it still makes the occasional appearance out of the gig bag. I’ve also still got an original Screaming Tree treble booster and an LPB 2 (Linear Power Booster). The Electric Mistress gave up the ghost years ago with a failed transformer – never got that fixed and it ended up in bits somewhere !

      : Stevie Ray Vaughn comes to mind. The solos on the songs "Crossfire" or "Tightrope" off his "In Step" CD
      : are still some of my favorites. Check out the band
      : "Dream Theater" too.

      Hey if you want some excellent solo’s to learn check out Mark Knopfler of Dire straits! Or Brian May has some really creative stuff as well. Clapton’s rediscovery of the blues is also a good listen to learn from……

      I’d stay away from Vai/Malmsteen etc. They’re very technical and good players, but in my opinion the best playing comes from within.

      Best Guitars in the world. The only thing you can do to improve them is stick a strat pup in the neck. If you get a good, well balanced brdige pickup (ie, Harmonic Design ’54 special), you would be hard-pressed to find a better lead sound.

Some of the brands I’m looking at are the "Dimazzio blue velvets", "Rio Grande", "Halfbreeds" "Tallboys" pickups…any comments on these pickups in terms of sound flexibility,good combinatios of one or two of these together, testimonials. The objective is to maintain flexibility across most of the music genre, with a need to ensure that tone and separations is maximised especially in a variety of venues eg. outdoor, indoor, dull, bright.

      I own a 6 string Lyle that a friend gave me back in 1971 and it has mellowed beautifully with the years. I use it now for altered tuning, but for years it was my only guitar. As to the price, well, you could probably do a little better, but if it plays well and sounds good and doesn’t have any problems, then I’d say that 00 is not a bad price. I did but a Takamine 12 at a pawn shop for the same price though. Course I might just be a tad sentimental about Lyle guitars, but, I would buy it myself if it did what a guitar should do. whimsmith

      : The pickups are microphonic. You have 2 options: Replace them or have them wax potted. Wax potting is cheaper, especially if you are happy with the sound. Find a repair shop that will do this for you.

      In order to tune to baritone, you’ll need a scale length of at least 27". A strat type guitar will work much better than say a Les Paul type because the les paul is only about 25.5".

      : I’m looking for a tremelo, bigsby-style for a fender telecaster does anybody know where i might find one? does fender make one? please help.
      : thanks
      : big e

      Sorry this is a late follow up but, I just found this site. If you still need a Bigsby for your Tele check allparts.com they have them. They are expensive though, about 35.00 the part # is TP 3640. You’ll also need to change your bridge plate to a flat plate the part # is BP 051 and is about 2.00. You will probably need to change the bridge also. I don’t think the bridge that comes with the Bigsby will work on the bridge plate. You’ll need a bridge with "cups" like on a Jaguar, the part # for the bridge you need is SB 210 about 0.00 I hope this helps. I have a Bigsby on one of my Teles, they actually help in keeping your guitar in tune. I also have a Bigsby B-Bender (also known as a palm pedal) installed on another Tele. These are hard to come by but, if you ever find one don’t pass it up.

      Fender does make one but, they are only available if you have a guitar Master Built. Also check e-bay

      Thank you, I appreciate the feedback (and to the other’s that replied). This, as with everything else I learn about music, brings up more questions. But, I do like the attitude to forget the theory while playing. I just needed someone else out there to say it. Take Care, keep playin!

      -Ben

      : Have you ever seen the circle of 4ths (circle of 5ths if you go the other way around the circle).

      : C
      : F G
      : Bb/A# D
      : Eb/D# A
      : Ab/G# E
      : Db/C# B
      : Gb/F#

      : If you go around clockwise it’s 5ths, counterclockwise is 4ths. The relative minor is 3 clockwise steps around the circle.

      : Furthermore, from a key signature/scale standpoint, as you go clockwise, you’re adding a sharp to the scale, as you go counterclockwise, you’re adding a flat to the scale…to wit: the key signature for C is blank…no sharps, no flats, G is one sharp, D is two sharps, etc. F is one flat, Bb is two flats etc. The sharps and flats meet at Gb/F# which is six flats or six sharps, either way you want to make your eyes burn (that also means that legally, you could use 7 flats to denote the key of B, but while legal, it’s probably immoral).

      : Now, what you’re talking about is another way of speaking of "Modes." I can’t tell you one mode from another, but I do know that in essence, a mode is a scale, for example C-D-E-F-G-A-B-C is C Major, also known as C Lydian (? I think that’s the right mode). There are other modes such as Mixolydian, Aeolian and a bunch of others. If you play C-D-E-F-G-A-Bb-C it makes it a C Mixolydian (? maybe), in actuality of course it’s either an F major that starts and stops on the 5th, or a D minor that starts and stops on the 7th, depending on what you want to call it.

      : They’re all just different ways of describing the scales. The Key signatures tell you what notes of the scale are flatted/sharped.

      : When I’m soloing I think very little about scales, and modes. I do try to remember what key we’re in and the chord that’s being played, but I don’t really specifically think about it, it’s more of a thing to keep in the back of your mind as you’re playing.

      : Theory should free up your playing, not clutter it with cumbersome rules….practice theory at home and play from the ears and the gut when you’re on a job.

      : I hope this gives you something to use.

      :
      : : I would like to know if anyone has approached the guitar this way. I am self-taught so I don’t know ALL the lingo. Anyway I have a question on improvisational soloing. Say we are playing in A Major, I am playing in an AMaj Scale, then the song goes to a F#m (the vi chord in the key). The minor scale in F#m are the same notes as in AMaj. Now say that the chord changes to a DMaj (the IV chord) I notice that all the notes are the same except there is a flat 7. Also if the chord changed to a ii (Bm) the minor scale would be just the same as the A Major scale except for a flat 7. Then there is the iii and V chords (C#m and EMaj). The only difference in these scales are a sharp 4. (ie. E Major scale, C# Minor scale). Has anyone else noticed this (I’m sure it’s in a book somewhere on this planet). I am wondering if an experienced player out there uses this to their advantage (like when the "chord of the moment" changes to a V chord, you would move all of your 4’s sharp, then switch back to normal after you get back to the Root chord). I don’t know if any of this makes sense to anyone else but myself, but if it does, I would like to hear how others use this to play, or if I’m missing something. Thanks,

      : I just paid 15 bucks for it and I think the production was pretty horrible considering he has his own studio now and everything. I can understand his preference to
      : stay in the rhythm pickup mode but he probably forgot to turn up the treble on the final mix down. I fail to understand how such a huge influence on todays shredders chose not to be more innovative in recent productions. I’ve heard his reggae and blues improvisations live that were absolutely astonishing!
      : Good thing I also bought Dave Brubeck "Time Out", so I didn’t feel to jipped.

      I agree, it is yet another disappointing Yngwie album. He’s lost it, and can’t seem to get it back.
      Its been that way for some time now, though. I have also heard that live, he is better than ever, which is why
      I had big hopes for this album.

      Hmm.Interesting.My theory is kinda rusty,but I’ll give it a shot.When the tune moves to F#m,Bm,C#min I’d try to stay aware of this key change.Being already familiar
      with this type of transition,I’ll stay away from the unstable tones and hangout in the F#min(Pentatonic)zone.Until I hear the V chord turn-around,then I know it’s O.K. to return to the Amaj scale(pure).So be aware when the chord tones change, that will dictate your approach(choice of tones).The F#m,Bm,C#m is a 1,4,5,as you know.So why not handle it like an F# Blues??This transition opens up a lot of other options!
      But for now,never mind the theory! When improvising,use
      your ears and pick your tones smartly.The F#m is the minor 6 chord in Amaj.Whos relative major is Amaj!
      Hope this helps.

      I don’t think there’s a way of eliminating the hum of a older single-coils entirely, but…

      You should try and glue tinfoil on the inside of your guitar and the backside of your pickguard. That should take some of the hum.
      You could also chek the soldering of he earth cable on the backside of the bridge. The soldering shuld be shiny. If they’re not then replase them.

I was at a trade show in England when a friend told me to try this little gem. When I saw it I said I don’t like Mahogany guitars but as soon as I played it I simply could not put it down. I bought the guitar after about an hour of strumming and plucking the little beauty and still can’t put it down 4 months later. If, as I imagine, your dad bought the guitar originally because it played and sounded so great, why don’t you simply do the same. You will never replace the same guitar so go for the reasons why it was bought in the first place, sound and quality. I payed £650.00 for it so I think it retails for around 000.00 in the US Regards, Dave

      The thing to do with a wah wah is to keep rocking it back and forth in time with the music, it’s more of a feel thing than anything else….listen to Voodoo Chile (Slight Return) by Hendrix, then listen to Stevie Ray Vaughan (live and studio versions), you’ll see they don’t play it the same way….a good rule of thumb is to be pushing it down at the toe on the beat, at the heel on the upbeat, of course rules are meant to be broken, so do whatever you want as you go.

      Floyd Rose’s are great, but they’re extraordinarily annoying to adjust. You have to remove the string to adjust the intonation (do this only one string at a time or you’ll really play hob putting it back together). With the string removed there should be either an allen screw in front of the saddle. You have to loosen it and move the saddle where you want it. If it won’t move far enough you have to remove the screw and put it in another screw slot, there are two or three in the bridge itself. What a pain in the neck it all is.

      : I got myself an Ibanez RG270DX the other day and it’s got
      : that (copy of) a Floyd Rose bridge. On my other guitar
      : I can simply turn screws on the back of the bridge to move the
      : blocks where the strings run over back and forth, but how do I do
      : that with this kind of bridge? It seems turning the tubes holding the
      : strings at the back of the bridge only moves the string w.r.t. the block
      : and not the block itself…some advice would be welcome.

        Floyd Rose bridges are not that hard to adjust if you follow this procedure. Tune the guitar and balance the bridge so that it is level when tuned. This is done with the springs in the back. Check intonation. If a note is sharp, loosen that string quite a bit, then using a 2mm allen wrench and a flat blade screwdriver, loosen the screw holding down the saddle enough that you can push it back about 1/16" with the screwdriver, then retighten the saddle while holding it in position with the screwdriver. If you run out of range on a hold down screw, you will have to loosen the string to slack to move it back one position. PS this technique does require some coordination, if you don’t have good hand tool skills, it’s a good way to scratch your guitar, procede with caution, 😉

      Have you ever seen the circle of 4ths (circle of 5ths if you go the other way around the circle).

      C
      F G
      Bb/A# D
      Eb/D# A
      Ab/G# E
      Db/C# B
      Gb/F#

      If you go around clockwise it’s 5ths, counterclockwise is 4ths. The relative minor is 3 clockwise steps around the circle.

      Furthermore, from a key signature/scale standpoint, as you go clockwise, you’re adding a sharp to the scale, as you go counterclockwise, you’re adding a flat to the scale…to wit: the key signature for C is blank…no sharps, no flats, G is one sharp, D is two sharps, etc. F is one flat, Bb is two flats etc. The sharps and flats meet at Gb/F# which is six flats or six sharps, either way you want to make your eyes burn (that also means that legally, you could use 7 flats to denote the key of B, but while legal, it’s probably immoral).

      Now, what you’re talking about is another way of speaking of "Modes." I can’t tell you one mode from another, but I do know that in essence, a mode is a scale, for example C-D-E-F-G-A-B-C is C Major, also known as C Lydian (? I think that’s the right mode). There are other modes such as Mixolydian, Aeolian and a bunch of others. If you play C-D-E-F-G-A-Bb-C it makes it a C Mixolydian (? maybe), in actuality of course it’s either an F major that starts and stops on the 5th, or a D minor that starts and stops on the 7th, depending on what you want to call it.

      They’re all just different ways of describing the scales. The Key signatures tell you what notes of the scale are flatted/sharped.

      When I’m soloing I think very little about scales, and modes. I do try to remember what key we’re in and the chord that’s being played, but I don’t really specifically think about it, it’s more of a thing to keep in the back of your mind as you’re playing.

      Theory should free up your playing, not clutter it with cumbersome rules….practice theory at home and play from the ears and the gut when you’re on a job.

      I hope this gives you something to use.

      : I would like to know if anyone has approached the guitar this way. I am self-taught so I don’t know ALL the lingo. Anyway I have a question on improvisational soloing. Say we are playing in A Major, I am playing in an AMaj Scale, then the song goes to a F#m (the vi chord in the key). The minor scale in F#m are the same notes as in AMaj. Now say that the chord changes to a DMaj (the IV chord) I notice that all the notes are the same except there is a flat 7. Also if the chord changed to a ii (Bm) the minor scale would be just the same as the A Major scale except for a flat 7. Then there is the iii and V chords (C#m and EMaj). The only difference in these scales are a sharp 4. (ie. E Major scale, C# Minor scale). Has anyone else noticed this (I’m sure it’s in a book somewhere on this planet). I am wondering if an experienced player out there uses this to their advantage (like when the "chord of the moment" changes to a V chord, you would move all of your 4’s sharp, then switch back to normal after you get back to the Root chord). I don’t know if any of this makes sense to anyone else but myself, but if it does, I would like to hear how others use this to play, or if I’m missing something. Thanks,

      : I have a Boss GT-3 and that is not a problem since you can use the manual function which is controlled bu tre "control" pedal. This makes all the other pedals in the board control single effects while being in the same patch- so it would be just like using stomp boxes…. The GT-3 doesn’t have such a noticible delay between patches eather, and i know there is a way to make delay effect not cut when changing patches ( it says on the manual ) but i still haven’t had the time to figure it out.– I also use single pedals along with my multi-effects, it doesn’t change sound quality….the GT-3 also gives you the option of adding your own distortion pedal in the chain.

      I just paid 15 bucks for it and I think the production was pretty horrible considering he has his own studio now and everything. I can understand his preference to
      stay in the rhythm pickup mode but he probably forgot to turn up the treble on the final mix down. I fail to understand how such a huge influence on todays shredders chose not to be more innovative in recent productions. I’ve heard his reggae and blues improvisations live that were absolutely astonishing!

      : I forget what the exact name of this axe is, but sure enough Gibson made a thinline, hollowbody, double cut Les Paul in the 70’s(LP Signature?). It has a Les Paul Cutaway on the bottom and an Es cut on the top. I think they have somekind of special PU’s on them. They came in gold and tobacco sunburst(there could be more but I’ve seen these at shows). They weren’t real popular(everyone wanted Standards) and were discontiued inthe late 70’s. Michael Ward of the Wallflowers and School of Fish swears by them.
      Epiphone reissued them in the late 90’s.

      The noise you are experiencing is a common side effect of single coil pickups. Also called 60
      cycle hum. Sometimes you can eliminate the noise with a noise gate, changing cables, or
      moving aroung the room till you find a spot that’s quieter. You can also replace the pickups
      with hum-eliminating single coils.

      I have not played a Tak, but I have played the big baby. I was impressed with the sound for the $. It sounds good but not as full as a full size acoustic would. The neck is bolt on and would easily allow for a change if need be. Taylors in my experience tend to have skinnk necks. What you should do is decide which one you feel more comfortable with. Have someone else play them for you so you can hear how the guitar sounds to others as they would be listening to you play. Don’t buy on others recommendations because only you knows what works for you. You are the one who will be miserable if you get something you really don’t wind up liking.

      No, they are not hard to use at all. You just have to get used to them. Yes, you must use the pedal to get the wah effect. By rocking the pedal you get the wah-wah sound. With your heel down the guitars low frequencies are emphasized, with your toe down the high frequencies are emphasized. Also, if you want to obtain a constant wah tone you can activate the pedal and leave it in any position and that tone will remain constant. That is very useful for getting a cool mid-rangy nasal tone to give some character to your solo’s. As a side note, MXR (I believe it’s MXR), makes an effect pedal that does that very thing. Instead of a wah pedal, it is a stompbox that has a couple of tone knobs that you set to emphasize a certain frequency, very cool. Anyway, I hope this helps. If you have any more questions, please post them.

      I am very entry level and am looking for my first guitar…I don’t want to go too much above 00, and would like folks’ advice on acoustics in that range. One place was pushing the Takamine GS 330 S real hard, and I’ve seen very good reviews on them on the Web.

      Another place downplayed the Taks and said the Taylor Big Baby was the best in that price range. I took a look at the Big Babys, and my first impression was that they seemed light (too light?), the neck seemed a bit narrow (high and low E strings seemed to want to fall off the neck), and it seemed a bit quieter than others I strummed. Also wasn’t too pleased with the exposed bolts in the fretboard used to bolt the neck to the body.

      BUT, what do I know? Maybe I don’t know how to evaluate a guitar properly. I mean, it is a Taylor. Several places said it was hands down the best guitar for the money. What do you think?

      Any comments on the Tak, Big Baby, and others in the 00 price range would be appreciated.

The objective is to maintain flexibility across most of the music genre, with a need to ensure that tone and separations is maximised especially in a variety of venues eg. outdoor, indoor, dull, bright.

        Hi Mike, I am not sure. I am also interested in this topic, I own a Starfield Teak Custom built in the beginning of the 90’s (made in Japan). It has a well crafted two piece teak wood body. The finish is natural and waxed. This guitar is absolutely great. The only thing I modified were the pickups. Originally it was equipped with two lipsticks but I made a new pickguard and put a Fender Gold Lace Sensor and a DiMarzio Fast Track in. It sounds dry and crystal clear. A little bit like a Tele. Good for blues and funk. This guitar is a killer. Now, to you question: Starfield Guitars were a subsidiary (daughter company) of Ibanez. I heard it was founded because Ibanez had too much employees and few work at this time. So the instruments were built by the Ibanez Custom Shop (I am not really sure about this) for a cheaper price. Two Series: The more expensive American Series (made in USA) and the Japan Series (made in Japan). But the models where not the same. My Teak Starfield was only available in the Japan Series. The quality was very good. Good value for money. I cannot compain about my guitar (it is not my main axe, I prefer my extremely customized Fender Strat Plus) and I will probably never sell it. I play in an ELvis Cover Band and it perfeclty suits the 70’s where James Burton played. I play it over a Peavey 5150 and a Custom Hiwatt 100. More, I don’t know at the moment. Cheers, Dominic

      : Personally, the Big Muff is the best pedal distortion available. Because it is simple, it allows the guitar and amp to come through or it can be a tone generator giving you gobs of gain/distortion.
      Just remember that for best results, your guitar should be in tune(I find that even the slightest tuning problem can make evil overtones with the muff) and don’t turn it all the way up. I could never get a decent sound with it dimed. Try putting the volume half way up and the sustain(distortion) half way, then play with the tone knob to add treble. I recommend a tube amp with it since a tube amp usually reacts musically to input gain(ie a pedal)rather than a solid state amp. I’ve played and owned most of the classic pedals and the Big Muff is my favorite.

      : I bought a Copicat in 1995 because I just had to have a tape echo. With the tape and heads etc. it was a pain to keep running. I had always heard the Space Echo was great, so I bought one. I think it has many more features as well as a clearer sound and is much more reliable. I don’t have the Copicat to A/B, but given the choice, I’d take the Roland. If you are a hardcore tape head, it may leave a bit to be desired.But I bet it’ll work a lot more.

      Dude the pedal rocks! I use it for my overdrive. I can’t afford a big tube amp yet cuz i’m in college. But it has got so major balls, great for fast alternate picking and ect. Only disatvantage, its a pain to get a good lead setting! Also buy a Boss & band EQ for it. It will really help dail in the tone, i never shut off my eq ever! Good settings are:
      LEVEL 70% Treble 50%, BASS 60% Mid 60%, MID Freq 40% I believe… or i might have to to mids switched.. sorry. Also get a Ibenaz tube screamer, that pedal will really add to your rythem and lead tone. Give you that warm tone. Its a great pedal, but i’d trade it for a tube amp with a kilker OD any day, i think everyone would. Get it!

      Well, have you seen it?
      First off, is it all original? If not start shaving money off. If it doesn’t have the original PU’s take even more off. Does it have a lot of flame in the finish? The more flame, the more $ it’s worth.
      Your friend’s guitar is worth anywhere from 0K to 5 k depending on condition and originality. If it’s mint maybe more….Take it to a music store and watch them either: A) shit twice and die or
      B) try to shaft you out of it

      The pickups are microphonic. You have 2 options: Replace them or have them wax potted. Wax potting is cheaper, especially if you are happy with the sound. Find a repair shop that will do this for you.

      i understand, when i was 14 there’s noone outthere giving me advise on how to play a guitar.

      1.how long it would take? one of my friend made it in 2 weeks to master all the basic rythm, and some of them never make it.
      2.metalica use ESP guitars. however,gibson is more all rounded. at least u can play matal and hard rock.gibson epiphone sounds pretty ok now (relatively cheap)

      i will recommend u to go for mutli-effect(rp-100,zoom505II….cheaper one), pedals is kinda expensive for a beginner, and u dont have enought experience to adjust the tone.

      or just use the dist channer on the amp. it sounds pretty good also.

      anyway, it’s just my own opinion for a beginner…good luck.

        The MT-2 is quickly becoming my favorite distortion pedal… I preferred the blues driver because I have a Marshall amp that has a great distortion tone but the MT-2 is the most versatile distortion I have found. It can give tones from a warm distortion to a nasty grundge distortion… anything you want i run the level a little high to overdrive my pre amp but the pedal itself has a great tone if you have a good amp try these settings: level 12 o’clock bass: almost all the way up high: 2 o’clock mids level:2 o’clock and pan the mids freq for tone to the far left is a heavy tone and to the far right is a bright distortion…. the pedal is great my only complaint is that it is a littlr heavy if you ever want a clean lead… i switch to my blues driver to play lead and still match the level of my MT-2 Have fun with it, Ben

      Hi,
      I have an EMG in the neck and a passive DiMarzio X2N humbucker in the bridge. This works fine but you are unable to ground your passive pickups when installed. This causes a hum when using the pickup. It isn’t bad with a humbucker but when using a passive single coil, it gets noisy. If you want to have two independent volumes than you can ground the pickup. You are unable to use the pickups at the same time though.

      Hi,
      sus stands for suspended. A suspended chord replaces the third with a fourth, a sixth or a ninth(which is a 2nd an octave up.) They sound as if they are neither major nor minor. Like they are suspended. If you are familiar with Queensryche they use suspended chords quite a bit.
      Tabs for some common sus chords(starting from low e):

      Asus2: x 0 2 2 0 0
      Dsus2: x x 0 2 3 0
      Dsus4: x x 0 2 3 3

      Hope this helps!

      After the burial of my father I discovered a semi-hollow electric guitar in his closet. Sunburst in color and in decent condition the products name was removed from the headstock. No other dentifying labels other than the serial number bolted on a plate on the back of the neck.

      It’d be usefull for people to know where you are geographically, otherwise they won’t know if they can jam with you or not. I’m guessing that the TX in your ID thing means you’re in Texas, in which case I can’t.

      There is a used fender twin reverb at a local music store where i live. It seems in OK condition. There is some rust on the top, and it just looks old (obviously). I havnt played it. I wanted to know if it is worth buying this amp (only clean channels) for 99.99??

        Definatly check the amp out first.When you turn it on the tubes should glow blueish color.Crank it for a few minutes,make sure it doesn’t cut-off or get shitty.It should keep it’s clear tone at high volumes.Look at the speakers,you’ll want the original fender speakers in there.Also,check each channel and the bright switch, make sure they’re functioning right.$699 seems kinda high,so try to check out other stores before you buy. $550-$650 is about right.If you really want it,DON’T BULLSHIT.Throw what ya’ got right on the counter! If it works well, your money will be well spent. Good Luck

        If it works well, and the tubes are OK (should play loud) Twins range from $450-$650. Remember, tubes cost$ to replace and can be a hassle to get, but the sound a Twin can get can be worth it. If you really want it, offer them less. $699 seems on the high side to me?? But I’m cheap.

      Back in ’81,I was shopping for a high output pickup with good tone.I nearly bought the Schecter Super Rock
      pickup,be the dealer refused to sell it to me.His words
      were,"Super Rock my balls!!" "Van Halen uses the SH-5".
      So I installed them in my ’77 LES PAUL.The other guitar player in my group was using the DiMarzio X2N. AT high volumes the SH-5 kept it’s tonal integrity, while the X2N turned to SHIT!! I was using a DOD overdrive 250,a cranked Twin Reverb and a Cry-baby. I’ve been chasing that sound for years!! The SH-5 is about 14.5 ohms with a ceramic magnet.It’s got high output with classic tone!
      Thanx for listening to my story.

        I would also like to know what it is, but from what i’ve picked up its an amplifier used to boost the line signal from very quiet/small to much larger, i read its generally for microphones; why do you hear how so many guitarists have them then? I’ve studied some popular artists rigs and find they plug their guitar into a preamp then into several further ‘poweramps’ then into cabinets; that’s about all i know so anyone else?

      Martin makes a DM series acoustic that sounds great. I think Guitar Center has them for 00-600. Guild makes good acoustics in your price range, (though I personally don’t care for Guilds) Might want to check out an Alvarez too. Pick one that YOU like, not what everybody else says you should buy. Good luck.

      SERIOUSLY NO SCAMS! LOTS OF CASH, FAST AND COMPLETELY LEGAL,
      THIS REALLY WORKS!! THIS REALLY CAN MAKE YOU EASY MONEY!! IT
      WORKS!!! BUT YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW IT TO A LETTER FOR IT TO WORK!
      ALL THIS TAKES IS .00 NO FURTHER RISK. IT JUST MIGHT BE WORTH
      LOOKING AT.
      A little while back, I was browsing through newsgroups, just like you are now, and came
      across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands of dollars within weeks
      with only an initial investment of .00! So I thought," Yeah, right, this must be a scam",
      but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you send .00
      to each of the 6 names and address stated in the article. You then place your own name
      and address in the bottom of the list at #6, and post the article in at least 200 newsgroups.
      (There are thousands) No catch, that was it. So after thinking it over, and talking to a few
      people first, I thought about trying it. I figured what have I got to lose except 6 stamps
      and .00, right? Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little worried about the legal
      aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they
      confirmed that it is indeed legal! 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 0,000.00 and it’s still growing. This is now my fourth week and I have
      made a total of just over 2,000.00 and it’s still coming in rapidly. It’s certainly worth
      .00, and 6 stamps. Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, why it
      works….also, make sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so you can get the
      information off of it as you need it. 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 in each of the
      6 envelopes and seal them. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of
      paper stating the above phrase, your name and address, and a .00 bill. What you are
      doing is creating a service by this. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! Mail the 6
      envelopes to the following addresses:
      1) Randall Hickman New Market, TN 37820
      2) Jack 6342 S.E.83rd Portland, OR.97266
      3) Ben Spyrison 3175 West Forest Rd. Freeport, Il. 61032
      4) C Bare 2965 Leawood Dr Anchorage AK 99515
      5) J. G. Dysarczyk 3508 Paseo De Los Americanos 82 Oceanside, CA 92056
      6) PUT YOUR NAME HERE and forward
      STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the other names up
      (6 becomes 5, 5
      becomes 4, etc…) and add YOUR Name as number 6 on the list. STEP 3: Change
      anything you need to, but try to keep this article as close to original as possible. Now, post
      your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups. (I think there are close to 24,000
      groups) All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you
      make!
      —DIRECTIONS —HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS—- Step 1) You do not need
      to re-type this entire letter to do your own posting. Simply put your cursor at the
      beginning of this letter and drag your cursor to the bottom of this document, and select
      ‘copy’ from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter into the computers memory. Step
      2) Open a blank "notepad" file under accessories in windows and place your cursor at the
      top of the blank page. From the ‘edit’ menu select ‘paste’. This will paste a copy of the
      letter into notepad so that you can add your name to the list. Step 3) Save your new
      notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do your postings in different sittings, you’ll always
      have this file to go back to. Step 4) Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching
      for various newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites, discussions.) Step 5)
      Visit these message boards and post this article as a new message by highlighting the text
      of this letter and selecting paste from the edit menu. Fill in the Subject, this will be the
      header that everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a particular group,
      click the post message button. You’re done with your first one! Congratulations…THAT’S
      IT! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroupes and post away, after you get the
      hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup! **REMEMBER,
      THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL
      MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200** That’s it! You will begin
      reciving money from around the world within days! You may eventually wany to rent a
      P.O.Box due to the large amount of mail you will receive. If you wish to stay anonymous,
      you can invent a name to use, as long as the postman will deliver it. **JUST MAKE
      SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.** Now the WHY part: Out of 200
      postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low example). So then I made .00 with my
      name at #6 on the letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me .00 make the
      MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each of
      the original 5, that is another 5.00 for me, now those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM
      posts with my name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an additional 25.00!
      Now, those 125 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3
      and only receive 5 replies each, I will make an additional 26.00! OK, now here is the
      fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at #2 and
      they each only receive 5 replies, that just made me ,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will
      all deliver this message to 200 newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 5 persons per
      200 newsgroups react I will receive 5,625,00! With a original investment of only .00!
      AMAZING! When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest posting in
      the newsgroups, and send out another .00 to names on the list, putting your name at
      number 6 again. And start posting again. The thing to remember is, do you realize that
      thousands of people all over the world are joining the internet and reading these articles
      everyday, JUST LIKE YOU are now!! So can you afford .00 and see if it really
      works??
      I think so… People have said, "what if the plan is played out and no one sends you the
      money? So what! What are the chances of that happening when there are tons of new
      honest users and new honest people who are joining the internet and newsgroups everyday
      and are willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users, every day,
      with thousands of those joining the actual internet. Remember, play FAIRLY and
      HONESTLY and this will work. thanks for participating

      I am trying to remember the make and model of a particular guitar I played a couple of times in a shop back in the mid 80’s. It was a *solid-body* nylon string guitar, totally electric, but shaped like a single cutaway classical guitar, complete with spruce (or spruce-like) top and classical guitar-style tuning heads. It even had a round "hole"-shaped depression in the solid body under the strings. Two more things I remember but are unsure of: that it may have been a Yamaha, and that it may have been called an "Andy Summers Model".

      If anyone can, please name that guitar’s make and model. Thanks!

      Play them big thick ‘uns.
      If you can play on them and get used to them, they’re much better. They sound better and last longer.

However you have take notice of the body style, and the RR1s are hard to play sitting down in my opinion while the sl 1 is versatile enough for standing or sitting and you have to notice the difference in pickups with only one humbucker being present on the soloist. Wish I had a tough decision like this make, too expensive for my blood man. I learned alot time ago, if your good enough it dont matter what your playing on. Peace

        I own both, they are both great guitars. THe neck of the rr-1 nd the soloist is the same so pull offs and bends are no different on them. The only disadvantage with the rr-1 is it only has 22 frets and is a little harder to sit down and play it. Although, using a strap it makes it easy to sit down and play, just a little different then when sitting and playing a strat type guitar, like the soloist : Please tell me your honost opions about the : Jackson Randy Rhoads RR1T : and the : SL-1 Soloist USA : Tell me some of the advantages and Disadvantages, Would the soloist and rr1t be good enough guitars to perform infront of audiances, concerts, gigs, which one would be ebtter for the pull offs, bends, i’ve narrowed my dicission to the Randy Rhoads RR1T and the SL-1 Soloist

      : You’ve got some cash to spend! I think you should buy two guitars. A Fender Stratocaster(for 50-900 you could get an American Hendrix Model) and a humbucker equipt axe like an ESP for your Kirk Hammett jones. 1400 is enough to buy one really nice guitar or two nice guitars that do different things. Check Gbase.com. Type in what you want and sit back!

      : Could anyone tell me how much it costs to have a guitar painted (single color). I guess it depends on the type of paint but perhaps someone could give me a price range. It’s a midnight blue Fender strat. It looks however more like midnight purple to me, so I would like to make it actually look blue.

      I was looking for the same sound for a while. So I started playing around with a few stomp boxes. I play on a combo amp, a marshall vs265r the distortion is nice and all but sometimes I needed more out of it. I use the following to get that sound. I put jim dunlop fuzz face (the one hendrix use to use) that goes into a lovetone brown source pedal to get the thick bass feel to it and then an eq set to a smiley face type of setting it works wonders. The lovetone’s gonna set you back a couple hundred but believe me it is very worth the price!!!!! Hit me back and let me know what you think.

      Check out Doug Cerrito and Terrance Hobbs of Suffocation. Though they are disbanded pick up thier Pierced From Within cd, try to ignore the death metal vocals and just listen to the guitar guitar work. They are the total extremity of killer technical guitar work. They seem to never use the same riff and the time changes and chord structuring is just absolutely the finest I have ever heard. When I saw them live a few years back the guitar playing was so excellent, I thought they were just faking it and air-guitarring it to the cd, but they were playing it and I couldn’t believe their precision and technicality. Throughout the whole set not once did I see one of them even look at thier fretboards and the riffs and solos were right on dead perfect. They are tied at the no.1 spot in my book.

      : : Hmm.Take your time and make sure your fingers are properly curled over the fret board.Position your left hand so that only the tips of your fingers are pressing
      : : the notes.Then strum up and down,just brushing the strings.Try not to press the strings too hard,you only need a little presure to ring the notes.Playing clean chords will take some practice.So,put in at least two hours a day doing just that.You’ll get it.
      : : Good Luck

      every guitar player has gone thru the same problem. Icould give you a million sugestions but practice is the answer… try curling your fingers like a cat claw, hit each string one at a time and get a clear note from each string…don’t be afraid to move your fingers around till you get the sound you are looking for…a buddy of mine says you aren’t a real musician untill you’ve played a million notes…best of luck …don’t get discouraged… you never feel worse after you put your guitar down…wavey!

      There are many to choose from. I personally like the ones with LED lights instead of the needle display. Don’t spend more than 0 – 0. Boss makes good ones as well as Sabine. Make sure that you get a chromatic tuner. This type will allow you to tune to any note. Some guitar tuners only allow for standard tuning EADGBE.

      The string trees have caused tuning problems for me in the past. You might try graphtech trees, I love them. Or You try not running any trees at all. The nut might also cause some binding. If it is bone or plastic, try using graphite from a penci. If You hear any noises(ticcks & pings) when tremming thats noot a good thing . GOD LUCK

The amp you ultimately use will have a lot to do w/the sound. Metallica drop tunes 1/2 step, which affects the overall sound of them. Hendrix "mainly" used a Strat through Marshalls. But,TO ME, he sounded lousy live. You can go with a Strat that offers some sort of Humbucker at the bridge position, or IMHO,better yet, a PRS Custom 24,or, better YET, a McInturff Polaris Pro. The PRS is the most expensive, a nice axe,but I don’t like the pups. The McInturff has a LOT going for it in this price range. Hope this helped.

      : Okay, to my knowledge the Duo sonic did not have the slider switches. This would the Mustang. Mustangs were made from the early 60’s right up into the late seventies. Of course the mmodel gained a great deal of popluarity when Cobain played one. I just saw a mustang in Very Good condition, white w/tortoise pickguard for 00. It was a 1966, which I think yours is. The duosonic, had two pu’s but a hardtailpiece and one traditional switch. If the guitar has a whammy, it’s a Mustang.
      The mustang was the # 1 student model along with the Duo Sonic and the Musicmaster. Great, underated vintage fender. you’ve got a keeper I’d say!

      : I think you are going to be ditching the pedals. I know what you are looking for, all out crunch with some defining cleaness to make it more massive. I think you should try going straight into your amp and playing with the other channels. Your Marshall should be able to get thi sound. you’ll have to play with it though. And expect to find this sound at an extemely high volume when the tubes are working hard.

      Hello Death Metal fellow!

      The best guitars for death grind are Jackson\Charvel or BC Rich. You also need nice and hot pick ups. (The X2N will do great!) You also need a gainey amp.
      Death Metal needs sustain which bolt on guitars(like the strat) don’t do well. Idealy you want a neck through axe with a pair of humbuckers. A mahogony or koa body would help also.

      Let the metal flow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      What style are you looking for? Do you want stuff that is technically difficult to improve you picking or some interesting phrasing and such?
      As for difficult stuff to learn to improve your playing the Satrianis Zappas and Vai’s are ok. I prefer to learn Chuck Schundler(Death) and Fredrik Thordendal(Meshugga) to improve my chops.
      As for original interesting playing to improve you creativity, Ty Tabor(Kings X), Denis D’Amore(Voivod), Andy Cohen(Silkworm), and Page Hamilton(Helmet) will teach ya some cool playing.

        I picked up a 1962 Fender Duosonic about 10 years ago for around £200 (about $280), which wasn’t in great condition but sounded fine with the volume cranked right up! Still plays OK, but I think the neck is a little twisted as the low E never seems to tune up correctly. Is there a way to fix this?

      I was wondering wher one might go to get a value for a guitar onthe internet. It is used and has a few blemishes. Is thee anything like Kelly’s Blue Book or Edmunds for musical instruments. If I take it to the local guitar shop, how do I know if I am getting a fair price. Thanks in advance for your help in this matter.

      Yes I totally agree, I suppose things do become popular because many jump on the bandwagon. Personaly I don’t think I could handle another string, I have enough trouble with the 6. But I still think I can be useful for more classical music, I am not a fan of limp, to me it’s pants. Plus wasn’t there a saying about adding strings to your bow being a good thing. Perhaps it’s popular in rock for many different reasons than in classical of some jazz. Cheers, Phil

      : : Let’s be honest. There are only two reasons that 7 strings are popular again(George Van Eps fans notwithstanding): KORN AND LIMP BIZKIT.
      : Steve Vai repopularized it to some extent, but it took those twoto blow it up. Now most manufacturers sell at least seven string models.

      : Hi Tara. Couldn’t find a tougher song to cover eh?
      Really, I remember reading that James Iha did the solo on that song and used a detuning harmony patch on his digitech IP-333. You couild probably get close with an octave pedal and a whammy pedal. No whammy? Use a slide and whiz it up the strings with some delay.
      Good luck. Tell me how it works out.

      I think the pickup cavity is already routed out so you
      can use humbuckers,I’m not sure.But if not,try some high-output stacked pickups before you chop up your axe.Duncan "Screamin’ Demons",Dmarzio HS-3’s, are pretty cool.There are others that you might want to try.

      John Tropea,Cornell Dupree,Icarus Johnson and Lee Ritenour(Captain Fingers)were also big names of 70’s fusion.Most of the stuff Ray Gomez played on was some

        Ray Gomez… surely the most ignored guitar player, among the great ones! I think he is one of the best, I’d say… Beck, Santana, Van Halen… and Ray Gomez, among others, of course. Or should I say Ray Gomez in first place? I’ve been looking for records with his playing in for years, I’ve been at some gigs… emotion at its maximum level. He impressed me so much that i was for one or two hours after the gig wandering around the city, trying to recover.. serious! He’s the essence, the heart of the real thing in rock, jazz, soul, r’n’b… energy!!!

      I don’t know what you mean by "twisting" the arm. You should either push the arm down towards the body, or pull it up to change the note or chord (or go back and forth for a tremolo sound). The arm shouldn’t be screwed in tight. It should just hang there until you want to use it. It sounds like to me that you are trying to screw it in farther to use it, instead of pushing down or pulling up ??

      Eddie G is right. But if your not going to take lessons, a good place to start is to try and mimic your favorite songs, not just the notes and chords, but the sound as well. It is always good to practice scales, but don’t limit yourself to just pentatonic scales. If you don’t read tab , learn it.

      I get a great maiden sound out of my strat (Phantom, Aces, 2mins etc). I use a mashall jackhammer distortion pedal, touch of reverb, & the secret weapon, a pitch shifter (very different to chorus). If used correctly a pitch shifter is awesome for thicking sounds, what I do is send the right channel down a 10th of a semitone & the left up a 10th. I am not a great lover of expensive guitars, look at it his way man went to the moon on technology that was weaker than a scientific calculator which was placed in a washing machine, but look at the pc’s we have today. The same is for guitars on the whole £250 get’s you a great guitar. I am sure many of the older players would agree that us babies are very spoilt for choice. SO on that note, just think of how many FX units are out there, today you can get almost any sound these units & of course you ears. However the only sound that I think a strat just can’t get, or any other guitar for that matter is the gibson SG, if I ever get rich I am going to by me a few of these. See YA phil

      Look at it this way, Keith Richards would say why do people play a 6 string when they can’t master a 5? Personaly I think an extra string can be very useful ie in bass runs, finger picking or thicking chords, listen to a bit of Egberto Gismonti it’s a mix of very complicate jazz with a touch of classical & brazilian styles thrown in, he plays a 7, 9, 13 string it’s a very different sound, sounds like 3-4 seperate instruments. Well that’s what I think, I suppose there are many other styles & sounds other than blues, rock & metal.

        : I dont know what a la Trey Azagoth is but I know one thing. Speed picking is in the elbow not the hand. Use heavy gauge pick and use the elbow. NO WRIST!!!! Speed picking can be developed by many ways. The elbow only coment is somewhat unfounded. However if you want speed the elbow should function like where a ROD is connected to a crankshaft and your pick is the piston. The wrist will help a great deal when it comes to string skipping. Also to better define my argument watch EVH when he does his tremelo/speed picking its almost all wrist and trying to emulate that will drive ya crazy. GET a metronome and practice chromatic and scalular exercises using down, up picking. Also make sure you can move from string to string fluintly. K. Hammett would just sit and watch TV while playing open strings. Developing skills like Trey’s is admirable but find your own voice because music will come out of you then.

        I spent a little time with Al Dimeola just before I left to attend Berklee and he held my wrist and hand and showed me how his picking technique is derived 100% from the wrist. No elbow. Onthe other hand, I took several lessons from Harry Leahey and he showed me how his technique is derived 100% from the elbow. The point is that no one technique is correct for everyone.

        buy an Ibanez edge or lo-pro edge, that would be your best option. You will not have this problem anymore.

      Hmm.Take your time and make sure your fingers are properly curled over the fret board.Position your left hand so that only the tips of your fingers are pressing
      the notes.Then strum up and down,just brushing the strings.Try not to press the strings too hard,you only need a little presure to ring the notes.Playing clean chords will take some practice.So,put in at least two hours a day doing just that.You’ll get it.
      Good Luck

      I’d wait a little while and let the pickups get broken in a bit before i change ’em. If your having trouble staying in tune,check with your guitar tech. It could be the tremelo,neck setup,or mechine heads.

      Practice for 2 hr a day with G A D C Em in their open position & in 6 weeks you will strum them easily. After this go to bar chords try to get F, & then you will learn chords in seconds. A great song to start with is luck man by the verve. It starts G – just to 2 downward strums, then D – just to 2 downward strums then A – which has about 4 strums. This goes around about 5 times then us Em, G, D, A for the chorus. After a couple of weeks you will nail these chords & will develope a strumming style to match the song & hey presto your playing a song. Guitars are very, very easy to play, it’s practicing that’s hard. When practicing just remember, the road to ruin is paved with good intentions! Amen.

      Frank Zappa, too many to list my favs are black napkins, muffin man, city of tiny lights. If you are new to the world of Zappa then listen to the strictly commercial album for a taster. As he did make over 250 albums, he is without doubt the best guitarists ever born, some are faster (slightly) but Frank can play any style from rock to jazz to bebop. Every guitarists should have at least some Zappa music. Phil G

      Whammy bar is just slang for Tremolo arm. Using it just takes practice. Listen to some early VanHalen, eddie knows how to use it. A unison bend is just bending more than one note at a time, at the same time,
      in unison. Make sense?

      Sorry, I hit the wrong key. I saw this thread by chance and wanted to offer my opinion on electronic tuners. If you choose to use one as the sole method of tunning, you are risking the chance of having a lazy ear. That is, you won’t be able to tune without one. When playing a gig, yes, they are very useful since you can’t hear yourself as well. At practice, avoid them. You will learn to tune and that,in itself, requires practice. I use a tuning fork to get started after changing strings, but thats about it. When playing with friends, I let them tune with their tuners and then I tune to them.

      Hmm.A difficult question.Tone quality is a subjective thing.What sounds good to you or I may sound like shit
      to someone else.I think a lot of it depends on your ear
      and musical influences,this will shape your perception
      of tonal quality.Like Women(no disrespect) who want to look like Cindy Crawford,we strive to sound like our guitar heros,often in vain.Studio technology can change and re-arrange sounds tremendously,so it’almost impossible to get the same tone.Also, a lot of the tones we hear are usually accidents that sound good.My first instructor wouldn’t teach me riffs or solos because he wanted me to sound like MYSELF.I don’t have the fingers of Eddie V.,Ray Gomez,or Billy Gibbons.I can only try to understand where these dudes are coming from.In the end I think it’s really about picking YOUR tones and style and being happy with our own sound.
      Play on players!

Hope it helped… Dave Sheldon

      Okay there are 2 considerations, if you just want to record in high quality use a sound blaster live value at £45, don’t spend your £150 on the full live or platinum, they are the same card with the same synth but have 5.1 decoder. Trust me I have set up many studios & know. However what you must consider is, are you going to record vocal or guitar onto a seperate track whilst the sound card is playing the backing track? If you are then you need a full duplex card. Now let me say this very clearly no sound blaster card is full duplex. It may say so on the box, but what it doesn’t say is that it only does this in shitty 8 bit, plus if you wish to add an effect ie an aural exciter or vocal harmonizer on the fly the latency is so long your ears & mouth will just go pare shaped. So this card is only good for recording 1 track at a time with no effects added on the fly. If I was you I would save you hard earned cash & buy a Yamaha sw1000xg which I have also fitted in many professional studios. In a nutshell it’s the dogs bollocks.

      it will wah your balls to the wall……
      dont get some stupid wah with not much variation in wah level…cos we r (at least i am ) not reach enought to buy a wah and we cant hear clearly the difference b4 and afther using it.

      Tone, Total bollocks or the mystery gift from the guitar gods?

      With all our Fx pedals, studio gear, mixed-string gauges, guitars, changing pick ups, putting our speakers on wooden floors, spinning turntables & playing whilst hanging upside down in the shower room, what are we achieving. What is all this talk about tone, what is it, who’s got it, how do you copy it & how do you get good tone of your own. Is this a load of bollocks or the most important area of guitaring? If so why? All I know is in the last 3 yrs I have played with more knobs than Pamela Anderson, only to later to find out tone is also all in the picking, style on playing & technique. Clearly no-one really knows where tone is, & all I know is when someone finds him, the last thing they do is tell every fucker else. So if you have found our tone, please tell us! Phil.

      Well you should go to the doc, but he’ll probably tell you to rest it. I have a funny feeling I know what it may be, because I get it now and then from Bricklaying. When I get calluses from laying bricks it hurts slightly but I still have to lay (no lay no pay)& what happens is your fingers sweat & soften the calluse, then you fingers get very sore, & your brain (nervous system) reacts by attempting to stop you griping, touching with these finger tips, so you get a jerking action. After this phase your tips of your fingers are just numb but the ligaments & joints are very tight & sore. The easest way to see if you fingers are overworked is to ask yourself if you can still grap hot things that you could do before ie a cup of tea. IF this is the case then I suggest you cut you playing time down untill you heal. Plus check your technique. But most importantly of all warm up before playing. However if you are like me & work a great deal then screw the warm up & do what I do Place Your Hands in Hot Water for 2 mins (I wash the dishes before playing, my wife thinks I do this for her, so shhhh!). I hope this helps, but remember use some common sense & have a word in your doc’s ear, plus warm up before playing. I haven’t been playing that long, but the one thing I know is that it gets a lot easier, soon you will be graceful on the strings with just enough force to get the notes & your hands will be stronger, more subtle & with not a calluse in sight. So good luck & good health

      does the triple rectifier have any major advantages over the dual besides 50 extra watts? which would you recommend for brutal distortion? also, i’ve only seen the triple in a goldish color, but does it come in black, too?

      thanks, guitrage

      Hey Raven!
      Any fan of trey’s I’ll be happy to pass some hints.
      I use Dunlop sharp point 1.35 picks with very heavy gage strings. (.13-.56) The strings don’t help with the speed picking, but the picks do. Also, I excercise my right hand by squeezing a rubber ball while sitting around. I learned this trick while I was a pitcher and noticed my picking became much more accurate and quick.
      Now for the fun part. Try to learn, note for note various "difficult" solos AND rhythms. I tend to favor Death songs from Human and The Sound of Perserverence but Morbid Angel will do fine. Learn these in band situations so what you screw up, you can’t just stop.
      Learning Jazz voicings help due to the funny picking.

      Hope this helps and "let the metal flow!"

      What’s up everyone,

      I’m a guitarist who, for months, has been trying to develop my right hand speed (I was a total legato player, my picking was at zero.) Getting into death metal guitar-styles (Morbid Angel’s Trey Azagthoth, for instance) and listening to lots of jazz has helped me realize how important right hand technique really is.
      So, my question is if you people know any tricks or tips for developing this facet of guitar playing. I use Dunlop Tortex .88’s which I sharpen to a point. I use a metronome (responsibly) while I practice and know about the ‘Stylus Pick’ trick where you must ‘feel’ the tip of the pick while you’re playing.
      Any advice?

      Thank you in advance,
      ~~Raven~~

      the studios are fine instruments and depending on the year they have the exact same elecs as any other high end paul…..what your paying less for is the grain of the wood which in your case is painted white and the binding which is time consuming and done by hand ……sure youd like a flame top and some day you might get one but chance are it will sound no different and play no different….itll just look cooler…….I have the only color that is stained and not painted(wine)….and I played every custom…standard..and studio that I could find and decided that the one that felt the best was my LP studio…….now I wouldnt trade a raw power LP for it….Ill have to have them both

      I also use a porta one. Most users record vocals dry & add effects after. I found I could enhance the finished vocals by running the vocal mic into a delay device while recording the vocals instead of recording them dry & adding it later. (Just a little delay) The only bad part is if you use too much delay, your stuck with it on tape unless you re-record your vocals. I have it down to a science so I don’t need a compressor. I record with the on-board EQ flat, so I can add highs and/or lows when mixing down.(I do this for all instruments too) The more you use your Porta 2 the better you’ll get. Watch your VU meters, they should only occaisonally go in the red. Good luck

      : when i use a acoustic my right fingers are too bad, and my sound is very weird but in the electric i dont have problems, is bad that?

      No it’s not bad. The electrics have lighter strings with lighter tension. The acoustics have heavier strings with heavier tension. The "weird" sound may be due to poor intonation on the acoustic. Since electrics have adjustable height and intonation for each string, they have better intonation than an acoustic. I recommend taking your acoustic to a guitar shop to replace the strings with the lightest acoustic strings that dealer happens to sell and to readjust your intonation to those new strings.

      I have worked with the Zoom GFX8. There is a seamless effect that will accomplish this.

      From what I remember, you would have to program the "seamless" effect into the patch that you are going TO and not FROM.

      You can get the pdf Zoom manual (pdf) online at:

      Hi Claudette!

      Playing guitar is much like working out. Even aggressive practice should bring at most just simple fatigue.

      Your symptoms are not typical for a beginning guitarist. It is most likely that your pain is due to something other than the guitar practice. Playing guitar might aggrevate the symptoms however.

      If you are not fond of doctors and have not seen one in a decade and you are actually considering a visit, that tells me you are seriously concerned about your ailment and should find a doctor. You may consider one who specializes in or has experience with sports injuries and arthritis.

      I wish you well.

      : while you may feel that your amp is too loud to record on your pc, consider recording through a mic. you’ll avoid that direct to pc buzz from the ground loop problems and most mics will actually filter out some of those super high frequency ossilations of high gain amps…get a shure sm57 ..(99$) at most places, get it right up to the grill cloth. (add another mic at about 4 feet if you want a more live sound or just back the first mic away..(listen and judge) also get an adapter so you can plug the mic right into your pc.
      this setup is THE pro way to record guitars!

      Hmm. Generally,the term hot means the pickup has very
      high output,loudness.The output is measured in ohms,
      Strat pickups(single coils) are about 6.5-7 ohms. Humbuckers range from 12-16.5 ohms.Much more powerful.
      Remember,louder doesn’t always equal good sound.The Seymore SH-5 is about 14.5 ohms and has good tone, especially when cranked.

      Hi, I bought an acoustic guitar for my daughter and I heard that , anybody can learn to play guitar, so I went on the internet and started to take lessons. I have been practicing every day for around 1 hour a day ( have calluses now) and last Saturday, I couldnt bend my left pointer finger. I woke up the other night in pain and my fingers on my left hand were kind of swollen. The pain in my left pointer finger is still there and wont go away. Now, is this a normal accourance in people who have just started to play guitar, or should i just go to the doctor get checked for athritis or something? If this is normal for new guitar players, I will just wait for the pain to go away, and wont bother the doctor. I havent been to a doctor for ten years, because I have had no reason to, I dont like doctors much. Anyway, I would apppreciate your input, as I dont know any other guitar players, I thought someone from a guitar web site may know something about pain and playing guitars . I sure do enjoy playing , I never thought I could do it and I want my finger to stop hurting so I can resume my practices. Thanks

      i cannot resist dropping a few lines, don’t take this too seriously..

      i’ve been playing gigs for 20 years now, ever since i was eight. by the time i turned eighteen i joined a band that got to do bigger venues than the ones i was familiar with and i couldn’t help noticing that a few pints or so made me feel more relaxed and confident as i sometimes got a bit nervous. it wasn’t as easy to notice that having had a few pints more than that had a disasterous effect in performance. as years have gone by and these days i do maybe 50-100 gigs a year in four different groups, i can say that i can play drunk. the cost is that during the 5 past years, i haven’t played a single gig sober. My point in all this blabber is that if you play as well drunk as you would do sober, you’re either a lousy player or your body doesn’t respond to alcohol any longer. in my opinion, that can be translated as being an alcoholic, which unfortunately seems to be the case with me. to be less philosophical, here’s another point of view. during these years i’ve played with many great musicians and the one thing common with guys i know that can do fabulous tricks and keep their act together whilst drunk is that they DRINK A LOT. I guess you could say they practice whilst drunk but that’s only because they’re drunk almost all the time! this is of course just my sight on the issue and i realize that not all people turn into vinos after a few drinks but i think it doesn’t hurt remembering that these things tend to go over the top with some people. OK, i’ll cut the moralistic crap, hope i didn’t step on anyones foot. have fun, i will anyway! 😉

      sorry to post this on such a broad group; the tokai board was more or less dead. anyway, i’ve had my tokai goldstar sound strat for 8 years now, bought it second hand in august ’92 and been extremely satisfied with it. my problem is the usual; i’d like to know a bit more of the history of my faithful workhorse. i haven’t found a trace of a serial number on it, and that makes date tracking a bitch. the headstock says: "tokai" (in thick script, not fender-type spaghetti script), "goldstar sound" and "oldies but goldies". it has a one piece narrow fretted alder neck with a skunk stripe and a two piece body, supposedly alder too. no s/n whatsoever, neckplate is plain steel. it has kluson style machine heads and a classic style tremolo (gotoh, in my guess). pickguard is one layer white, a little thicker than in the original fender, i think, finish is classic yellowish two tone sunburst. anybody got an idea how to determine when and where it was manufactured? i already checked the tokai registry but it wasn’t of much help.

      Get yourself a electronic tuner. There are a few types: Some have LED’s and some have needles that indicate whether you are in tune or not. You can get them anywhere from 5 up to 0. That will help you until you can get it by ear eventually. It’s good to have one around anyway.

      As far as not getting clean notes: Everyone has this problem when they begin playing. Make sure you are fretting the note cleanly behind the fret. If you are too far away it wil tend to rattle. Also your bass may not be set up properly. Bring it to a shop and have someone set it up for you to make sure everything is OK. Have them show you what to look for so you can learn how to make these adjustments yourself someday.

      There are two times that you’ll hear "hot" in reference to a pickup. The version you mean would be output, which is loudness. Noise doesn’t always come with high output, but it usually does. The other time you’d hear it would be in wiring, the hot wire is the lead wire that sends the signal.
      Hope this helps,

      there limitations on when and with what it can

        Hello all ¡ I recently buy a marshall JCM2000, DSL401 combo , 40 watt with four EL84 output valve. I think this amp have a good classic valve tone (similar to A class british amps like VoXAC30) and I like the sound, but for me is a little for play blues or classic rock and not for modern styles (with multieffects processor added as example). Anyone have an oppinion about the sound of this amp ? Thanks in advance ¡

      You were right, there were three springs currently in the guitar. As I bought the guitar used I do not have any more, but I will head down to a guitarstore tomorrow and see if I can get something there. I might take you up on that intonation-offer though, but I’m not sure yet 🙂

      Being new to playing bass, I have a simple question. What equipment is avaiable/recommended for tuning ? I tried by going by "sound by ear", with a cd, but dont feel comfortable with that (or rather my judgement). Would like to visually see using some kind of electric-equipment, to start with.. hell, I don’t want to be running down the shops each time i think the srings are out of tune.

      I have a Samick bass, been playing a couple months (at home) – read an earlier post here, that this is a common problem with Samick’s – is that true.
      I play mostly A & E strings, frets 1-4 vibrate a lot, and I dont get a "clean" note (sounds terrible!)

      Many thanks for any suggestions – Anders

      : When doing ANY adjustment on a Floyd, do yourself a favor and let a tech do the adjustment. It will save you alot of headache and frustration.

      Not at all … providing you know the basics of setting up a bridge. The trick to dealing with Floyds is to treat it like a fixed bridge guitar. You first put a block of wood in the guitar to hold the bridge in it’s desired final rest position (depending on the guitar style and version of Floyd you use, the two easiest places to consider are under the back end of the bridge in the scooped out cavity on the surface of the guitar or in between the metal block under the bridge and the guitar body through the underside of the guitar). Assuming you are starting with a set up that is close to what you want, you use a block that just fits, and is not being held in place with much force when your bridge is floating, but does not allow much room for play either. Then slightly tighten the screws on the springs so that the block is held firmly in place (if you are going from lighter guage strings to heavier guage strings, tighten it a bit more). At this point you can do pretty much anything you want, including playing with saddle heights, intonation etc – in fact you take all the damn strings off at once and give the neck a good clean without worry! After your new strings are in place AND BEFORE SCREWING DOWN THE LOCKING NUT, make sure things are in tune using your tuning machines (and leave all your fine tuners at about the 1/4 to half way point so you can later use them to raise pitch more than to lower it). Give the srings a good stretch and retune (and repeat) until there is no more detuning caused by stretching the strings, and then begin gradually lossening the screws on the springs until there is almost no tensionleft on the block. At this point slide the block out, do one last tuning with your tuning machines, and then clamp the nut. You should end up with a set up where your bridge is at the correct playing angle (flat surface of the underside of the bridge parallel to the surface of the guitar), perfectly in tune, and perfectly intoned.

      This process may sound complicated but it is actually quite simple once you get the right block and it allows you to change a set of strings and be back in perfect pitch in about 5-10 minutes (i.e. same as a fixed bridge guitar). This approach avoids the seemingly endless tweeks to set up a floyd if you do so leaving the whole system floating.

      That is usually true. The reason is because when you are using a processor, those sounds are pre-set. If you have a decent practice amp, they will sound good. The tones in the amp will suck if it isn’t a quality amp.

      Hi, I’m currently using a Peavey Predator, and am fairly new to the whole guitar-game. Anyways, I’ve decided to go to .011 instead of .009. BUT, when I did the change, I noticed that the whole bridge got lifted up after I had tuned up. I didn’t see it at first, but just realized that the strings were way higher than I was used to. Needless to say I got scared as hell and tuned down the strings till the bridge rested down again. So here’s my question; is it a bad thing when the bridge is lifted like that? Or can I safely retune my guitar and play it in such a position? If not, what should I do so I can get the guitar tuned properly without the danged bridge getting lifted up? Any advice would be most appreciated -Øystein

        Heavier strings are far better in every respect if you can get used to the feel of them. Check it out, I’m assuming that your bridge is a sort of Fender-styled tremolo, with a back plate on the back of the guitar. In any event, if you unscrew that back plate, you should see some springs attaching the underside of the tremolo to a metal piece that’s screwed into guitar with long screws running parallel to the bpottom of the cavity. If your guitar came with more springs, you should put one or two in (most likely 3 are in now). To do this, unscrew the long screws just far enough to muscle the new springs in, too far and the screws will rip out of the wood. Then tighten the screws back up until the bridge is flush with the top of the body. That’s it. If you don’t have extra springs, you could probably either find some, or you might be okay with just screwing in the screws in the underside until your bridge is flush. By the way, after all of this, you might have to change the intonation of your bridge, because thicker strings go over the saddles a little differently. I could help you with that too, if you need it. I hope that this is useful. -Rick

      Hey there. Here’s the thing. I’ve got an Ibanez RG470BK with a LO-TRS trem. When I change my strings, I manage to do it alright. I like to play with a low string action. Normally, I hardly get any buzz, except on the fourth fret on the fourth string. I always get a buzz there. Can anybody tell me why? Should I raise the action? Does my guitar need fretwork? And second, I’m not sure how to set up the intonation on my guitar properly. I’ve heard that if you mess around with the string action (like I have) that messes up the intonation. Should I send my guitar to a tech? Can anybody help me with this problem? Feedback is welcome. Thanks

      I just bought a 1951 Supra lap steel guitar and am having trouble with the pickup.
      I have a little knowledge of humbucker and fender pickups but this one is pretty primitive
      I believe. When i play plugged in, the third and sometimes fourth strings are inaudible.
      Here is my poor description of the pickup: underneath the strings is the normal plate with
      the six tiny screws. On either side of the plate is two magnets(imagine a two holed brick
      cut down the middle). On top of the brick shaped magnets is another plate, a credit card
      shaped metal piece with three holes on one side and three holes on the opposite. When
      disassembled all six strings are audible, but at some point when the magnets and plate are
      screwed in using four screws, the string just becomes dead. If anybody has any suggestions
      I would be grateful.

      I have a Line 6 Flextone 2 and as far as I can tell it’s beautiful. The Jazz clean tone is super with chorus and it models a great tube amp, especially a high gain Mesa Boogie (rectifier on Line 6). People say that they can tell the difference and maybe they can but I think it’s just that they’ve been playing so long that they deeply rely on their "real" tube amp and won’t accept a newie.

      I think a few bevvies can be fine when you want to practice – as long as you don’t get rat-arsed and you don’t do it all the time. There’s something to be said for the lowering of inhibitions and a bit of relaxation on your instrument. Some of my best ideas have come out of being incoherant, but additionally I have vomited while playing and made a total mess of things. You can’t have it both ways.

      All up – if you’re *serious* – I’d make the few drinks the exception rather than the rule. Have fun and make an occasion of it with your mates. But if you have to open a bottle just about everytime you want to jam, practice or gig I’d suggest a visit to the doctor. Alcoholism is an illness.

      But from what you’ve outlined, I don’t think you have anything to worry about.

      : Okay, your at a party or gig & you have one or two pints, just to be social of course, but as we all know after a few, even though we feel merry our playing goes down faster than a valley girl! So should you spend some time practing when slightly drunk (I do not mean get slammed just to practice). I do practice after I come in from my local pub on Friday. Thing is everyone wants to enjoy themselves, & when out a couple of pints is just the ticket. Plus has anyone played well when totally bollocked, even though they did not intend to get that way. Can it be done?

      i love the sound. however, i do get distortion when turned up about halfway. this is fine for funk stuff, but sometimes it’s a little much. i use a compressor to cut down on some of it. i’ve had it looked at and everything tweaked. is there anything i can do to decrease the muddiness a little? or is it maybe the speakers themselves. there is no way that i can see to remove the face to look at them. i don’t want to do any damage in attempting to. lastly, can more power be put into it? how much?

Now play your sound file ie your mp3 song. What will happen now is that this mp3 song will be transformed to a wv at very high quality. To change the settings back simply follow the above a go to output again but this time just click nullsoft wav output plugin and close. Like I said Too easy. Plus remember that soundforge 4.5c will let you totall edit mp3. Hop that helps, PHil G

      i have a list of amps im lookin at purchasing. i play classic rock and some metal (metallica). ive only been playin a year or so. THe amps are: MARSHALL JCM 2000 DSL 401, MARSHALL VS100R, FENDER HOT ROD DELUXE, FENDER PRINCTON 65. if anyone has any info on these (especially teh vs100R) it will be greatly appreciated. as i said, ive only been playin a year so im not too sure on what to look for in an amp.

        If your looking for a metallica sound you might want to try some "Mesa/Boogie" gear, it’s expensive but extremly high in quality. I don’t know if you’ve heard of rackmount gear but it’s basically like seperating the power section and the preamp section ( the knobs), in to two seperate units, A ‘Power amp" and a "Pre-amp". Metallica uses a Mesa/Boogie "tri-axis" Preamp, and a "Strategy 400" power amp, (400 means 400 watts of power The strategy 400 however has been dis-continued. But just like a home stereo amplifier, there are power amps available in both mono and stereo. Mesa/Boogie newest stereo power amp is the "2/90" (that’s: Two Nintey). So if you were interested in that type of sound you could use those two products. And the Triaxis Has ninety Channels!!! If you like the pantera sound " Randall" makes some pretty kick ass amps at a pretty fuckin’ low price. Check out the " RG-100 Head". It’s Cheap But Insane in tone. It is a "intact" amp( the pre-amp and power amp are together as in any other head.) The RG-100 goes for about $900.00 American. And the Two Mesa units go for about $2000.00 each unit Canadian!!!! But if you want the classic Rock sound you probably want a " tubed" amp (mesa/boogie), rather than a solid state sound like a Randall. But check them both out, it’s all about personal preference, the randalls may be just what you want.

      : I do a lot of repair work. Most of the time when somebody comes in and tells me that his guitar won’t stay in tune it’s because it either has old crappy strings on it, or the intonation isn’t set properly, or both. First, put new strings on it and check the intonation on a tuner (play a harmonic at the 12th fret and then fret the note, the fretted note should be the same as the harmonic, if it’s sharp or flat the intonation is out). Check it on each string.

      : It’s probably not the machine heads (tuners) themselves. Gotohs are very well made actually.

      : If you play on really light strings it’ll tend to be hard to keep in tune also, try going up a gauge or two (maybe .011 to .050) if you’re using .009s.

      : If you bend strings and they go flat afterward there are two things: one, make sure when you’re tuning, you tune UP to the pitch, not down to it; two, the strings sometimes catch in the nut if it’s not smooth and the right size. Don’t try to fix this yourself, let a repairman do it.

      :
      : : The problem is you have a Samick. Very low end guitars are hard to keep in tune because the parts are cheap and the wood is probably plywood and not solid.
      : : : Hi,

      : : : I just got this Samick 335 copy, and while it sounds and looks pretty great, it won’t stay in tune. It has a Tuneomatic bridge, and gotoh-ish tuners. What adjustments would you recommend short of replacing the hardware?

      Nothing wrong with Samick they are a quality mid to low end instrument.
      As long as intonation is spot on and thew strings don’t stick in the nut and your machines are good, as the other guy said Gotohs are good I got em on my 1972 Guild S100 and they work better than the original Grovers.
      The key is tune up to the correct pitch and make sure it’s always in tune., always!
      A lot of guys will pick up their axe find that it’s out of tune and just tune up to the closest string without using a tuner. What happens is the neck gets confused unless it always has the same tension on it so it never settles down to a constant tension.
      If you tune to the exact same pitch at all times the neck settles in and gets used to the same pitch and pretty well stays the same,…That’s the answer.

      : : As I wrote to someone below about amps, I swear by my Fender. I’ve been playing guitar for about 15 years, and I think Fender amps are the best I’ve ever heard. (And I’m not a "Fender Guy". I only like their amps actually). As for a specific amp model, I could

      just say get one that has the features you want.

      Get a Fender Prosonic they can do anything,.
      Use an extension cab like say a Marshall 1922 and you’ve got big sound, lots of spread and volume.

      : Yesterday I was told by a few good musicians that Marshall amps are crap for a clean sound & the Fender are even worst on dirty sounds, is this true? The thing is I wish to purchase an amp for no more than £180 but I want the best my money will buy. I have a fantastic digital rig from which I do most of my studio work for pc games and the like, but it isn’t portable. Plus I have some good pedals for over/dist etc. I play most kinds of music. All I want from an amp is some thing that’s loud enough for my studio room, but at a ‘push’ could be used to gig a small hall, ie a loud practice, starter amp. It is very important that the amp has a high quality clean sound, 2 channels & maybe an effects loop & CD in. The amps I have considered are the Marshall G50rcd, Laney Hcm60r. If anyone has heard, or have any opinion on them please tell me. Plus as you all know there are loads of amps to choose from. I only want something that sounds good for the money, so screw the make plus I can’t afford a tube amp. Please give me some amps to check up on. Please help, as I don’t wish to be left at the mercy of reviews & ads. Plus with these views I will know what to tryout in my local music shops. Thanks for your valuable time, all the best. Phil

      What bullshit! Yah can’t make those sort of generalisations especially when both manufacturers make so many diverse models.
      I’ve got a Fender Prosonic and a Marshall JCM600.
      I can get awesome dirty filth out of the Prosonic and nice smooth clean tones out of the JCM600.
      I must admit that generally Fenders give better clean tones but Marshalls aren’t shit for clean.
      As far as Fenders giving shit dirty tones! Have you ever heard Neil Young’s awesome filthy tones, he uses Fender.

      You always think you still sound good after a few. I had one of our early gigs video taped. We sounded great & looked good during the first set, but the free booze kept coming (we thought that was great) by the 3rd set we were drunk. We sounded bad and looked worse. Just standing there playing (crappy) like zombies. Most of the crowd was blasted so it didn’t matter a whole lot. My limit’s 2 beers when playing now. If anyone thinks they can sound good drunk, have someone video tape you whilst drinking & playing and find out if you can.

      I had an Ibanez catalog when I was in Germany in 1977-1978, and saw a double neck Fender copy with a 4 string bass and Strat type neck.
      Were any made, and are any for sale out there?
      Does anyone have a copy of that catalog? It was a three page fold out with TONS of different guitars.

      I’ve never tried something like that before, but as long as the impedence matches between the head and cabinet, it should work just fine. If I’m not mistaken, the VS Cabinets are a little smaller than the standard types of Marshalls, but that should be about the only difference.

      : does zoom 505 good enought to simulate amps and give warm distortion (pro stantard…recording..live..etc)?

      Not sure about 505
      I have 505 II and can get good sound through headphones on the modded Marshall, Mesa and Peavey ..fender also to some extent.
      Good enough for recording, super with pedal in front ( TS5 or XXL)
      don’t like at all the other disto module sounds (rythm, od, dist, blues, lead, metal)
      Modulation effects are from satisfactory to good.

      drawbacks with Zoom505II imho:
      – you can’t have delay and reverb together (very bad)
      – delay is too short (370 msec.)
      – delay is ping – ponged form left to right if you are in stereo (awful)
      – needs lots of tweaking to get good sound ( but you can get good sounds = tone)
      this is all what i can say so far
      it’s not POD of course, but i have Pod as well and to some extent zoom505II has its strenghts over POD( price at first)
      my suggestion : try it thoroughly , don’t stick to the default patches , they sound horrible at least through headphones
      if 505 misses the amp models better look for a 505II in my opinion, cause that’s what makes it for the 505II.
      good luck

However the sw1000xg has a fantastic range of distortions & amp sims, from tube to combo & stack, plus eq’s & more importantly an accurate compression tool. If it’s for vocals just use the xg.

      What you should do is figure out how much you can afford, and then find someone in your area that knows about guitars, and have him/her go with you to the music store, to make sure you get something worth the money. You should be able to get a pretty good acoustic for 00 or more….look at the Alvarez Yairi models, they have nice necks and a pretty good sound.

      I am going to get on the Fender bandwagon too. I have played through lots of amps. (I ran a music store for a while) The Fender amps always seemed to give the best sound for the $. Check a few out with YOUR guitar. Good luck

      True.Fenders were not designed to "break-up" like Marshalls.And Marshalls don’t sound very good clean.For
      gigs and club dates I use a Tech21 60.It’s pretty loud,
      I like the distortion and reverb.It’s also very portable.The price is about 50.00.It does the job.

      I have the old pickups on a sheraton – they can be muddy and youve got to play around alot with tone and balance to get a good sound. Apparently the new pickups are vacuum packed which reduces some squeeling problems at high volumes. Don’t know if theyve changed the spec of magnets and winding though.
      I’m getting some kent armstrongs – which are apparently a big improvement for half the price of Seymour Duncans.

      : i heard the pickup on ephiphone are now better and generally quite good which doesnt require to be changed to duncan or EMG…pls advise,thanks

      I am not a good guitarist, don’t know that much about gear & amps but I know every fucking thing about Pc recording. My friend there is only one card for a guitarist who wishes to have a Pc studio & that is the Yamaha Sw1000xg. 12 stereo tracks 144 studio quality effects (you would need 5 rack units to achieve this as they can be applied to all the channels) in realtime with no latency. An onboard 0r2 mixer, I will repeat that an onboard 0r2 mixer. Plus the best Xg synth available to date. Used by hollywood for 9 films this year. But the best part is it onlys cost £340 from simply computers. But hey don’t take my expert opinion check out their site. Trust me this is the only card, plus the upgrades are unreal. http://www.xgfactory.com/ All the best Phil, oh & just to annoy everyone, the effects on the card will accurately replicate that listed gear. The only criticism I have is It aint portable.

      Hi,

      There are 3 kinds of tubes that are used in guitar amps:
      1.Preamp tubes. These "prepare" the signal to be amplified. Most common are the 12ax7. Normally you will find at least 3 in an amp but some small amps only have 1 (Fender Champ) and others will have up to 8. These run from about for current European or Chinese makers to 0 for NOS(new old stock) American or English tubes.
      2. Power Tubes. These amplify the signal. These come in a variety of types. Most common are EL34(Mashalls) 6L6(Fenders, Mesa) EL84(Vox, Matchless) 6V6(low wattage Fenders). There are more but I won’t name them all. These usually come in pairs. 50 watts marshalls have 2 EL34’s 100 watt Marshalls have 4 EL34s. They HAVE TO BE BOUGHT IN MATCHED PAIRS!!!!!!! These cost around 5 per matched pair depending on quality of tube.
      3. Rectifier tube. This tube converts (rectifies) the AC signal to a DC signal. Most amps of today use a solid state rectifier. Some that use the tube are Mesa Rectifier series, Vox AC 30 and 15, almost all boutique amps.(Matchless, DrZ, Victoria etc..)

      Current producers of tubes are Sovtek, Ei, JJ, Ruby, Groove Tubes. The Mesa tube is a Sovtek relabeled. Don’t let them trick ya! I think the Groove Tube is, by far, the best new tube available.
      Most people will agree that older tubes are better. They are built with superior parts and higher quality construction. Mullard, RCA, GE, Siemens are a few of the NOS tubes you may run across. Expect to pay up to 00 per tube for some of these.
      Sovteks are a good inexpensive tube and will get the job done. Power tubes should be replaced about once a year depending on how often you play. YOU SHOULD REPLACE ALL POWER TUBES AT THE SAME TIME! Do not just change 1 of the 4. Once you get familiar with different tubes you will be able to recognize the small differences between them.
      There are a couple good books around that give info on tubes. "The Tube Amp Book" by Aspen Pittman (the groove tube guy) is an excellent reference.

      Hope this helps!

      I do a lot of repair work. Most of the time when somebody comes in and tells me that his guitar won’t stay in tune it’s because it either has old crappy strings on it, or the intonation isn’t set properly, or both. First, put new strings on it and check the intonation on a tuner (play a harmonic at the 12th fret and then fret the note, the fretted note should be the same as the harmonic, if it’s sharp or flat the intonation is out). Check it on each string.

      It’s probably not the machine heads (tuners) themselves. Gotohs are very well made actually.

      If you play on really light strings it’ll tend to be hard to keep in tune also, try going up a gauge or two (maybe .011 to .050) if you’re using .009s.

      If you bend strings and they go flat afterward there are two things: one, make sure when you’re tuning, you tune UP to the pitch, not down to it; two, the strings sometimes catch in the nut if it’s not smooth and the right size. Don’t try to fix this yourself, let a repairman do it.

      : The problem is you have a Samick. Very low end guitars are hard to keep in tune because the parts are cheap and the wood is probably plywood and not solid.
      : : Hi,

      : : I just got this Samick 335 copy, and while it sounds and looks pretty great, it won’t stay in tune. It has a Tuneomatic bridge, and gotoh-ish tuners. What adjustments would you recommend short of replacing the hardware?

      A little history. Marshall are evolutionary descendants of the Fender Bassman head. Over the years I’ve played through all sorts of amps. You can’t really recreate that big Marshall sound without a big Marshall, or without a bunch of expensive rack gear that makes it sound just the same for twice the price. That being said, about the only thing most Marshalls are good for is that one tone.

      I use a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe for band practice and it’s fine. It has plenty of gain and sustain. Of course it sounds nothing like a Marshall.

      You might take a look at the JCM2000. It’s supposed to have a good clean tone as well as awesome crunch.

      My personal recommendation however is to go with a Mesa/Boogie. I’ve been using a Mark III Simulclass since 1993 and it’s got awesome clean tone and awesome distortion. It also cost me 200 back then, the new ones are closer to 000 (I’m not going to take the time to convert that into Pounds).

      I hope you find what you want.

      Steve

      : Yesterday I was told by a few good musicians that Marshall amps are crap for a clean sound & the Fender are even worst on dirty sounds, is this true? The thing is I wish to purchase an amp for no more than £180 but I want the best my money will buy. I have a fantastic digital rig from which I do most of my studio work for pc games and the like, but it isn’t portable. Plus I have some good pedals for over/dist etc. I play most kinds of music. All I want from an amp is some thing that’s loud enough for my studio room, but at a ‘push’ could be used to gig a small hall, ie a loud practice, starter amp. It is very important that the amp has a high quality clean sound, 2 channels & maybe an effects loop & CD in. The amps I have considered are the Marshall G50rcd, Laney Hcm60r. If anyone has heard, or have any opinion on them please tell me. Plus as you all know there are loads of amps to choose from. I only want something that sounds good for the money, so screw the make plus I can’t afford a tube amp. Please give me some amps to check up on. Please help, as I don’t wish to be left at the mercy of reviews & ads. Plus with these views I will know what to tryout in my local music shops. Thanks for your valuable time, all the best. Phil

        Phil: I own a Fender Stage 100 head along/4×12 speaker cab. I use a Boss GT-5 for my effects processing, so any onboard jargon doesn’t really impact me. If you are mainly going to do your processing with pedals, I’d go with a Fender solid-state. Great clean tone, and, if you’re processing your sound anyway, it doesn’t really matter what the onboard distortion is like.

      The distortion will most likely come from a pedal or effect anyway, so the natural distortion of your amp shouldn’t be too important. I swear by Fender amps. Ever since high school when one friend had a Marshall stack and another had a Fender, I knew which one I liked better. And I play 80% distortion using a BOSS Heavy Metal pedal. My Fender amp is the best I have ever heard. I am not a fan of other Fender products, but I swera by their amps.

      As for your first question, the Marshall vs. Fender debate has been going on forever!! Personally, I am a huge Fender fan! In fact, aside from my effects, everything I own is Fender. Anyway, Marshall’s clean tone isn’t the greatest, it’s just average; because Jim Marshall wanted to create a very high gain amp (and he certainly did!) that would just plain knock your socks off. Clean tones just don’t do that. Now, Fender, on the other hand, has the greatest clean tone ever because that was Leo’s goal. He originally wanted to just make it possible to hear the guitar when everyone else was playing too. So, they are two completely different amps that serve two completely different purposes. Fenders dirty tone is more of just a plain old overdrive than it is a huge crunchy sustain as in Marshall’s case. As for the amp you should choose, you should play as many as you can, figure out what kind of tone than brings out your playing style and find an amp that fits the bill. I don’t know how much money that is in U.S. currency so I really can’t help you there, but trust you ears, and have fun.!!!!!!!!

      I own a POD Pro. It is a great tool for recording. I don’t know about playing out with it though. It seems to hold up OK, but I haven’t made up mind if it is good enough to play out with. I would not say they are shit, though. What are you basing that on? They certainly seem to be pretty prevelant in professional recordings.

      According to their website, that Serial # is from 1961. They started making 335s in the late 50s (’57 or ’58 I think), so it could certainly be a 335. They’re easy to identify, just look for these things.

      Double cutaway, F-holes, a solid piece down the center of the body (aka semi-hollow body construction), two humbucking pickups, 4 knobs, 1 toggle switch. Either dot inlays or small (single) rectangular inlays in the fingerboard.

      Go to http://webserver.gibson.com/downloads//bluebook/GibsonSERIALNUMBERS.pdf to find the serial numbers.

      Go to http://www.stewmac.com to see if you can find the part for the machine head (tuning key).

      : Got a Gibson that I think is an old ES335, but was told that the serial number reflects an older guitar. The serial # is 41706,has adjustable bridge and Bigsby tailpiece, original. I’m also looking for a collar for one of the tuning pegs. Any help from anyone? Thanks, Whimsmith

      I actually figured it out.
      The words are song titles followed by some lyrics. You can figure them out pretty easily too, you can figure out which songs are which based on number of letters, and then you have some letters decyphered to figure out the rest. It was kinda fun, even. I think that there’s no Q, and maybe no Z, don’t remember, though.

      Howdy,

      Man, I use a 20 watt to play places that small. A 40 to 60 watter getts LOUD man. 50w is normally too loud for most people. Do you play clean or distorted normally. That may be a problem. Both of those amps have Master volumes so that helps. You may not get too much headroom though.
      The Beatles used 30 watters at Shea stadium in front of like 30,000.

      Howdy!

      Try some DiMarzio or Duncan Single coils. They tend to have more output. The Fender fat 50’s are higher output than normal Fenders also.
      By your description you may want to consider P-90’s though. They are a true single coil with great output. They can get into the humbucker range but generaly don’t.
      Since you say you have some experience with building, maybe try 2 humbuckers wired so you can split the coils into singles. I have done this with a DiMarzio X2N and an EMG. I get a whole plethora of sounds comming out of 1 axe without having too many bells and whistles.

      Good Luck!

Anyway, it always looks cooler to have a Marshall than a Crate, you know what I mean? Fender makes some nice solid state stuff, but for me it is Fender tube or nothing.

      the fender princeton supposedly has some tube simulating chip-set that makes it almost impossible to tell that it is a solid state, but it probably doesn’t have good distortion. Good point about marshall and crate…

      Hi, look, though I’m female, I have had some woodworking experience
      and have, with the help of my older brother, built a solid body guitar
      that looks like a PRS with two horns, etc.. I want a thick sound but
      not as thick as a humbucker. What I’m hoping to do is, have the thing
      wired as a Stratocaster, with single coil pickups and a five position
      switch to allow the "out of phase" sound.

      Does anyone know of any single coil Strat style pickups that will give a
      much more solid, more powerful sound than the standard single coils? Are
      there any more powerful, even ultra powerful single coil pickups out there
      made for a Strat?
      Thanks in advance for any help/advice on this.

      : You might be able to get close with that set up. I am not familiar with the guitar model you mentioned. It sounds like you want something with at least a humbucker at the bridge. The RP2000 looks impressive from what I have seen. The amp needs to have a 12 inch speaker so you can drive it hard. Any less they dont respond well especiialy if it is a combo amp.

      well, seeing as u’ve got a computer, or access to one anyway, i’d go digital. i’ve got the audiowerks 2 package, thats got logic audio 3.6 in it and it’s good. it takes a wee wee while to get the hang of it, but there’s many many help places on the net for it and it’s i think 16 tracks, so no probs runnin outta tracks. and also u’ve got midi possibilities w/digital

      Hi, I just made up a very beautiful melody on my guitar and I want to be able to record when I play my guitar to capture the melodies that like and would want in the future to elaborate on. What kind of recorder should I get? I think that one that has 4 tracks might be good? I do not really know where to start and thought that someone could help me.

      OK, someone please help me. My brain has fallen and it can’t get up. Who is the rockin’ blues guy named Gary ******? I can’t believe I can’t remember his name. It’s not Wright, but thats what I keep getting hung up on.
