hey its me paul the guy on the e-mail if u want a good site checkout tabcrawler.com by the way dont click the link on my name its not working

This is the year 2001 isn't it ?? Hey, if you can get a great sound using some effects, use them. I remember BB King playing on the tonight show (with Carson, god am I that old?) He tried to play straight through his amp, no effects,no nothing, & sounded like shit. (even though he played great)He thought his sound wouldn't be "pure". After that, his sound was always good.(Wonder why?)

: Hey guys,
: I was just wondering: Do you think the use of FX such as reverb(s), phaser, flang, echo, delay, and all that other stuff is kinda like cheating? cause I have been using delay to make some really nice sounding

isolated solos but I want to know what my peers think of such FX.

I look at it like this, 'Does your audience want to hear the same sound all night?'. Guitar players who break the mould always achieve greatness.

I can't tell you how to wire it, but I can tell you where to find out.

Good Luck!

Danelectro made Silvertone. New Dano parts are pretty similar.

Oh, didn't realize you were the same far-away guy. Yes, there don't seem to be as many guitar players as there used to be.

: I have an accustic guitar that I need new strings for. I have had it for 2 years and it needs to have new strings. What kind of strings are the best to get?

.11 gauge is the most usual. Try not to buy the cheapest, you'll regret it later.

If it's a Spanish or classical guitar, which uses gut strings, I can't help, but if it uses metal strings then I think it's better to use cheap strings and change them often to get a "crisp" ringing sound. All strings lose the higher frequency harmonics over time because they get gook from your fingers on them and it damps the sound. I think thinner strings are easier to play because they are looser, but they are more suseptable to finger gook and pitting/breaking than thicker ones, which hold thier tone longer.

If you are looking for a really good string at a decent price, I reccomend DiAddario bronze 80/20's. They have a very good full sound and nice crisp high's at under $10. Just for steel stringed acoustic. For electric, I only use GHS boomers when possible. Those are just my favorite. You may have to go through several types to see which ones have the tone you want. For acoustic, I would definately go with 11 gauge, for electric, maybe 9's or 10's for standard tuned guitars.

: I just bought the RP300 guitar processor, and it says that I have to set the tone controls to a flat EQ. How do you do that?? Keep in mine that I own a Line6 Spider 112.
: Thanks to anyone who takes the time!!

I don't speak english very well, but seems like you'd try to set all the tone controls (bass, mid, treble, whatever) to center or LESS, not MORE. If I'm wrong please correct -or erase, @moderator- me...

Hi i saw your message.
i recently bought a used Tanglewood Pioneer guitar which was amazing. However i have learnt a few things since:
You can save a HUGE amount by buying used. I got £200 off the guitar's "brand new" price.Thus you can get a higher quality of guitar as it is more affordable!
However, the laminate on the guitar's neck has cracked badly. Check areas around the neck and pickups VERY CAREFULLY, for any signs of scratching before you buy, dents or cracks- even a small crack can open up. I have seen guitars with cracks covering the back entirely- just from being dropped.
Make sure that you buy from a reputable place- and perhaps get some kind of guarantee on the guitar.
Talk to as many people as you can- they will tell you a lot, eg what you should pay for a specific type of guitar, etc. And look on the Net to get ideas of used prices. Anyway, hope that helps you! and enjoy the guitar if you do get it.
