alright i decided to put another spring on the back of my strat's bridge. so now i have 4, but now my g-string always goes low. does the arrangement of the springs matter? i looked on my friends strat and his springs a arranged different. here's how my springs are arranged: if each availabe...

i use a combination of using the fingernail of the index finger and the pad of the tumb w/ the pick in the middle of course. i use artificial harmonics a lot but i definatly dont use them in the metal way. i like to use artificial harmonics when i'm playing triple octaves when i'm playing jazz...

i've been looking for a hollowbody jazz guitar thats not enormously expensive. i posted this a while ago and people suggested a joe pass epiphone model that run somewhere around $600. I'm looking for other possibilities that are out there. I went to the Dearmond site and looked at a X-155...

alright the fake thing i was talkin about is where the guitarist actually isn't playing. i know about the 4 to the bar rhythm & the triad chord voicings & i have been practicing them and getting a lot better. my fast swing type comps have drastically improved. thanks to all you cats who posted...

the only picks i've ever seen are plastic things. what else do they make picks out of? and where would you get picks that are not made of plastic?

allright listen up cats- A college jazz band came to our school today and played a concert. they had two bands. one was a vocal group with a rhythm section. the vocalists did some skattin'(is that what its called? where they improv but without words...). My main focus was on the rhythm...

i've had jazz theory under my belt for a while now, but within the past few months i have been trying, and successfully at that, to get away from the Pentatonic-Blues based improvs and explore some different styles. i figure that jazz has endless possibilities in terms of where it can evovle...

i could be wrong, but REM also is playing Danelectro. in their latest video, i think it was on like a month back, they all had danelectro. they had daneclectro guitars & basses. and since we are on the subject of danelectro....does anyone like their pedals? all i've seen are those small things...
