Holy Cow !...that fantastic little clip-on tuner....Geezuss I'm so happy with my latest guitar accessory thingy: a little $15 chromatic tuner that clips on your headstock, reads darn well in the dark and even under daylight, gives the tempo. It's not cooking diner, but almost ! ;-) Everytime I...

Stevieb....that view of yours on the subject is very wise. I totally agree with you. I'm one of the 2 guitarists and I can report that the 2 guitarists here are really not into an ego thing at all. We're into having an as good as possible sound AS A BAND. At 45 and 47 years old, we, the guitar...

Ok, let me straighten this all out: Yes, it's a Fender Champ 25 SE and yes, I'm looking into maybe changing the 6L6's to something else like EL34, for example, if it's a good idea, if this represent an added value tonewise. I mean, I like when the clean amp tone break up early, without having...

Hi guys, Time for me to change my tubes in my Fender Champ, the power amp tubes. I've got two 6L6's at the moment. I am wondering if it could be a good idea to try and change for different tubes. Yes....no ?.....if yes, for which tubes should I go ? I play mostly blues and hard rock tones...

Hi, Whether during rehearsal or in live situation, with a 2 guitar band, how would you set up both guitars/amp/Fx for sonic balance ? First thing first, when both guitars are playing the rythm parts what are your views on their respective EQ-ing, Fx, etc. Then... What is your take on the...

Oh, one heck of a good song also that I'd love to play, but I'm not enough classically trained for that is that fantastic song from Rick Emmet of the Canadian rock trio "Triumph", the song is "Midsummer's daydream"...take a look at Rick Emmet playing it live, on Youtube, put aside the spandex...

Last night, I was at a friends place and there was here deceased son's old "Degas" cheap acoustic guitar in the corner. Funnily enough I remembered CaptGoldenEars comment where he says "it keeps my calluses hard" and right afiter I had read it in the afternoon, I had checked my own calluses to...

Ahahaha.....That is exactly what I was envisionning when I started this thread....that kind of fun and original comment. Cool !

Wow ! That's cool to hear (read!). You see that's exactly my vision of things too with that BR-800. You got the best set-up for the least amount of money, so to speak. And it's compact. I look forward buying it ! I wonder about the quality of the COSM effects....some say it's thin or not really...

lllllllllllllll

Out of curiosity, what is/are your favorite chord(s) ? We all have a few chords that particularly sound good to our ears, some that we consider to sound like magic, independently the song they're in.

For me, it's kind of....I grab a guitar, just about any guitar and as soon as I have it in my hands, I start feeling good inside o'me. Then I rub my left hand all along the neck in order to feel it and then let my fingers toy around anywhere they feel.....one blues scale here at fret 5, a few...

Well, Antichef, the obvious example to what youre saying here is the Bathroom with all its tiles and ceramic and mirrors. Dont we get a cool reverb there hey ? That remionds me of an anecdote where in my youth, I was in a metal band and we used to have our rehearsal studio in a former medical...
