When can one officially call themselves a guitar player? I always tell people that if you can consistently play a fully barred B or F, you're there.

Hi folks, I told my mother I would record her barbershop quartet. I plan on doing this at my Mom's house main floor which has a large L-shaped room filled with furniture, hardwood floors etc. I am seeking some suggestion on what technique to use. I dont have any really nice mics, but I want...

Hi Folks, I have a basement studio room which is roughly 18'L x 14'W x 7.5'H. This summer I finally hope to get around building some panel traps, and absorbers using the semi-rigid insulation. I also intend to treat the ceiling somehow. My goal is to improve the sound of the room for jamming...

Hi folks, I have the itch for a new guitar amp, and am considering the Deluxe Reverb Re-issue. Can anyone who uses this amp provide feedback? Also under consideration are the newer Vibrolux Reverb, and (little out of my price range) the Vibro King. I haven't played the DRRI yet, but am...

Personally yes. Not lately. About 3 years ago. It was a reallly nice Japanense Squier Strat. Not an overrly expensive guitar, but in my opinion a very unique one. I never replaced it. It made me extremely mad to think that some punk-ass teen-ager sold it for a hit of crack to an even...

:confused: Im hearing that one of these are often incorporated in a LD condenser mic. Also hear they are used when micing loud sources. Can I still use my V67 close (12") to a cranked guitar amp without one? Are there external pads available? Do I really need one? Can I just turn mic...
