I'd like to know the answer to this one, too. Anybody??? Bueler? Bueler?

It depends on the experience level. It took me many years before I started understanding the science of the technicalities of the instrument itself beyond string changes, tuning and polishing. Nobody taught me that stuff so I didn't know any better. Even the guitar magazines are typically...

Make everyone get a pedal tuner and insert it into their effects chain. Pretty hard to screw up tuning to one of those. Then when things sound off, after the song you can yell "group tune!" and everyone can take a minute to retune using the pedal. It won't fix some of the other issues, but it...

That's why I give him his props. He did it. And it fits U2's style and sound perfectly. It's simple, yet complex sounding all at once. Unique, yet replicable. But he's the one who did it. Gotta give him props for doing what he does so well.

Nice job. I like the samples you posted. Especially "In My Way".

From what I've heard, and this is second-hand information, they have tough, hard to comply-with standards for stores to be distributors, so they are not carried by many places.

I'd recommend that, too. They have headphone jacks and emulated line outs which is great for recording in compromised situations (noise in the area, have to be quiet, late at night).

I had a horrible no-name acoustic guitar that the neighbors gave me. Their whole family learned on it, and when they all grew up, they gave it to me so that I could learn. Was mighty nice of them to do that. But... Man was that a horrible guitar. The nylon strings were about a quarter...

How old is the student. My kid is 6 and I wouldn't dream of introducing bar chords yet. And younger kids have trouble with timing and tempo. Generally, that comes later. I didn't learn bar chords until I had been playing for quite a while. Mastered single note transitions, timing, and...

LOL. Thanks everyone. The reason I asked was because I was selling the guitar. It was in perfect mint condition, and I scratched it while packing it up to send it out. DOH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :( I like the make up the story idea, though. After carefully considering the many suggestions...

I had many a teacher, friend, or bandmate write out an arrangement of a song for me. I've bought many a songbook or sheet music, but I've had many a song taught to me as well.

Light, Help!!!!! :confused: You guys are a riot, by the way. :D More info, it's an electric guitar. Dark red stain. Clear-coat laquer.

Heh heh. Thanks... And there I was getting all excited that someone had an answer for me. :D

I've scratched the finish on my guitar. I don't think it's down to the wood. It's a very thin scratch through the laquer. The scratch shows up as bright white. If you buff it for a moment with a very slightly damp rag, the scratch completely dissappears. When it dries, the white scratch...

I don't understand rule #3, either. I depend on lawyers to introduce me to reputable individuals that they have seen have positive results in the marketplace, i.e., venture capitalists, etc.

Bowling for Soup has bits and pieces of some of their songs tabbed out on their website. But it's a prime example of "bad tabbing" in that they left out all the good stuff (the background layering that's harder to pick up). They basically just give you the chord changes and a couple of riffs.

Indeed, where have you seen lyric books for sale at all? And this is another exampe of the music industry getting it wrong. Who is going to shell out $20 for a book of lyrics to all of The Offspring's songs off the latest album? That's just too much money for too little value. Especially...

I was impressed by GuitarPro. PowerTabs is an adequate free alternative. Not as good as GuitarPro, but it's free.
