I really want to practice improvisation on guitar, and I figure the easiest way to do that would be to get some backing tracks to solo over. Anyone know of any good places to get some backing tracks? In terms of type of music; bluesy. Thanks!

Anyone ever use one of these? they look very interesting. I would love to try one. What kind of sound are they like? and how do they really work? Do you talk through the tube and that goes to the amp? or what's the dealio? Thanks. -Elliot

Less than $600, less than 40 lbs. and a good warm distortion tone. I've been thinking of a vox possibly. AND...Output jack for extension speakers. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Anyone have any suggestions? I play punky type music, but I like a heavy tone. I need an amp with a footswitch capability as well. I was looking at the Peavey Valve King. Or maybe a fender amp. Like a blues junior or something. Marshalls don't seem worth the money for me. But yeah...

Anyone have any suggestions? My price range isn't too bad...under 1000 bucks would be preferable. I'm looking for a pretty nice guitar. Thanks for the help! I've looked into cheaper Takamine's (Spelling?) But I don't really know what to look for. Thanks again! -Elliot

So I'm looking into a new guitar and I realized that it has Active pickups. I'm almost positive that my guitar right now has passive pickups, but I'm not sure how to tell. What is the difference between the two? Thanks! -Elliot

So I saw this pickup and I'm interested. Anyone have any experience with these suckers? What kind of tone does this thing put out? Anybody know? Ha, thanks. http://www.amazon.com/WD-Music-Products-MOTHERBUCKER-DOUBLE/dp/B0006ZNBSM -Elliot

My friend reccommended me to get a patchbay the other day... Any suggestions on which one to get?

I'm wondering if anyone knows the prices of new mesa boogie amps... Specifically... Single Rectifier Solo head, Dual rectifier head, and triple rectifier head, then the lone star series, and mark series. I'm just wondering so I know what I'm comparing prices to when I am shopping used...

So I'm looking into buying a Mesa Boogie...I've heard amazing things... I'm not into spending a lot of money, I'd buy used. What are the usual prices for these? I'm looking for a Mesa Boogie head, preferably a Rectifier head, for under $1000. Also, a combo amp would be fine also, my real limit...

I'm starting to realize that new amp is just too expensive of an option for me right now so I'm looking into pedals to help my tone out a little. I have an Ywngie Malmsteen (however you spell his name) overdrive pedal and it's working decent for me, needs more bass mainly. I'm looking for a...

I really need a new amp...Right now I have a crappy line 6 spider II 2x12 I want tube. I can't afford a head and a cab, so I'm looking into a combo tube amp. Anyone have any suggestions? I play music from punk type distortion to decently heavy metal. That's what I'm looking for if that...

So I have an ESP f-100... http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/ESP-F100FM-Electric-Guitar?sku=516678 The switch that toggles using bridge pickup(down/right), both pickups(middle), and neck pickup(up/left). So I'm wondering if there is a way I can fool around with the wiring and make it so...

So alright, I know this was probably a stupid Idea, but I had to try it. I plugged my friends head (marshall mg100hdfx) into my line 6 spider two...yeah, wow! I tweaked all these things and found this very awesome crunchy, scratchy, distorted tone. Sounds awesome, I'll try and record some of it...

Me and my buddy decided to start makin' music the other day, and we came out with this. www.myspace.com/greenhillsofafrica www.numberonemusic.com/greenhillsofafrica Both songs are fairly different from eachother, all sort of ambient type music. Loads of fun. Have a listen, and comments and...

I was watching some videos of Albert Hammond Jr.'s solo album band play and he had this keyboard where he blew through a tube to play it. Very small. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2C0zUVoDRjY It's in that video, you'll see it being used a couple times here and there... Now can anyone tell...

Me and my friend are thinking about building a guitar someday just for the hell of it. Yeah, I know there's A LOT you have to do, but I just have one question for now. Would it be possible to build the guitar with a built in pedal? like...put it in to the right of the bridge and somehow install...

I'm constantly looking for new toys to buy and the other day I played an old-school moog synth and I loved it. So it will definitely be one of my near future investments. I'm looking for something that will get a pretty cool sound fairly easily. If that makes sense. Simple but fun. The...

So I'm thinking about getting a new guitar... My first concern is that this guitar has a whammy/tremelo bar... I want a guitar that sounds decent and has good action. 24 frets would also be very nice, but I can do without.. I'm looking for a guitar under $400... I'm definitely considering...

Anyone have any suggestions?? I'm looking for some nice locking tuners with a high ratio, preferably 18:1 or so. Anyone have any suggestions? I need 3 on each side tuners, if that makes sense. Thanks for the help! -Elliot
