Wow, I had the urge to see if I could find any info on my first guitar, and lo and behold, I found a picture of _exactly_ what it was. A 1966 Harmony H-79 12-String, bought out of a gas station window in Havelock, Ontario, Canada, in 1974 for $75.00. I was 11 going on 12. My uncle gave it to me...

I wrote this on the eve of the winter solstice in 1991, and figured it was a most opportune time to record it. http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=1324&alid=-1 Looking for ideas on how to expand the tune, of if I will rely on its simplicity, and just improve the performance and...

just write a damn normal song ? The last songs I've written have been for specific reasons, and they've taken me no time at all, but I just want to write a normal song. One that moves people, makes them listen to the lyrics, makes them want to hear it again. Even me, I want to hear it again...

Cool ! For Guitarist Palm users http://www.freewarepalm.com/music/fretboard.shtml :cool: I'm pretty impressed - this may come in handy while on trips. mike

I just got Amplitube and am having a bitch of a time trying to get Cubasis VST/32 to give me a playback through the plugin. Actually, It appears it is not specifically related to Amplitude, but to all my VST plugins. Anyway, it's the first time I've tried to use a plugin for real time...

Where I work, we have a tradition of buying beer for all our colleagues who aren't getting posted overseas - it is assumed that since we will be making oodles of cash, it is only fitting we do this. There are 12 of us going out this year, all over the world. I'm off to Seoul. As the defacto...

Anybody familiar with this mic ? All I can find on a site and web search is the C1000S. Totally different mic ? They look totally different, anyway. I'd just like some detail as to what it is - electret condensor is my guess. Sitting in my bag, and played with it, but would like to know a bit...

As I said, the rest of the tune has been lost, and I just can't recreate it. I think I went on to talk about bombing raids and the devastation to humanity, but ??? I call it Fight Beneath the Table (mainly because of the song I grafted on after this portion). BTW, it's a folk song... The...

Pulling out the vinyl tonight... I'm so inspired by this guy - he writes some of the best lyrics to me - I want to be able to write as naturally as he can. I mean, he can say more in a couple of lines than I can express in a whole song. "My father died, on the porch outside, on an August...

Wow ! I just got a deal I had to share (the wife don't get it). Was wandering through a Sears clearance store in Toronto, and happened upon a pair of Sennheiser model 30 cordless headphones. I had been looking at a pair around Xmas, but felt the $130 sale price was a bit too high for a "toy"...

The pickguard on my D-35 has noticeably lifted near the bridge in the past couple of months. I recall reading somehwere long ago that this was a problem Martin had with glues, but I can't find anything about it now. The humidity this winter may be having something to do with it, although it...

I've got about 25 of these things, and the cleanup crew says they gotta go.:( Although, I admit, I'm never gonna use them. Rather than throw them out, I figure if anybody needs them, they're yours for the shipping (COD). The tape is probably pretty well shot, so if you just want the reels...

:mad: ! How long are the batteries supposed to last in this thing ?! Bruce - you'll probably read this - how long do yours last ? Came home tonight after a few glasses of wine and had some great ideas - plugged everything in, and NO GO ! I wanted "that sound". And of course, I have...

O.K., come clean - who among us pastes stickers all over their guitar cases ? Do you do one case ? All your cases ? None ? Who loves and who hates seeing stickers on a guitar case ? And if you do this, what's your weirdest or most favorite ? mike

I have a conundrum, and want to solicit some advice from other guitar "collectors" like myself. Here's the situation: I need a synth access guitar. I found a used Godin LGX-SA, and have tried it out - it is AMAZING ! I want it. Here's the specs: http://www.godinguitars.com/godinlgxsaspecsp.htm...

I've been scouring the net for information on my Hagstrom H-33 12 string. The only information I have found is that it was manufactured by Bjärton for Hagstrom (which of course is promenently displayed in the sound hole - so really I'm no further ahead than I was before). Anyone have any...

There's a vocal effect on a couple of recent songs that have intrigued me - the songs are: Only God Knows Why by Kid Rock, and Believe by Cher. I don't even know how to describe it, but it seems like the vocal's pitch is actually being changed by a fixed value - I have to assume that it's done...

Anybody play a Godin synth access guitar ? I've dusted off my GR-50 synth, and it pains me to stick the GK2 pickup to my tele again (there's another thread... how do you get double sided tape off...). So I need a better solution. Looking for opinions on playability, tracking, compatibility...
