I have an opportunity to purchase a sitar. My brother-in-law bought one when he was in India a couple of years ago, however, he is now moving to a smaller home and has to downsize. He will let me have the sitar at no cost - as long as I pay the shipping. I have no idea if the instrument is...

I recently wrote this as a end of night bar closing anthem - based on some of the late night one nighter pick-ups that so many musicians tend to have - I'll try to get audio posted at some point - but it's a country feel like Achy Breaky Heart I'll Get Back To You Copyright: Music & Lyrics...

I normally enjoy co-writing - since I've found some of the better writen material I've been involved with was the end result of a collaboration (two heads are better than one, etc.). In addition, I find that since I don't gig as often and stay hunkered in my studio - I do miss the interaction...

I've been trying to learn pedal steel - I find it to be a very difficult instrument. I progressed from working on slide using a traditional 6 string - to a lap steel. Once I was getting around on the lap steel - I thought I was ready to progress to pedal steel. I have a standard 10 string E9...

Has anyone actually tried the Electo Harmonix Ravish Sitar Pedal? The on line demos sound rather impressive. As a follow-up - can anyone offer a comparison opinion of the Ravish vs. the Danelectro Sitar Swami? I have not heard a demo of the Swami but I get the impression the Ravish is a much...

Anybody else checked out Walden? Last week I bought a used one from a guy off craigslist (naturally I tried it first) - his add bragged up the tone/build quality, so I went on line and read what I could find (with some positive comments). I did not really know anything about Walden. So - I'm...

I recently bought a used E9 Pedal Steel - it's a Carter Starter, but the previous owner moded it with much better pups, tuners and and improved frame. Can anyone recommend a decent education video? I have a basic understanding of grips and the whole 3-4-5-6-8-10 string thing with a general...

This was influenced by a trhead in the songwriting forum - in which people debate if lyrics are important (a surprising number of "songwriters" think lyrics do not matter. I would like to think that a vocalist can be moved by lyrical content - which in turn would influence the vocal performance...

Has anyone tried one of these guitar to MIDI converters? I was thinking about buying one to track some fiddle riffs. My actually fiddle chops are too weak to execute what I need (I just sound like a sick alleycat) and trying to play fiddle parts on a keyboard losses some of the subtle string...
