By the way, does anyone have any suggestions for Christian songs that aren't slow and shitty? I think a little of that goes a long way. I like the emotion and all, but it's just like every single song on Christian radio is some dude playing suspended chords on an acoustic guitar and...

Most of the time when i feel that when others are not giving me the grace I deserve, I wouldn't have noticed had I not been extending that grace to them. I have been criticized for being a bit ostentatious when I played a few times. The music coordinator was very supportive of me and I...

i have a fishman platinum, but most places, I just plug straight into the board. My guitar has it's own preamp, though. takes a battery.

I believe in the psycho-acoustic effect. If you get a good deal on some amp, it may end up making you think it sounds better than it does. When you think it sounds good, you play better. When someone else hears you play through it, they say "damn! That shitty little amp sounds good!" I...

I have one of these and have recorded a bunch of things with it, including some crunch. I really like it. http://cgi.ebay.com/Peavey-Classic-20-guitar-amp-with-Weber-P10Q-Alnico_W0QQitemZ160374115204QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item25570acb84

Maybe not this example. I wish I was a better photographer so I could show the sheer hell it has been through. I guess the fact that it still sounds good is testimony to its construction. I don't really know anything about it. i bought it from a guy who had a big tax bill a couple years ago...

I was thinking I had 16, but I can only remember 14. I have 2 that someone else would think was cool. I have a few more that I really think are cool, but no one else would cross the street to piss on them if they were on fire. The rest are from the island of lost toys. No one wants a charlie...

Any opinion on Gallagher? I have one that's pretty cool. The fingerboard has a nice radius to it and that seems weird. Most acoustics I've played have really flat fingerboards. It's loud as shit and I like that. Hard to play for a long time. The neck is pretty big.

I have been reading some old articles regarding some players whose tone I admire (angus and brian setzer) and both of them surprised me. First, Brian setzer said that he played quietly in the studio to get the twang out. Mind you this was in like 1983, when I really liked his tone. Not now...

While we're at it... Why the hell is the scale with no sharps or flats C? Why isn't it A? That would make so much more sense. On a piano, middle C could just be middle A and then music would make more sense and guitar players and keyboard players would get along because they'd both want to...

I was going to say a squier strat. Actually, mine is a bullet strat. It's older. Not the wal mart kind. It is not plywood, but it's really heavy. I had the bathtub rout, so I put in 2 humbuckers. The neck is huge. the guitar was shitte until I put 11s on it. Now I play it alot. I...

There is no problem with it. technically, I play better now than I did when i was 28. :D My tastes have definitely changed. I value harmony and chord structure and melody much more now. and I don't believe that couch picking will give you that. I like to learn new songs, though - just not...

If I "practice" too much, then I play crap. I call it "let your fingers do the walking". I play the same old shit, just faster. What I play is dominated by muscle memory. So, I let it sit for a while and then when I pick it up, I play what I hear in my head. And it isn't necessarily easy to...

As a control, I am keeping a string in the packet in my desk drawer and I will put it on my guitar and tune it at the conclusion of the experiment to prove exactly nothing. :D

http://www.x4labs.com/ This might not help your tinitus, but something makes me think you'd find it useful. :D

No, but yours is. Because you're stupid in the face. :D

You're 20?

You can just take a regular pickup and mount it length-wise with one string instead of across all strings. I tried to do something like that before that was slanted to just pickup the E and A strings. I grew quickly bored with the endeavor.

Small amps sound really good in small spaces. I used to record with a little peavey amp with a 57 on it in an old broken refrigerator with the door shut. It sounded massive on tape, but you could barely hear it in the room.

I don't believe it. Victory Pete has customers? Like guitar repair customers, or do you work in a carry out?
