    What makes a good bridge?

    Many lyrics posted here (and other internet sites) don't seem very good to me, but I do not have the lyrical talent to give advice on making them better. So I comment only when I see something that I think is good, sometimes suggesting minor changes that I would make. My impression is that in...

    Teach me about Les Pauls

    I play a strat now but played gibsons in a previous life. I had a Late 60s or early 70s LP deluxe once and hated it. It was OK for quieter first set kinda stuff, but I was never satisfied with it turned up loud (these were the days before amps had overdrive channels). I used a LP standard fo...

    Me too, that's why I rarely finish anything.

    Panzer Man - Greg_L original

    Nice work Greg. I don't find the lyrics cheesy at all.

    Finished vs Unfinished Songs

    In my case, I rarely finish anything. I sometimes complete a whole tune worth of chord progressions and even record it, but rarely can come up with a complete set of decent lyrics. Heres the latest frustration, trying to write a 4/4 rocker about how chasing after some bitch's affection is...

    Tubes for an Ampeg Tube Combo Amp?

    I remember from years back that my B-25 used different tubes than the 6L6s in my Fenders. Haven't looked closde enough to see what is actually installed, but a redrawn B-25 schematic I found on line shows 7027s. According to what I read on line (see link below) 6LCGCs are the same, and the...

    Tubes for an Ampeg Tube Combo Amp?

    Lt. Bob, I have an old B-25 myself with what I think are the original tubes or close vintage. Are 7027As that much better to use than 6L6s. Where do you get them? Are they NOS. Tom

    A 4 ohm head with an 8 ohm cabinet

    The volume will not necessarily be reduced significantly. If the head has separate jacks for 8 and 4 ohms and uses an output transformer at the end of the power amp stage, then the 8 ohm output could be of a separate tap on the transformer's secondary side that outputs a higher voltage to...

    musicians friend...... idiots!

    In my case the trouble with MF started when they merged with Music 123, and consolidated operations and warehouses. The last time it took me three "talk to your supervisor" escalations to get to a level where someone seemed to care an was able to verify that my order had been shipped and give...

    Amp Tubes

    Is your amp a peavey valve king 50. If so here is a schematic I found: http://www.blueguitar.org/new/schem/peavey/pv_valveking_112.pdf Someone in the group might be a knowledgable tech who can look at the schematic and understand it all. My schematic reading skills are not much these days...

    Electric Guitar needed in my budget.

    At the very least you should do a live sound comparison between a Strat (single-coil pickups) and something with humbuckers through the same amp. Each pickup type has its advantages and and disadvantages, and the two types sound totally different. Tom

    Got the Tascam DP-02CF "Portastud" !!!

    Hiya Dave, Lucky you with a new toy. I'll be interested in seeing what you do with the 2CF. I have been thinking about getting one myself as an alternative to a used DP01, as an interim step before going further to 16+ tracks. I'm interested in knowing how much you can store on the 1GB card...

    Few newbie questions

    What kind of keyboard(s) do you have?

    Keys

    I think it is because are the same in both the major and minor scales. But I only recently began paying attention to all this stuff. Tom

    Keys

    How fortunate we are for that! Likewise C and Am. For so many years I avoided centering a song around C only to discover that I could solo in that key using some of the same slop I used for the blues in A. Even if I program the MIDI to slip in an occasional B dim, the Am pentatonic still...

    Keys

    A lot of rock songs are in E and A because power chords (I-V) sound better and are eqasier to play using open E and A strings, and either key allows both. Tom

    ZOOM MRS 4 (very basic question)

    According to the MRS 4 manual I have, the audio date is in AUD files not AU. The described way of transferring data to the computer is to take the SD card out of the Zoom, and use a card reader connected to your PC and free-downloadable Zoom Card Manager software to: 1. backup your data on...
