I say live and let live when it comes to gear. It's all about talent anyway right? If it works for you don't let anyone sway you to thinking they're doing better because they paid more. But I will disagree about the American Strat comment, I didn't overpay for it and think it's worth every red...

Ture... you can play Hendrix, but that doesn't mean you sound like Hendrix. Anyone can play the notes but not everyone can master the soul behind them. Then again, just because you have Eddie's gear doesn't mean you'll sound like Eddie. But more people have successfully copped his sound than...

Point is Edward (for better or worse) sent countless guitar players to the woodshed to work on tapping, playing trills, scales and anything else to play fast. What is sad is people forget some pretty tasty solos (Running with The Devil, When it's Love) and just focus on Eruption. Also I think...

Funny how things change. I was reading through a few old guitar magazines (yes I keep and catalogue them) and I was reading about how Slash was overrated, Mick Mars suck, Eddie is God. Then I pulled out my new issues, Slash is now a guitar god, Mick Mars is revered and Eddie well besides...

I have an Epiphone Special II and I'll say that is a sweet playing gutiar for the price. You can't go wrong with Marshall and the MG10CD Combo Amp runs around $70.00. That's $219.00 with the Epiphone Special (Black) throwing in $10.00 for a cheap gig bag it's a good deal. (Most new guitars...

Great point. Go with an accoustic. Great guitar players sound great on a $99.00 acoustic or a Strat or Paul with $10,000.00 worth of rack gear, peddles and amps. Trust me, I've seen people buy a cheap acoustic and play better than the guys who go out and buy an electric and a digitech or Pod...

Tamme Down - Faster Pussycat. Guy couldn't sing in tune on his own stuff but then they went out and recorded Carley Simon's "Your So Vain." So horrible it's funny but not funny enough to be good.

Unless you have one of those cheap Gorilla Amps, I have to concur with the rest of the people here. An SM57 and good recording amp is always a wise investment.

I played a show last July with my Epiphone last year with a nationally known Christian Band. The only guy who said anything about it was another Epi player who said he was glad he wasn't the only guy "sluming it" I told him if I was sluming it I would have pulled out my Hondo All Star and...

Light - So what do I need to do to properly protect the neck and get it to last longer before I need to get the neck replaced?

I did try out both rosewood and maple and as I said, couldn't tell a big difference. I'm going to get the maple with the Olympic White because the I liked the one I played and the ebony with the white and neutral headstock just doesn't look right to me. Crazy I know, but I'm sure others have...

Hey folks, I'm buying an American Strat this week and I've been pondering the Maple / Rosewood fret board issue. I've played both and I haven't noticed much of a difference. Just wondered if the other players on this board have a preference and if so is it based on playablity or looks?

Keith Richards is on the current issue of Guitar World. The Edge was on the last one. Every other one I've seen has Zack Wylde on the cover. I don't know if that statement is an indictment against the magazine or modern guitar players. Considering that the only cutting edge modern player out...

From what I understand Mr. M always had a higher impression of himself than the public ever did.

A good basic overdrive should do the trick. Most agree you can't go wrong with an Ibanez Tube Screamer. As far as the 95% percent factor, 95% of the audience isn't going to notice if your playing a Gibson or an Epiphone, a Fender or Squire, they'll think a Crate Stack is cooler than a small...

I think that is the biggest factor. Some bands have become smarter realizing that the budgets for those big fancy $500.00 an hour studios come out of their own pocket at the end of the day. I think the industry is gripping because the days of putting young and clueless musicans into debt to line...

I get the point of musicans are missing out by trying to learn the art of recording and stressing over gear, techquine and technology. I've wasted countless hours on this boards reading about what gear is good, why Baringher stinks or why I should save for an American Strat instead of buying a...

That show couldn't have been more staged if it was on broadway. The part where the snuck into the art museum and hung a replica of the Mona Lisa with Tommy’s face. Funny, but I would venture most schools have decent security systems. I think he was just hamming it up for the cameras. He goes...
