I havent been to that site. I'll have to check that out. I just looked through justinguitar.com. Great suggestion; the section on transcribing is just what I've always wished I could find. I desperatly need to work on learning songs by ear, but it's so hard to learn without some sort of...

You'd be able to answer that question better than anyone. Listen to artists you wish you could play like, and listen to the technique involved in a particular riff or portion of solo that really inspires you. Then use exercises to drill that technique. Personally my routine looks like this...

sounds like you're familiar enough with those types of exercises, but if you think there's room for you to learn some practice techniques I've been suggesting 'Speed Mechanics for Lead Guitar' by Troy Stetia. It's really helped me keep my focus throughout a practice session, and isn't just a...

1/2" is what I've heard is the height to strive for, so if you only going as high as 1" I doubt this will cause too much of a road block in your playing (unless your going neoclassical style). I watch a lot of Frusciante, and Clapton and it seems your accuracy with the pinky is more important...

From the advice you seem to be asking, I'd really suggest picking up a book; Speed Mechanics for Lead Guitar, by Troy Stetia (think I spelled the name right) It's not necessarily just about speed. Speed is a by product of finger independence and large amounts of muscle control. The book has...

I'd say is a little bit hippy-speak (which I happen to jive with fluently :cool: ), but it makes a lot more sense if you listen to the track. It's pretty similar to the stuff Zep was doing back when. It's actually pretty amazing how coherent he can speak about music if you've ever seen him...

sent you a pm

Hmm, seems like you should be able to get a blues jr cheaper than that. I remember getting my tweed jr (which run more than the black) for 500ish if not cheaper. Are you looking used? Nothing wrong with going used, espically if it means the difference between solid state and tube. (I am in...

I suppose I'd be interested, but I know our idea of cheap wouldn't match up considering the going price of the fostex. Let me just say, those cheap $100 machines? Too expensive for me, so I'm looking for something similar used...

Awesome, that clears everything up. Thanks!

This quote is from Frusciante describing the recording of Stadium Arcadium. I think I mostly understand the process, but I have a question on the bolded part. Here's how I figure the basic signal chain goes: Guitar ------>tape running forward | |...

I'm looking for a good condition 4 track cassette recorder; just a basic no frills CHEAP working piece of equipment. All I really need it to have is a 1/4" input (which I'm pretty sure is completely standard)

Well, I'm certainly not saying the post dealing with joules is off base (i've no idea if what he says is true), but I wouldn't read that and decide everything else said isn't helpful. Considering he's not really sure what a joule is (its just another measurement for work, or energy), and that a...

I guess I wouldn't say I'd *never* do it, but I think playing live with someone (espically a drummer) is very important. Doesn't mean not doing that wouldn't work though I guess.

I'd do it myself, because... well, that's why I bought my studio gear :D Anyway, as far as charging low rates, that's exactly what I plan on doing. I'm starting out small, doing projects for free at the moment actually, until I get to a point where I can confidently ask to be paid (and...

I had what sounds like the exact same problem. I'm running a firebox with an amd laptop. I spent several months troubleshooting and finally came up with a fix. For me, it was a driver issue. What I suggest is doing a format and a fresh install of windows xp (not media edition). Make sure...

i doubt this is someones running joke. the sites address is "homerecording".com If you were looking to record at home, you probably wouldn't even have to bother with a google search to find this site. I just think you're underestimating the lack of motivation people have to find answers that...

so whats lunchbox style? is it a small rackable size, like the firebox?

Ok, sidetracking but since it seems to actually be getting discussed... "In the early 1970s, the United States imported approximately one third of the oil it consumed. Today, it imports almost 60 percent and by 2025, so the Energy Department forecasts, the US will probably have to import 65...
