    Bridge Pin question

    So, this guy on another forum keeps telling me that I should change the bridge pins on my acoustic from the stock plastic ones to brass or ebony versions. He claims that the change will improve my tone. I'm sceptical - I figure the saddle is between the ringing string and the bridge pin, and...

    Lap Steel Opinions

    Fwiw, I love my cheap lapsteel. It's an Artisan model - less than a hundred bucks new. Far less if you shop around. They're all over ebay.

    where would i find info on what pedals....

    Hey muttley, I heard about the fish and chip thing. Plus, apparently the guitar was stolen and left in a ditch for a few days, which also explains the finish. Yeah, the white Tele was kept in open G (and capoed at the second fret most of the time). That looks like a photo from his Taste gig at...

    Partial capos anyone?

    Thanks. "basackward" - I like that word. Yeah, it sounds kinda like Nashville tuning.

    Partial capos anyone?

    Yeah, I've a homemade partial capo that covers the B and E strings. I tune my guitar to DADF#BE, and then place the partial capo on the 10th fret, which gives me DADF#AD. Essentially, it's open D with the high A and D strings sounding an octave higher than usual. Fun tuning, especially for...

    Muttley - Tuning question

    College got in the way, and I had to shelve the uke project for a bit. I've also been around here a bit less recently. However, I'm going to get back to work on it soon. Pics and clips will be duly provided.

    Muttley - Tuning question

    Hey, be nice to me! I know you're an expert in this field, but if I had to explain the details of modernism vs postmodernism in Irish literature of the twentieth century to you, you wouldn't grasp it first time either. :D Seriously, thanks for clearing that up for me. I printed it off, and it's...

    Muttley - Tuning question

    Hey Muttley, I know you have talked about this before, and I have read all your posts that I could find about it, but can I run some things by you about tuning? I just want to make sure I have some basics straight... 1) The frets on a guitar are placed according to equal temperament. Pianos are...

    question for light or muttley, or anyone

    Oh don't worry, even without reading the thread, I know Muttley didn't start the argument. He never does. People just seem to love giving experts shit, though. I didn't mean to imply that Muttley was at fault.

    question for light or muttley, or anyone

    Why do these threads always take a turn in this direction? :confused: In Mexico, Senor, these are the years of sadness.

    Looking for a backup guitar.

    Yeah, if I was in your shoes, I'd buy a pacifica. Humbucker in the bridge, great neck, stock pick-ups are very good. Trem is okay too.

    Fender Jaguar/Jazzmaster Question

    While we're talking about bad Fender designs, the Telecaster jack (in the metal cup) never made any sense to me.

    Rory Gallagher; Unsung hero of Rock and Blues Guitar

    Just to mark your cards for you - The guy you're accusing of starting a trollike (sic) pissing contest is one of the least likely people on this board to engage in any objectionable behaviour.

    EVH Tuning in Guitar World

    I'll have to dig it up for you - it was mentioned in a seminar I attended recently. He even includes a line or two of Gregorian chant that he notated himself in Ulysses.

    EVH Tuning in Guitar World

    You're in good company; James Joyce, apparently, loved choral music for the same reason. He was shit guitarist, by all accounts, though.
