I'd like to help you , but I can't tell an 'e string from a she string.

I agree with everything except that part. Once you pay the money, you're stuck unless you kept the receipt.

I suppose clapner's tone has put me off so I don't really pay much attention to him anymore. I guess I am just a good mimic, so listening to it and studying it got me most of the way there. BB King vibrato is great for doing a BB King impression. I never got it to translate that well into my...

I dunno about the practice thing. When I first started, I just had a pretty decent natural vibrato. I couldn't play shit and I wasn't fast, but I could really milk one note playing blues. But I listened to a lot of old records before i ever started playing guitar. I don't know if shaking for...

:D ten characters.

Can I be courteous enough so that you'll tell me no matter how fat pete's head is? I have a gallagher with a weak B string through the undersaddle pickup. I just thought the groove in the bridge was of uneven depth and I would deal with it when i start to give 20% more of a shit. But if...

I wanted a bass for recording. I just spent several months looking at used squier jazz basses, because they were under $200. I figure if I could find one with a decent neck, I could put new pickups in it. I ended up getting a MIM fender p-bass for $200 from sam ash. This thing was like brand...

I read that article and he said that he did it because it lessened the time it took to stretch them when he put them on. It wasn't a joke.

I use a sheet of aluminum foil and sand. Same difference. Just kidding victory pete. Some day I hope to meet you and play one of your guitars just to see if it actually works. Cause there ain't no way in hell I am dumping baby powder on anything 'cept my nurtsack on a humid day.

I used to have this thing that was like a roll-on with some kind of alcohol or soemthing in it. Fast fret or something? It would take the goop off the strings if you used it pretty often. Try alcohol on a cotton ball before unstringing your axe.

Be Bop a lula Maybe it's an acquired taste. I like it.

I respect you for having such grace. that was pretty goofy.

I don't know whit about zakk wylde except he's got one of the dumbest cartooney stage names. I watches some of the youtube vids of him playing solos and what is interesting is that you can hear people talking and sort of not paying attention. It is boring shit. Most of the patterns he's...

I saw a story about this on CNN (I'm pretty square I guess). Have you seen this auto-tune the news thing? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0OzxvClwoU There are 8 of them I think and a couple more from the same guy. I think they are really funny, but I was wondering how it is accomplished...

they are the greatest. I hate tuners with the hole through the middle now. I cut the low e-string off at the D-tuner (the A at the G, etc) and it has just enough length to wrap around twice. For the high E, I leave it a little longer and go one wrap over where the string comes out and the...

Here is what the contraption looks like.

OK, I guess this is what I was looking for. I built a trigger out of a decent used pearl bass drum pedal. I turned the beater around backwards so that it swings toward the foot plate. I mounted a triangular hardwood block from my kid's toybox to the base where the clamp that attaches to the...

You had to know that this would piss people off. :D I think that the difference is personalities. If you are a shredder, then you think like a shredder. You have shredder tastes. You want shredder things out of life and have shredder goals. I do not share your Weltanschauung. I think that...

I bought one of these: http://accessories.musiciansfriend.com/product/Fishman-Pro-EQ-Platinum-Acoustic-Guitar-Preamp?sku=303132&src=3WFRWXX&ZYXSEM=0&CAWELAID=26021982 I don't use it very often, so about the time I get it tweaked the way I like it, the gig's over and I throw it in my bag and...

This is how I use my early-mid-80s rat. But, t's not a big box: I have a really old distortion+ on my pedalboard, too in front of it. If I run them both at once, it breathes fire, for sure. But, to be honest, it's just what I have. They're only slightly unique-sounding. Categorically...
