no no no. This bit about the system trying to load from the XP disk is a simple issue. I think you are hitting enter too soon and not reading the options.... When the system first boots, with the XP disk in it there SHOULD be a screen that says weather or not you want just CD drives, to boot...

I have been told, as I am sure many of you have, that I spend more time with my music ambitions than I do with my gal. Now of course I don't hear that often, but it comes up. So in an attempt to involve each other in our individual hobbies I had a great idea. I use her assorted nail polish...

No set answer. No ryte or wrong. Theres what works, and theres not. Granted theres a point where it can sound like mud slopping along that finally gets to the root note again (Neil Young referance again) and that may set well with you (and your audience. Other folks prefer a more traditional...

I have put bone nut/saddles on all of my acoustic guitars. I have graphite on the one electric that I modified, and bone on the carvin neck.

I hold Jay Tursers as excellent bang for the buck guitars. Real wood, solid parts. I have a Turser 7 string. Bought it because I could not justify the cost of the big name 7 strings... considering I had no clue I would actually enjoy the extra string. The only complain I have with Turser, and...

email: info@hohnerusa.com my nickle says you can find info for hohners by writing and asking.

Back when I was in a jazz ensemble (ah the grand ol college days), my professor had a warm reminder about me playing the "wrong" note.... he would say to me "you made two mistakes Dave.... first the wrong note, second... trying to go back and fix it". His point was well made. Music is a living...

Play until you bleed! You know, as common as that phrase is, I have never bled from practising too much. Mind you I have lifted fingernails learning "bends" and have been impaled by a million breaking strings.... but hardly even a blister. so..play until you bleed

Painting wood is not quite the same game as painting metal. Wood is porous and is more sensative to temperatures. The reason I mention this is because most auto based painting is many many layers of enamel and still more of clear coats and assorted euythanes. Reguardless of the actual wood on...

personal opinions on what guitar is great and what one is shit notwithstanding.... The point is that there are a few easy, and cost effective ways to improve the sound of nearly any guitar. Not everyone has the means to brisk off and buy a $2000 guitar to get an instrument that everyone else...

agreed. step one is to "rip" or grab the files from the CD to the hard drive. I support a dandy program called "audiograbber", but theres all sorts of programs that will do this. step two: convert the files from wav to MP3. a footnote to step two. keep sharp and pay attention to where the...

To remove a nut: Gather the needed tools... 1/4 wood chisel (or thin slotted flat screw driver) small strip of fine grit emery cloth toothbrush Clean area completely. apply a focused mist of steam (teapot) to the nut for 20-30 seconds. Do this by holding the nut (flip your guitar belly up) in...

A name often forgotten.... Randall. I nabbed a 150watt dual channel a few years back and yanked the stock speaker out and popped in a 12" celestian (vintage).

to copy a cd to a cd that can be played on most any player: 1: Aquire the desired songs from the original cd to your hard drive. Handy program for this is "Audiograbber". 2: Convert the song files that you nabbed to WAV format. Handy program for this is MP3toWAV convertor. 3: load a blank...

most people are confused about what a vocal harmonizer can or cant do. It seems most folks think that it is a backup vocalist that sings some pretty harmony with you. For the most part it will double a set interval that you tell it to. If you punch a button it will "sing" or harmonize one third...

that philosophy goes for every aspect of this too. No question there is always a better piece of gear or easier way to get the job done. but hey, if you are happy and it sounds good so be it. If you love a particular no name $100 guitar and think it is the cats ass... stick with it.

if your imtonation is off then bottom line... you are out of tune. it may seem fine and dandy in open tuning but past the 3rd or 4th fret it may all start to sound out of tune. sort of like Neil Young!

ya friggin crybabies..... I have 15 guitars, two of which are 12 strings. I assure you a gal you give a new wardrobe to looks and plays better.

Most decent acoustic preamps with some sort of EQ will improve the sound to some point, no question. But for the best results you really should consider the source of the sound (the guitar itself) befor you spend too much effort and money on outboard gear. Reason being: A: you can not always be...

yes yes, installing a preamp unit with the EQ can be a hard decision because yes you do need to cut a hole in the guitar. The thought of doing this can weaken the knees I know. I have an alvarez fusion acoustic. It came with a mediocre passive pickup assembly. The hesitation for me was that the...
