Oh yeah, 3 years, love it.

God I just dialed in a tone to die for! Sorry had to tell about it (you know? like when you fall in love): A Gibson ES-335 (a 1958 reissue, classic '57 humbuckers), neck pickup tone at 4.5, full volume. Old 0.011 .. 0.052 Dean Markley strings tuned a whole step down (DGCFAD). Plugged into a...

Can I suggest Fretboard Logic SE from Bill Edwards? (that's both Fretboard logic I and II bundled together). You'll get a whole guitar oriented system of chords built around the "classic" shapes. And you'll get a lot of variations! Its anything less than boring!! ;-)

Damn, from the top of the fret to the bottom of the string that what I have, 5/32 and 4/32.. guess its my technique then.. Thanks

Hi, I wondered what's the correct nut and saddle height for a classical guitar. I know how to adjust electrics and acoustrics but classicals have a much higher bridge, but how high? It seems much too high on my guitar and I have difficulty with barres above the 5th fret (I don't have any on...

FYI, I got it ;-) Fixed both thumb/angle position and right hand position over the strings and it works great ;-) Still need to practice changes but that's normal. Thanks

I create pinch harmonics by touching the outward side of the thumb while picking. Unfortunatly I can't seem to do it consistently! I tried and tried but cannot find *the way* to do it everytime. Some times I get an harmonic, sometimes I get a faint harmonic that dies quickly, sometimes I just...

This question is pretty hard. I like everything, not because I don't care but because I really like all styles of music. Playing it is a bit the same. Playing punk is really fun, playing metal is ballsy/powerful (oh **** yeah), Jazz is often dreamy and romantic or fun or whatever do with it. But...

It might be cool if it were a dragon. A naked she devil is moronic.

That person might perhaps tend towards countryish style of music? If so, or not, he should try a Telecaster. Simple very effective design. Will accompany that acoustic sound in delightful ways!

Ok this is a bit out of topic but just want to clarify. I utterly overestimated the price of the pickups, they go for 102$CAN + 15% sales tax. Sorry..

Well, its clean when you can hear the notes through the distortion. Its hard to say, there's very muddy distortion like an archtop guitar with neck humbucker plugged into a high gain amp, and there's clean distortion (but thin) when plugging a stratocaster with bridge pickup into a high gain...

Hehe ;-) I did, thinking about a SH-4 JB at the bridge and SH-2 Jazz at the neck. They're not cheap though, about 150$CAN a piece :P But they sound really really good.

Hi, I'm building my own guitar and I need pickups (duh?). I don't know much about them though and would like advice. The guitar itself will be either made of mahogany, ash or maple (depends on the availability of the wood). The neck will be maple. The design is based on a Gibson SG and so will...

Tried: http://www.xe.com/ucc/ As far as I can see, the tokai at 256000 Japan Yens equals ~ 2,183 US$, which is more than a Gibson would cost.. What gives?!

Oh yeah Elixirs ;-) Hate them on my electrics, but great on my acoustic!

Don't know if this is relevant compared to all other good replies but I bought 'speed mechanics for lead guitar' and the finger indepencance exercises really helped out my left hand position. Making sure to always hit the notes with the tip of the pad while soloing and trying to do so also in...

Do you know what the book is? I'm not a teacher myself so I'd rather give him a book to start him up too. I don't think "Speed Mechanics for Lead Guitar" would do <lol> ;) Is there a reason why you don't give him an amp aside from money? Too loud? Any teaching reason? :P I started on a...

My nephew is 12 years old and he's dying to get an electric guitar with an amp. Unfortunatly his budget is very low, about 300$CAN, (that's about 200$US). I lent him my classical guitar in the mean time (didn't want to lend him a Fender, yet <grin>) but what he really wants is an electric. Is...

Hmm yeah the room has a lot of stuff around unfortunatly (and it is what rattles) :P 100 dB is indeed very loud buts its the volume at which the clean channel start to get the sweet distortion sound (bleah), I will buy earplugs soon <grin>. Its already off the floor, but its also on a metal...
