Been thinking of hiring someone to tab a few live Leslie West songs for me. Has anyone ever done this? If so, can you recommend a vendor?

Maybe it's the magnetic personality I imagine myself having?

I'm gonna need more cables.

It happens with everything I'm using; Tele, S-500, Dillion LP clone. Clean is pretty good, although the noise is there, just low. I get annoying noise if I overdrive the amp. If I hold the guitar without touching the strings, I get noise. Sat it down beside me, I get noise. Get up and walk away...

I've just gone by the three-month anniversary of my attempt to torture my fingers into adhering to my will. AKA, learning to play the guitar. One thing that really annoys me is the horrible noise whenever I'm not grounded to the guitar by touching the strings. I'm thinking of wearing a ground...

I dunno. But I'd prolly do it if they were really obnoxious about their guitar playing. Old fashioned? I think what he meant was that it contains too much beautiful music and not enough robotic shredding.

Live at the Fillmore came out when I was in the employ of Uncle Sam and I didn't hear it until I came back to the states. Eat a Peach had just been released when I finished my 18 months in Korea and headed home. I bought it at the duty free shop in the Tokyo airport while waiting to change...

Lotsa youngsters taking up guitar these days! I'm 59 and started about two months ago. A lot of friendly people here willing to help.

Thanks, Haywood. Say, I saw that picture of you shoveling snow last winter in the Fargo newspaper!

Thanks for the warm welcome. I think I'm going to need all the good karma you guys can send my way. Celebrated my 6-week anniversary as a geetar owner this weekend. And I wondering how long it'll be before I can change "owner" to player." Here's what I've learned so far. 1. Mother nature ripped...

You'd think a wizened 59-year-old man would know better, but no. Lost control of my senses not too long ago and decided to take up the guitar. Still a rank noogie in the grand scheme of things, but on a scale of 1-10, I estimate my skills have improved to around -2. Learning on a Mexican Tele...
