Ok, so i'm gonna be a promotions whore and put this one out to all those who appreciate acoustic music. My buddy, Steve Collins has a promotions/productions company called 'Whipping Boy Promotions'. He is organising an Acoustic Festival at St Donats in South Wales. He's managed to secure the...

I have DR Pure Blues Pure Nickel 0.11's on both my Electrics and most of my past electrics. I find they give me what i want, both sound and feel.

A buddy of mine has got the black version of the 390. Apparently they only made 10 of them and he has the only one in the UK. I had a little play the other day and man is it a cool guitar. The neck is just something else. I'm used to slim 60's Gibson necks which i thought would be my thing as i...

I've been thinking quite a bit recently about song structure. I'm not making a list of 'The Greatest' or 'The Top 10' but, as much as i like impressive solos ans inventive chord sequences, it tends to relatate more to the guitarist specifically. Hey, i know this is a guitarist enthusiast board...

Yes, unintentional but it's been a busy year on the gear side for me. Lets see now: '06 Gibson Melody Maker (came in and went out) '10 Epiphone Dot Studio (came in and went out) '00 Gibson SG Standard '98 Gibson LP DC Standard '03 Fender Stratocaster Standard MIM Vox AC4TV10 Vox Lil' Night...

Just had a good run on tunes in the office: Frijid Pink - House of the Rising Sun Stonesour - 30/30-150 Audioslave - Cochise

I may be a little late into this but, as much as they are great amps, you'll only love it if you have a bedroom the size of a small club or understanding neighbours! The Harlequin is a superb amp, really great sound with plenty of headroom and built like the proverbial MBT. The only thing is, it...

I'd never heard of this until the other day when i was talking to a 'non-guitar but big rock music' enthusiast. Seems to be more of a feature documentary along the lines of 'Lemmy: The Movie' but focusing on the Electric Guitar in general, Jimmy Page, The Edge and Jack White in particular...

Cheers Duffy, thanks for your input. I may have phrased the question wrong, what i meant was, i like the four control set up, i find you have more control and most of my guitars have had 4 controls (my Gibby SG Standard for instance). What i meant was, if 4 controls give you more control, why...

I'm on the lookout for a guitar to keep at work for practice at lunchtimes. I suppose i'm looking for something a little bit different, not really from one of the big names and my search brought up this particular model from Micheal kelly. I saw the 'Black vapour' version and fell in love...

I use a Dunlop trigger capo and have had no problems with it electric or acoustic. I sometimes take acoustic songs and 'rock them up' and, similarly, take rock songs and try them in different styles. I particularly like my 'easy listening lounge' versions of 'Back in Black' and my acoustic blues...

Aw jeez! This is getting out of hand now! I sold some stuff on e-Bay the other week, just trash i've had lying around. Anyway, i made some cash and could'nt really find a guitar i liked within my price bracket so the lot went of 'pre-loved pedals. So, in the last few weeks i have got myself...

This was on TV here in the UK the other week. I must say, to my shame, with limited exposure to Motorhead, i'd always dimissed them as a bit of a joke. Anyway, a friend of mine is a TOTAL Motorhead/lemmy freak and recommended it. I recorded it and waited until the Mrs was away for a couple of...

Thanks fella's, lots of fun there! Ok, At home i use my Sg Standard through a Vox AC4TV and at work (lunchtimes, i'm a good boy) i use an Epiphone Dot studio faded through a cheap little 'Rocksta' practice amp with a 3.5" speaker. It's not great but it makes a noise. Anyway, it's very light and...

Know what you mean Dee, thats why i thought i'd ask on here and start simple. Anyway, an update. I've bought a bunch of pedals for a reasonable price that were advertised in the back of a local free paper. I went round to the guys house and he was selling off his son's gear as he's lost interest...
