    Was Hendrix that good or even a genius?

    Couple things I've heard over the years: Jimi hated singing, he was brutally shy. Jimi was bored to tears, that's why he did things like playing behind his head or with his teeth. I 'discovered' Jimi in '76 or so at the impressionable age of 14. As has been stated, no body had ever done what he...

    Yamaha FN575E bridge saddle failure

    I wish I could just find them pre shaped. The chance of finding someone in NH that I'd trust to do that type of work is about nill.

    Yamaha FN575E bridge saddle failure

    Hi guys, So, I went to tension up my strings after letting this thinbody sit idle for a while, and the bridge saddle crumpled to dust. I have found blanks and have a digital caliper to determine the correct thickness to use, but the profile is flat out gone. What is the process to recreate the...

    learn guitar with online guitar tab player - TabnPlay

    Nice! :applause Took me a minute to figure out how to slow it down. I might suggest color coding the dots for each finger.

    Recording in simple English please

    I saw that comment too, but since people PAY me to NOT sing I guess that won't matter too much... LOL. I suppose that sending the signal to a different DAW might solve that. There must be one out there with a monitor function. Regardless the wifey says I can have it under the tree. :thumbsup

    Okay the research is now complete (I think....) this is what I came up with: http://pro-audio.musiciansfriend.com/product/MXL-MXL-990-USB-Powered-Condenser-Microphone?sku=271009 If anyone has an opinion I'd love to hear it before the wifey orders it.

    Recording in simple English please

    FG- The longer time was from PC to you tube ... maybe my ISP was busy that night??? I have a drum machine in my RP100A and you are very right, it has helped me with timing a huge amount. I usually keep it on a very simple metronome type beat, and work to stay in time with it. On that note, if I...

    Thanks for your input FG, I kinda thought of the vid route as far as sharing, then I tried to upload 100MB of offroading vid the other day from my camera to PC to youtube and that process took about an hour even with highspeed. sort of like trying to watch a youtube vid with dialup...:thwap

    First names, or last...important?

    It's odd what sticks and what doesn't. I remember my cousins 8th grade teachers name, but the name of someone I just met is gone in like 3 seconds. It really bothers me that I have that problem with names as I was raised that you should remember things like that. To add to the confusion I belong...

    Tony Iommi's fret fingers bared

    Having had Carpal Tunnel relief surgery on both hands I can relate Red Gibson. I was to the point I could not lift a cup of coffee up. After surgery I had about 75-80% relief. One day I was at my Chiropractor, and mentioned it to him. He "adjusted" my wrists several times by pressing on the side...

    Recording in simple English please

    Thank you syo, of course I would love to have the resources to do a whole Pro tools setup with large numbers of plug ins (See I actually do know at least one DAW. My friend out in Seattle had one of those but he never explained any of it to me.) That first option looks to be about in my current...
