Hi All, I have a Peavey Vypyr 15 that I am trying to emulate a surf guitar sound with. Guitar is a MIM Fender Fat Strat. I've bumped reverb all the way up. Not sure what else to do. Oh yeah, I'm playing on the neck single coil. Should I be? Thanks!

I'm thinking of switching to bass guitar due to my fret hand index finger disability. Can the bass be a "fun" instrument on its own or is it a band only piece of equipment? Thanks for any input! EDIT: I will probably keep my 6 string guitars, but I really want to work on an instrument that I...

Hi All, As I posted in a previous thread(Fret Hand Index Finger Disability), I have a finger that is a bit of a challenge to fret with. A friend of mine noticed the severe struggle I was having with fretting the open C chord yesterday while I was noodling around trying to play "Stand By Me". I...

Hi Fretters, Thinking about setting up a workstation of some sorts where I can have my laptop for video lessons, tab, etc and still be able to play my guitar, access my amp, etc. (Right now I'm using a cramped little end table and a set of el-cheapo plug in speakers for my laptop---not ideal!)...

Looking for some recommendations regarding furthering my learning. I took lessons for the first 3 months of this year which definitely brought me along a bit. Stopped lessons in order to focus on another project and now that it is completed, I can focus on guitar again. Looking for some...

Recently purchased an Epi G-400. Noticed that the knobs for tone and volume seem a little skewed. Kind of like they are on crooked...like a wheel with a wobble. Any thoughts as to why? Is it fixable? Is it just normal? Thanks fellow fret-heads!:D

Hey Illustrious Fretanatti, Had a great GC experience the other night. The Peavey Vypyr 15 that I had purchased was giving me problems. Not turning on when switched on and then intermittently turning on when switched on (make sense?). Brought said Peavey in to GC and let them know what was up...

Well guys, This is a bit of a surprise to me, but I've decided to get an Epi G-400 SG copy. It's on order and should get to my local GC next week. Kind of a weird feeling. Totally NOT the guitar I pictured myself buying. I hope against hope that I can pull of some reasonable instro-surf with...

Hello Illustrious Fretternati, I picked up the guitar again a few months ago and am struggling. I'm wondering, is it normal beginner struggling, or is it due to my disabled left index finger? As a teenager, I broke my index finger badly in a fist fight. A Dr. set it with metal pins, but it...

Checked one of these out at GC last weekend. Looked pretty. Much lighter than the Epi LP Plaintop I've been pretty much fixated on buying lately. Anybody want to chime in on good points/bad points of this axe? :poke: Thanks in advance!:dude:

Hope this is the right place to post this question. I am learning the song Wonderwall by Oasis with the help of my instructor, however I am having trouble determining the "proper" strum pattern (if one exists!):confused: . Any suggestions from those who play this song? I did search google and...

So as I'm bangin' away on my ol' dreadnought tryin to learn some of this geetar stuff, a nagging question keeps coming to mind.......... Do I force myself to learn the WHOLE song? Rhythm, solos, etc. ? OR Is it enough to learn the rhythm chords and just move on? I'm a beginner and not in a...

Just wondering if anybody has an opinion on the fair market value of a 3 to 4 year old American Standard Stratocaster. In the Seattle, Washington USA area. Condition=very good. Some fret wear. Probably needs a set-up done. Thanks in advance.:AOK:

Okay-a quick history of my guitar experience: Owned a few cheapy electric 6 stringers in the mid to late 80's before going over to bass for a bit in the early 90's. Then went on a hiatus where I pretty much gave up trying to learn guitar but still loved music (this was '94ish to December of...

That was a little intro solo BTW! Hi All: My name is Viking Power and I am a long time guitar lover from the Seattle, Washington, USA area. I have taught myself(to little avail:rolleyes:) how to play guitar and bass over the last 23 years with a long break during the last 10 years or so. I...

Hello all guitar gods :master: : I am finally taking lessons and learning guitar "for real". Took me 23 years of thinking I could teach myself to finally realize that instruction is not "uncool". Anywho-My wife got me a nice acoustic for X-mas which is what I thought would fullfill all my...
