boy you have good taste................. :R My simple reply to this post is easy. If you are loooking to choose a new axe for the cheapest money AND reliability and great sound, my choice would be the RG Ibanez. I am partial because I have 2 of them. You can get them with the Rose system and...

Yes I have heard of it......owned one too! This is a reply to the post about the Ibanez Artist guitar. I had one about 12 yrs ago. They are heavy like a Les Paul thin neck, very comfortable to play. The sond is a little weaker unless you upgrade the pickups. Shape is rounded like a Paul and at...

Hey for those of you out there that have questions about the Marshall MG100DFX 100 watt amp then ask no further. I was concerned about not having tubes ( changing from a Crate BV 100 tube)and trying the switch??? Well I have to tell you I have been pleasantly surprised with mine. I screwed...

AC/DC rocks Well to say the least I am probably one of the biggest AC/DC fans alive today. I am also an aspiring guitarist and Angus is my idol. His way of raw unadulterated rock and blood and guts roll are the staple of the bands we see today and the axemen behind them. I mean if you look at...

guitars what to do with them all???? :) well as for me I like to hang them on the wall above my amps with the proper hangers, for looks and easy access, also have 2 in the stand in the bandroom my Strat that I gave to my son in his room in a stand upstairs, as for my Bassist he leaves it in the...

optimum strings huh??? Well I guess I just don't get it, aren't strings just strings and that alone?? Even if the right tension is on all of them eventually they will break or get worn out. Strings should be changed every 24hrs of playing or so, so I just dont get the need for specially...

guitar gods whoaaaaa here we go!!!!!!!!!! Well to say the elast I am a simpleton when it comes to guitar gods so here goes(by the way these are in no particular order) as I think they are all great. Mark Knoffler, Jimmy, Eric Clapton, JimmyPage,BB, Eddie,(oldies but goodies) and some new ones...

the freak says thank you to Robert Hello and a big shout out to Robert. I really appreciate your look into the Mixolydian scale in the blues format. I am a very bluesy guitarist, my style and sound reflect that. I always thought that the Pantatonic 5th was the scale I was playing in most, but...

freak speaks again.......uh oh OK this is the reply to the question of the day..... good -vs- bad covers. I agree too that Pat Boones "shredder album" was an insult to Metal and to a point mocked a musical era just to put his name in lights once again by hanging on the coattails of the current...

single coil help Hey Tim, just an idea but superswede is right, your finding the sound of a humbucker different, thats because of its double wound around the magnet. With the 2 wraps of copper wire it pulls 2 times the polarity and that is why it sounds weak to you. Maybe lowering them is a...

freak welcomes new blood Hello Robin, welcome, I am kinda new here too. Just remember to not be scared to talk its OK. This site rocks, my man Tremoloman turned me onto the site. You can learn alot here as I have in the few months I have been here, and want to learn more. All of us are here to...

freak speaks again......uh oh!! Well, I read today about the learning to play thing. I will say that we all have been there as stated by overthehill. I will speak for alot of us too, when you think that playing this instrument is easy, just ask some of the greats that have lead the way...

freak goes wild!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW the look of that black one with Maple and colored headstock could turn a few heads including mine. I love Ibanez but that one would not hurt my feelings to much to play. If any other interesting ones come up please post them......the freak

help from the freak Hello Tremoloman hows things?? I have not been on the site for a while, I apologize, have been busy as you know.The reason I am posting this is maybe I can send some help to you for a change. If you are comparing a Gibson to your strat ( any of them), not too many of the...

maple or rosewood reply Well the debate will go on I am sure for some time. Differences of opinion will be exercised by alot of musicians, myself included. Now I am by no means a Berkley grad or someone who attended NYU for music theory or anything like that. I will say however after 16+ yrs of...

Hello everyone, and thank you for welcoming me a few days ago. I was turned onto this site by a great freind. His handle is Tremeloman based out of Boston. I am based out of New Hampshire. He has alot of good points and thanks to him I have found a home, where I can share my passion for music...

Jimmy Enuff said..... Hi Tim, the " Jimmy" Chords are really hard to figure out. If you can invision it like this: Most of the time he uses an inverted power chord in the 5th position with the thumb on the root note as stated by several misicians in this frame. Jimmy had long fingers and could...

Hammers doin' it again Hello for years Hammer has been known to use Bass wood to make guitars and Birch wood. Being an X-lumberjack turned musician, I have had 2 slammers. Unfortunately 1 fell out of its stand and cracked in half. It was a Bass core, the other I stripped and had repainted and...

compressors anyone?? Hey Tremoloman, if it works for my 80's sound maybe it will work for you. Try to run a combination of 3 sounds with your compressor. I try to run my Digitech RP 300, on my distrton channel preset it is comprised of a Icebox Chorus, mixed with a Noise Gate and Hall reverb...
