It's a 2009 model. Are you suggesting using the humbucker for surf?

Thanks for the advice! That does help a little. I have gone to Peavey's site and have not had much luck finding the settings I'm looking for. Guess I'll keep searching.

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!

Your vid isn't playing.

Update So the last couple of nights I've jammed on my electric guitar a little bit and well.....I enjoyed it. The problem is, belting out Black Sabbath's Paranoid or The White Stripes Seven Nation Army using power chords and a lot of distortion does not take a lot of skill and I don't want to...

This probably just speaks to my level of music inability, but I can't figure out if that video was supposed to be encouraging or intimidating......:thwap

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...

Thanks in advance!!!:AOK:

Thanks for sharing Marnold! Another inspiring story for guys like me. I've watched a little Django. Need to keep some of those vids within easy reach for the pity parties. That man sure as hell didn't let anything stop him!

Stylish choice in stitch color my friend!:D Thanks for sharing your experience. These kinds of stories are really helping me to "keep on keeping on". I've already added an extra millimeter or so to my pinky callus not to mention strength and stretch. Got a ways to go but it just feels good to...

I am pretty much strictly OFF video games. Can't seem to have the healthiest of relationships with them. Did try Guitar Hero once at an electronics store. It was pretty cool but I could see many wasted hours in my future if I were to own it!:nono:

NICE! :rotflmao:

UPDATE: Fast Eddie it is!

I sure as hell like mine! Enjoy!

That does help a lot bigG. Thanks! Maybe I am over-thinking it a bit? I spent about an hour last night messing around with the 2-3-4 vs. 1-2-3 for open chords and am just hoping I don't go down any "wrong" paths.... -C worked GREAT!!!! Way better for me given my index finger issues. -F is...

Anyone care to chime in with either: A- A website/source for alternative open chord fingerings OR B- Just give me fingering recommendations for the most common open chords such that the index finger is not used I realize to a lot of you this may seem like a no-brainer/figure it out for...

Thanks for posting guys! Very drool inspiring stuff!

THANKS bigG!!! Happy Day!!!!! Man, this is just so cool! Can't wait to get home and pick-up an axe and start training my fingers!!!:rockon:

Seriously, this is awesome! Not sure why my instructor didn't think to suggest it when I was taking lessons, but better late than never. This could really solve my guitar playing struggles or at least solve those that I have right now (I'm sure more will come up, wouldn't be any fun if it were...

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...
