    good? multi effects? no. versitile? they can do that. a great value? many of them are. sounds that really measure up and a managable interface? not a chance.

    Don't go to Guitar Center! Anyone! Guitar Center is the devil!!!!!! GO experience the friendly service and expertise of your local privately-owned guitar shop! for the love of god. Guitars should be sold by people, not automotons.

    If it's the Custom, go for it! I used one for 3 years almost exclusively and it was awesome! It's really got a great sound for what you pay. Get it!

    At one time or another, i've subscribed too all the guitar mags out there. my favorite by far is GuitarPlayer. It's well-written (for a guitar mag), well organized, and has excellent content. Its stuff that really applies to anyone, regardle...(more)

    hello. I'm writing a song that i want to give a Dorian feel to. If I want to emphasize D dorian instead of C Ionian, should my root (D) be a minor 7th? just making sure. i'm still a bit hazy on all this. thanks!

    Anything that says crate on it is s---, in my opinion. If you want something small that sounds good (of course it depends on your style), look into a small tube amp. It'll be worth the money and a good one can last a lifetime. A small Fende...(more)

    hey, this is a question for people who have been to the National Guitar Workshop before. I'm leaving for the Conneticut campus in a few days, and i'm deciding which guitar to take. Basically, it's either my $1000 PRS or my $450 Strat. The P...(more)

    how many guitarists have to go before a band just moves on? I mean, really. they're great, but it's gotta stop sometime.

    Does anyone know how many times we've been through this???? Get off the computer, pick up your guitar, practice, play something that makes you happy. Maybe it'll make somebody else happy. And maybe someday it'll make millions of people hap...(more)

    The SRV sound is really in the fingers, hands, and brain. But still, here are some things that help me get that sound. Fender Strat. Really, this is the most important peice of equipment there is for his sound. It's unmistakably Fender. Any...(more)

    God, the constant topic. In defense of shredders, the little metal playing I do is because its fun. There's something that really brings out some crazy testosterone about playing a bizillion notes a second. I'm not into the costumes and mak...(more)

    Something to look into are the Smithsonian's Folkways recordings. They were done throughout the century recording American folk artists, including Lightnin' Hopkins, Lonnie Johnson, and Leadbelly. My favorite from their catalog are Brownie ...(more)

    The other day I was screwing around in my school's music room and found that my strat sounded amazing through the Peavy bass amp there. David Gilmour is one who used bass amps for his clean sound. If you can afford the 2 amp setup, this is ...(more)

    To me, Bigsby units are the coolest looking things around. Still, I personally prefer a strat system. But I have played one on a tele and it was very cool. Really, they're coolest on a Les Paul. However, if you like the feel, the range, and...(more)

    I used Elixers for a while on my crappy (and i mean crappy) acoustic when i was going on a trip and wouldn't have access to new strings. They really gave new life to that guitar. They sound brilliant and lasted forever, not to mention feeli...(more)

    nothing can tell you better than your ear. try guitars before buying them in the future, cause each one is different and nobody can decide but you.

    I thought about doing that myself when the LP was my main guitar. That's a good idea if you really love the instrument, like you'd still play it if you could afford a Gibson custom or whatever. But, the fact is, the other corners epiphone cu...(more)

    The Ibanez Tube Screamer TS-9 is the quintessential blues rock deal. SRV and basically everyone else has one somewhere in their pedal board. I've found it to be a very versitile pedal, because it also works well mixed with other distortions...(more)

    They're just basic Epiphone pickups, prolly the same as in the custom and ES-335 models. They're copies of the Gibson classic pickups, and though they're close, they're not the same. Still, i used a Epi LP Custom for years with those pickups...(more)
