   Can anybody please tell me how I can delete my account? I've searched the site and haven't found a way to do it. Would it be easier to just start repeatedly violating the terms of condition until I get myself banned? Thanks in advance for any he...(more)

   I write orchestral compositions as well and, as a composer, having "perfect pitch" has helped me very well, indeed. You can't always be hassled to carry an inconveniently large piano with you for when music comes to you on the go. :)

   If you aren't worried about ruinning the guitars finish I always super glue them (provided it's a standard strat trem). It's Floyd Rose or nothing for me.

   Don't get me wrong, Fender makes a good guitar but I feel that a lot of people (espescially beginners) buy them for the name on the headstock. "Wow, look how fast Yngwie plays! Man, if only I had a Fender..." Or "Slash is THE MAN! I need a Gibso...(more)

   They (Fender and Gibson) make very good guitars but in my opinion they are both kind of stuck in the past. Fender is starting to come around with the advent of Floyd Rose tremelo systems on some of their strats. I definately prefer the "newer" g...(more)

   Though if he wrote a part that he couldn't play he wouldn't compromise the integrity of the song by trying to play it himself. He'd hire someone like Steve Vai to play it.

   Theres a Frank Zappa song titled The Black Page which is so titled because the manuscript paper that he wrote it on was covered in so many "little black dots" that the paper appeared to be a black sheet.

    I think it would depend on whether you want to plug it in to an amp or mic it. I always prefer to mic my acoustics so I would probably choose the single soundhole so that more of the sound reaches the mic.

    Joe Bonamossa and Ted Nugent (not together) are at one of the clubs around here so often they may as well be the house bands. I'm not bragging. I wish this town would try something new. Ughh, just had to get that off my chest...

    I was tired when I wrote that. I meant to add, This according to the encyclapedia of Spinal Tap... It was just a joke really. Sorry.

    I definately agree. Legends here in Fort Wayne, Ind. has great sound, and they should after supporting the local music scene forthe past 15 years. But anyplace else seems to act like a DJ with their levels making the music sound like re-mix vers...(more)

    I was around 12 years old. I had a friend who played guitar and watching him, he seemed to have a lot of fun doing it. He was also "cool", whereas I was (and still am) very uncool. I thought I'd be more popular or something if I played guitar. T...(more)

    Wish I was given $3,000 a month. I work 40 hours a week for my $1500 a month and support two children, myself, and pay the bills. AHGGG.
