    All excellent suggestions (and some funny ones!) In my case, its not a matter of "leaving" the band. Its a "work gig" appointing by out regional director as a bit of internal fun, rounding up whatever staff could play instruments for a few mus...(more)

    Hello Thanks guys, both great suggestions. I shall try to raise my mids and other frequencies at tommorow night's rehearsal and see how that goes. I'm pretty inexperienced at musical bouts any larger than myself in a bedroom so it'll be me who...(more)

    Hi folks I have recently joined a band and we have started rehearsing. I am a guitarist myself, and another fellow who is quite experienced at playing "pub" gigs is also on guitar. He has a big JCM amplifier, a head and speaker, and he's real...(more)

    I started playing guitar basically after watching Michael J. Fox (mime) play the Johnnie B. Goode Chuck Berry guitar solo at the end of "Back to the Future". After I picked up the guitar, however, my inspiration started from the acoustic/slide ...(more)

    Hi Everyone I think that speed is partly due to choice of notes, and I personally find that listening to notes played with large intervallic jumps between them sound faster than chromatics sometimes. I've heard Steve Vai play licks with large ...(more)

    Hello everyone I was self taught for several years until starting with my first "true professional" guitar teacher. He was a very skilled guitarist and had a very robust program he taught from, and amassed great numbers of students from my loc...(more)

    G'day Shawn I agree, the guitar definitely has some challenging aspects. The variety of techniques to learn is mind boggling ... BUT .. the tradeoff is that a basic level of guitar competence can be achieved in a relatively short time (e.g. c...(more)

    Haha.... No disrespect intended to anyone, but the thread topic made an odd image spring into my head ... The Dalai Lama in his orange robe, with a sleek Ibanez electric strung over his shoulder whilst he cocks his head back in mock passion an...(more)

    G'day For starting getting into Instrumental Guitar Rock, Joe Satriani is a great artist to listen to. His music is structured and presented in a form most listeners familiar with pop and western musical structures can relate to. (i.e. verse...(more)

    G'day everyone I'm on the lookout for a pretty rare improvised solo that Joe Satriani recorded over a vamp supplied by a Guitar magazine. This is going back a few years now, but as I recall, the jam track with Satch's solo was included on a ...(more)

    Hello I think training with a metronome is the best way to get a 'feel' for rhythm. However, I also think that listening to lots of recorded music and playing along can be a great way to get a sense of rhythm and timing too. After all, a me...(more)

    Argh. I feel like a fool for making an opinion known in this particular thread, because no sooner had I posted than I had realised (Through the intelligent observations of other posters), that the thread topic is very much one's own opinion, it ...(more)

    Dan, I'm glad you have brought this thread up, i'm VERY slow on catching up to it, found it thru searching the forums for Satch's album "The Extremist" actually! My opinion is that the newer breed of guitarists, who have been heavily influence...(more)

    G'day everyone. I don't know if a single rock album was a particularly strong influence on me as a guitarist, as I'd be more inclined to suggest a handful of tunes were more important, off several different albums. In my case, these important...(more)

    G'day Ricky! I don't know much about the technical, hardware side of dealing with guitars either, so I entrust most of that stuff to my local music store fellas, who do a bang up job in my opinion. Intonation is an on-going issue for me with m...(more)

    I'm definitely with you guys in the sense that creativity hits me in the late nights! I'm not 100% sure what it is, but there is something special about the wee hours that triggers a response from certain people. I wouldn't be surprised if its...(more)

    G'day Craig! Something in your last post, complete with the interesting narrative about your memories of lecturing duties to Masters students, struck me as being particular important and relevant to the historical events in music: Craig Lindse...(more)

    G'day Lawrence! Good on you for joining WholeNote, hope you get a real kick out of the people at this place like I do! You mentioned that you guitar has intonation problems at the 3rd and 5th frets, across ALL strings, yet seems to be in tune ...(more)

    G'day Cody! I'm a RHCP fan too ... however, I have to be a little bit more specific and say that i'm a RHCP fan of certain ERAs of RHCP musical output ... to be even MORE specific ... I LOVE their 1992 album Blood Sugar Sex Magik mostly, their ...(more)
