    Hmmm... school's out for summer in some places I see. I'll check in with you guys later. I'm getting too busy with three different bands to stay on here too much. Well, have fun.

    I've got a friend that I've sat in with who has been trying to get a band together for two years and hasn't succeeded yet. The reason he hasn't succeeded is because he is expecting perfection in practice. This guy actually wanted the full st...(more)

    You might try of all things Hawaiian slack key (it's just fingerstyle with a fancy name. I don't know who got it from who so don't ask). One of the greatest in slack key was the late IZ. If your wanting something a little easier I'll see if ...(more)

    Yeah! I'd think it would be the other way around for some. Some access from school of all places. We wouldn't want to stimulate their brains to thinking musically. It would never help with their math even though it is all mathematical... wel...(more)

    If you care for southern rock at all or can occasionally get into a classic skynard song, try Third Day. They've got the goods. It's not really Christian Rock, but it's about as close as you can get right now. Don't start with the "Offerings...(more)

    Jars of Clay rule!!! I'm doing one of their songs now with band number 2 (of the three I'm playing with, 2 Christian, 1 Rock) Ever heard "Love Song for a Savior"? I had to do a few edits for P&W, but it came out fine.

    Cool, we share a broad musical taste. I stick to the big band era swing Jazz. The only thing half-way modern in classical that I listen to is the neo-classical period (which is none too modern). For the most part I had some good songs going ...(more)

    You could, but he used a second lead guitarist. One that knew more riffs than he did. That guys still around. Playing with a Christian band now. If I could remember his name right now, I would add it to the list. This is sad since I learned ...(more)

    Blues, Classic Rock, Southern Rock, Jazz, Classical (Baroque period mostly), Metal, Alternative, Some Country (though nothing recent. You name it, I pretty much listen to it and have blended it with anything else you name.

    Cool. It's working itself out. I couldn't have done better... and that's saying a lot coming from me. I don't ever go there.

    Forget the toys. Save your money and get a professional studio board. The sound of those cheap things is... ugh!!!

    I'm with you about the blues, but I must now hide my face because "My Plague" is paying the bills. Okay, the Fender blues club on here just sent word that I am to go to my corner and think about my crime. :-) (a small piece of wood walks to ...(more)

    Not bad. If it were me, I would've used slightly less gain on the power chords, but it's not me. And honestly it sounds like something that I could listen to while driving to work. Great work. Keep it up. By the way, did you play all the ins...(more)

    And now they've got the mark II/First Act lines. They're even worse than the Sears Silvertones were. I started my son on one. Next time I'll know to just get him a Squier.

    He, he, he. Yep. I started on a Sears/Samick/Silvertone acoustic, and it was absolutely awful.

    I also feel I should add that due to stress related injuries SRV had to change to lighter strings later in his career. So don't go out and buy .018 strings thinking that it will make you better than Stevie. Clapton is known for ernie ball .0...(more)

    I've got to defend both here. Hendrix is well known for his tele. Page is well known for his Gibson LP's and his double-neck with open tuning on the twelve side. Of course any studio guitarist worth his salt is going to play both hum and sin...(more)

    Agreed, and in modern rock you can still see the influence of the blues and the classical in many cases. Perfect examples of both in early metal. Listen to some classic AC/DC and you hear blues riffs everywhere. Listen to classic Ozzy and yo...(more)

    I've played both for years and always end up going back to the single coils. I guess it's personal taste, but getting back to the topic of the thread, I'm shocked to find only the big two on this thread of dissapointments. I had heard a lot ...(more)
