What's the open mic scene like in North America, Europe, Asia?
I have been playing here in Australia and have gone to a number of them without performing. I find that not many people in the bars that these open mics are staged actually give a fuck. Not many people pay attention to the artist, they just chat amongst themselves over their beers and then clap at the end of each song as…

I have an old Crate-212 (30 years old) and a small Marshall amp (40 watt, 1 10 inch speaker) that was recently taken over by my daughter who is learning to play.

Must Have Pedals
Im fairly new to playing guitar, only a couple years now, and was wondering what pedals people consider a "must have" in their set up.

What song/Band made you want to play?
Was there a song or a band that inspired you to start playing? My mom played piano so I banged (literally) on the keys, when I was young. In 4th grade, I played the violin. Then I started the trumpet and drums, in band (BAND GEEKS RULE)! But, for guitar, it was a bit different. The first song that really made me want to…

FS: Shure SM7B cadriod dynamic mic $250
Brand new, box was literally opened once to inspect the contents. I plugged it into my mbox once to test it and other than that it's literally never been used. This is a classic, amazing microphe used for countless professional recording. Including I believe, the esteemable EV. Its a perfect recording mic for capturing…

Amp and accesories run through power strip question.
OK electronics majors, got a question for you. I have an old Montgomery Ward Airline tube amp- a simple but sweet little amp that is so basic it doesn't even have an on/off light indicator. I run my guitar through an old Chandler Industries Tube Driver then in turn run it into the Airline. My thought is to plug them both…

Save The Double Door - Charlotte
The Double Door Inn, located in Charlotte, NC was established in 1973, and is currently in danger of being torn down by Central Piedmont Community College. I doubt there is a way to save this local club. The wheels may already be in motion. But I thought if there was one shining miracle possibility, if there was one group…

Anyone want to Jam or Start a Project in the Chicago Area?
Hey everyone. I was just looking to see if anyone wanted to start a project or jam for fun in the Chicago area, or NW suburbs? I sing, play some guitar and have some of my own material.

Given To Wail
For those that may have noticed, GTW was hacked over the weekend. I'm currently in the process of cleaning the server but for the time being, the site will be down. It's a shame because I had Backspacer tabs to finally post. Anyway, I'm also going to take this time to rebuild the site in a simpler fashion. Sorry for the…

Rebuild After a Basement Flood
Almost two months ago, my basement flooded. Long story short, we had to redo the basement. In redoing the basement, I was able to unpack all my gear and set it up. I haven't seriously played in about 4 years but I'm hoping this changes things. Here are some pictures of the rebuild... Pedals (without the Fender Blender)…

PJ's musical moments of brilliance!!
To the musicians and those of us who sit back and play along with PJ's recordings... Have you ever caught those moments of brilliance like a certain chord change or tempo change that made you respect their musicianship even more.. A drum beat, a certain guitar tone, an impressive bass line, or Boom on the keys..

Guitars with temperaments of their own?
Without getting too metaphysical about it, it sure seems to me that sometimes guitars have a mind or moods of their own. I'm sure most of the time it has more to do with my playing and/or temperature, humidity, spacial factors etc., but sometimes it just seems like (especially with two of my guitars) that they have their…
