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. Would love a bassist, drummer, guitarist or vocalist; really anything to just be playing with others. PM me if interested.

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..

Advice
Might seem very stupid to everyone but here goes. I am 40 and have always wanted to learn to play guitar and am thinking of taking lessons. I have never player ever and don't know anything about it. I don't know a single solitary thing about playing or even reading music. Do they teach you to read music while taking the…

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…

Suggestions on Achieving a Mike McCready Tone?
I'm 18 and discovered Pearl Jam 3 years ago and fell in love. I got tickets to Hartford '13 and Mike McCready blew me away. At the same time, Stone's rhythm sound is perfect. Since then, I've been on a desperate quest to achieve some kind of balance between Stone's amazing rhythm tone (ever since the Avocado tour it's…

Any South Jersey Folk Wanna Jam?
I play guitar and drums (obviously only 1 at a time). I can play all of Stone's parts and most of Mike's on guitar. All PJ is doable on drums. Let me know.
