So the day after my wedding on the 26th we had a party...
and I hired a local band to play it since I'm friends with the bass player. He and I had talked, probably 3-4 months ago about them learning a song that I wanted to sit in and play with them. I suggested Thin Air since it's easy to pickup and seemed appropriate. Well I forgot all about it til the band was warming up and…

Ed's Solo Tour guitars
Obviously we're all familiar with his electrics, but he's been playing some acoustics I haven't seen him with before. Anyone know what he's playing? And what's that he's playing Man of the Hour with? Some kind of lute or mondola or something? Or like a baritone uke?

My F*cking snare keeps getting out of tune!
I'll play for 20 minutes and the damn head gets all wrinkled. I just replaced the lugs that were stripped from when I used to tune the snare extremely tight, now it just doesnt stay tuned. Anyone know of a good snare for $200-$300 that has a nice LOUD and FAT sound? I'm not a big fan of ringy tight snares.

Easiest/Best PJ songs on guitar for an 8 year old?
My soon to be 9 year old daughter's been taking lessons for awhile now (finishing up book one) and reeeeally wants to start learning Pearl Jam songs. I suggested Not For You since it seemed like a pretty repetitive chord sequence but she is looking for something more lead guitar sounding, I think, though her teacher wants…

What About This Tele? MIG? Pacoma? Anyone? Help
Hey gear nuts. I have an unmanageable itch for a TELE! Maybe its the Buddy Holly fan in me? Or maybe the closet Lindsay Buckingham fan yearning inside? Who knows. Whatever it is, surely it is nothing of merit. That being said. I found this one on ebay Was wondering what any of you gear nuts could tell me about it. About…

Broken Hearted Uke Tab/Chords?
Does anyone have a line on either the chords or an actual tab to "Broken Hearted" on the uke? I've only been playing the uke for about 6 months now, and I've managed to figure out most of the chord voicings but there are a couple that are still a mystery to me. I know there is a listing on GTW but it's for guitar. Any help…

Yamaha Pacifica For A Beginner?
I am considering buying this package for continuing learning guitar. I have been learning on an acoustic Epiphone, but I find the strings are tough to get down on barre chords. I have held other guitars and electric ones and have had a much easier time. I would like to get a good "starter kit" to learn on an electric as…

Stone Gossard
When i first picked up the guitar 14 years ago, it would be fair to say that i was influenced by mike mccready. I love me some Mike. As the years have rolled on though, if i could chose to be any member of pearl jam, it would be Stone Gossard. Seriously, how underrated is this guy. He is just so damn creative. One of the…

Lanikai LU-21 Standard Uke
Does anyone else have one of these? I received mine in the mail today and have been playing it. Much to my dismay, when I bend the strings, they feel as if they are scratching the fingerboard. Imagine your nails going down a chalkboard (not the sound, just the feel). Could it be the crappy strings that came on it? Or the…

Stripped screw...
Ok, so I haven't been playing much lately, but last night I got the bug again. However, when I got the DG335 out I noticed the straplocks seem loose on the end. Upon further inspection, the body is stripped out (the hole is too big for the screw). WTF do I do? you can't put a bigger screw in because it wouldn't fit in the…

Garage Rock Sound
Hey everyone, Question about amps: I wanna make a dirty garage rock sound (think: Sonics), and was wondering what sort of amp would help me with that?

Thinking of adding a 2nd tubescreamer to the set up
I see that some people on here have a set up and use 2 TS-9's and I was thinking of doing the same. I already have 1 I use for mainly light overdrive (think immortality/sad). I was thinking to use the first as a straight boost for leads/solos along with my amps overdrive and the second as a light overdrive on top of the…

Guitar for my 4 year old
One of my kids turns 4 in July and I want to get him a guitar. His twin loves to break stuff and bang on things, and we already have a hand me down drum set, so I'm not going to do anything there. But this one loves music, loves to sing, and seems to have a real aptitude for song in general. He is a little guy and I figure…
