Angus Young
What does everybody think about Angus Young? I'm going to see AC/DC on January 9th in Toronto. It should be great! Is Angus a bluesy player? Most of his licks sound bluesy to me.

Neil Young's Tone
In Downtown is absolutely awesome. I love his guitar tone in that song. It sounds to me like he's using a TS 9. Does anybody know for sure?

New to this section, Quick pedal question...
Hey guys, new to this section, i had a quick question. I have been playing for about 15 years, mostly always acoustic and 12 string. Amp blew on me a week or so ago. Got a new Fender Frontman 212 2X12. and i would like to get some pedals with this new profound sound. I am leaning towards a Dunlpo crybaby, Ibanez TS-9 Tube…

For all of you that write & record your material
When writing a new song, do you tend to nitpick over the details or just bang it out? Do you try to finish the song and record it ASAP, or let it ferment and play it a bunch and see what needs fixing over time? I know some songs burst out and others take a long time to finally get fleshed out, but I have been…

Time to buy electric!
Hey jammers! I'm sure this post pops up here a lot, but it's time to retire the acoustic for awhile and check out electric. I need help in finding a good guitar/amp! I love the old grungy distortion, but I also love the mellow sound of the strat on ledbetter. I'm also am obsessed with the guitar Ed uses on wishlist,…

What string gauge do you play?
.10-.46 (GHS Boomers), but I'm considering moving up to .10-.52 As an aside, I had a harder time bending and adjusting at first moving from .9 to .10 a few months ago, but playing only an acoustic while away at college has made bending a complete breeze :)

Gretsch guitars
So, I'm a man a long ways away from having enough money for another guitar (I currently own a Telecaster), so I tend to poke around just for fun. That being said, I tried a Gretsch today for the first time, along with the Bigsby bar. Holy moses. The sound shook the room; it was worlds away from the usually thin, crisper…

Unthought Known? Eddie in NJ
I don't know how many people have heard it, but such a simple song and such great lyrics. 48 hours old when he played it in NJ. I tried to figure out the chords, but I'm a beginner so if anyone can figure out the chords during the chorus that would be great. I think the verse is: F , C , C7 and then the chorus starts with…

changing tubes and changing amp bias
I think I want to change my tubes. I was reading that manual and it says that when changing to different tubes, sometimes the amp bias has to be adjusted. I don't know anything about this, but I'm fairly sure it's something I don't want to get into. the amp is a Fender Blues Deluxe Reissue with stock groove tubes 3x 12ax7…

Flambeau Guitar
I was given a Flambeau guitar from a friend because they were going to throw it out, and I know nothing about it. Can anyone tell me if it is a good quality guitar or low end or what the deal is with it? Thanks

Guaranteed - Picking Pattern
So I got the chords and all down, I just can't seem to get the finger-picking pattern right. Ed is obviously hitting the bass notes more frequently than I. Does anyone know what the true finger-picking pattern is that Ed's playing?

extension cab question
so..i have a harley benton ga5 combo (basically an epi valve junior 5 watt), it has an 8" speaker in it and its 4ohms can i connect this into another speaker cab to beef its sound up for possible use in a band?....would it just go as far as a 12" speaker? this bit about ohms always confuses me somehow? :(

carbon copy love
Wow. Picked one of these up with m123 sale ($119!) and it is awesome. Puts my dd3 to shame. I am floored as to how much more musical this analog delay is as compared to digital. Modulation has been referred to as subtle but being my first analog delay, I know no different. I bought it for 'I got id' and 'life wasted'.…

Starting to write my own material.........
I was curious how everyone on this board writes their own music or how bands do it. Do you come up with a riff first, the music or the lyrics or does it always change and depend on your mood? I'm starting to write my own material using my RC 20XL and it's going really well but I'm having a tough time with the lyrics. I…

Attention Singers
Any singers in the group? Question for those..... What do you do to train or warm up your voice? What excercises etc? I'm looking for some new methods. The tough part is i live in a nyc apartment so practicing or doing vocal training is very difficult. Not to mention a little embarrassing when the neighbors hear it!

Help with vocals....
I can play guitar okay, not a master at it, been playing 3 yrs and self taught, had friends show me some chords, used the net to learn others. Can't seem to find people with similar tastes in music as me and I am thinking of going solo. I think I have great creativity with words but one problem, I have a crap voice. I tend…

Egnater Amps, anyone have experience with them?
I am thinking about buying the new Rebel 20 model. I know it is made overseas but the features are great. I am going to try one out tomorrow and I am just wondering what your thoughts are on them. Thanks!

Headphones
My current living situation means that more often than not I can't play my guitar through my amp, or even my acoustic at any real volume. I've spent the last week or two playing "unplugged" which is tragically unsatisfying. I've decided to look into getting some headphones, but have noticed they get pretty exxy, and don't…

Hi there, I just wanted to share what I started doing a few weeks ago. I wanted a new bass (fender precision type) but I haven't the money to buy a new one. So I decided to do one, buying the different parts each time I have a bit of money to spend. I bought a bass body, a neck, a pickguard, etc. initially, the body was…
