Rhythm Playing
Does anybody know of any good exercises that work on rhythm playing technique? Different strum patterns, and different timings? Is the best way to learn great rhythm playing to learn all different styles and songs or are there specific practice exercises? Thanks

playing loud music/hearing loss
my head was pounding all day from last nights practice i do believe, basically any time you experience loud noise to the point it hurts or your ears ring, you suffer hearing loss - which is permanent and not coming back i used to wear headphones listening to a cassette player every single day in high school and…

drinking the NOS tube kool-aid
I've never been much interested in buying up old USA made tubes like some folks since everything my amps use are in current production anyway. Plus I probably don't have trained enough ears to hear the difference anyway. However I do have this fender reverb unit reissue that comes with a 6V6 power tube. But the circuit is…

Lending out my amp
I'm a little nervous........I'm lending out my amp for the very first time. I know this guy through other people, so I don't know him too well but he did me a huge favour once. I had a gig I had to play but last minute before the gig there was a death in the family and I decided it wasn't appropriate for me to play so I…

LP Almost fell out of case......
Have any of you ever picked up your guitar case and then realized that when you picked it up it was actually open and almost lost your guitar?? Tonight right before our jam session, we were setting everything up and I picked up my case to move it where I wanted it and the case was some how open. I always shut my case. It…

$493,000 Us
Is what it would've cost you to buy Jimi's 1965 Strat, that he set alight 40 years ago at Finsbury Astoria in March 1967. Here's a news video clip on it. I'm sure Jimi would turn over in his grave watching that BBC reporter playing it. Oh boy, i would love to hold that little baby for just a couple of seconds even.....…

Supro Electrics?
Anybody know anything about the company in general? My sister-in-law is at an estate sale and they have an old Supro electric for $200. It's pink (!?!?). I know the year, model, condition and construction are all factors in determining the value of a guitar so I'm not asking what anyone thinks it's worth, my question…

Finally got......
I finally got my acoustical sound absorbing wall panels done and hung on the walls this past weekend. They look great, way better than I expected. The room sounds soooo much better too and I saved a tonne of money instead of buying them. I'll try and post some pictures soon. Thanks to everyone who gave me tips and advice…

USB turntable – is worth it?
If I buy one and put all pj vinyls on my computer with it, will Avocado sound better on my ipod? Or is this one of my half assed attempts to get around the shitty sound quality of Avocado? Hehehehe (sorry if this is in the wrong category)

JCM 800 50W v 100W...any difference?
Hey all, I'm in the market for a Marshall JCM 800. I see a lot of 50W models around, and only a few 100W. Is there a major difference in sound between the two, or is it more of a volume thing? I won't be playing any gigs with it, so I don't need anything super loud, but I want that JCM 800 sound. If there's absolutely no…

online drum loops?
Hey, guys. I was wondering something...I don't own a drum machine, but my drummer's out of the state right now and I was hoping to listen to some new ideas I had playing with some basic drums, even if they sound like crap. I've googled for some website that may have a database of drum loops and such, but I haven't seen…

Eddie's version of hurt
Anyone know the tabs for how Ed played this on his solo tour. It was a pretty bad ass version, I dont know if it was just how cash's version was played though cause I know it was a lot different from Trent's (in sound, obviously Trent is piano but there was a lot more fill in eddies version)

Just Curious..........
When you guys are done jammin and using all your gear for the day or night do you put everything away neatly. Do you wrap your cables up nicely, put the amp cover back around the amp, put your pedal board lid back on the case and so on? Or do you just leave everything the way it is then next time you play you just plug in…

Did ya ever.....?

Probably been asked already, BUT
What type of guitar did Ed use during "Man of the Hour" on the solo tour? It was fairly small and had a much higher pitch than a normal acoustic.

Rick Wright from Pink Floyd passed away a few days ago. David Gilmour has a beautiful tribute in his site http://www.davidgilmour.com/. So sad. His music was so influential in my life and I treasure it.

Traynor Question
I recently borrowed a YCV40WR from a local music store for a night. Took it home and played it with my guitars and liked the sound. I heard re-tubing this amp will work wonders. Since it's self-biasing I also heard you can put EL-84 yellow jackets in it. Has anyone done this? I was thinking of getting a AC15cc but the…
