Time spent playing........
How do most of you spend your time playing guitar. I mean do you spend most of your time on technique, scales, and complex chords, do you spend most of your time learning cover songs and practicing them, do you write your own material most of the time or do you learn different styles or do you just mess around with…

I was wondering if anyone knows where to find chords (or has chords) for the reworked version of wma they played last tour? i have chords for the old version, doesn't quite match up, and looked up wonderwall by oasis too (ha!), doesn't…

question for singers...
my band is starting to play longer sets now (we're doing 2, hour and a half long, sets this weekend) and our lead singer is starting to worry about taking care of his voice a little better. He's never done lead vocals in a band until now and no one else in the band has either. So since none of have any experience with it,…

Does anybody know the chords in the bridge for Man of the Hour? I looked on Given to Wail but I'm not sure if it's 100% correct so I figure somebody here will for sure know it. Thanks

Footsteps tabs
This is a very easy song to play although Im a bit confused on the chorus part - most stuff Ive seen say that the chorus is just a G to A progression repeated but when playing it and comparing it to the song it doesnt sound right...sounds like there is something missing - possibly an eminor or as A sus?.....Any of you…

guitar nerds = the coolest kind of nerds

Graph Tech Nut and Saddles
I was looking to replace my saddles and nut with a Graph Tech product. Any experience with them? The saddles are straight forward, but how does one replace a nut? (all jokes aside) I have a 2007 Mex Strat, looking to cut down on buzzing and maybe a better sound.

Using Effects Loop of your amp
I used my effects loop on my amp the other day for the first time and WOW what a world of difference it made. I ran my phaser, chorus, delay and RC 20XL through the effects loop of the amp and my distortion pedals infront of the amp and everything just simply sounded so much better. Everything was so much quietier too when…

recording artists...
I have a story followed by a question So about a month ago i found an old 'working' 4 track tape recorder in a second hand junk store for £50. I looked at it and thought it looked cool but didn't seriously consider buying. Then i got round to talking to a pal at work who recommended i go back and buy it because he's had…

Grievance fill
Anyone know where I can find the tab for the fill Mike does during live shows that sounds kick-ass? I checked GTW and can't find it. It's usually in the chorus and he plays it once or twice, depending on his mood

Chord Help
So I was messing around last night and recorded these chords back to back: F maj A#m/F -1- -1- -1- -2- -2- -3- -3- -3- --- --- --- --- With a bit of alternate picking, and using my chorus/volume swell combo to do a synth kind of thing while soloing over it in the key of F. My question is, does anyone know how to figure out…

Beat It vs. Do The Evolution
I've heard Ed is a fan of Michael Jackson but have you ever noticed the the "Do The Evolution" solo from Stone is stinkingly similar to the guitar riff from Michael Jackson's "Beat It"? I was listening to "Beat It" and I was wondering if there was a certain type of distortion used on it. It's pretty 80's and I'm guessing…

Might have been mentioned (like when the DVD came out), did a search no luck. But I was curious whether anyone came up with a tab for that intro Eddie does. direct link to save time.

Some tuning questions (NOT strings, but truss rod etc)
I recently bought a guitar off craigslist for $50, a Yamaha black 335 acoustic. I was actually really surprised when I saw it as its quite a nice sounding, and playing guitar for the money I paid. However there are a few things I would like to adjust but have never really tried on another guitar before and figured what…

Wrap around Bridges
What are your experiences with wrap around bridges? Some top end fixed bridge PRS guitars have them. Some Hamer's have them. They are the one piece bridges found on early Gibsons before the Tune-O-Matic. Opinions about them seem to fall into two camps. 1. They are better than all other fixed bridge designs because they…

Truly Beautiful Disaster
Ok, well, it's so far a disaster, not truly beautiful yet! But it's got potential! I picked one up tonight, and man, there's a lot going on with this thing! An oscillating fuzz that has a lot of usable sounds, in between some obnoxious ones and it's going to take some work to find them all, but they're in there! It also…

Tuning pedal pros and cons?
my band mate is always on my case to get a tuning pedal....i know that every pedal you have cuts down on the overall signal, so i don't want anything unnecessary in there then again, it could help avoid catastrophe during a live show if my guitar gets knocked out of tune but, that is why i always have a backup guitar tuned…

Carpal Tunnel/RSI
Does anyone here suffer from carpal tunnel or some form of rsi? I don't suffer too badly from whatever I have (I've not been to the doc yet) when playing guitar but I work in IT and spend all day using a mouse and it doesn't take much use before the tendons in my hand and lower arm tighten really bad and I get nerve pain.…
