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…

Gibson SG Pelham blue
I have a fender strat which I love and am looking to upgrade. I love the look of Eddie's Blue SG but I am not crazy about the feel or sound of the SG(not to mention it may be out . I have only played a couple of them. I really don't want to trade in my strat but I was wondering what you guys thought of the epiphone sg as a…

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.…

Gig report thread
Inspired by lucylespian, I thought it'd be fun for us all to report our latest gigs. The idea isn't to say, "Ooooh, I just played Carnegie Hall" and explode into a dazzling spectacle of egomania gone supernova, or even to name and shame some toilet we've just played for the privilege of "prestige" alone. Rather, we could…

Sound Garden Pretty Noose - Drum tabs
I haven't found any drum tabs to this excellent song from SG. One reason I like Matt Cameron's drumming, especially in this song. But does anyone have a or can help me find some Pretty Noose Drum tabs? I got the chorus, and some other parts, I can't find the part before the chorus with the toms, its very confusing.

I played Nels Cline’s rig last week and got caught by Nels.
A really good friend of mine has been Wilco’s production manager for the last few years. I went to see him backstage at the Grand Opera House last week before the Wilco show, down the street from me in Wilmington DE when the stage crew was finishing up getting ready for sound check. Band wasn't there yet. I helped tune up…

How much is my guitar worth?
so i've got this guitar and I have no idea how much it's worth. it's a Sears & Roebuck Telecaster and when I bought it off e-bay I was told it was from the late 60s. I have had a hard time finding any info on it so I thought I'd try here. It sure does look cool and it sounds amazing. Neck could use some work, frets have…

Different guitar sounds through pedals and whatever
So I've been playing guitar off and on for a few years and never took it too seriously until this last year. And unfortunately this has made me a little stuck in my ways and less adventurous in finding different sounds through settings and pedals. I dont know shit about pedals, but my amp in a line6 with reverb, flanger,…

speaker swappin'
i decided to make some speaker changes after playing around with my amps yesterday and doing a bunch of research. i've sort of grown tired of the V30 in my deluxe reverb which was sort of the trigger for this. the jensen C12Q in my 5E3 is going into my deluxe reverb (the current DRRI ships with a C12K (a K? 100watts. wtf.…

I was at my guitar lesson last night and my instructor showed me this awesome website. It is http://www.guitarbackingtrack.com You can look for almost any band, you click on the song you want and your the guitar player for that song. There is a drum beat, a bass line and if the band has 2 guitar players then you're the…

Circuit bending
Apart from being dangerous as fook, it sounds like a dalek humping a toaster on top of a 1980s Space Invaders machine. Does anybody here actually engage in this mad folly, or is it exclusively the pursuit of hipster buffoons?

Is there a specific name for this?
when a guitarist plays a chord shaped like a G or C (anything really) in it's non-traditional place. it looks like the same shape, and I think it is, but instead of being played at the top of the neck, it's more around the 6th fret. is there anything important to know about these??
