Parlor Guitars (Parlour)
OK, so nobody has really confirmed it, but I'm convinced Eddie was playing something like a Martin O-18 [edit: he was indeed, that's his big brown guitar, doh! confirmed the small one was a Size 5 Mini Martin "Terz"] on the recent solo tour -- doesn't quite match what I've seen from 50s-90s (those primarily have…

Basic Chord question
I'm very new to playing, so here it goes. When I try to play a chord, I'm getting a lot of feedback. I adjust my vol. to try to avoid the feedback, but no matter what I mess with, I still get feed back. I can play single notes just fine and they sound great, but more than two, and it sounds like shit. I have Fender 3250…

Epiphone Sheraton
Thoughts? My local shop has a barely used (my dad just checked it out today) for $500 CDN. I've been lookin at a semi, and I figure with the money I save I can upgrade the pickups. Can I barter them down, what do you all think?

We won Battle of the bands
About 3 weeks ago we had that battle of the bands that we won, now we have a full set list gig of about 30 songs coming up on June 15th. Once again I've got my work cut out for me. I have to learn about 25 more songs in the next week and a half. I'm sure a lot of you guys here have had to do this. It's a lot of work but…

Shipping an Amp
I have a Line 6 DuoVerb amp that I'm trying to get rid of. Listed it for sale at my job and on Craigslist, no takers. Now as a last resort I'm going to list it on eBay (have not done so yet). So I'm probably going to have to ship it. Any advice on how to ship a heavy, big amp like this? Would a cardboard box even work?

Crazy Octave Fuzz
So in reading another thread it reminded me, i want some sort of a pedal to give me a sound very similar to the solo in 'i got shit'. i love that wild, uncontrolable octave fuzz. The flender would be perfect, but it is just too much money, and honestly there's not even room on my board for something that size. i also know…

Anyone see the MTV Movie awards?
Adam Sandler surprised me! He actually played the Gibson and MAN, that Hiwatt sounded amazing! I think I say a DS-1 on the board and possibly two tone core pedals. Still, I'm surprised he could play

Amp Stand
Does anyone know where I can get a good amp stand and what kind of stand. I have called a few of my local music stores and they are all out of them. I am playing live more often and I would rather use a stand than a chair. I have the YCV 50 Traynor amp and I don't think a need a particular stand but if I do let me know.…

First band rehersal
First rehersal today. Intersting. Singer is a bit dodgy, hadn't really learnt the arrangemetns and kept coming in at the wrong places. Other guitar guys had not really learnt the songs, and did not turn an hour early as aranged to go over stuff, which pissed me off. Bass player, really on it and cool. Drummer, freakin'…

PJ and Zeppelin
I was just thinking.......it's not very often you hear Pearl Jam talk much about Led Zeppelin. When you ask them their influences it's The Who, Neil Young, but I never hear Zeppelin. I know Stone is a big Led Zeppelin fan but I'm not sure about the rest of the guys. Zeppelin is amazing and I'm sure PJ does like them. What…

Apologies to everyone in M&G
I wanted to apologize to everyone in Musicians & Gearheads. I'm sorry you've all had to put up with the Derogatory BS that's taken place between myself and Lucy. I believe the animosity started when I expressed my distaste for gear collectors collecting purely for profit. I believe Dissident and Lucy took exception to my…

What songs can't you get enough of playing at the moment?
Learning anything new? Me, i'm on a massive Tool kick at the moment. I think the pre chorus riff in “Ticks & Leeches” is right up there with my favorite of all time, along with Cemetery Gates. I always play Cemetery Gates to get me in the mood if i'm not feeling it. For some reason that always works. The intro just makes…

looking for a gtr
I play lefty (a little over a year), so I haven't been able to mess around with anything, so I ask all of you for some assistance. I will be in Houston this week and there is a gtr store for lefties which I would like to get to. I have an fender cd 140 slh acoustic and was wondering if I should upgrade to an acoustic…

Bought another project
Bought a Gretsch 5222 5 watt guitar amp. It's a combo with the 6V6 if case you don't know. Going to put a different OT in it so I can run it through all my 8 ohm cabinets. Also going to tweak the circuit (like the valve junior).

Active Pick ups
Are active pick ups the only pick ups that require a battery? How common are active pick ups? I borrowed my buddies Strat last weekend and I wasn't getting any out put from his guitar and I couldn't figure it out until I took the back plate out and noticed there was a battery in his guitar and the battery was dead. I…

Acoustic amp?
I'm a guitar player, but not a technical nut...I don't know a whole lot about amps/pedals/effects etc. I've been told that you need an acoustic amp for an acoustic guitar, as an electric amp won't quite do it justice. I've got a Vox 30w modelling amp that my acoustic sounds decent out of, but I've plugged in to Fishmans…
