My Debut Single

Gossard's older/ vintage Les Pauls
Anybody know here Gossard's vintage Les Paul's went? Seems to be like he stopped playing them in public sometime shortly after No Code. Notable to me were one or two burst customs, one of which had a rat silhouette sticker, and perhaps another one (or same guitar?) that had a "3" sticker on it. There was also a gold top…

Learning to play more with less: The deconstructed hands.
So this is what it's like when you start "getting into the numbers": Muscles don't respond like they used to. Dexterity lessens rather than increases. Hand eye coordination deteriorates. Arthritis of one sort or another creeps in. Even remembering all the chords and words to a song get to be a challenge. So what do you do?…

Horrible Fret Buzz on my brand new Gibson SG
Just picked up my new Gary Clark Jr SG, got it home and the fret buzz is terrible. Especially the bass side E string and A string. The E string is buzzing from the first fret to the very last. I have been reading about fret buzz with SG's online and my head is spinning with all the different info. I can change my strings…

New guitar recommendations
hey guys, I am in the market for a new guitar. I currently have a Nashville deluxe telecaster and a 92 SRV strat. I am looking for something with humbuckers. I run those through an older modified hot rod deluxe. I had an Ltd ec 1000 with emgs and it was way to nasty (heavy metal) for me. But the guitar felt great. Is a…

Since then, I’ve become quite ill at times with a neurological issue in the brain. So, I started writing a second album to help cope.

Allan Holdsworth and his approach to scales
I thought about starting a thread on the late, great Allan Holdsworth in the Other Music forum, as he is another musician after all. That said, he is such a musician's musician and so seminal in the evolution of guitar playing that I wondered if people here on Musicians and Gearheads were fans of Allan's music on the level…

Question about audio input into a Mac

Lookin' For a Pedal (But I Havn't Found it Yet).
Pedal fans, I know I've probably asked this elsewhere but maybe not so... "I've been lookin' for a pedal But I haven't found it yet, She'll be nothin' like I pictured her to be." What I have: Squire Strat with dual Hummbuckers, small vintage cheapo Montgomery Wards Airline tube amp. That combination is nice and good at…

Also, would you know how much a used MIM Tele…
