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.

Not tried one. Given what it is (a lot of digital simulations in one package), any thoughts? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeX_G-0PdqE Sounds okay, clean.

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…

References to the Stratocaster in films etc. plus anti-Strat people
I am doing a project on the Stratocaster for a Culture Studies class. Got some interesting stuff so far, but was thinking you guys could probably point out some stuff I've been missing as well.

mike plays Yellow Ledbetter with something other than a Strat!!!
http://youtube.com/watch?v=v0loCmA47A0&feature=related didn't know he ever did that!! much more chilled out version of this song back then as well him and stone will probably switch to those hollow body gibsons with no distortion the older they get, like keith richards!

Improvising
Hey guys, Anyone know a good place to go to learn how to improve improvisation techniques? I'm a beginner when it comes to lead/improv/solo stuff...I know my pentatonic scale but that's about it.

What do you think of my gear?
Hey guys, so I'm a noob when it comes to gear. I am like intermediate at best when it comes to playing, but when it comes to amps and what not I don't know a whole lot. I was hoping I could post what I have here and maybe someone if they are bored enough could tell me if I've got a bunch of crap, and maybe point me in the…

First band practice...........
OK, after the first rehersal, we knew we had to get the arrangements sorted, so we booked a rehersal room, and got stuck into it last night, for about 5 hours. By the end, we played the whole set through and barring a few fluffed notes and chord changes, we nailed all the arrangements, and were really starting to just have…

Nothing As It Seems effects
Sorry if this has been asked before, I didnt have much luck searching. Just wondering if anyone has effects tips for playing NAIS, in particular the solo and interlude bits, aiming for a sound like Mike gets on the Seattle 2, 00 bootleg. Is it a combination of delay and the fender blender? Any wah or way of doing it…

Ok Guys, nothing too big, or too small. Looking for something to that can hold its own at a coffee shop, yet something that would sound good in a larger venue, mic'd or not. Here's what I've been looking at, let me know what you think, or if you have other suggestions. Thanks in advance!!! Also, trying not to spend more…
