I was always taught to never have my thumb even start to creep over the neck. srv, hendrix etc used their thumbs for chords. try doing it. very challenging That still doesn't negate the fact that there's a plethora of different chord voicings for a single chord, even on the same fret; which don't r...

I was always taught to never have my thumb even start to creep over the neck. With a seemingly endless myriad of chord voicings for a single chord, there's really no excuse for using your thumb; in my opinion. I also never used to use my pinky and forced myself to start using it. It took about a yea...

Do sound for a bunch of bands. And when you hear how much they suck, maybe you won't be that crazy about wanting to play with them. At least they'll have good sound though (granted you know how to stage good sound). Who says you don't have to be in a band? Play in a band and do the sound thing too. ...

i've been told before jumping into scales, memorize the notes on the neck. you need to know them well enough to have a fret pointed out and naming the note out quick. I personally don't think this is necessarily true. I've known a ton of different scale shapes on guitar for years now without having...

I own a Schecter C-7 Blackjack and adore it. Plays incredible for the price and considering it's made in Korea. I just bought an LTD H-207 for cheap which I only really have good things to say about except for the pickups. But that's to be expected and it's an 80 dollar fix. Tuners leave something t...

Craigslist FTW
I'd been wanting to get a "backup" 7-string to my Schecter C-7 Blackjack for a while now, but it was never at the forefront of my mind. Always a back-burner type thing. Saw an add on Craigslist for an LTD H-207 for $250, met up with the guy and walked away with it for $225. Has your expect...

well, they could pick up a guitar and play the songs for you. could the doctor sit in front of a sampler pad and play all the hits exactly like they are in one of his songs? no Could a composer play all the instruments of a symphony he wrote at the same time? No Is the composer's job to even play a...

Even though it's too late: You want the bridge as parallel to the body as you can get it. So basically you get it parallel by tightening or loosening the screws in the back, tune, it's fucked up again, tighten/loosen, tune, repeat processes; and eventually shit starts to pan out. Then you adjust int...

Should I bother with this amp?
Looking on my local craigslist there's a guy selling a Marshall Valvestate (tube preamp, solid state power) 100w 1x12 combo for $250 obo. I currently play through a Fender 60w all tube 4x10 combo, which is basically too loud to play in my room before it sounds good. I know the MG series (yuck) repla...

Totally. Modern day vernacular music, if you want to refer to it as that; is sort of a double edged sword in that respect. There's next to no requisite musical knowledge to be had if you want to play in a rock band or whatever; but on the other hand you've started to venture into music in general wi...

I played guitar in jazz band for three years in high school, and one year in junior college. I'm debatin...

It's not bad music. I just think it could be more enjoyable to me, personally, if you'd have some phrase development in the percussion. It's one spastic phrase that could be really awesome if answered by another similar phrase. But it's just one phrase, another completely different one, another comp...

Well when you play actual, real chord voicings you're going to want to have your ring finger on the 5th so you can change the chord voicing with your pinky finger. I mean even an add9 chord tells you this (1-5-9), much less other chord voicings that start to stray from the stereotypical fingering of...
