Re: Does anyone take this seriously? (6 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Someone always complains, look at the recent Queens Of The Stone Age gig.
They got kicked out of their gig at a rehab centre for playing "Feel Good hit of the Summer". Somehow I think they knew they would get kicked out.
I don't see how you could ban songs for 9/11 though. They'd have to ban "Wake me up when September ends" as well.

Any ideas?
Loose ground (earth) wire either on your input jack or on the ground (earth) to your pot.
Bootlegger.
Thanks, I'll have a look at that later.

Then again, maybe counting isn't that important after all. There's a band in my area called the Dixie Jazz Quartet that has five members.

Nice one! Which area are you in, I'll remember to count my change if I ever shop there?!

Try these then:
http://www.guitarpartsresource.com/guitar_index.htm
http://www.lmii.com/Default.asp
http://www.guitarplansunlimited.com/
All in the US. Warmoth sell parts and complete custom guitars. LMII sell pretty much everything for making guitars, so do StewMac. The last sells plans (isn't that strange...), not sure if you could use them for a business though.
Couple of things from the book I mentioned earlier (if you haven't bought it by now, go and get a copy): "The only way to make a small fortune making guitars is to start with a big one.". Make sure you know all of the woodworking techniques, it's no good trying to build a guitar without them.
And make sure you start early, make a few guitars (maybe using the plans i mentioned) and start basic.

Try the Bullet in a Bible album by Green Day. Loads of solos on there, mainly after introducing each member of the band!

Never heard of him. Until now.
Was he Solo only or was he in a band as well?

And finally, where is the line between legal and illegal, if I cover an existing song, or better some one else, and I did see many times that the cover is very popular, and if I am not wrong, can people download it.
I'm not 100% certain but from what i understand if you don't profit from it (i.e. it's free) you should be alright releasing it.
Have you seen any other websites that mention this?

I am convinced that copyrights are different in different countries. I think here, they last for 70 years, and what happens, the Netherlands are now using songs from the 30ies (about that I am not 100% sure, I read it somewhere).
In the UK it is life of the artist plus 30 years.

I bought a great book, recommended by someone on Chordie actually, called "How to write songs on guitar" - by Rikky Rooksby.
It cost me GB£9.21 with free delivery from PLAY.COM.The book has loads of great tips and info on song structure, chord progressions, scales etc. etc. etc.
It's the best guitar book I've bought and I'd highly recommend it.
You got the ISBN number for that?

I compare these guitars with a car: BMW, MERCEDES, LEXUS, they are expensive too, it is maybe a stupid fact to compare a Gibson with a Mercedes, but they have one thing in common, producing a very good product.
Good point, also...
Lexus is another name for Toyota. You can buy a Toyota that is the same as a Lexus for about half the price. You can buy an Epiphone that is the same as a Gibson for about half the price.
