Trust me I have played MANY gigs in clubs for about 15 years.  The band I was in was the most poplular band in the local area and we recorded two CD's.  So to sum things up, I have been doing this stuff for most of my life and have seen quite a bit.

I have a few friends giggin' locally( west coast Florida) that graduated and/or attended Berklee. What was/is the name of your group and is possible to hear a snippet or two from your CD's? Who knows man, it's a small world and we may actually have some mutual friends.

Steve,

I knew I smelled a spamrat............   No one ever wishes to be fed when they're not hungry, and then suckered into paying for a meal they didn't want or need in the first place only adds insult to injury.........

Let me tell you how teaching for pay works.  Ready? One gets students from their publicly displayed ability, and proper advertising ( business cards, promo pages, references from other people and/or past/present students, CD's etc.) at said venue(s). Upon initial consulation with potential student, the potential instructructor either accepts, declines, or refers student to another instructor better suited to students' needs. And sorry to offend you but the only person I've heard about you from is, well, you.

One will never have succes by tooting ones' own horn without solid proof of said tooting. No one will ever recruit paying customers by giving A-G and octave numbering for free, and then request money for additional tutelage. Kids are learning this stuff in public schools at age 5 or 6!!!  'Ya get where I'm comin' from?

Get your stuff together, play some gigs, get your face and name out there where you live. You'll get students, they'll come to you, they'll tell their friends, and they'll tell their friends, etc......

Best of luck,
SouthPaw41L

This is a great little amp. I liked it so much I bought two of 'em. I play out 6 nights a week and I use my Marshall set-up probably 90% of the time. I set 'em up to my left and right approximately 6 feet behind me. I use a Mackie unpowered mixer and chain the Marshalls together from the mixer. For the money they're as good as anything available, in my opinion.

Hey Siggi56!

Songs which feature artits crying or emotional voice cracks include:

Michael Jackson - She's out of My Life  (one of his best)

Sinead O'Conner - Nothing Compares to You

:

Sorry folks, no disrespect intended here but if I'm out somewhere and a dude sings these songs and cries while doing so, I'm gonna toss the remaining food on the plate in front of me in their general direction and gladly endure the consequences that result from my actions. Or maybe I'll just quietly get up, walk away, and never return to said venue, ever! TeeHeee!!!!!

Mesmerizing, hypnotic, spellbinding. That's how a loop( or delay) pedal is meant to be used. The dude was a special breed indeed.

Sometimes those "salepersons" in the store will have you to play the guitar you're madly in love with through $3,000.00 worth of electronic enhancement( acoustic/electric or electric). Play the guitar you're considering purchasing through what you have at home, or the next closest thing to it. I have several close friends who work at music stores so I know first hand much of the chicanery that is employed in "finalizing the deal".

Also, when playing an acoustic guitar( without electronics) in those "fancy, high-end( ah-hem; chain)" stores,the room where the guitars are displayed  are dern near acoustically perfect. So when you get home and play your new guitar, it ain't gonna sound like it did at the music store. Although it is nice and convenient to play a guitar in a soundproof room without outside noise, it is best to take the guitar of choice out into the open area of the store and play it in a "real" environment.
