can you play F#m? just leave the top and bottom strings open (if you can) and there you have it

i have a peavy bandit 112, it's not big but heavy...to be honest i dont want to buy any more equipment, but if i could find an amp that would give me the same power and sound i might be tempted.

my first amy was a selmer 5 watt, which gave great distortion but was still quiet even in my bedroom and never gave a clear sound even at minimum volume so would never do in a concert environment.

i've also done the marshall half stack and several other less than satisfactory boxes.

i once played through a fender amp....very impressed, but that was a biggie.

your general and i are in total agreement. just one question; how the hell do they get us poor saps to kill and be killed for them?

hi russ, from what i read you get a 2 gb card in the box, is that right? and how much recording can you do with it?

20 questions he he

waiting with baited breath for the run down, how it sounds? how it runs etc

hi there fireman, welcome.

as far as theory goes, i know nothing. i can read music a bit so i've always played guitar by the seat of my pants, then i've learned what little i know of piano the same way, and computers come to that.

by the way, i've been gigging since 1970, with what little i know, so there you go!

i do have a good knowledge of chords and i know where all the notes are on keyboard and guitar, that helps.

i'm glad you pointed out which one you are as i'd never have guessed. i used to have hair once too, and i was in a hard rock band, if i remember correctly we were called Enchiriadis, then i joined a band called Sylvester. then an assortment of cabaret bands (i dont wish to recall) and a C/W duo called Bodene and Steele...ah! those were the days......i'll have a rummage around to see if i can find any old photo's .

hi russ, this is the recorder i've been drooling over for the last few months. i've finally got the wife to agree (in principle) to me getting one in (hopefully) june. they sound brill, lets hope they perform to expectations. they're about £635 in the UK, but i've found a site that sells them for £520 give or take. they come with a 2 gig card and transformer...roll on june

yeah russ, i've listened a couple of times and i cant make my mind up. it could make a good country song with a few tweeks and a bit of acoustic guitar and bass. it's not really what i've become accustomed to with your music; sweet and mellow? i like the chord structure something you always excel in.

i guess i'm not used to russ harding the lovey-dovey composer!!!

please note; russ and i are always straight with one another, there is no offense or criticism meant and we only want the best results from our work.

russ i'm only next door if you want anything, by next door i meant on the next continent, there's only a half second time lag.

it's rough but with great potential

hi russ, congrats on the piano. my yamaha has an XG section which gives the original sounds plus tweeks! it also has a split keyboard and dual sounds too. as i've said before i've had it for 5 or 6 years and the midi out is shot, due to moving it about and pulling the connector in and out too much, so be careful of that. there's a whole world to explore in that keyboard, so my advice is to try everything.

oh pete, and dino, when i got my first piano, i just transferred guitar chords using triads (three finger notes) eg; chord of C would be C-E-G. etc. you can add 6ths, 7ths,9ths etc as you like, as a fourth note, left hand plays the bass root. all you need now is rhythm

i bought a qwik tune tuner, very good does the job. when i bought my boss me50 it had an on-board tuner. there were slight discrepancies between tuners....later when i got my digitech vocalist, i found it also had a tuner which deviated from the ME50 also! the digitech is a voice processor so needs the guitar to be in tune with it's internals, so i now use that on stage and it's an easy fix while your half way through a song.
