What does everyone think about when a popular band, such as Queen, sells their songs to be used on TV commericials, movies, etc? Take "We Will Rock You" for example, one of the best rock songs ever written. Then it shows up on TV all over the place, advertising restaurants and the like. Also, take "Sweet Home Alabama" being played on the KFC ads...anyone have an opinion on this?

Try pretty much any AC/DC riff, they use really simple chords and sound cool.

I wouldn't call it a fear (it used to be), but I absolutely abhor spiders. I find them to be repulsive, vile creatures.

I imagine those would have quite a bit of drag on the strings....I could be wrong, but I've never heard of them.

Re: Stairway To Heaven solo (2 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
One thing I will say is that Jimmy's phrasing is awesome. It is a good solo, but I don't understand why it's ranked #1 of all time. I don't think guitar solos can be ranked; trying to compare a Yngwie Malmsteen solo to a BB King solo or Jimmy Page to SRV is like comparing violins to guitars, they're just not designed for the same thing.

Good equipment helps more than some people think, but the talent still lies within the player. Sometimes, however, the talent isn't unlocked until the player moves up to better equipment.

Re: Good Brands?? (20 replies, posted in Electric)
Those are nice, but not if you don't have $700+. Unless you're content with an Epiphone or Squier, I'd recommend Ibanez and ESP. Thing is, it's all dependent on your preference. Do you like a really flat neck, or a thicker, more rounded one? Do you want single-coil pickups or humbuckers? How many frets do you want? Looks play a big part too-Gibsons and Fenders are more of a classic look, where you'll find more edgy designs with the Ibanez and ESP's. Good luck picking one out!

Re: Favourite Acoustic solo (11 replies, posted in Acoustic)
I have heard that Classical Gas is not by Clapton, but rather Mason Williams. Perhaps Clapton covered it though. My favorite acoustic solo is called "Song For Life" by Eric Johnson. Check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mV5dMDId7uY

Re: Anyone have any experience with these? (9 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
I've never tried them personally but have read they give you a more classical or softer acoustic tone. They also require less tension to tune so are easier to play... If I remember right, Russ is a big fan of them and perhaps he'll chime in with some more info. -Pix
Reading the reviews I heard mention that they have more volume.

Looking for something different for the acoustic. I like bright sound, but I play a lot of fingerstyle too, so I'm thinking maybe something like these might work better.

Any piano players,female vocalists,male vocalists or lead guitar players out there that are looking for a project then by all means take a few minutes and Email (At the left) me so we can do some long distance recording.Thanks Again 06sc500
I'm glad you liked itKenny
