I'm going with 'Zona ... I'm an Eagles fan and was ticked off once again by their performance in the title game ... same as always, play like crap for 3 quarters, dig yourself a whole, then come back to take the lead and then blow it in the last 7-8 minutes ... BUT I do like the 'Zona Cinderella story so I'm going with the Cards ... if they lose that's fine, the team deserved to experience the Super Bowl after the way they played in the post season

It's hard to explain palm-muting, it's more of a "feel" that you experience ... the more you do it the easier it becomes ... I never really palm mute on an acoustic (unplugged)

Good explanation though ApeDoctor

Oddly once you start getting the timing down on songs, you come up with your own strum patterns ... usually I'll start trying some sort of pattern that seems completely off-tempo and after a few minutes, I'll have my own pattern down pat and it sounds rather well

Just remember, you don't always have to go by a songs original strum pattern, sometimes you can come up with a better version on your own

The best advice I can give is to learn from Justin

www.justinguitar.com

He has a section on learning strum patterns that I learned from ... I was able to pick it up in one day ... extremely helpful

If you're into Social Distortion, there are quite a few good solo's that aren't too hard for beginners ... Mike Ness does simple but excellent solo's

Songs like, "When the Angels Sing", "Don't Take Me for Granted", "Ball and Chain", "Far Behind", "I Was Wrong", "Reach for the Sky", and "Story of My Life"

Here's a good starting point to find what you need:

As you can see, there are a lot of different devices to use with different price ranges ... I've been wanting to get one for a little while and was looking at the Tascum's and Olympus specifically ... I've heard the Tascum before and the playback sounded exactly like CD quality even when recorded with a band playing

I've never seen the Line6 recorder SouthPaw but I'm curious to hear what the recordings sound like

www.justinguitar.com but agreed Ken, Jamplay.com is pretty good

Rebel ... I was actually more impressed with the Epiphone Dot than I was the Gretsch ...

Jerome ... are the Gretsch's more country toned?  Maybe that's why I prefer the Epi-dot or Gibson 335 ... I get a more blues-rock tone from those that I've tried

Pix ... it's funny how I dont know how to do pinch harmonics and when I'm playing, sometimes I'll get this weird sound when I hit the string, I'll look at my pick finger and it's being held in a manner of doing pinch harmonics ... I'll realize I'm doing it and then I can't do it again ... funny stuff

You're welcome Headcase ... congrats on the new set up ... new guitars take a little while to get broken in (much like new sets of strings) ... you're daughters did well for you  

Happy New Years!

Wow very nice Jay ... I never looked at the 137 model before ... decisions, decisions, decisions

I've never used DigiTech boxes before but I assume they do just the same as the Boss boxes ... I use the MetalCore every now and then

SouthPaw ... I'm glad you explained the control knobs ... I was trying to find an easy way to explain changing your mid-range, bass, treble, etc without getting to technical
