Re: Digitech (8 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
In my case unfortunately,, you have to be able to at least get close to singing on key for any of the vocal processors to sound good LOLOLOL ( maybe I should go play with one and see what it can do for me?? I need all the help I can get.)
Is this mainly based for acoustic? has anyone tried rocking it out?
Question though if your running guitar effects, do you take your line out from the vox processor and then into your effects chain? I would think an effects chain could really muddy up the Vox processor.

Re: Teaching myself (7 replies, posted in Electric)
Which fingers are bent?
If you can use 1, 3, 4 then root 5 power chords are gonna be your friend, if your 3 or 4 finger is the one in question you can use 1&3 or 1&4.if its #1 (index) then you can also retrain your remaining fingers to do the power chords. there is also open tuning where you can just use 1 finger across the neck and produce full chords. With out knowing the severity of your condition, it's a bit hard to offer correct guidance. PS you got a great guitar there! Schecter makes darn fine guitars!
this is dadgad tuning,, used byh jimmy page in a lot of songs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydMaX6wiwmc
some open D stuff https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXKThokmkE0

Re: make your own slide (4 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
When I was on the USS Inchon (MCS12) (the last version/incarnation of the old girl) I would get bored and take stainless and aluminum and cut various diameter ones, debur and then polish them up. some were pretty sharp looking. No one wanted to give up the copper or brass tubing, thats what I really wanted.
Great job on the glass. You have any friends with a good torch that could melt that down enough to really smooth it out?

Re: Did Jimmy Page steal Stairway To Heaven? (14 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I think along the lines of TF. Everybody borrows from somebody sometime. If they used to open for spirit, then how could you not get a certain melody in your head, but they defiantly took STH way beyond and further down that "confounded bridge!"

Here is a funny. I have a bunch of Behringer stuff and get good use out of it. I can't use it on stage, though. The guy that plays guitar in the band is an industrial designer by trade, and created the Mackie VLZ series mixer's control layout. He's mad about Behringer copying the Mackie designs. I keep trying to tell him that imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, but he's having none of it.
AND THEY RIP MARSHALL AND BOOGIE ON THE AMPS lolol WHEN IT COMES TO THE $$ THEY ARE GOING TO WIN EVERY TIME. Their effects are pretty great too.

I agree Jerome! Behringer is good stuff, I think they are still using Bulgara speakers in most of their equipment and those things are TOUGH. Excellent frequency response and can rattle the windows clear across town without ripping their own guts out. Some things on them are plastic when metal would be better, but if you don't abuse your gear, it'll last.
Take Care;

Yes they are using Bugera speakers,, Matter of fact their whole valve amp line is named Bugera. I have the V5. and I have a 60w BERHINGER 1X12.

it sounds clean but I like Doug's suggestion. you might want to look into this also http://guitarfuel.com/Acoustic_Preamp.php prices look pretty good.
NOW on the mic, Sure sm57s are great,, but $$$ usually comes into the play here also. sure sm57 99 bucks and http://www.fullcompass.com/product/2833 … 7Aodyj8AOw xm8500 = 20 to 30 bucks

Re: Piezo bridge (3 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
Well if your wanting an acoustic sound out of your electric,, skip the hasell of the bridge, usually you can find a used digitech rp 250 for 50 - 80 bucks or so. http://www.amazon.com/DigiTech-RP250-Gu … B000K4ZZ06 The acoustic model on it is really great. select that, dial in some reverb /chorus an your sounding just fine. + you get all the other goodies and with the right usb cable it can go right to your computer and record + you can also tweek your stock models and save them and you have a downloadable library of 1000+ patches from the user library. bump up to 160 bucks and get a rp 255 and you get a Sitar patch and a looper also.
then here are other options stomp box
http://www.musiciansfriend.com/amplifie … ects-pedal 25 bucks and its a good one! no matter what you are playing if you dont have an EQ you missing out http://www.musiciansfriend.com/amplifie … dal/h85655
There are more expensive ones out there for both,, if you look at the reviews on guy listed his soundcloud page with audio samples. if budget is no problem then I would think also about the BOSS but its 125 http://www.musiciansfriend.com/amplifie … -simulator
ok but it still all comes down to what you want have fun experimenting!
