Re: Slash Chords (6 replies, posted in Music theory)
No difference. In this example you're basically walking the bass line down from the C to the Am using a passing tone rather than just switching chords outright.
Although I've never heard this song you can probably also play a G/b in that spot and it would sound just dandy.

you can also start by learning the solos of guys you look up to, then changing them a bit and making them your own.

Topic: My Latest Attempt (7 replies, posted in My local band and me)
Look....nobody can cover this song like WH did it, so why bother?
That said I still think it's a cool song so I wanted to give it a whack. Since I can't be melodic and awesome like she was I tried to do a more rhythmic thing...

Topic: Fun Night Tonight (2 replies, posted in Acoustic)
I have a buddy in town from Chicago who is a professional blues and jazz piano player. Tonight at 5pm I got a text message that read "hey do you want to play a birthday party for a friend of mine?" I said "sure, when is it?" "In two hours."
Scramble scramble scramble and we managed to get together an hour of music that neither of us had played before - he has good enough of an ear that he was able to just follow along with guitar chord changes, and I have decent enough chord reading ability that I was able to whip out tunes like The Joker and Last Dance With Mary Jane having never played/sung on them.
Allegedly there's a brief video floating around. I'll try and get hold of it and post it here.

Re: My sound - it's official (24 replies, posted in Electric)
My pedalboard is a Fulltone Clyde Deluxe Wah into a ZVex Box O rock that I use only as a gain booster. Then we have a Fulltone Plimsoul for distortion. I then have an EH Worm for vibe and trem and a Visual Sound H2O (awesome pedal). However the lil' secret that has really changed the game is this little guy:
http://omnisonicvolumebox.com/
It allows me to crank the Deville to 8 and then pull the volume back to a reasonable level. The tubes just scream.
That Plimsoul is responsive enough that i can go from totally clean to screaming on my guitar's volume knob without screwing up my tone. I'm pretty excited.

LOL. She doesn't cook and works too much. And we have a 14'x14' closet that is mostly full of her shoes. Just thought I'd give you downsides too. Oh, we also have 5 dogs and two cats.

Re: What does YOUR wife say (34 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Mine asks me to hang them in different rooms. She thinks they are cool decor. I also have a Les Paul painting and oils of Hendrix, Ray Charles, and Thelonius Monk in our foyer, as well as a shadow box of my first CD. She's really supportive (which is great since I don't think she's a huge fan of my preferred genres of music).
She's also supportive when I bring home an impulsively purchased ES 335 or other high end axe. Good girl I got.
