Well if that is the problem, I suggest acoustic bronze light. I honestly have not felt a difference in "flat/round etc.. " type strings. I know some ppl are very temperamental about them, I just must not have developed that kind of touch in 20 + yrs

If you dont want to spend a lot of $ on a Mic but get good quality,, try the one I linked. I have a studio mic from the same company and its great (also two amps, my 5w Bugera valve and my 60 W GMX1x12). I really dont think you could go very wrong with it.
I cant help on the Amp side of things since I dont have acoustic amps. Have you looked at the MF site or zzounds, Music 123?

Re: Basic Technique ?? (7 replies, posted in Acoustic)
what type of music are you wanting to play? an Zurf is correct, practice your scales and strum with what you feel comfortable with. I like to alternate between working scales and switching chords and mixing them up.

Re: SG vs. V or Explorer (2 replies, posted in Electric)
I love my SG and mainly cause of the neck,, ( and the Lynch pick up in the bridge ,
unless you like to stand a lot, dont get the V. They are cool Hard rocking guitars, but not real comfy for sitting and playing. ( we have a dean V also) I have always love the feel of the explorer, just no funds for it( even the eppie). I would defiantly go for the explorer.

Zurf - I got an IM from Amy wondering if anyone was interested in joining tonight (6/29) but I don't know who all she sent it to. Hopefully one or the other (or preferably both) of you will be on this evening. I sent a request to you on Skype to be added to your contacts list.
I'll check in from time to time, although if it gets much past 10:00 pm central I probably won't be able to play (only listen) because my office is not soundproof.
I sent you a Email,, look for an add contact for beamer326 we are in the same bat state and same bat time zone

J3, I mainly use my RP for one type sound and augment it w/ the stomps. ( I have the RP running into an old Laptop to programme it,,makes it much easier! + I have downloaded every patch from Digitech the site for it)
BTW I created a great Acoustic setting for my SG. Took the stock Acoustic sample, added in a diff reverb than what they had, then put some Phaze into it and used the sigle coil simulator. It sounds really great! If your on tonight(late) ill let ya hear it. and show ya how I got the stuff rigged up.

Topic: anyone on late tonight 6/29/12 (14 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Anyone going to be on skype Late tonight? Im talking about 10-11 Centeral time?
I am leaving work early tonight (7:30) an will be home around 9:30. (1.5 drive time w/ a beer / wallmart stop).
I played till 730 AMlast night /this morning. Wrote a song, laid down very rough guitar track, bass track and my vocal (which was bad but not terrible, so I was happy with it) with my Audigalaxy prog. Then I realized my guitar was tuned a half step down and the bass was standard!, so at 645 I tuned down the bass and redid that track!
I was pretty keyed up and was hard to sleep for 4 hours b4 coming to work but im jazzed about it!
One thing though, I need a chorus!! I have 4 great verses but no chorus or bridge. I need some help with this. Any takers?

The rhythm matters, the beat matters, the feel and tempo matters. Strumming patterns don't mean a hill of beans. You can oftentimes play the same song in numerous patterns and each sound as good as the other. You can even vary strumming patterns in the same song. That's why I hate "what is the strumming pattern to this song" questions - there ain't no such thing - strum what feels and sounds good for the moment, then change it when the feeling moves you. If it sounds good it is good.
IN your words

I just threw away my adapters.... Even though 9vs are a pain I found they power pedals better somehow....
were you using the one spot? I have seen the adaptor boxes that have the plug that acts like a semi drained battery for that really fuzzy sound you can get.
Since I do not have to worry about giging, I have a cool set up at home for a pedal board, I think I have Posted it here b4, and finally got a onespot to power everything. I love just turning on one switch to fire everything up. Well I keep the amp off and use its switch, but I can leave everything patched up.
I think if I did travel a lot, I would probably just use 3 stomps and my RP, but still keep the Onespot

hi daydub.
"stomp pedals" are a bit of a pain to me. you have to wire up, change batteries etc. i'd rather have a pedal board, i have a boss ME50 which i use on stage as all the FX are programmable and you can switch them on and off as needed. there are many pedals available and i would always suggest trying them out for yourself as listening to the "company professional" can be very misleading. go to your favourite music shop and get them to show you their stock. they wont mind you trying them out and dont think the dearest one is the best, get the one most suited for your sound and ease of use.
phill
Even with out a pedal board, you can still get a power supply and not worry about frequent battery changes, but keep the battery in there for when you just dont want to mess with it. I love stomps, they are an addiction. If you get beyond 3 or 4 stomps, then a Pedal board is nice and there are MANY different routs to go on that one also.
With all the advise,, maybe you should let us know what type sound your shooting for, or just an good all rounder? then you can also have OD and an DIST. I have even run them together to get a sound I want. then there is also a BOOST pedal that can get you just over the top.

Re: Effects pedals (16 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
Yes. what kind did you get? it goes to clean signal , but some of the older ones bypass and some newer have "true bypass" menating noise free, and some have a noise gate in them you can adjust. go on you Tube and lok up distortion pedal previews or shoot outs you can see and hear how the different ones work. there is also overdrive,, which is a milder distortion. here are tow of the links I was talking about.

Buy a cheap metronome they help a lot with tightening up your timing. Most songs are on cd and if you use an electronic tuner you will be in tune with a cd once you know what chords they're playing and then play along with the song.

You know I have to say, When people Have told me the same thing,,, it really grates me. Because you (dont take it personally, its a you as in whoever) assume that we can hit it without any instruction. I have tried to use it and a drum loop, yea I can play note for note on a scale and a dum dee dumm chord, and when I think Im on beat, I will have someone tell me im not in time. So to really have it be of benifit, someone, I think, needs to help you get started and understand what your supposed to really be doing.
This is mainly for stuff I try to write and play to drum loops, other wise I follow the song with the CD. (and make sure if the CD is in standard , half down or drop D / C to play too or that also can mess you up)
I asked my sons teacher to train him with a click track and he shrugged it off and said if really needed he might. I let it go, not to be a slave to the click, but it would help soooo much if I were taught how to maintain it, and I wanted my kid to not have the same problems as me. Maybe Im alone in this, but I dont think so,
ok off my soap box. Sorry to digress the thread.

I wish the post had dates on them, I was looking around sat evening and sunday, but didnt seem to catch anyone, I only have Amy and Roger in my list, so If any of you other guys would be kind enough to look me up it woud be great 
Sat was great for me since I was home,, Finally got oil changed in two cars and a full load of free wood. (well its pine,, but good enought to camp with and burn in the outside pit.) My wood rack is fuller than its been in 5 yrs! (no side comments please LOLOLOL)

I did play some songs on the porch for a new neighbor, which inspired me to pratice some Sun night. Spent a lot of time with my Son also which is always good. If there is a set sat or sun night I may be able to plan for it better when Im not at work.
Sorry I missed it.
