I've been trying my hand at playing slide.  Does anyone have any tips for an alternate tuning.  The standard EADGBE doesn't cut it.  Tuning the E's down to D's helps but I can't help thinknig that when I hear some of the contemparary slide players, the tuning sounds different.

I hope I'm not getting greedy here.  "Sailin' Shoes" by Little Feat.  I can't seem to figure out the root chord.

I'm looking for the Chords & Lyrics for Escape (also known as the Pina Colada song).  It was very popular in the late 1970's.  I'm not even sure who did it. Please Help !!!

For those who are interested (probablt no one), after confering with my good friend Bruce, my Luthier/Guitarist and jam partner, I'm going with Southpaw's suggestion and looping.  My choice is a Digitech Jamman.

I'd like to add one suggestion to Jpage's excellent advice.  Try muting the strings with your left hand and strum the strings while trying to get a feel for the rhythm of the strum pattern.  It will give you a feel for the strings against your pick as well as give you audible feedback as to wether the pattern fits...just my two cents

Six months ago I purchased an Ibanez AED10EVS.  It was recommended to me by a good friend of mine who is a luthier.  After some minor setup work it plays outstanding.  As far as tone, I could not believe what a great sound it has.  As a bonus it has Fishman electronics with both high and low impedeance outputs.  Almost as good as the gutar itsellf is the price, 300.00 (US)

I am a guitarist from the Philadelphia PA area seeking to either form or join a band.  I have been playing guitar for 28 years (since I was 11 years old).   I am currently putting together a solo act but I would love to play with a band again professionally (I took about 15 years off to raise a family).   I like to play all types of music except heavy metal (I like to listen to it but not play it no offense) email me at <a href="mailto:craig.tp&#64;comcast.net" target="_blank">craig.tp&#64;comcast.net</a>

When I search Barry White, I get only one song (not the one I'm looking for) and it is a Bass tab which does me no good.  I looking for, "Your my first, My last, My everything" as well as "Never Gonna Give You Up".

Thanks SouthPaw,  I think I got it.  I'm not sure if that's the route I'll take but I like the originality of looping.

So a live loop means that I play a song live with the tape rolling, so to speak and when I want to play a solo for the instrumental section, the looper plays the song back as I play live.  If I have that part correct, what about songs, for example Bozz Scaggs "Low Down" where the instrumental section changes cords and then goes back to the verse. Also how can live looping add a bass line and drum beat. Pardon me if I seem thick headed about this.  I want to make the right choice and I too don't like "canned" music.

Thanks for the imput.  I sort of feel the same way however my knowledge of new tchnology is virtualy nil.  What I want is something that can add some fullness to my performance, I'll be playing popular tunes from the 40's to the present day. Will live looping do this for me and where can I find out more about it.

I am a former working musician that is looking to get back into the swing of things so to speak.  My goal is to perform as a solo guitarist w/vocals at the local bars for happy hours and so forth.  I am looking for a sequencer to compile drum & bass lines etc. for accompaniment.  My on-line search has led me to the Yamaha QY-100.  Does anyone have any first hand knowledge about this unit or make any suggestions about another model.

Listen to your father.  ALWAYS listen to your father.  There are about eight basic cords.  Certain cords alway go together to form a pattern in a song.  Example: G, C, & D.  Learn these cords and strum them this way... (for each / strum downward)  G//// C//// G//// D//// and there you go you making music. 


Start with the basics
